Must Know Dirt Bike Hacks and Tips!

[@esmeben]

After almost 50 years of Dirt riding this is one of the most useful info summaries I've seen Than you.

[@lukefitzgerald8629]

Comprehensive, as always.... RE: water bladders, I keep mine in the fridge to prevent bacteria or mould build up.

[@PetterIvarsson]

Good tip. I always dry mine and store it ventilated.

[@airindiana]

Yeah I’ve stuck mine in the freezer for same reason

[@bmwlane8834]

Luke, I've been doing the same for years. It works

[@CZwies20]

I do the same, wash with warm water then throw it in the freezer

[@leroywilliams7210]

I only put filtered water in mine and then don’t dump it till next fill so it doesn’t let air in and grow bacteria. I get a couple years out of a bladder. Also I find Camelbak the least likely to get mold doing it this way.

[@stevedouglas1654]

Ethanol Free Super Unleaded gas won’t leave a varnish in the carb. I had it in my Smartcarb for 4 years and it had zero varnish buildup 👍

[@handendaer]

the very very least u, 99% of you need, is a 1k ECU to make ur bike 2-5% faster. learning braking and taking lines and practice fundamental mechanics will be the best thing u ever do if want to improve. practice practice practice.

[@stevemx2778]

For sure, save this 1k for practicing and changing your tires and suspension rebuild you will ride better !

[@dotholo]

Add-on for tip 46 (Oiling air filters), just use gallon plastic bags, rather than making a mess with your gloves and multiple drain pans.

[@human1513]

You use Rotella T4 not T6 which meets JASO MA2? I have been trying as chain lube WD-40 Specialist Dry Lube with PTFE (teflon). It does not attract dirt and mud and appears to not get flung off. The can or their website says, " Dirt & Dust Resistant. Safe for rubber, metal, rollers, slides,..." "Lubricates and provides superior long-lasting rust and surface corrosion protection up to 6X longer than the competition**" "...no oily residue...."

[@Papparratzi]

MA is for wet clutch. MA2 is wet clutch with catalytic converter.

[@PetroPowerLtd]

As a machinery consultant, the WD40 people taught me it is not a lubricant and it leaves an intentional residue. WD = Water Displacement chem lab attempt number 40. 1958 first sold to the public but developed in '56 meant to spray Atlas missiles outer skin to prevent rust from trapped water. Then we used it on distributor caps on the side of a road in the early 60's for our cars trucks that splash through a puddle and die; sprayed through the dwell adjust window. WD then started making multiuse sprays that are actual lubricants. I use WD40 to get water out of tight spots but follow with a real lubricant. Just sayin ...

[@davelambardo6464]

This has been one of the best "tips" videos i think i have ever seen. Learned maybe 10 new techniques. And was reminded of probably 5 or 7 more items. Good stuff!

[@jamesbeck8450]

Jay is the man. Im not currently riding dirt and still watch all his stuff!

[@hardscope7744]

Same I’m on a super sport😂😂😂 r1 2020 dam what a machine that is bro

[@hon702aa]

You should try 75w-140 differential fluid on your chain. Apply to an old tooth brush and just spin the wheel. Do the top, the bottom and both sides. It doesn't take long at all and it barely even slings off. No more than a typical spray. That one bottle will last you years and you will save a lot of money

[@therawlifefamily]

I've been doing that based off of fortnine's recommendation, but not with a toothbrush. Gonna have to try that!

[@3BrothersExtreme]

So much good stuff in one video. Thanks Jay!

[@dirtbiketv1]

Glad you liked it!

[@nicholasshook7513]

Does anyone on here you rotella for motor oil?

[@DBAUG]

Power washing if not necessary, this is one of the common maintenance mistakes. Water and moisture get into all kinds of pockets on the motorcycle. The wire harnesses, electrical connections, bearings, etc. You power wash the motorcycle , the water penetrates everywhere, and then you park the motorcycle for the next period, in a dark and unventilated place. A sure recipe for corrosion, rust, etc., (unless you did something stupid and drove in a salty area, like the beach), It is better to park a dirty and dry motorcycle than a clean and wet one...

