- We have spent years in the shop and have learned a lot about what works the best. Also things that can be hard on the bike/finishes.
Before you beat me up for changing the oil too often - -remember it is very cheap insurance and care for your engine. Our engines last a very long time!
Thanks for all the down to earth info, Jay. Much appreciated.
What’s good my nigga
sorry to be offtopic but does anyone know of a method to get back into an instagram account??
I was dumb lost my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Edison Morgan instablaster =)
@Marvin Nova i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Marvin Nova it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my ass :D
This is the guy that can keep your moto career on a budget
Jay, try Shout laundry pre-cleaner for bike wash. Blast off the chunks, soak with Shout. Let it sit then come back and hose off. It has a good, neutral pH that doesn't hurt anodizing or aluminum. I also use Kroil for loosening stuck fasteners. Kroil is expensive but so much better than PB Blaster. Give it time to let it work.
I watched this because of the rotella in his hand.wanted to see what he said. Been using it for years works Great
You persuaded me to snag some Rotella for my CR250. I change the oil every ride as it is and that gets expensive using the motorcycle lubes.
I love engine ice coolant in my kx450f. I change it at the start of every season (red sticker bike). Never overheated
wow I agree 100% on WD 40 for chain lube, I use to use chain lube yrs ago but got tired of the cost and could never really see a difference in performance between a designated chain lube and WD 40, plus its alot easier to clean
For cleaning yeah wd-0 for lube i use nothing but gear oil ...it wont hurt o rings either..t
Last year i ran only Lucas 10W-40 for the trans, and Lucas Oil Mix for the gas, the bike went just over 100 hours on stock everything! when we tore it down to rebuild, everything was spotless! it is obviously very good stuff, but now this year with his new 2022 KX85, we run only Kawasaki Performance Oil, and mixing Oil, we will see how everything looks when we tear it apart.
@Izzyrodthegod Its great stuff, were just getting ready to redo the top end so we will see how clean it burns and what the inside looks like, but the new KPro / Kawasaki Performance Oils seem to be great
I run rotella t6 full synthetic 5w40 in my atvs. I buy it in 5 gallon pale to service my superduty. It takes 16L so leftovers are for toys.
Is the t6 better to use than t4? (I have a KFX450R)
Duly noted. But I’ll spend the extra just to support the brands within the sport.
Ripping you off tho
Yup
the thing i found that i like about the tire paste is it dries and turns to dust as opposed to making the tube and tire stick like all the other stuff i tried
Your videos are great! Thanks for all of the super helpful info. As a fellow "old dude" I love these budget "real world" recommendations. It's great that you don't just blindly buy the high dollar stuff like the manuals recommend. I'll try the T4 Rotella.
Shell t4 is definitely good stuff. Ive used quaker 1040 oil as well on a pinch with good success but mabye i got lucky wit that one. Most important thing is to change the dang oil, its a 4 minute job.
I use shell currently in my klx125, and used it on a yz80, xl185, XR80, and piranha 90. I find it performs well especially with air cooled motors since theyre the ones that get the hottest.
And wd40 i use to lube my throttle cable, I used it for tire changes, and chain lube. People hate on the stuff for whatever reason...
Thanks for the straightforward explanations about what you use! Appreciate it
Did you know that all of the dot approved brake fluid you can buy in the USA comes from the same 2 plants? It’s tightly regulated and 2 companies make it all, no matter what it says on the label.
Lol time to go cheap on brake fluid
They may all be made at the same plant. But that doesn't mean they are the same formula.
That's "Contract Pack", take it from a career professional supply chain guy. All Consumer Package Goods companies use contract manufacturing, with their "formula" for many liquid and solid products sold for use in your vehicles, pets and persons.
I'm buying rotella from now on
Rotella is the best. But I like amsoil dominator the best for my 2 stroke
That's what I use the Dominator and as preferred preferred customer the oil is much cheaper and delivered at your door. The total price is not much different. Also their 10w40 makes shifting & clutch superior.
I use what I like.
Rotella and klotz
My man
Right lol
Everybody has their own preference on chemicals .. always like to see what other people use
Everyone hates me for using rotella in my bike. "Say goodbye to your clutches" These are the same people who pay bookoo bucks for a carb clean. I'll let them spend 16 bucks a quart at the stealership.
