    I just bought a $10 spray can of filter cleaner. I can already tell it's not gonna last very long. I heard something about using gas to clean it.
    Is there something cheaper I can use, like a household product, to clean it before I oil it up?

    • @dirtniron
      @dirtniron  7 років тому

      you need to use solvent if you are using petroleum oil for the filter. Gas is not recommended, its too aggressive. Use some mineral spirits or kerosene. I like notoil products because they are the easiest to apply and to clean and not that expensive. Also notoil is non-petroleum product.

    Do you trail ride or just mx ?

    • @dirtniron
      @dirtniron  7 років тому +3

      +killerkork thanks bro! I do more trails actually. Probably 70/30 trails/MX. Love both, sometimes want to jump and rail some corners, sometimes want to get fresh air and natural terain of single track. How about you?

    • @killerkork
      @killerkork 7 років тому

      Yeah, I'd say I'm about the same, about 70/30 as well. The track can scare me somtimes, but then again so can the trails lol
      I watch alot of Vids from CROSS TRAINING ENDURO SKILLS, alot of great content on that channel and I can actually say I have applied much of what I've seen on there to my riding. Do you watch that channel?...if not, you should check it out...I'm sure you would like it.
      Oh and by the way, you asked how I liked my 2004 KX250 that I recently picked up. I got a few rides in on it now and I can say, I love it. It's got great power spread, feels pretty nimble with a somewhat grunty bottom end and comeing off a 125 it's like a torque rocket lol I've been hearing the 04 is a really good year and I would have to say, I agree. I'm pretty happy with it :) But a 2017 or possibaly 18 KTM 250 xc is really appealing...sorry for the rant lol

    • @dirtniron
      @dirtniron  7 років тому

      yes, I watch those videos all the time, I kinda like his humor and his riding tutorials are great, I am trying to apply it to my riding as well. He quit the job not long ago and now he does youtube and coaching for living. hmm.. not a bad idea ;)
      I bet that KX is great ride, my KTM is 2004 and I love it, torque is just enough, always there when you need it. how do you like it on the trails? I admit, my KTM is not made for trails, I am playing with settings, but the suspension is just not made for it, I am hesitant to send it out and spend $1000 for revalve etc. I will play bit more with what I have and work on my riding instead. Just as Barry form Crosstraining said, its 20% bike and 80% rider.

    • @killerkork
      @killerkork 7 років тому

      Yeah Barry seams like a really cool guy and does a awesome job at what he does, he's got a good thing going with the youtube and coaching thing...any time you can do what you love and get payed for it...your doin somthing right ;)
      The KX seams pretty good on the trails. I recently had my suspension done and it's now set up for my weight, feeling pretty good but still gotta play with the clickers and since I ride mostly trails I'm gonna trhow on a FMF gnarly pipe to give a little more bottom grunt. I haven't hade a chance to get on a track yet so can't comment on that. But yeah, it's definitely 20% bike and 80% rider but when you have the right bike it can make that 80% a heck of alot easier lol
      who's trying to charge you a grand for a suspension job...I just got mine rebuilt and revalved, front and rear for about $550

    • @dirtniron
      @dirtniron  7 років тому

      +killerkork I browsed few websites, like racetech or factory connection, by the time they replace bushings and seals, have new oil, valves springs, etc... It adds up to 700-800 depends on the brand and parts. Who did your suspension?

      you need to clean and oil your air filter frequently, otherwise your bike doesnt have enough air and the engine will get damaged by dirt particles that can pass through old/dirty filter. this is basic maintenance you have to do. check out this two videos to learn more:

      klx 110 seems like a good option. It has clutch less 3 speed transmission, you can learn basics on that bike, and later after season or two get maybe crf 150 or ttr 125.. try to check them out, sit on one if you can, its good to have first bike that fits you well, you should be able to touch the ground with both feet and feel that you have it under control,. if it falls down you should be able to pick it up, etc.. good luck Justin
