What to spray on your bike for a muddy ride?

Black Diesel Bomber

We don't have to worry about mud much here in CA but it's been muddy in some of the washes I've been riding lately.  With that said, what do you guys spray on your bike to prevent mud from sticking to it? 

WD40?
Pam?
Crisco?
SC1?

I figure WD40 should work if I cake it on under the fenders before the ride, but let me know.  And spray it right on the discs too right?  Smile

Mud on a dirt bike? That’s crazy bro….. even when it’s dry the track owners manage to make it a mud fest back east…. Usually we just wash our bikes when we are done….

In our part of Ohio, this is the best solution for the clay we call "mud". It works

I use cooking spray, and I'm very careful not to get over spray on the rotors. Made that mistake, only once.

But it made your cornering faster for at least the first half of the berm.

It was actually my Dad that did it, so you may be on to something!

My neighbour used that Lucas quick mist stuff all over the damned bike, asked me to take a lap with it, first tight 180 was...exciting... Lesson learned, don't ride other peoples stuff. No matter how nicely restored it is. Ever. Stuff did a pretty good job of keeping the bike clean, anyway.

That 100% or mix it with Nu car finish wax. I use that inside the air boot& air box. It’s super slick. Polish your wheels. Swing arm ,linkage,frame then spray it with silicone or wd40.  If your hv pressure on a rider. Beat him to the standing water in a corner & send that wave on him. Everyone hates that. Haha

Rub Polish butter on the low spots. Virgin sponges in the voids. PAM on high spots. Scotch Guard everything.