Oil is not 16 bucks a quart 😂. Oil runs for about $8-$9 a quart and shell runs like $3-$4 a quart.
And cleaning the carb takes like $3 just for a can of carb cleaner
@@monsoursaleh3859 motorex gear oil 18$ a liter
@@xXRedEyedStrangerXx well because that’s motorex which over overprices everything. I use pro Honda hp 80w-85w which is $7.50 a quart and works beautifully.
@@xXRedEyedStrangerXx reason why motorex is so expensive is because ktm is sponsored by them and recommends there products so mostly ktm rider buy there stuff and everyone who rides ktm has good money so they don’t care if it’s $16 a quart.
You can buy 5 gallon buckets of the same oil at the store or online for a lot less than 10 individual one gallon oil cans.
Klotz 2 stroke all day ! Made in Fort Wayne Indiana .
I like to use a little Shoe-Goo for my grips. It works great and is inexpensive.
Honda polish for last detail, super cheap and easy to use
I use rotella in everything I own and amsoil dominator 2stroke
Ya great help here for good products proven to work that don't break the bank
This dude is awesome ❤
Gotta love this honest advice.
This dude and this video is decent Lucas is gtg as well for the price can't beat it tbh great lubricity
It was nice to hear you say pam, I have used it a lot over the years as well fun stuff.
Keep up the fun videos sir.
dale
"...cuz I don't like going to Walmart any more than I have to." LMAO!
Really interesting video I'd like to see more people doing videos like this i think everyone has their go to products im going to try the glass cleaner and scrubbing bubbles see how it works
New to your channel came here from one of your tire videos. Great info and the way your explain stuff. Thanks for the video brother
Awesome video. Love how you replied to pretty much everyone. Question i had was already answered by you in the comments
I try
Another mechanic that uses WD-40 on chains!! Awesome, I get so much slack for using it, but I feel the same way as you do about the O-rings.
Owner of Loctite lobbies for trail closures in CO.
Well, that sucks for sure-- Do you have a link you can send with anything showing that? I will for sure stop using their products. Threebond is good as well.
@@dirtbiketv1 Slavens mentioned it. Here: th-cam.com/video/SfnZxTGbTxY/w-d-xo.html
Whaaaat... spread the word!
I run rotella in everything I own.
now i can use stuff found in walmart!!!
save on maintenance stuff that works!
i start using this Dupont chain lubricant and degreaser from walmart as well and works great!
good lubrication and easy to take it off!
Yep
Such a golden video thank you guys!!!!!
Glad you like it!
Finally some one who has the same perspective as I have had for years regarding chain lube and the dirts they attract acting as grinding compounds.
What Motorex grease is in the tub you liked? What is the specific name or part # or...?
I have seen Rotella T6 used a lot in 2 stroke dirtbike transmissions and street sportbikes but never T4.
T6 has JASO listed on its label but not the MA or MA2 symbol as none of the Rotella oils have been sent to Japan for JASO testing and certification.
Not saying the Shell products would not meet the JASO as Shell says they believe their oils do. Thus it would be illegal for Shell Rotella to put the JASO MA, MA2 symbols onto their containers.
I thought everyone used Belray waterproof grease. LOL. I have used it for 30 years.
I would read manual for engine oil and filter changes. Mine is every 6 races or 15.0 hours.
Yes and we would all like to hear an explanation on this. Or a debate with oem. They actually recommend repacking the muffler and changing spark plug more often than changing oil & filter.
Excellent video!
Thanks for sharing! Very helpful
Rotella T is no longer MA approved anymore...they had to reduce the ZDDP levels for emissions reasons...
Still says ma and ma2. Wonder whats up.
I had heard the rotella wasn’t as good as it used to be and rekluse no longer recommends it.
I run all amsoil and love it.
Taylor Beams they no longer recommend the t6 im pretty sure
ItsBigCon yeah just the t6. T4 is still good to go.
I heard the same thing, but I have been on the same clutches in both my KTM and Honda using T4 for 5 years now. So my thought on it is that even if it isn't as good, I have saved enough money to buy 4 clutches by now, so it doesn't really matter.
To answer your question directly, yes Rotella reformulated but it's still great oil. If you have a engine with a catalytic converter the new formula will 100% cause premature Oxygen Sensor failure and clog the catalytic converters prematurely. If you absolutely beat the piss out of your motor, you'll be fine. New formula requires 1500f DPF filter temperatures. Rarely seen with regular vehicle street use, hence why you need to beat the piss outta it.
