Dirt bike recommendations?

Works well! No probs with filters as yet.

Pretty much my routine. Squeeze it, don't wring it.

Oil: any large gas station.

Grease: Buy a grease gun and a cartridge of water resistant grease to suit from any engineering / mechanical supply shop.

Edit: Ask the shop to load the grease gun. Watch.

Serious? That's it, I'm selling the bike!

Really though I'm not going to go wees behind a tree and us girls need to use loo paper, gross but true. I better start doing some pelvic muscle exercises!

There is a dunny there. But once youve seen it trees will seem a better option. Mind you its better than the one at Thundercross Park.

You really think you will be road riding the next day?

Absolutely, unless I hurt myself. I'm stubborn like that. Will get a sweet sleep in on Sunday anyway.

You dont clean the filter while its on the bike, or while the bike is running, or while its on the running bike.
Just dont be dumb while having buckets of petrol lying around and you'll be fine.

You can use d - limonene based products to clean dirty filters if you really dont want to use petrol. Petrol is cheaper and easier to find though.

I use "no toil" filter oil.

get it from Cycle treads, use water to wash out.

Was just about to suggest that, its what I use as well. A few here have said they don't like it as they think it's not sticky enough but I was unfortunate enough to have a bottle tip over in the boot of my car and it took ages to get out and the tray has never really been the same since

I just think it is so easy to use, easy to put on, easy to clean and it is more than capable as after tussock Buster my air box(or what KTM thinks is an air box) was completely full of dust (open the cover and dirt fell out) and nothing had got through.

If you haven't learned to read around the OSH bullshit in every manual nowadays then this'll be your first lesson.

You can do that. I don't like the idea of using water soluble stuff in my filters. Maybe you don't ride when it's wet.

Requires a detergent additive to release the "oil" so no problem getting the filter wet, actually if I have wet the filter, the least of my worries is whether there is any filter oil left in it. I like No Toil as it's easy on me (no petrol) and the filter elements last longer (quite a few of them carry warnings about petrol breaking down the glue that holds the filter together).

Bosslady, enjoy The Sandpit, it's a great venue and lots of different trails, should keep you entertained for days! If you enjoy it, have a look at getting some training there from Tony (endless dirtbiking) you will learn a lot and it will make your transition to off road a lot easier.

You should watch the vid for no toil and I think you will be surprised.
As CM says it has an additive which you put into the water the cleans off the oil, until that time water don't do shit.

Thanks

I think I will have to save for some training now, this has all made me very poor LOL

I think I will wash my bike tonight after I go to cycletreads and get some air filter cleaning stuff and oil also have to go to the suzuki shop cause I got the wrong lightbulb, grr second time it's blown in almost as many months. Then take some pictures and put them in my album!