[@savage22bolt32]

Mine is always dirty. Sometimes dry & sometimes wet. I got rid of my pressure washer, just use hose / nozzle

[@rockman49er]

Wow you look like the bad cop from Rambo first blood 😮 lol you ever get that 😂

[@Natedoc808]

avoid WD40 on your bike, it is a Water Dispersant (40) not a lubricant. Beware pressure washing your bike anywhere near electrical connections, plugs, hose attachments, seals, perches or bearing- that damn water will get forced in and ruin parts. Use a quality cleanser, typically hose pressure is plenty or a power washer (not pressure washer) that puts out 300-500psi.

[@FullXThrottle]

I’d say it’s not bad to use as a cleaner for your chain and then apply chain lube afterwards

[@andrewberg2361]

Been dirt bike riding for 52 years and for my 68th birthday I brought myself a New TE250I Husky . Let's see how many more years I get . Love the Husky, 2 strokes rule . Great video .

[@nobodyshero200]

I onow you're a pro. WD40 is a penetrant not a lubricant. My experience is different to yours. On a mountain bike my chain lasted 11 days before it fell apart. I should imagine weapon oil is plentiful in the USA and as long as it does not expand the o rings x rings would be better if gear oil os too expensive?

[@Ridefastorgetpassed]

Hey on my carbureted 300xc do you think it would be ok to blow compressed air through the fuel inlet hose the way you show to stop the carb needle from leaking but instead to dry out the carb for winter. The drain is a pain to get too. Tired of replacing pilot jets.

Yes!

[@wee535]

The hole for my chain slider is stripped on my 08 CRF450R. It says 5x8 for the screw, what size time-sert should I use? I want to get the right one since they’re pretty pricey. Thank you anyone that can help 🙏

[@edwardclark3980]

Chain WAX is good.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Helicoils are used in most aircraft, (including military), for all screws that are screwed into aluminum. If installed well, they work well. They also (like an insert), make the thread stronger, are replaceable, are lighter (big reason for aircraft), stainless steel so they won't rust, and do not require as big of a new drilled/tapped hole as a insert does. How much material you have around the hole to drill for the tap can get pretty thin with inserts. If you don't have much meat around the hole, a helicoil will almost always fit.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

But with experience, we still all have our preferences for the details. :)

[@thedeepstate78]

Make me think of my crf.

[@hoosierdaddy2468]

That was a lot of good stuff. 😊 I don’t see how running the rear brake pedal high reduces dragging and heating rear. I’d think it would be opposite..?.

[@dirtbiketv1]

OH sorry- because if its high you will come to a stop really quick and get your foot off of it-- if its level or under you wont feel yourself dragging it -- with it high much more of you leg weight is on it and thus you will feel it slow you down really quick-LOL

[@hoosierdaddy2468]

I’ll give it a shot! Been fighting rear brake drag so I lowered mine thinking it would get stop my foot from pressing on it without realizing. I’m sure it’s the operator being the problem but it is the 1 thing that I’ve been fighting to the point it’s in my head. You guys are on it, fast reply! Keep up the great content.

Rotella t6 for the win. Switch all my bikes to it couple years ago quieted down my hondas and everything runs smooth as butter for basically half the price as gn4 or yamalube

[@PaulKind3d]

Recently had to fix threads for a spark plug. It blew right out of the engine... =( Wish id have found this video earlier... took me weeks of research to find timeserts. They did the trick amazingly. I knew about helicoil, but seeing how they are expecting install i just walked right past. Glad i held out and found timeserts. They are amazing, easy to install and give you a real fix that will never fail and give you steel on steel threads. For spark plugs def the wayt to go. Pricey, but not as pricey as a job done bad.

[@edsyphan3425]

How are they different? I hadn’t heard of the Timesert.

[@PaulKind3d]

@@edsyphan3425 Well, it fully replaces the threads. Its a whole kit. Comes with a few tools and the inserts (4 i think). The inset itself is kinda like a tubular sleeve. Firt you use the tool to rethread the original threads to a larger size, next you use the special tool to cut, dirve and fix the sleeve. Its not any more complicated really, just guarantees a fix every time perfectly. When doing spark plug holes, you dont really wanna make a mistake. Helicoils are cheap but they also are known to fail and be really tough and error prone depending on the application at hand. This removes all the worry. You basically cant screw it up and you are guaranteed a fix that will last forever.

