- This is a complete guide to doing graphics. It is very long, yes but it is very detailed and uploaded on youtube and dirtbikemagazine.com for you to use as a reference when you are doing graphics. Obviously this is a Yamaha and probably the most difficult bike out there right now to do besides the Honda so this should have all the problems you may encounter with any other machine.

Yes! This guy knows his stuff, I feel honoured to be let in on his technique and secrets. Always a pleasure to watch a craftsman at work; Thanks for the lesson.
Very nice job, now i can do mine Thanks!!!
I used this method and my graphics/decals came out like a professional SX mechanic put them on.!! :-} Been doing it incorrectly for years with just trying to align and put on with it being sticky. Love how the Windex or glass cleaner of choice gives you the thin layer to move it around and get it aligned prior to begin working in the decal. Great to know going forward.
Yes! This is the proper way to apply graphics, using windex will allow you to not screw up. Thanks for uploading this video! :D
I followed your tips for installing my graphics and it totally worked! I suck at putting even basic stickers on anything but this method worked even for me. There was no way I would have put these graphics on as well as I did dry. Thanks for the vid!
contact cleaner absorbs thru skin, as do most solvents, wear nitrite gloves to avoid exposure.
they also keep skin oil off the stickers and are easy to change when they get dirty.
Excellent guide. Just done shroud graphics after studying the video and am very pleased with the results. Windex isn't available in the UK so have used a very dilute solution of washing up liquid. Thanks for taking the time to make and post this video.
That was an excellent video.
Thanks for the effort to upload this
Really helpful. Gives confidence to hit the decal with the heat gun hard
Thanks very much for taking the time to post this, it has helped me soo much because i was having a lot of trouble with the complex curves on my yamaha wr250f 2016 model. i had no idea you could use soo much heat soo close to the graphics,i did use a heat gun on lowest setting but was too worried about going as close as i see you doing it , i;ve subbed so i can go back to this exact vid for future reference thanks again from UK.
I love his closing statement " if your still doing it dry, your in the dark ages". It works Awesome, who would've known....
congrats on making a full length movie about installing graphics lol
Thanks for taking the time to do this in detail.
FYI, Windex, and other sprays containing ammonia, will begin to break down the adhesive on your graphics. It may take a while but they won't last nearly as long. If you only plan on running them for a half season, you won't have to worry about it. Anything longer and you may notice the edges lifting in high stress areas.
I heard the same thing about ammonia. I just bought some new graphics from one of the biggest graphic companies out there and they don’t say anything about getting it wet or using glass cleaner in the directions.
@@dustinsouza1410 brake cleaner or another liquid that evaporates quickly and doesn't leave a residue.
There is glass clean that does not contain ammonia. Holds true to NOT use glass cleaning containing ammonia on tinted windows.
I even asked the manufacturer how to apply and that was not the way they said. Wish I came across this before doing mine. Would've saved having to buy another set of decals.
That was the most pro graphics install !
did everyone see him just slap that thing on there!? lined up perfectly haha
Aaron ikr likr wtf
thanks doing that this weekend, video were very helpful. tnx 4 posting
Timeless information! 💯💯
Thank you
Great video, wish I had the patience to install graphics like that....
Man something seems so wrong about wetting the graphics before putting them on. I have def been doing this the hard way lol give this a shot next time I put some graphics on the bike. thanks for the vid
Best video I’ve seen
Good job! Can I use soap and water spray, instead of glass cleaner
is that a new yamaha??? were is the frontfender???? need some tipps for my 2016 yz twostroke! ;)
yeah i got the wrong plastics for my yz250f, the texture isnt bad though
Found it! Blue max squeege!
Where can i get this blue sponge please?
Can we use the folded up wet towel method for the whole wrap if we don’t have the squeegee kit?
Thanks. That was really informative.
Everything went great except the rear fender... It's got tiny folded spots nead the Dunlops, and abit of air bubbles... I'm not starting over !
Mahalo braddah.
What is the blue soft squeeze or a sponge?
How much do you dilute the Ammonia FREE windex?
great video
Great video!
do u have to make the plate wet before putting sticker on?!
Does anyone know where i can get the kit I've looked all over the site and can't find the squeegee or any type of graphics kit application stuff
Does this method apply with any decal/graphics kit?
Nice video, bro! Really usefull!
Did you used a heat gun or a hairdrayer?
Lol I don't even have a bike. But I love the video
Radiator shrouds on the YZ250 are pretty ridiculous.....
can you use the windex on any brand graphics?
Does the windex method work on different graphics brands? I ordered from deco decals just don't want to screw up 150$ graphics.
+sniprzgetmohead yes
What is windex?
how can i make my own graphics . and where to get correct layouts
Rush Base motopro graphics are good!
I was under the impression that Windex is NOT good to use because it is an ammonia based cleaner and weakens the adhesive... probably wrong though..
Shawn Poppleton There is Windex that is ammonia free.
+Shawn Poppleton
+Jeff Bailey thanks for the advice man! I have been using windex for years, and did not know that is why my graphics we're peeling up.
@@jeffbailey4073 That's BS, don't waste your money on that liquid decal stuff. Been using windex for years and never had an issue, the decals stay longer than the bike is owned. Windex works perfect and I hear guys like this say it's bad for the adhesive which is not true and they never can show you any data to prove it.
@@kimojon9665 Lockheed Martin uses it on the F35 Stealth Fighter after a year long and very expensive lab testing process funded by the US Air Force. Decal Works Application Fluid made by Rapid Tac works! Avoid window cleaners and ammonia based products, they are not good for your graphics.
Use a vinegar based window cleaner as ammonia breaks down the adhesive over time...
next in kawasaki
Lucky toss ;-)
This guy sounds like Brendan Lutes
Can I mail you my plastics and Graphics and PayPal you $50 to instal them?
“Smells good, but this stuff is nasty” 😅
Contact cleaner does NOT smell good lol

My graphics look a million times better than these.
