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.

I will probably remember none of these, but every single one I was thinking..."Yeah I gotta do that...Ohh another one!"
I was thinking oh I need a bike😆
Same!!!
Same
Metro illz fortnite sucks
Metro illz lol
There was a big whole in the back of my bike that puffed air out, so i silicone it all up.
like the exhaust? ahhaha
chihuahua verde yeah it was a joke
I must not be letting mine cure up good enough cuz as soon as I start it, it blows out. And mines a 2 stroke so it’s really oily
@@JohnSmith-ws6jg use flex seal and directly pour 2 hole containers into the hole. Then the hole should stop leaking and spitting out fumes.
Nick the lick got it! Thank you for the help! 😎
I noticed that this video already has dislikes before it's even live. That makes me smile. You've got to admit that is pretty funny.
Dirt Bike Channel that’s probably because those premiere things are enjoying. You think the video is already online so you click on it but it is just a premiere thing. Those people who disliked were probably just annoyed because they couldn’t watch te video.
@@kjv9890 i see no dislikes here
Maybe its Jeff Slaven, the know it all guy. lol
@@stfuliberal He does know a lot.. Blokes like you, know nothing and bag others @@
Effing trolls. I wish we could track em down and make em public.
That WD-40 is NOT a chain lube, it’s a all in one spray. So it also does DEgreas your chain.
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.
Man I just treat my chain like it owes me money and I get to go to dinner early not screwing around with cleaning it
@@PapaWheelie1 mannn thats a whole mood!!
Yeah WD40 washes away the lube, dries out, and leaves a sticky layer that collects abrasive dirt and sand.
Stephan Moore II - Lol chains are cheap. Time isn’t
Even if you have a ton of experience, its always good to watch these types of videos to pickup new tricks or just remember old ones you forgot about. 👍 lol love the outtakes
Been riding for 35 years and still learned some tricks, thank's man!
Love the energy of this video! Makes it feel like I learned a whole lot in like 4 or 5 minutes.
Perfect pace for this kind of video! Well done. I watched to the end and didn't skip ahead or sigh once. :) Thanks Kyle.
Kyle, I stumbled upon your channel a few months ago and I have to say "Thank You!"
I have become a #1 FAN. Thank you for the awesome tips and your videos.
You just got a new patron. As a new rider I cant thank you enough for all of your content! The unknown is becoming less scary.
I am categorizing this one as the SUPER-VID, the mother of all dirt bike hack videos. Thank you, Kyle, extremely well done!
Loving the outtakes at the end :) thumbs up. Watching from the UK.
Awesome again! Should do a fast pace riding tips and tricks one of these days. Something we can watch right before we go riding to remind us of all the stuff to think about to make us a little better that day. Thanks again Kyle for kicking ass.
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.
Yeah I like watching these type of videos. You always learn something new. Thanks
This is awesome! Thank you so much. I didn’t anticipate so many of these to be so relevant and helpful.
I love the bloopers! Great video and better info, I was surprised at all the tips I didn't know!
I always love your videos. It’s was another good one. Thanks man!
I appreciate all that you do for us dirt bike lovers, good video
All good tips , as soon as the snow melts I will be working on these skills . Thanks
Kyle, Your tip (#34) to install the carb slide spring is brilliant! Some of the smaller carbs are a real pain and this was an excellent tip that I'll use sometime in the future.
Thanks for taking the time to put this together.
Thank you for putting this together, very helpful!
Kyle, your vids are not only informative but also funny. I appreciate you showing the bloopers, they were very funny. Pls show more of them on each video
they are a lot of work, and usually I'm just ready to be done :)
Love the videos you put up on maintanance and tricks like these! Already subscribed! I’m new to the enduro lifestyle and already learned so much to do on my own. Spares me a lot of unnecessary expenses at the repair shop. - keep up the good work! Greetings from Germany
great tips!! I have been riding trails, motocross, supermoto, supermoto stunt and learned some good stuff from this video, thanks!
Thanks this is one of the shortest yet useful information dense videos I've seen
Great vid! I miss Will’s coaching! He is a lot of fun and amazing to watch hitting the table-tops in a CRF125F! Hope to see you guys soon, and love the merchandise!
Love all the tips.. I'll have to bookmark this for sure as I'll never remember them all. Bloopers were great as well. Glad its not just me that has to record things a few times.
Dude! That is LOTS of wisdom! I've been wrenching for 30 yrs and just picked up a few more tips! So I thank you, and I urge people to SUBSCRIBE to what homeboy is spit'n. I'm keeping this one for a check list.
That’s awesome. Thanks so much. Super helpful and quick to the point!
Awesome fast pace. How long until we hear the review and update about the Yamaha? I know a lot of us are surprised to see it. Love it keep em coming!!
I'll have some CZcams content on it next week. Posted on IG and FB yesterday on the bike
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.
