ok cool thanks
@17landen
what it usually does is breaks down the glue between the filter and the foam/rubber sealing ring. If the sealing ring even seems like it’s starting to seperate from the filter, replace it. It might be okay if you did it only once.
hei dude i have a question
is it ok if i wash it with paint thienner and then wash it with water soap and desengrasant and leave it sun dry???
i got a 2005 drz125, and im doing the same thing
someone told me, if i dont let it dry all the way.. the engine will suck the water into it
Nice RM bro
Hey what do you do when it says not to use gas to clean your air filter and you just did? I didnt ride it but i need to know if i should just buy a new air filter? my bike is a 2004 crf250r
nope, if you watch carefully he massages the oil through untill you can see it on the inside.
when you put the oil on the filter, do you put it on the inside of the filter too?
What do you use as a degrader? Do i have to buy it or can i mix household item? lmao
i would take it in to a shop and get you vavles looked at. they are prob old and need to be changed at shimed
good vid
do you have the choke pulled up?
i think you need to clean the air filter and also possibly take your carb off and clean it with CARB AND CHOKE cleaner, THAT STUFF WORKS! and then make sure you shoot compressed air through the holes (jets) and everywhere to see if you have blockage, re assemble and hopefully it will work/ tell me how it goes. good luck
thanks a lot
every 3 to 4 rides depending on hoe hard you ride
make sure your spark plug number is correct and you may even want to start running a hotter plug, also clean your air filter every 2 to 3 rides depending on how hard/ dirty you ride. normal maintenance can get that bike running properly in no time
if my bike dosent kick start could it be due to the air filter and spark plug, it is a crf250r 06, at the moment it will not star properly , it takes around 7 mins of kicking it and then eventualy it dose start no matter if it is hot or cold. at the moment i just bump start it and it starts first time, it runs well when it is on but can not idel very well unless it is very warm.
what is my problem
Please may somone help
can you use regular dish washing soap like dawn or something like that?
proper air filter cleaning is one of the most important things for an engine, especially one that lives off road in dirt dust and mud.
let it go too long and then you’ll soon see the reasons why it is a very important part of cleaning.
intake baffle. so i dont know what to do. in my mind the exhaust baffle out wont ruin the engine becaus the only thing it does is reducing the sound and arresting spark. but that in my mind lol… so plz tell me what to do. i would prefer that ppl telling me what to do know what they r talking about. THX ALL good riding
ok can someone help me plz. i have an 07 ttr230 and it sound very gay. i wanted to make it louder because i live in an isolated place and the neigbord( voisins in french) have race quad and dirtbike too. so i put out the exhaust bafle( the black thing) in the muffler. it was sounding very good but i putted it back becaus i dint know if it was bad for the engine. so i read some forum thing and some say that i need to rejet the bike, but other say that i only need to do that if i take out the
how often should i change the air filter on my kx 125? i have been doing it every couple of rides
and clean the air box filter very well with one paper o something like that
u use diesle and push it down
never twist it
That’s bad way… you have to clean it and oil it!
You don’t have to do it exactly like this guy is doing, you don’t need to dry it so long. Just wash it properly in degreaser and hot water, oil it, squeze excess oil and put in your bike. I do it after every bike wash and i wash my bike once a week because i ride often, it takes me 5 minutes to clean and oil filter. Bike works much better, stronger and i’m sure there will be no dust in cylinder.
