Very good info here. Also when it’s affordable and convenient, always pick the motorcycle specific brands for your oils and chemicals. These are the same companies that give back to the moto community by sponsoring riders, races events etc. Good video thanks for sharing! 👍
Great video! I have found that I can sneak alot of these items onto my wife's grocery pickup to keep my garage supplys stocked. And the best part is it comes out of the grocery budget 🤣
I like these type of videos. You have hit on a very good topic. I don't know if you have done this video already. How about shop tools? Beside the basics of rratchets and wrenches.
Mostly there I think - few different brands but closer than I thought to the pro's bench. Now, if only I can figure out how and when to use it 😀Thanks for the video.
I have been using Rotella oil for 20 years on all my street and dirt bikes and have never had any oil related failures. It's way cheaper than the motorcycle specific brand oils.
1st shop I have seen not mention using environmentally safe Simple Green. It is safe for O-rings, great for cleaning brake dust off of sportbike brake calipers,.. degreasing, cleaning drive chains before re-lubing,... I like using it diluted with water per instructions.
All zip ties are reusable. But depending on the use they can be ackward to pull the zip tie's end & push the little tab away from contacting the tie length. Been re-using over 50% of ties for decades.
So I just picked up a 2014 KX85 my question is can i switch to using pump gas 93. The person that I got it off of raced on the track . no reeds or work done to the motor just pro circuit pipe and shorty 304 . very clran bike . but my question is can I run the same thing that I ran in my Honda CR85 if I use the red motul 800 with belray 80wt . any info ?
I've watched you make a couple of these videos over the years, with your vast experience I can't believe I've never seen Simple Green on your recommendations? Doesn't cause whiting of special coatings, strong yet non corrosive. Hands down best detergent easily found and bulk quantities are available. 001 Steel wool, when red/gray scotch brite is too abrasive and you want to polish the surface (rims/spoke/exhaust) I'd also love to see a proper application of chain wax by ANYONE on the internet. Warm your chain up then use chain wax being cold from the can will get sucked inside those hard to reach areas. Anyone who recommends WD40 for anything but cleaning doesn't understand how hydrostatic WD40 actually is. Spray some nails with WD40, let dry then put them in water and drain. They'll rust almost instantly. Stop using WD40 on your bikes guys.

Bel Ray Waterproof Grease! Midwest riders love it, it’s great for all types of seasonal riding. I keep an abundance stocked in my Parts Department. 🤙
I have used that grease for 40 years. Not only on motorcycles.
Only stuff I've used my entire life living in Michigan!!
I have a lot of the same stuff. Can’t live without some of those.

Jay also look into reusable zip ties they look a lot like factory hardware and work great to hold things and reusability makes them last forever 👍🏻

Hi Jay, how much is shelf life of 2 stroke oil? I found 5 liters completely unopened in the garage, but it must be 10 years old. Thanks in advance

since it's millions of years old it will be ok. I used old bottles of Castrol R 30 no problems.
