[@motov8-garage832]

I bought my first bike with my first jobs tax return when I was 18, waited my whole young life to get a dirt bike. Got a 01 yz 125 from a ez pawn for 900$ plus tax..talked them down from 1200, a GI had just lost it in pawn, it was in great shape and well maintained surprisingly from a pawn shop..but I lucked out like it was meant to be lol. I rode that bike for like 7 years to hell and back. Sold it for 1500$ lol still ran great. I've had several other dirtbikes,quads,3wheelers, and some streetbikes since then. Motorcycles has been my main hobby. I think I love maintaining and working on them as much as i love riding. So if its somthing your passionate about and you work and plan for it. It will happen. You can achieve whatever you want🤘 part of my motivation was I would ask my parents for a dirtbike or quad every birthday, Christmas..all the time. And theyd either say they cant afoard it or they dont want me getting hurt..Then I'd watch the neighbor kids riding, while I was setting there playing excitebike on my nintendo..I think all that turned into my addiction for motorcycles I have now lol. I wanted one bad.

Knee sleeves or long socks are a must. They make any knee protection feel so much better, and keep your knee protection more fresh. One recent addition that I made was a cordless, lithium ion high capacity fan. The breeze is not always blowing, and you need to move some air to cool off. Love my new fan.

I found diluted Simple Green to be the best also. Do NOT use Super Clean or any other type of heavy duty degreaser. It will permanently damage/stain the aluminum and other parts on the bike.

You can scrub it of with scotch brite pads and also dilute the degreaser first

Applies to two stroke beginners, get a ratio right cup, no guessing just measure it and mix it...when I first started riding I was so confused about the whole gas to oil ratio mixing

If you are watching this done get chain lube, I’ve had all sorts of brands of lube and nothing works better than WD40. It drives out the moisture and stops the chain from rusting whilst keeping it slick and smooth. But lube attracts the dirt and holds it onto the chain.

[@devilsden3326]

Another thing id recommended is hand levers i lost count on how many sets o have gone through

I admit it's a lot more stuff than I thought about considering buying a first bike. But it's possible.. just gotta take my time buy one or a couple things at a time if you're on a budget.

I got my first bike this summer. It is a 2001 yamaha yz80. I want to get into racing next summer, but i dont know if i should get a new bike or not. The radiator is dead, the engine often loses power, the plastic (and some of the metals) looks like sheisa and the shift lever is stiff. I like my bike but i dont want the radiator to blow out on the first lap, and have my wheel fall off on the second.

VP Race Gas - T2 for 2-stroke. If for no other reason than the smell! TJ's also has that!

[@TheMxFactory]

Thanks for the extra tip!

[@kaic9712]

Why VP race gas it’s over priced premium gas from the pump will do the trick, I’m not too sure about oil since I have a 450 but I think I’m going to buy a 2021 yz250 two smoker and I’ll have to look into that oil bc I love the smell and the better smelling the oil the better the bike

[@tkwood]

@@kaic9712 It's 105 octane with 0 ethanol and 40:1 mix with premium synthetic VP oil that burns super clean in your 2 stroke. This was actually a joke, to some extent though, because if you grew up like I did watching 2 stroke motocross than you know the smell of race gas is amazing. When my bike was at TJ's they were starting it up and people were coming to the work area from the showroom to smell the sweet richness. As long as you are getting ethanol free gas and mixing with premium synthetic oil, then you are fine.

Build a bike stand out of a pallet for free, use a jerry can not a gas can, use wd40 for chain lube (if you have an o ring chain) you don’t need bike cleaner you can just use a pressure washer. Save your money for good gear and parts to keep your biking running.
