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

[dougdavis]

I am a 67 year old and been riding and tuning dirt bikes my whole life. This is the most useful information in one video I have ever seen regarding proper care, maintenance and tuning of your dirtbike. He covers a wide range of years and wide range of fuel delivery systems. Excellent, valuable, usable information.👏👍

[floyduthe]

Been Racing & Riding in the dirt for 51 years and I'm not ashamed to say that I learned some things from this video. This is one of the most useful informative videos I've seen on the internet. There isn't 1 of the 125 items that couldn't be useful to someone. Great job. My helmet is off to you sir.

[ronanrogers]

I’ve been riding 42 years and do all my maintenance and rebuilds…but I learned a few things here, thank you!

[markhingst]

As a 45 year old rider just getting back in ridng dirt there was a tonne of great bits of information for me.

[jamesbeck]

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

[andrewberg]

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 .

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

[AEXRT]

Man I am 50years old and I’m riding dirt bikes for 30 years. Your video reminds me my life🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏👍👍👍

[davelambardo]

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!

This is KILLER ! Love tips like these. So FAST!! I don’t have to watch four minutes of talking for two tips like other DB u tubers…

Oil on chain. So helpful to have HIGHLY EXPERIENCED people like you tell us what works best. IT’S NOT ALWAYS A PRODUCT ! YES ! You are honest. You support good products in a spectacular way by framing them in a product spotlight and then move on. I’m not saying that other DB u tubers are evil or only in it for ad revenue because all they pitch is new tools, products. They’re perfectly nice guys who love to ride just like we do. But so many tools, products are unnecessary. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. As long as you keep making videos I’m here for it.

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.

[Oregontripper]

With my short attention span I had to stop and rewind (old guy talk) to repeat since there's so much great information! Learning from guys with decades of experience, no nonsense tips, is invaluable! Right-on!

[dave-d]

Pure gold. All bikers should watch this, not just off-roaders. Thanks for your time and experience.

[Rover]

Honestly I have been riding for my whole life. This was worth my time. Thank you for sharing !!!

[savagebolt]

At the 30 second mark, I knew you know your stuff. I've been riding over 55 years and this vid is getting shared with all my buds & family that ride. And not just MX'ers & trail riders. Lot's of good stuff here!
And thanks for not ruining the vid with crappy background music while you're talking!!!!

[quentinruggles]

Been a motorcycle mechanic for about 18-20 years depending. These are all great tips. Don't use 100% of them but I should. Lol. That being said I have all of these in my brain tool box. I need to share this

[gorongo]

This is a Must Watch for any rider, especially the DS newbies. Thanks for simple explanations of tips AND the reasons why. Happy riding!

[BrothersExtreme]

So much good stuff in one video.
Thanks Jay!

36:32 Great tips! I was convinced I need new bearings front and rear until I took off the front wheel, cleaned it up and noticed the spacers have slop with the axle.
I learned that this is normal until the wheel is installed correctly. The previous owner hadn't tightened the front and rear to the proper torques. I didn't need bearings once I did it right.
