I agree knowing how to use a pressure washer is key. One thing I did notice is that you are spraying right into the fork seals which you probably should avoid. Certainly the rest of the bike will be more water resistant but the fork seals are only rubber
I have never thought of using roundup to kill the weeds on my bike. That’s an excellent idea. :-). I clean my bike after every ride, but I don’t do near as good of a job as you do. Great video.
I’m using the 8 cell (AG-801). It’s a big improvement over stock. Increasing the idle to 2500 also helps with starting. If you’re racing and wanting better dead starts replacing the stock clutch is a must. The stock clutch has a lot of drag when starting in gear.
@@DirtBikingwithDonnie Thank you for confirming I wasn’t the only one with a very draggy clutch when starting in gear I thought I was the only one. Must be a YZ thing or something. Thanks so much!
Hi Donnie, I bought a 23 YZ250FX (mainly due to watching your videos). What wash plug do you use? I’m looking to buy one but want to make sure it works with the NoToil air flow kit.
Congrats on the new bike! I use the No toil wash kit that is made to work with the No toil super flo kit. The part number is WK180-53. Here is a link to it on Amazon. amzn.to/45wXyHg
Thanks Tim. The base is 22 inches wide by 15 inches. The legs are 21 inches tall and 4.5 inches wide. I used 1 inch PVC because I had it laying around but 3/4 would work too.
If I’m going to a muddy race I’ll spray Maxima SC1 under the fenders, on the skid plate and around the engine where mud usually builds up. It seems to dry a bit over time so I don’t put it on until the day of the ride or race.
I get my tires directly from Dunlop through a discount deal with Hookit.com. Occasionally they run specials where they send you the stickers if your order a certain number of tires, etc. Hookit is a good way to get discounts/sponsorships from various manufacturers.
Yes, remove the filter, cover the filter with a plastic bag like a grocery bag, then reinstall the filter with the bag over it. When you’re done washing don’t forget to remove the plastic bag.

There’s nothing more therapeutic than cleaning your bike. Beautiful looking bike!
Thank you!
Love the boot stand… awesome idea!

Over the years I've found the sooner you wash the dirt off the better, prevents staining and compounds in dirt time to attach to surfaces.
Definitely!
Looks good Donnie! I made a time-lapse of our cleanup from Meridian. You made it look much easier than we did lol.
Sand and mud mixed equals concrete, lol.

Lol, yeah those weeds don’t stand a chance!
Man you make my cleanup process look lazy and sloppy. 🤣 Good stuff dude.
Your bike always looks pretty clean in your vids!
5:55 noticed your running the anti-gravity battery. Which cell size did you get? and did you notice a difference in start up times?

@@wheressu Yes, it’s a common problem. The Yamaha clutch baskets wear very quickly.
Cool video!
Have you tried Total Wash off-road?
That's a nice bike bro
Love your bike ! easier to get to the air cleaner than the silly design on my CRF450RX !😂

I'd skip using a skid plate in the Southeast. I imagine you don't have many rocks unless you are in the mountains.
Nice
Thanks for watching!
Another Great video! Can you send me the dimensions of the pvc boot rack for washing? Brilliant idea.
Thanks Tim. The base is 22 inches wide by 15 inches. The legs are 21 inches tall and 4.5 inches wide. I used 1 inch PVC because I had it laying around but 3/4 would work too.
My biggest problem is cleaning chain lube from rear rim and frame
@zerone9521 you might know that already but lube ur chain atleast 1 day before riding.✌
we use Lucas Chain lube and it doesn’t fling around or anything, it’s our go to lube
Do you think that if I used 3/4" PVC it would work for the boot holder?
I think it would.
what kickstand are you using?
Is the wash plug needed for the airfilter
Now come clean mine!
If you bring it down to Bama I’ll do it!
I’ll do it pay me $25
hey i’m about to clean mine up. do you have to cover the carburetor or anything other than the exhaust?
Do you spray anything on the plastics to help cleaning it next time.
If I’m going to a muddy race I’ll spray Maxima SC1 under the fenders, on the skid plate and around the engine where mud usually builds up. It seems to dry a bit over time so I don’t put it on until the day of the ride or race.
Hey, where’d you get your Dunlop tire stickers from? If you don’t mind me asking
I get my tires directly from Dunlop through a discount deal with Hookit.com. Occasionally they run specials where they send you the stickers if your order a certain number of tires, etc. Hookit is a good way to get discounts/sponsorships from various manufacturers.
@@DirtBikingwithDonnie thank you👍🏾
Can I power wash my bike without the air filter cover ?
Yes, remove the filter, cover the filter with a plastic bag like a grocery bag, then reinstall the filter with the bag over it. When you’re done washing don’t forget to remove the plastic bag.
Maybe another mud run this weekend
Very likely!
name your oil pls
Donnie I dont think I completely understand your method so how about demonstrating it on my bike🤣
😂 Bring it on up here!
If it has a tip sensor need to avoid it $148 for a kawasaki
Tip sensor for the YZ is internal to the ECU, luckily.
You didn't even have to use a brush.
Thanks for watching!
I was thinking the same exact thing!
