For the price of these new bikes, The dealer should take care of all the greaseing and set up.

The dirt on your track looks like chocolate cake!!

Rado - For the life of me I don't understand why bike manufacturers don't put zerks in the linkage to use a grease gun or rifle bore the bolts so they are hollow with grease distribution holes and a zerk on the end.........Husqvarna did that years ago with no problems. They may say it will weaken the bolt but I do not believe that is the case.........I've broken frames but I've NEVER broken any linkage that was set up like that. I've used a lathe to set up Japanese bikes like that without any problems. Thanks, Tom P.S. They must save a whole damn nickel on each unit by not greasing.

So nice of him to give you his support and to be able to work in his awesome garage is way too cool. What a friend!!! Wow, I just noticed that YT has not been sending me notifications of his channel, I'm gonna try re subing and see if that works.

Yes, it is true that some of the manufactures don't lube the linkage/steering stem bearing very well, and they should be checked. But the first 2 things you need to check IMO is the engine oil level,---and make sure the air filter is oiled. I rode my brand new 1988 Honda CR250 for a week, partly in the sand, assuming my air filter was oiled, it was not. I went to clean it, and with a quick swipe of my finger in the air box boot to the carb, I excavated a finger full of sand mixed with premix oil. I cleaned it out, and rode it for the summer. Luckily, that was the first year with the cylinder "Nikasil" coating, (that all coatings are compared to.). The piston was all scratched up, but the hard cylinder plating was fine.

Good advice 👍

Great video Rado...glad your back riding again...100% agree about going through and greasing all the bearings...the manufacturers tend to not put any on them recently. 😮

Just bought a ‘93 KDX200 in November. Linkage bearings were pulverized into a rusty powder. Replaced everything. Like New!!

Fire vid dude 🔥

Good to know I change the oil and grease my chain but I've never greased anything else for the past two years I think I better get on it and check it

Team Green ALWAYS!

whens the next yz125 update?

My cr250s really fast but it shakes real bad no idea why it's so fast. 96 all original.

Should of got the 23 YZ250F

Hi I am looking for a bike i'm a beginner and i'm 14 I have already ridding a 250 2 stroke any suggestions.

It’s embarrassing how little lubrication is in these bikes. I did my 22 kx a couple months back. They were “oiled” at best.

Good job daddy!
