A good trick is to keep a list of stuff that you forgot when you go riding. Just keep adding to the list each time you forget something and eventually you'll never forget anything 👍

[@benbawden3348]

Eventually you have enough spare parts to build a new bike in the event of catastrophic failure 🤣🤣

[@jangoreo]

No, you end up in an RV full of dirtbike parts 😂

[@mikeking7388]

This channel has helped me keep my bike running strong for many hours now

[@tinymotogarage]

As I do with Jay's content, I made a list. This is NO USE without the video to understand it (so watch it if you didn't) - but is good to print and put on your wall/book etc. (at least that's what I do). 1. Air Filter 2. Oil 3. Coolant 4. Chain 5. Front Suspension Air Bleed/Pressure 6. Fuel 7. Tires 8. Control check 9. Brake Pads 10. Bolt Check 11. Spoke Check 12. Gear Bag

We love it!

[@kylevoss208]

You are the man!! Your tube videos are top notch man the way you explain stuff is easy for anyone to comprehend

[@JasonNaughton]

I like airing up my tires to 18-20 psi right before loading because it's usually in the morning when it's cooler. Then all I have to do when I get to the track and the bike is consistent to any change in temp, I then just let air out and it's golden.

[@brainstain22]

Awesome list

[@TheCarlejoseph]

So many great tips in this video. These are things that I have implemented over the years and has made a huge difference in minimizing problems on ride days.

[@pepebrown35]

perfect job!

[@hoosierdaddy2468]

Love the pointer

[@spencerclark2269]

Definitely going to be using these tips before I head out riding.

[@NickW90]

😂

[@rcraceworx]

Great list and insight! I’m slacking in the spoke department 😁

[@herdfreak2]

Thank you!

[@nastysoda9212]

I showed up missing my helmet once, and made sure it never happened again, it's a day ruiner for sure like you said.

[@dirtbiketv1]

Forgetting the helmet only has to happen once to never forget it again.

[@devodar2579]

Good reminder for everyone on the helmet issue. I use a gear bag and the helmet has to be there or the bag just I sent right! BRAAAP!!!

[@toddhickox4757]

Excellent !!

[@motoXmurph8]

when your front brake fluid boils over coming down a hill, is when you truly learn the importance of changing your brake fuild lol👊🤯🙏

[@B-Rad412]

The heck with checking the brake fluid how do you get them Dunlop stickers for the tires😅

[@billcag]

Can’t find the video on chain maintenance and lubing?

[@Eldonreid]

Must be great to have time to prepare lol love your videos but my ktm gets thrown in van stop for a large can of red bull for breakfast and smash some motos or an enduro trail whatever ghe riding is for the day any problems on track or trail is just a we surprised lol 😂

[@HP-hm3pn]

Any issues with the new KTM 4 stroke cam timing chain tensioners? Have a 23 450 SXF and recently saw there have been an issue on KTM's in the past. Thanks, Jay!

Do you use Shell Rotella for all of your bkes?

[@dirtbiketv1]

Yes

[@AGVenge]

What is 13 pressure in bars?

[@jaysutton6307]

Looking at spoke wrenches, how important is it to torque them using spoke torque (damn expensive) v using the normal (think that's about tight) non torque wrench. Couldn't tell what you used in the video?

[@dirtbiketv1]

Email Jay - contact info in About tab. Or link in Bio on Instagram.

[@mikebarnato7632]

Tire pressure😂

[@Factory928AC]

I just went on a ride and left my inner booty at home 🤭 for the 3rd time… AND MY LAST TIME! 😭😭😭

“You can lose 3-5 PSI a day if you dont use a high quality Dunlop tube”
