You can sort of go two ways with it? Do you wanna spend a hundred dollars on something bling that adds no performance or are you gonna spend it on something purposeful and worth while? Guess it depends on how you spend your hard earned!
I have vintage European bikes with Magura levers , I’d always known them to be impossible to bend , but my son has broken four of them now . I’m gonna stockpile them now. But at least I put Teflon tape under bracket so it spins instead of breaking lever.
🤔 my top five would be hour meter,radiator braces,skid plate,grips and bars. For a new bike. For 50$ Air filter,grips,hour meter,bolt axle blocks and front steel braided brake line. Great video 🤘👍
Skid plate being a close 2nd. I made one for my old wr200 with sheet aluminum from a scrap yard and u-bolts. Hammer, grinder, drill, file and you're good to go for cheap.
my 2002 yz426f is an Ebay built bike for like $300 new water pump, fork seals, frame guards, levers, brush guards ,new chain and sprockets, and graphics she looks and rides like a caddy
1) Works Connection Radiator Braces 2) Magnetic Oil Drain Bolt 3) Works Connection Holeshot Device 4) Pro Taper Wireless Hour Meter 5) Acerbis Footpeg Covers * (Bonus) Skid Plate (if the bike doesn't come with one)
Good list overall. Second to moving levers in or in addition you can put Teflon tape under the mount or leave them a hair loose. That way when they hit the perch can spin some as well.
Protect your investment first, 1.skid plate. 2. hand guards. 3.rear disc guard 4. swing arm tab protector (swing arms are $$) 5. pipe guard if you believe in them, many don't. I wouldn't start with your top 4 because they are all comfort items. Nice to do eventually, but if you break the things you didn't at least try and protect, you're not going to care which bars, mount,grips or pegs you have. Like all list, it is subjective.
go aluminum skid plate. The acerbis plastic does not hold up on rocky trail. Spent good $ on it and it let me down after a few rides. Dont get me wrong, I shop 100% of my parts from RMATV just saying its not worth the $ for the rocky stuff.
Best part is when he says he's a short rider at 5'7" and here I am 5'2" trying to put the kick stand back like a child on a bar stool -cries-, good video though!
Is a bent rim causeing me to have flats every three days. Bought a used bike about two weeks ago with a bent rim. Rim has two broken spokes and been gets flats like crazy. Getting a new rim ordered pretty soon.
I would take the tire completely off the wheel and make sure you don't have something floating around the inside that could be puncturing your tube. Plus it's just not safe to ride with two broken spokes.
Rocky Mountain ATV MC. I had my cousin check it out bc he’s evening riding for a while now and since he looked at it I been good. Besides that three more days till I get my new rim ordered 😁. Is there some were I can txt y’all about my bike bc there’s a number of things I needa get fixed and dk what it really is
It was the broken spokes hitting the tube and puncturing it. He probably just fully removed the broken spokes and taped wholes. Then no flats at least. Still needed the wheel though..
your budget is too low, if you’re looking for a main brand bike like yamaha and honda them you’re gonna be looking at about 1700 dollars used on facebook marketplace or craigslist. I just got my first bike and it took a lot of searching. don’t quit looking good luck bro
Premix Utah you should be able to feel pretty quickly if you’re comfortable or not... I’m talking 2-3 motos in 1 day and you should be pretty much used to it. Especially it if it’s a bend that suits the way you ride. Forcing yourself to feel comfortable on something you don’t like is the best way to either crash or add 5-10 seconds onto your lap time
Or you might like different bends on different bikes too. Tougher on vintage bikes too, I finally tried the Renthal vintage bend on my 77’ Husqvarna and I like it but on the Japanese bikes I like the early Cr Elsinore bend more 🤷🏻♂️
Some of my choices are a little more than $100, but not much more. #1: Skid plate with water pump protection. #2: Controls. (CR tall bend bars, clutch pull reducer, levers & spare perches, Renthall medium compound full waffle grips, hand protection.) #3: Tires & super heavy natural rubber tubes. #4: O or X ring chain & tool steel sprockets (if available). #5: Oversized front brake & pads for both ends. Rear disc protector.
The mounts range from $85 to around $100 depending on what bike and size bars you have. You can check them out here: Standard bars- www.rockymountainatvmc.com/parts/ride-engineering-one-piece-7-8%22-handlebar-mount-p Oversized bars- www.rockymountainatvmc.com/parts/ride-engineering-one-piece-oversized-handlebar-mount-p
Well first I would do a skid plate because I ride more trails then I would say foot pegs for the next one I would say tires 4th and 5th would be chain and seat
The bar I had on for this video was the Mcgrath bend. Pretty low and straight. Right now I'm using the new RC4 bar from ODI. I like it a little more. - Chase
#1 Oil filter/oil change.. #2 air filter/air box cleaning spray.. #3 radiator flush kit & coolant change.. #4 new oil lines/fuel lines/& coolant lines. #5 spark plug/new battery... That is if your buying a used bike because it would go so much further instead of some new bars, grips, or a skid plate tbh...
@@hoosiertrailrider Probably insurance or rent hahah. But in all seriousness I'd love some upgraded footpegs. Either that or skid plate/handle bars. Depending on how the bike came set up stock.
1. skid plate
2. radiator gaurds
3. hand gaurds
4.shark fin
5. rear tubliss
not a bad list right there!
And forward bending levers
Imports and Atvs just leave your levers a little bit loose on the bar and bang them into place if you crash
@@importsandatvs3072 Full wrap handgaurds will protect perches and levers
@@tonycstech Did you not watch the video???? Cost of each item is under $100 ahahhaha
What do you think of this list? What accessory would you pick up if you had $100 to spend?

