It’s no secret that motocross is a dirty sport, but it is also quite hardwearing on your bike and while maintaining it is something that is imperative to the performance of the bike, most people tend to ignore it until the bike breaks down in the middle of a race and they are left floundering in the mud while everyone else rides off into the distance. Maintaining your motocross bike is not a difficult task, it just requires some basic knowledge and regular attention before and after races and periodically during the racing season. Below are some tips for keeping your bike in pristine condition.

Every time you get on the bike there are some very simple checks you need to do concerning the general condition of the bike. Check the chain for any distorted links and make sure it is clean and lubricated. Take out the air filter and make sure that it is clean or replace it with a new filter if it is required. Lastly, give the bike a once-over, checking every nut and bolt on the bike is tight and making sure all spokes on the wheels are secure.

Before you take your motocross bike out for an intensive practice run or a scheduled event, there are some more stringent checks you need to carry out. One of the most important areas on any vehicle to check are the rotational bearings used in the swingarm, wheels and headstem assemblies. Bearings will regularly need re-packing with grease and also need to be checked for mechanical tolerances (or ‘play’). If you find that a bearing feels ‘loose’ or there is more friction than expected, replace it immediately.

All 2-stroke motocross bikes sold nowadays come with a power valve system that helps to improve operating efficiency and therefore power output throughout the rev range. Due to the nature of this system, the power valves require regular maintenance to keep them running efficiently and effectively. Cleaning modern power valves is not an easy task as some can contain over 40 separate parts. If you decide to take the job on yourself, get yourself a workshop manual and do not use cleaning materials that will score or damage the aluminum surface of the power valve.

While most general maintenance is not that difficult to do for the average bike rider, a workshop manual for your motocross bike would help you get through any of the more difficult jobs. If you are having problems with your bike, there are a number of specialized internet forums that will gladly help you. It is important to drain and replace your engine oil on a regular basis depending on how frequently you ride your bike, and also change the gearbox oil frequently, but not as often as changing the engine oil.

Styling your vehicle by way of installing and replacing certain parts is a way many of us attempt to individualize our vehicles to separate it from other similar models we see on the street. As a by product of the massive increase in the vehicle customization market, there are now a huge number of parts and accessories on the market which you can use to personalize your vehicle. A summary of the most common forms of car styling parts and accessories are listed below.

Without going into the territory of body panel replacement or modification, one of the best ways to create enhanced visual impact in terms of exterior customization is by re-spraying the vehicle in a non-standard color. Nowadays any vehicle re-spraying business is able to paint a vehicle to any color you desire including such forms as metallic, matte, pearlescent or standard gloss paint finishes. Matte paint finishes have become very fashionable recently with a few manufacturers like Lamborghini and BMW offering vehicles with matte paint as an optional extra on new car purchases. Pearlescent paint became popular during the 1990s, and is still popular today in the vehicle modification scene as it can make a vehicle really stand out from the crowd.

If you want to go one step further, or possibly do not have the budget for a complete vehicle re-spray, you could opt to fit aftermarket wheels. Due to the costs involved, some people choose to fit OEM wheels from a higher spec vehicle of the same model, though some people like to go all out and fit diamond studded 30 inch wheels to their SUVs. Whatever your personal tastes and budget, there is bound to be a style of wheel suitable.

Whereas many people prefer to modify the exterior of their vehicles to change the way it looks to other people, as the majority of time is spent inside, driving the vehicle, some people would prefer to customize the interior. The best way to change the whole look and feel of your vehicle’s interior is to re-upholster the seats and replace the carpet with something more attune to your tastes. Leather upholstery has always been a popular choice though there are many different types of fabric you can choose. Some people that are on a budget choose to replace the interior with that of a different specification of the same model of vehicle. This is because it is almost guaranteed to fit without modifications and also can be bought relatively cheaply.

If you do not have the budget for the more expensive vehicle styling methods or you just need a few things to complement you vehicle’s new look, you may want to look at replacing things such as the steering wheel, the gear knob, certain interior trim pieces and door cards, the stereo system or maybe even installing tints to your windows. The internet is a great source of knowledge if you need help finding parts or installing parts, though if you are still having trouble, try visiting your local vehicle parts supplier for help or advice.
