Superstition OHV - Ride to Sand Dam
Got a little preseason dez trip in at Superstition OHV! Enjoy this [basically] uncut video of our ride from The Dip to Sand Dam.
*Full disclosure, this trip was spent breaking in the new motor on my 450X. I kept the RPM's really low, and just putted around this entire ride. I'm eager to really lay into the power during Halloween weekend here in a few weeks, and see how the bike feels with the changes I did this offseason.

How To Repack A Dirt Bike Silencer - Part 1 - 10 Minute Tech
มุมมอง 69ปีที่แล้ว
Back with another 10 minute tech video! This is part 1 of a 2 part series on refreshing my FMF Powercore 4 silencer. I am by no means a professional, but I have learned a trick or two over the years. So many maintenance items can be done in your garage with a little know-how, and I intend on sharing some of mine with you guys!
33's vs 35's - MPG Test!

Like and Subscribe for more content! Ran an MPG loop to put my old 35" Toyo's up against my new 33" BFG's. Toyo AT2's were 35x12.50r17 advertised size. BFG KO2's are 285/70r17 advertised size. Pretty neat comparison. My MPG, drivability, and overall comfort findings were quite interesting.

Watch as I head out to the Knoll’s OHV area, west of SLC, Utah for a solo ride day. Chick-fil-a, premix, and blowing are all involved this time. _grantowens Snapchat: MXJunkie87
Can i do it without removing the tire? Can i do it correctly with tire on the wheel?
5.3L?
4.8 with a cam and 91 octane tune. Nothing crazy.
Thank you so much for this simple demonstration
i was riding and the vibrations caused most of my spokes to come out is there a method to replacing the spokes?
hey bro if you answer some questions about a dirt bike wheel spokes i would appreciate it
will it hurt spokes to add locktite?
Thank you very much for this amazing solution 😊
Thanks so much man, and thanks for being genuine.
Christ the noise is awful.
Yeah the axle on some blocks and ez-flex WD 40 can tip help as well
I was gonna buy a truing stand but after watching this I think im gonna save the money and do it this way, simple, cheap, and effective
Update : i ended up buying a truing stand and im so happy i did. It's so worth it
@@Dommy_Doo😂
My Tahoe with 31 inch tires get 8-10miles to the gallon
Thanks bro I'm new to dirt bikes I was all set to buy a new wheel
Whattaya know, the bike comes with a built-in true stand (forks) so I can save some 💵. Great vid. Thanks
After truing the wheel, do the spokes then need to be torqued to spec all the way round?. If they do need to be torqued after truing, is their a chance that they could be pulled out of line again?
What about torque?
You made it seem so easy. I’m totally blind and will be trying this with a 21 inch dirtbike rim that has all the spokes loose because the rim is a little bent out of whack. Any tips will be appreciated but please wish me luck. A new cheap rim cost about $180 that I’m not trying to spend. I don’t even have a spoke wrench but I think I can get by with an adjustable crescent wrench.
Short & sweet! Thank you Grant.
Great Helpful video
I was told after truing wheel to torque spoke to spec by starting by valve stem tightening all the way skip two tighten. Then when you get back to starting point go to the next one skip two repeat then go to the third one skip two repeat. So you do 3 Revolutions to tighten all the spokes but doing so in that order keeps the wheel true when tightening down spokes to spec
Thanks for the video! Finally picked up another 250 2t, and the rear wheels spokes are so loose.... Thank goodness I didn't ride it yet except test ride before purchase.
I also did check while looking over the bike before purchase. And not all of the spokes are loose. Just majority. And the ones I felt and looked at are of course the ones that are tight. Live and learn!
Nice video man. Cheap, easy and to the point!
How does this guy not have more subscribers?!
Genius. Thank you for sharing!
Great video dude, better than buying a stand that takes up room or paying the local shop $70/hr to do it
Glad this video was of use to you! I’ve since sold this bike to a buddy, and he said his local shop was impressed by how true the wheels were. If you take your time, you can get your wheel REALLY close using this method 🤘🏼🤘🏼 ride on brother!
Thanks pal.
good video dude!
Very well explained and very good showing how to etc.. Please share some more tips if you have
Absolute genius
Super helpful! I'm working on an electric motor bike build and having issues with the rear wheel. I'll give it a try!
Thank you for this man!
How did you torque the spokes down. Did you use a torque wrench?
You can feel it out
I did not use a torque wrench. Like Connar said, you can feel this out. I got them tight, then checked after my first ride. Checking my spokes is part of my pre ride checklist, and should frequently be checked.
Amazing place - I love riding there !!!