I run yamahlube 2r oil for two stroke
Same. It says so on the owners manual
Awesome vid. Thank you. The Hunter mounting paste is orderable on eBay.
I just searched and found it $70 - From a Rep around $30
@@dirtbiketv1 Ah, well, that's not good. I guess we'll need to decide if we'll pay a $40 premium for the convenience.
Great video bro thanks. I'm going to start using Rotella in my xr600 and my 07 Silverado and my 03 Freightliner and my 79 C70 Detroit Diesel thanks bro now I only need one oil.
Three pieces of safety wire on your grips vs glue. Won't slip, ever.
I just follow the manual. Yamalube has worked.
For years I have been saying Maxima Chain Wax is designed to sell more chains. If you put wax on a chain the dirt sticks and wears it out faster. But that being said Motorex Chain Lube is fully synthetic and acts just as WD 40 it works amazing.
What’s the difference between the road and off road motorex chain libe
For grips I always use clear spray paint spray a bit in the grip and done deal
Me too it works better then grips glue imo
I found it the best oil always depends on Whose selling it to you when you're breaking in a motor use a non-synthetic after that depending on your motor in my case high RPM 2 stroke I like a synthetic or whatever I can get my hands on but the best oil is always oil mixed in the gas for your 2-stroke LOL this was a joke people oil does matter but as long as it's a good brand oil you will be okay don't believe the hype but make sure you have oil cuz when you run out you will be wondering why your oil went bad LOL
I love the content on this channel thank you sir
Motorex has several different types of grease, which is the most recommended for the bearings of the motorcycle wheels and for the motorcycle in general?
The only guy I trust
Jay, thank you for all the beneficial posts you take the time to do out of your busy day. I just bought a 2021 FC350 and it says the engine oil needs to be fully synthetic. Is the Shell safe/good to use?
Yes good to use
Thank you!!
Good to know all the info on affordable effective chemicals. Any thoughts on hydraulic clutch fluid that is alternative to the expensive Magura Blood ?
I think on those. your can use Mineral oil-- read the cap and also owners manual and Motorex has some that you can use in that case,
Simple green stained my motor casing on the right side bad. Sprayed it on when the engine was hot and it’s stained. Looks like I had a oil leak but didn’t
I've heard rotella in the DRZ400s makes it bubble/ foam have your ever heard of this?
Thanks for the video Jay I just bought a 2022 YZ 250x two-stroke so it is safe to run the Rotella T4 in the transmission ? and I’ve been running the Amsoil dominator but I really love the smell of the bean oil and I know the klots R50
Has some bean oil in it so if I switch to the klots R50 what ratio should I run it ?we do mainly trail riding or dual sport trails and gravel roads please respond thanks Jay I’ve always love the smell of the bean oil but in the past couple years I have seen lots of bad reviews on the Castro 927 so I switched to the dominator hated to give up that smell but it was failing plugs in my bike and running oil out of silencer had to replace packing old bike so I made the switch to the dominator Amsoil but I would love to go back to that smell I just have never ran the klots R50 thanks again for the content and keeping it real and not letting big manufactures influence your con tent nice to see someone as popular as you being down to earth and honest mad respect🙏🤘👍✊
So is that just the regular WD-40 you use to lube o ring chains ?
If you change your oil every 5 hours can you get 2 or 3 usage out of the same oil filter? 2014 ktm 350 xcf-w
Love your video! Just a question about the Motorex grease, did you mean the white grease, bike grease, 2000 or 3000?
Would you run that 15w-40 in a bike that calls for 15w-50 like a ktm 350?
Heck yes we have in our own
I run diesel oil in my bikes that call for 40 weight but that's a different weight lol
Super glue melts off gotta get high temp glue
Do you use rotella for the transmission and engine oil?
Yes -- email further questions
If you rinse simple green off after a few minutes will it cause any damage?
You should’ve said t4 there’s alot of t models
Should I run 1540 shell Rotella on a 2003 Xr 70 ?
Jeff Slavens says the Loctite owner was getting trails closed around his Colorado home, to motorcycle use. So I won't use that product now and call it "Thread Locker". Supporting those who support motorcycling while we motorcyclist respect other users, by not riding with pipes over 96db on public land.