Rocky Mountain ATV MC this is the reality
1. hr meter
2. Handle bars
3. Grips
4. Air filters
5. Levers
Then start with clutch plates, brakes, pegs, extra things that wear out.
I could move my levers to the centre of the handlebars and I know I’d still break one off lol
You ever consider wrap around handguards? I drop my bike all the time and haven't had a problem since I got them 👍
Mike King lmao. I always did move mine in. Just like the guy said it’s more leverage to pull them in.
haha!
I have vintage European bikes with Magura levers , I’d always known them to be impossible to bend , but my son has broken four of them now . I’m gonna stockpile them now. But at least I put Teflon tape under bracket so it spins instead of breaking lever.
I built a locker in my garage for my gear and I used the first lever I ever broke as a latch🤣🤣
Top 5 trail bike mods!
Pro tip: Get an pneumatic file. You can sharpen the stock pegs 3-4 times before you have to buy new ones.
good advice!
@@tonycstech never heard of an air file? You can get one at harbor freight.
@@DmenDuroRider Or just use a hand-file.
1. Light bar
2. Hand guards

Love the vids can you do a ATV accessories list
Definitely a seat cover you can find good grippy ones with ribs well under 100 bucks and just helps riding technique much better

Why a hour meter?
I would spend my $100 on Monster Energy and Metal Mulisha sticker packs
He should put some hand guard first! Then radiators protection , skid plate , better radiator tap, breaks disk protection
crf250 Honda all subjective . I almost can’t ride with hand guards myself
I have the renthal twin wall bars on my Crf450r and they have never let me down
Minds a crf150f and I’m trying to costom it like urs
Can you suggest wrist guards? I've heard of people adjusting their levers in so they are closer to the grips? Can you do that with hydraulic levers?
Wrist guard? I'm assuming you're talking about a wrist brace? If that's the case, I have the Mobius X8 wrist brace and I really like it - Chase
Bark busters are number 1
Skid plate being a close 2nd. I made one for my old wr200 with sheet aluminum from a scrap yard and u-bolts. Hammer, grinder, drill, file and you're good to go for cheap.

I would either do grips or footpegs (unless a tire is bad)
Good advise on the tires. For smaller hands, get adjustable levers.
My number 1 is a skid plate and #2 is extended tip rear brake lever
First thing I bought when i got my son a new bike was an hour meter.
Leo Marquez wish I had one on my bike I have no idea how many hours are on my bike
Amazing video for the average rider the majority we dont have loads of cash to throw at are bikes
Great list and tip. Thanks for sharing and Happy Trails
That back fender had me trippin😂anyone else??
Why?
Good list overall. Second to moving levers in or in addition you can put Teflon tape under the mount or leave them a hair loose. That way when they hit the perch can spin some as well.
Tip for foot pegs: file them down when they wear out to sharpen them
I bought expensive levers and wrap around hand guards to protect them even tho they can bend backwards
Somewhere in the mix. Full wrap hand guards and a spark arrest to end cap if your bike isn’t already spark arrested maybe even an oversized tank
Awesome vid and edits and filming and bike and products
One of the first things I buy are unbreakable levers

What would you recommend for handle bars for a 6-5 guy?
Joy Trivia pro taper xr50 bars
Renthal Jimmy Button bend and use 1” bar risers you can find for pit bikes
what's the tire pressure for a motocross track like glen helen
Great video I am so glad I found your guys channel loved the 5miles of hell videos with cheap bikes.
Grip donuts!!! Don't get blisters.
$50 or less hour meter, grip tape, bar risers, sprockets to change the gear ratio, seat cover, and motion pro micro fork bleeders
Pretty good. Graphics, hydration pack, goggles, chain. Lots of 100 dollar purchases
again cool video with great tips guys!

Is a bent rim causeing me to have flats every three days. Bought a used bike about two weeks ago with a bent rim. Rim has two broken spokes and been gets flats like crazy. Getting a new rim ordered pretty soon.
There could be something in the tire puncturing the tube or maybe your just pinching the tube
I would take the tire completely off the wheel and make sure you don't have something floating around the inside that could be puncturing your tube. Plus it's just not safe to ride with two broken spokes.

What 125cc dirt bike do you suggest for a 12 year old? Budget: 1000$

Can you do one for Husqvarna Fe250, please.
Problem with bars is sometimes it takes weeks or months to know you don't like the bend

The first thing anyone should buy for a new or used bike is a factory/oem service manual.
Protection, protection, protection so I can ride harder and still make it back to the truck after a spill or clash with all the rocks of the Rockies!
Im only new to dirt bikes, but im getting the impression radiator guards are a good investment. Every bike i see seems to have smashed radiators
Bars,grips,skidplate,seat cover and sprocket
Seat cover could definitely be on my list. Some of those things are like slip n' slides. Thanks for watching! - Chase
#1 Oil filter/oil change.. #2 air filter/air box cleaning spray.. #3 radiator flush kit & coolant change.. #4 new oil lines/fuel lines/& coolant lines. #5 spark plug/new battery...

Used bike, fluids, filter, tune-up. New bike, grips and an breakaway clutch lever with ez turn
1 & 2. Tyres
3. O ring chain
4. Levers & grips
5. $100 of fuel
I would say a new carb would be nice
(if you bought the bike used)
I would get a nice air filter because it seems like every used bike I get has a air filter that has probably been neglected since the bike was made
