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!!!

Metro illz fortnite sucks
Metro illz lol
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.
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! 😎
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
Been riding for 35 years and still learned some tricks, thank's man!
Perfect pace for this kind of video! Well done. I watched to the end and didn't skip ahead or sigh once. :) Thanks Kyle.
Love the energy of this video! Makes it feel like I learned a whole lot in like 4 or 5 minutes.
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.
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
Loving the outtakes at the end :) thumbs up. Watching from the UK.
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!
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 RUclips content on it next week. Posted on IG and FB yesterday on the bike
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.
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.
I love the bloopers! Great video and better info, I was surprised at all the tips I didn't know!
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 :)
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.
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!
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
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!
great tips!! I have been riding trails, motocross, supermoto, supermoto stunt and learned some good stuff from this video, thanks!
Damn that was a lot of information coming at me very fast,think I got some stuff locked down. Good job man!
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"
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
All good tips , as soon as the snow melts I will be working on these skills . Thanks
Great hacks video! Thank you for all these pointers. They are very helpful.
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.
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.
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.
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
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😆
Thanks for taking the time to put this together.
Thanks this is one of the shortest yet useful information dense videos I've seen
Loving the struggle is real part! Keep it up😊
These videos are actually brilliant👍
Thank you for this list. Good video.
Thank you for putting this together, very helpful!
beyond exc video. keep them coming thanks DBC
Great vid.... I got a couple of good tips and Ive been on dirt bikes for 33 years
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.
Need this in a pdf document! Great vid
This is awesome! Thank you so much. I didn’t anticipate so many of these to be so relevant and helpful.
Thanks Kyle, you rock!
The bloopers at the end explain how difficult it really is to make videos like this. Good job man, keep up the great work!
Good information, Thanks to take your time to make it, i know is gonna help many people like it does with me...
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.
Yeah I like watching these type of videos. You always learn something new. Thanks
Just took the MSF Dirt Bike School course. And with your hacks, I'm really ready to get out there!
Thanks for the video! Keep em coming!
Best tip video of all time! No joke. Thank you
That’s awesome as a lotta good tips. Thanks.
Lots of great tips! Will have to save this one for future reference!
That’s awesome. Thanks so much. Super helpful and quick to the point!
Great video helpful tips. Loved the bloopers at the end!
Some of these are really amazing for a beginnner. Great video.
What a great informational video, Thank you!
great tips keep em comin
Such an informative video and such good video quality...I hope to get to a level that is half as good on video .
Haha, love the blooper reel at the end! Thanks for sharing!
Great video!! super helpful and quick.
Nailed it man. Great job 👍
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
Love the tie off tip!
Awesome video! sound effects is hilarious.
Just when I thought I knew everything! Thanks so much.
Ok you could of told me about threading the spring onto the throttle cable BEFORE I spent countless hours adjusting jets. But in all seriousness awesome tips! Love your videos 😁
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.
Really liked the handle on the seat idea
Great stuff. I learned a few new ones!
Just got myself a 2020 yz250fx.. my last bike was a 2017 yz450f and it was great in open terrain but like fighting a bear in tight stuff. Look forward to the review on that I have about a month of snow melting before I can ride. Always had big bore bikes and this channel is why I dropped down to a 250f.. I'm no travis pastrana lol
A massive respect for showing the mess up's at the end your a dude 👍
Great video and fun to see the blooper at the end!
They are some cool tips! thanks.
Nice video...very informative!
Thanks for your video! Great tips!
The struggle IS real brother! Those are fantastic tips! Subbed and saved this vid to my maintenance playlist!
OMG THE 3RD ONE I LOVE IT THANK YOU SO MUCH
love the out takes!!
Love the bloopers! We’re so human!
Hahahaha! Loved the bloopers at the end. Keepin' it real. Awesome.
@Telegram me @👉Dirtbikechannel I don't have Telegram.
I just ordered one of those drifters products flexible funnels. Those look super useful to drain coolant on my 250x without having to take off my skid plate. Thanks for showing that Kyle.
You are welcome

Subscribed!
Great tips! Some I knew and forgot about and some I never heard of. Just remember Kyle, there's always going to be jealousy out there, especially the more subscribers you get!
The end of the video is magic. Just when we thought you were a robot the truth comes out! Either that or your firmware needs updated :) It reminds me of every instructional video I've started but never followed through with.
Great tips thanks 👌👍
Loved the bloopers too 😅👍
thanks
A tip about brakes after a wheel/ tire change. Your brakes will be VERY weak for the first few times you hit them. Sort of like bedding in the new brakes
