Here we have 45 dirt bike tips, trick, and hacks that will save you money, time, and headaches. What more could you want? Obviously this list is not ALL of the hacks that exist. It’s the just the ones that popped into my head and I wrote down on my while board while I was brainstorming in my dirt bike shop a few days ago. These are all things that I use to make my life easier as it relates to riding and working on bikes. Of course, I know there are many more, so maybe we'll make a follow up video later. I just had to stop somewhere. I've got some little bonus ones in there too. Enjoy!
Let me know what some of your favorite tips and tricks are down in the comments.

That WD-40 is NOT a chain lube, it’s a all in one spray. So it also does DEgreas your chain.

@GasGrassOrAssetto 4 жыл бұрын

Fortnine has two good videos on chain lubes and cleaners. Recommends using simple green and a light (20w-50 IIRC) gear oil for cleaning then lubing. Simple green cleans without penetrating the seals that trap grease on the bushings, and gear oil penetrates and protects from rust well, however it picks up more contaminants during a ride than a PTFE dry lube.

@paxtonsnjones27 2 жыл бұрын

Extra tips for you to add since this epic video can only get better. Sorry if you know these already. 1. When pulling a broken down bike with another other bike wrap the strap around the handle bars and instead of tying a knot hold the end on the grip...release your hand and the wrap unwinds nicely and safely. 2. Putting some air in a tube before mounting the tire does wonders for not pinching tubes. 3. Short people have a tougher time lifting a bike onto a stand...they want to lean the bike farther over before lifting and use the thigh of one of their legs to help lift. 3. The most popular tires are worthless in soft dirt...can't make a hill climb and get a IRC MB5...rides well on trails and will amaze everyone on the climbs and doesn't wear quickly. 4. You probably know now but hoses exist to screw into oil plug for quick draining. 5. When mounting a rear tire sit on the ground straddling the swing arms from the rear. Your legs work miracles for holding up the wheel while you finagle it on hoping the spacers won't pop out. 6. Tusk makes spacers that are smooth and don't pop off easily when mounting the year tire. 7. Cushion seats are amazing now...some performance lost but great on trail breaking bumps. 8. High compression radiator caps for technical slow riding. 9. Don't forget to turn bike on after filling full of oil because oil filter takes up a lot of oil and you will need to add more. 10. Make sure electrical components like starter relay aren't jiggling around because electrical parts don't like such things. I replaced my battery with an oversized one and therefore relay needed taping down after I realized the seat wasn't holding everything in place. Got to go, but hope that helps you add content. I have many more weird tips if you want...just ask.

Swing arm covers damage your finish more than they save. Remove and clean under them often or just put decals on. Make sure to ride your brakes and glaze the pads up good so they don't work good. Several aggressive stops letting them cool in-between is the correct way. Oh, use chain lube. Otherwise, do what he said.

Tying your dirt bike down that way is absolutely the best. I can't believe for 35 years or so I've always cranked the front forks down, which is not the best thing for the seals especially over an extended length of time. 👍 Plus the bike is more stable and secure. I go fast with my bike in back and now I don't worry at all about it tipping over.
