In this video I'm cleaning up my bike after a very muddy race in Meridian, MS on 2/12/23. You can watch my Race Recap video of that race here: • Race Recap | MMA Sprin...

Over the years I've found the sooner you wash the dirt off the better, prevents staining and compounds in dirt time to attach to surfaces.

I have never thought of using roundup to kill the weeds on my bike. That’s an excellent idea. :-). I clean my bike after every ride, but I don’t do near as good of a job as you do. Great video.

@DirtBikingwithDonnie Жыл бұрын

Lol, yeah those weeds don’t stand a chance!

I agree knowing how to use a pressure washer is key. One thing I did notice is that you are spraying right into the fork seals which you probably should avoid. Certainly the rest of the bike will be more water resistant but the fork seals are only rubber

Looks good Donnie! I made a time-lapse of our cleanup from Meridian. You made it look much easier than we did lol.

Have you tried Total Wash off-road?

I'd skip using a skid plate in the Southeast. I imagine you don't have many rocks unless you are in the mountains.

Hi Donnie, I bought a 23 YZ250FX (mainly due to watching your videos). What wash plug do you use? I’m looking to buy one but want to make sure it works with the NoToil air flow kit.

@DirtBikingwithDonnie Жыл бұрын

Congrats on the new bike! I use the No toil wash kit that is made to work with the No toil super flo kit. The part number is WK180-53. Here is a link to it on Amazon. amzn.to/45wXyHg

5:55 noticed your running the anti-gravity battery. Which cell size did you get? and did you notice a difference in start up times?

@DirtBikingwithDonnie 8 ай бұрын

I’m using the 8 cell (AG-801). It’s a big improvement over stock. Increasing the idle to 2500 also helps with starting. If you’re racing and wanting better dead starts replacing the stock clutch is a must. The stock clutch has a lot of drag when starting in gear.

@wheressu 8 ай бұрын

@@DirtBikingwithDonnie Thank you for confirming I wasn’t the only one with a very draggy clutch when starting in gear I thought I was the only one. Must be a YZ thing or something. Thanks so much!

@DirtBikingwithDonnie 8 ай бұрын

@@wheressu Yes, it’s a common problem. The Yamaha clutch baskets wear very quickly.

Would it be a good idea to take off the seat and plastics and clean all under there because there is always a ton of dirt that builds up there that you can't get off just washing it normally

@timdrazba9489 Жыл бұрын

Another Great video! Can you send me the dimensions of the pvc boot rack for washing? Brilliant idea.

@DirtBikingwithDonnie Жыл бұрын

Thanks Tim. The base is 22 inches wide by 15 inches. The legs are 21 inches tall and 4.5 inches wide. I used 1 inch PVC because I had it laying around but 3/4 would work too.

Donnie I dont think I completely understand your method so how about demonstrating it on my bike🤣

Do you think that if I used 3/4" PVC it would work for the boot holder?

I think it would.

Can I power wash my bike without the air filter cover ?

@DirtBikingwithDonnie Жыл бұрын

Yes, remove the filter, cover the filter with a plastic bag like a grocery bag, then reinstall the filter with the bag over it. When you’re done washing don’t forget to remove the plastic bag.

@Mostviews111 Жыл бұрын

Do you spray anything on the plastics to help cleaning it next time.

@DirtBikingwithDonnie Жыл бұрын

If I’m going to a muddy race I’ll spray Maxima SC1 under the fenders, on the skid plate and around the engine where mud usually builds up. It seems to dry a bit over time so I don’t put it on until the day of the ride or race.

Hey, where’d you get your Dunlop tire stickers from? If you don’t mind me asking

@DirtBikingwithDonnie Жыл бұрын

I get my tires directly from Dunlop through a discount deal with Hookit.com. Occasionally they run specials where they send you the stickers if your order a certain number of tires, etc. Hookit is a good way to get discounts/sponsorships from various manufacturers.