Great info. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Hey Jay I’m surprised you use Scrub n Bubbles. The PH is so acidic. I Love your content bro
Hi there would a 2018 ktm 350xcf be ok to run rottella 15W40.P.S love the videos very helpful
Thanks-- Yes we run it in our 350XCF -- Great bike--
Jay, what would you use to get the tiny littler spec of dirt that are stuck in/stained the cast engine cases?
Can be very tough. But usually a cleaner like soft scrub with bleach in it an scrub and paper wash. If motor is out can get vapor blast done but have to block off entire engine from any getting inside engine.
am riding out tomorrow but i have to do an emergency oil change on my yz250 2 stroke. i can use the rotella shell oil he said right
Yes
@@dirtbiketv1 thank you on my way to get it right now
Klotz is the best imo
what's your opinion on maxima coolanol coolant?
Great content. Thx!
I know you’re supposed to run motorex oil in the KTMs. Would you be able to use shell rotella for ktm and without causing premature wear?
Mitchell Moran I’ve been running motorex in my 2016 KTM250sx for about 4 years and never had it rebuilt and it lasts forever. And I run rotella t4 in all my other bikes and they seem to be fine. I just started using it!
*can i use the rotella t4 15w40 on my honda cr85?
Yes I use rotella in my Ktm 125
Is the Shell Rotella t4 good for the clutch considering it doesn’t have additive for the clutch?
Might be a stupid question… Iv been running Yamalube 10w-40 in my 23 YZF250 since it was brand new. It has about 24 hours on it. Would it be ok to just switch to Rotella t4 15w-40?
Is the Rotella good for both sides of the crf450r?
I have left over Castrol GTX 10w40 synthetic that will no longer be used for my car. Could I use that in my bike to get rid of it?
Thanks
yes
Any particular reason you use the T4 regular instead of the T6 synthetic?
The Synthetic is not as good on the Clutches and overkill for what we need and we can change often with the low lost option
Will leaded fuel harm my fuel injection system on my dirt bike
Email Jay with any questions. Contact info in About tab.
What kind of grease is the black container?
Is that rotella good for the clutch on a 2 stroke?
Yes
@@dirtbiketv1 I'm running EBC DRC clutch and they won't recommend any synthetic. Is this Synthetic?
Been running it in my XC250 for 5 years and still on the same clutch.
Thanks
So 15w 40 is good for all the parts in the dirt bike and atv motor and what about the clutch is it ok for that to??
Yes for sure
The Rotella T4 is harder to find these days. but they usually have T5 and T6. Seems like only difference is T5 syn blend and T6 full syn. What are your thoughts about the Rotella T5 or T6?
T5 & T6 are too slippery. "May" cause clutch to slip. The T4 has a thicker viscosity
I have some 20/50 synthetic oil I need to
use up, my yx 140cc engine calls
for 10/40 standard oil. It's 120f out here
so I don't think the viscosity should be an
issue, what about using this synthetic, I don't
need it for anything else.
Email me. Contact info in About tab.
@@dirtbiketv1 Thanks!
I'm running EBC DRC clutch and they won't recommend any synthetic. Is Rotella good, Is it Synthetic?
Yes good and not synthetic.
Hey Jay! I got a 2011 crf250r and in the owner’s manual they recommended 10w-30 oil, should I put the rotella 15w-40 or rotella 10w-30? Thanks
15-40
I have a 2005 Crf450r and 20 crf450x can Rotella be used for both sides motor and Tran?
What about the rotella 15w40 for a rekluse clutch. ??
Are you putting the rotella in your transmission as well? Lol cause I’ve been using the Honda transmission oil on my crf450r
Yes -- works great and way cheaper
Coolant question? You said, no mixing certain ones with regular coolant. Why? Would it really make a difference? In an emergency, would mixing be better than leaving the level low?
MotoMadMan 45 causes them to jell when mixed so leave it low.
I was mainly referring to the Evans Coolant type that is more of a Oil based and works well but does require that you dont mix with any other regular style Coolants we are used to.
I’ve been thinking about switching to rotella for all of my quads and dirt bikes. Should I use t4 or t6?
T4 -- cheapest one $13-15 range --
Ok. Thanks for the quick reply.
