Cave in your expansion pipe on day one. Then you never have to worry about it again.

This is such a refreshing video to see after watching hours of vids about all the things I need to change about my new $12k dirtbike.

Tires made a huge difference for me. I was almost ready to get rid of my 2019 WR250F or blow over $1k on suspension revalving because the stock, 3 year old tires (previous owner didn't put too many miles on it) were unbearable on rocks regardless of what I did with pressures or suspension clickers. Switching to new Michelin Starcross 5 tires with a much more flexible casing completely transformed the bike to feel amazing in rocks.

Part of my new regime now, take it straight out to the first overgrown lantana track and get some scratches on the
I feels horrible doing it, but then you can just ride and enjoy the bike and not worry about that first fall/crash /scratch 🙂👍

Those valve caps at 3:24 are genius. Never would have thought of looking for them if I hadn't seen them.

I believe Paul Rodden and Larry Murray said it best in 50 years of kicks: $300 of fuel through the engine will make you a much better rider.

Love the dry humor of commentator; good riding tips with some laughs.

It's super easy to spend a load of cash and make your bike hard to ride.. Keep your ergos close to stock..
Best mod of course is the eRag fender sticker. Increases your skill like 2.1%

Whenever I get a new to me bike, I reset the suspension clickers to standard settings. Even brand new, some dealers tend to set them to whatever.

It’s also very important to properly set your throttle and clutch cable play. If your throttle is too tight you can have the bike accelerate when you turn the handlebars. If your clutch is too tight it can not be disengaging fully and burn up very quickly.

This video is so right on and wish I had done this before I hurt myself on my Husky.

If I get a protector for my anodised fuel tank cap, will I be ready for erzberg?

Solid advice, I’m always a student even when I know everything! 😂 but I have plenty to learn here. Thanks.

Nice to know about twitchy throttles on EFI four strokes. Been off bikes for over 30 years so it's taking awhile to get used to that twitchiness. Thanks

Fantastic as always Barry. Don’t know if they make em for these new fangled bikes, but I love my Hyde pipe guard on my ‘06 300. It’s a relatively lightweight composite, but the big benefit is the guard is integrated into the skid plate that’s tied into the frame. Smash it up all day long and the seal into the cylinder head never moves. Also protects the toes a bit.

Tip for lighter clutch with cable. Drill a hole for the cable end closer to the pivot of the lever. It's free, easy and if you do it right, you might be able to go back to stock if wanted.

[randybounds]

Well said Barry. Would like to add, keep an eye on steering head and swing arm bearings, seems to be an oft neglected part of maint.

From what I know about the recluse, if you use the recluse as a crutch you will never gain more skills as a Rider. or it will just take you longer to gain those skills as a rider

[WildoRicci]

those kiss style moto boots are incredible