Is it true that a 2-stroke with gas still left in the carb will not corrode like a 4-stroke. When the gas evaporates the 2-stroke is still oily and kinda protects it. Do you agree

I say Dunlop underrated the MX14 scoop tire. They said they designed it to be good on a wider variety of ground, but only pushed it for the sand. That tire is hard to beat for anything golf course hard and softer. Best tire I ever used, hands down, in the Michigan CCC trails. Even with poor low RPM power on 2-stroke YZ250, (for now), I don't have to pull on the bars much to get my front over the next sandy whoop as I had to with the MX33. I don't think any tire today will beat that MX14 in those trails, and Dunlop does not seem to know that.

Lock on grips are too large for small hands . Spray the bike with WD40 after you wash it displaces water and hinders rust. I you mix STA-BIL in youre gas when you get it... you will hardly ever get a jet clogged in a 2 or 4 stroke keeps gas from breaking down .

What most people do, included factory teams is to change filters too often. All filter sience says the oposit. As long as you have enough airflow, oilflow etcetera you will have a more efficient filter the dirtier it is (to a limit). Vehicles are nor equipped with flowmeters, as industries often are. An industry air filter can cost $20000 or more. Its important for them to know WHEN to change or clean a filter. Its the same with all filters, whatever you hear from ”specialists”. I change oilfilter every 10 hours and air filter when it looks terrible. Sometimes it can be 10 hours between my air filter changes. The worst thing that can happen is that the bike starts running bad because of low air supply. Dont wait too long with the oil filter though. 10 hours are no problem. If you install an oil flow meter you can monitor and even learn to be at the limit. Flow meters are expensive though. Cheers 👍🏼

I have an old bike too, 05 CRF 250R. It has been a lot of work to get it running, and keep it running. Hopefully you have some tools and mechanic “know how”. As someone who owns 3 used bikes, my next purchase will be brand new. I like riding more than fixing. And many times, the old bike will cost as much as new if you actually fix everything on it. That being said, I’m probably going to keep 2/3 of my old bikes, and buy a brand new DRZ for moto camping, and around the city rides. Hope your kid enjoys the bike though!

[@fredx6678]

Don't let anyone work on your bike that uses threaded inserts and thinks Heli-Coils are bad. They clearly do not know how superior Heli-Coils are and how much damage threaded inserts do to the original castings. The only people who think Heli-Coils don't work are clearly not professionals and should not be trusted. On high performance aluminum engines all threads are replaced with stainless steel Heli-Coils because they are stronger than the original aluminum thread. High performance race engines, Military, Aircraft all use Heli-Coils and never "Thread Serts". FYI, the only time it is acceptable to use a threaded insert is when someone had ruined the hole tapped for Heli-Coil inserts so the part is already junk and you might as well put in a bulky inferior thread replacement.

[@quantumtechcrypto7080]

Mix WD40 with synthetic oil approx 10% you can go thicker but clogs spray tip. WD is a good penetrant but ok lubricant. The oil gets thinned out and penetrating everything

[@johnwilkes8847]

What kind of Solvents do you recommend for things like cleaning bearing grease before repacking bearings? Any specific product?

[@nikhayes3396]

I am also with you with the "chain lube" situation. The only thing that they do is attract dirt and sand and wear out the chain. I know it looks corny to have your chain all rusty on the outside if you leave it completely dry, that is why a light oil like WD-40 is good... But I can attest that just running an o-ring chain bone dry your sprockets and chain will last 10x longer.

why do you need a different fuel pump for a bigger tank on a 21+ 300 bike? serious question because i installed a new desert tank a month ago , and i was able to get the pump to the mounting location at the bottom of the tank.. i also remember not bolting back in the upper portion on the right hand side until after i had the pump secured and i still had play in the hoses and wires. By that i mean i dont feel like i pulled anything too tight in order for it to work. i tested the system by putting in very little gas first to check for leaks and functionality of running at low fuel levels and everything seemed cherry. but your comment during this video now has me concerned i missed something. maybe im mis-interpreting what you said.
