There are a million things to worry about on a dirt bike. It’ll drive you crazy. But if you take care of the basics, you can save yourself a lot of time and money. But it takes some discipline. We are not ‘race every weekend’ riders, but we do ride 2-4 times per month, for a good 4 hours each time. Here is what we do. This first post will cover oil.
I am a serious “change your oil” person, with all my vehicles. I figure it this way: Oil is about $5 per quart, an engine rebuild is $1500 or more. Enough said. When it comes to our bikes, I have two rules:
- Change the oil every ride.
- Use motorcycle oil.