Great hacks video! Thank you for all these pointers. They are very helpful.
This is an awesome video, everyone has different tips they’ve picked up over years of trial & error so to cram this many into a 15min video is 👍 Thanks man
Another thing to add, especially for new riders, is that an owners manual and service manual are two different things. And that service manuals have everything you need to know.
Best tip video of all time! No joke. Thank you
beyond exc video. keep them coming thanks DBC
Thanks Kyle, you rock!
Thanks for the video! Keep em coming!
The bloopers at the end explain how difficult it really is to make videos like this. Good job man, keep up the great work!
Lots of great tips! Will have to save this one for future reference!
These videos are actually brilliant👍
Loving the struggle is real part! Keep it up😊
Thank you for this list. Good video.
Great video helpful tips. Loved the bloopers at the end!
Damn that was a lot of information coming at me very fast,think I got some stuff locked down. Good job man!
Need this in a pdf document! Great vid
What a great informational video, Thank you!
Great video!! super helpful and quick.
Just when I thought I knew everything! Thanks so much.
Really liked the handle on the seat idea
0:40 I could've used that a few months ago when my used to be friend slid and landed on the clutch and it broke. That wasn't a very good night because we eventually got into a fight because of reasons not related to the bike breaking. Great video!
Some of these are really amazing for a beginnner. Great video.
Some good Tips, THX for that! One thing to complain: please don't use Baby Powder to prevent Snake bites, take Talkum powder! And Grease is no good, because it will dry out soon or, for the worst, it may damage the Rubber of the tube. After all, I use only Mousse and the troubles are totally gone.
Greets
Haha, love the blooper reel at the end! Thanks for sharing!
That’s awesome as a lotta good tips. Thanks.
Great tips. Lots of "why didn't I think of that" stuff.
A favorite thing I do is use an electric leaf blower to dry out the nooks and crannies after washing. Then hit it with the SC1 as Kyle mentioned.
OMG THE 3RD ONE I LOVE IT THANK YOU SO MUCH
Nailed it man. Great job 👍
Just took the MSF Dirt Bike School course. And with your hacks, I'm really ready to get out there!
A massive respect for showing the mess up's at the end your a dude 👍
Love the tie off tip!
Like the outtakes at the end , that’s me alright many takes 😂 Some nice bits like the stainless swing arm guard fasteners 🤔 Have you seen my 300 build😬👍🏻
"ride it around the bruh"
Good information, Thanks to take your time to make it, i know is gonna help many people like it does with me...
Lots of good tips that I didn't know thank you
Happy to see you got a 2020 YZ250FX! I can’t wait to see some videos on this bike, after years of being away from riding I just bought a new 20 FX. I’m in Indiana and won’t be able to ride it for a couple more months so I can at least see you ride it😆
I’ve been watching your channel for a while now but haven’t subscribed until just now. Those outtakes had me cracking up! Lol
I do the same thing trying to explain things on camera. It can be frustrating but hilarious during the editing process. Haha
The struggle IS real brother! Those are fantastic tips! Subbed and saved this vid to my maintenance playlist!
Thanks for your video! Great tips!
Great vid.... I got a couple of good tips and Ive been on dirt bikes for 33 years
Great stuff. I learned a few new ones!
They are some cool tips! thanks.
Great video and fun to see the blooper at the end!
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.
Love the bloopers! We’re so human!
Thanks for all the tips
Awesome video! sound effects is hilarious.
Awesome video thx for posting 👍👍
Great tips video! One more tip iv'e heard is to hit the spokes inside the hub to make sure they set alot better when they are new
Because they usally have some edges that catches the sides and when you hit the spokes they set down alot more in the rim.
Carb spring tip. Priceless 👍
Good stuff am liking this channel more and more
love the out takes!!
Sub'd. Great ideas ! Knew some, some not. Good stuff, always enjoy your efforts.
Great tips and loved the bloopers!
Holy shit dude
This is just an incredibly simple video chalk full of solid knowledge nuggets
Subscribed!
Thank you so much especially for lifehack spring for carburetor !!!!! Respect from Russia.
Wow Kyle thats a video every dirt bike owner should watch
Thank you for this!
Such an informative video and such good video quality...I hope to get to a level that is half as good on video .
Honda pro chain lube with moly. Best stuff I’ve ever used.
Really great tips! Thx.
Great tips great video thanks for sharing subbed.
the grab strap is my fav, bikes USED to have a frame loop at the back to grab, now all you have is plastic fender. Going to make a strap that uses the seat mount bolts for mine, that is a great idea.
agree. the struggle is real. Great content
Great video, thanks!
Man were those bloopers ever funny😆 shows how much time is put into these videos
Nice video...very informative!
That new Yamaha 250 is looking nice, hope to see some videos of the beast soon :D
Soon. I posted in IG about it yesterday.
Thanks for the tips
