Maintaining Motocross Bikes-Good care and regular servicing

Dirt bikes need to be thoroughly maintained. Any vehicle needs proper maintenance in order to function to the best of its abilities and motocross bikes require all year maintenance. Good care and regular servicing will ensure safety and longevity of the vehicles even outside of sporting seasons.

Here are some tips on maintaining your motocross bikes:

Wash them in and out of season: Many bikers do this only during the season. When your bike is being used less frequently, you need to keep the engine in check by making sure you start it up from time to time.

The air filters: Ensure the air filters are clean. Use petrol or filter solvent for cleaning. If you are unsure of what you are doing then enlist the help of an expert.

Lubrication: Make sure that all chains are lubricated, oil filters coated with filter oil and once cleaned a good silicon spray to protect from rusting is advised.

Overall upkeep: Ensure that all the nuts and bolts are tight. Check for damage and replace anything that is not at the highest standard.

Motocross bikes are difficult to maintain, but few simple cleaning methods will help you keep your bike in top performing condition. A good and healthy bike will bring great rewards so you have to be as passionate about it as you are for the race. It is not just a coincidence that all top motocross riders have the best turned out motocross bikes in the paddock. So after you ride your bike be prepared to spend the same amount of time maintaining it
