Had bikes for 20 years with no breakdowns I never cleaned that well. But it never hurts. I think the biggest point here is the inspection. That never gets skipped, even on a dirty bike.
Cody, suggest you put your tools in a Ziplock freezer bag and then put them in the nylon pouch. No rust, no dust, no cleaning. Thanks for 13 years of great content.
I came across his bike build video and said how excellent that bike is set up. I have the exact same bike, same year, but it's a KTM (exact bike, Husky and KTM are). I've been in the industry building and riding bikes for over 20 years. Here we go again, this guy is spot on, this is exactly how a pro washes and takes care of his bike! I would love to ride with this amazing guy! It would be the FizzZ. Thanks Mr. Wranglerstar, great show...
One other thing I do is grab the leaf blower and dry the bike off after getting it soaken wet. Then I just put velvet ropes around it and admire it after almost 2hrs of cleaning.
literally just cleaned mine yesterday using your method and decided i'm buying the ProFilter disposable air filters. Never feel like I get the air filter clean enough and the brand new one with the bike (cleaned once) already had a couple small tears on it.
That's true, you notice problems a lot more when you wash a vehicle. I have seen some recommendations that say don't pressure wash the chain so you don't get water in the seals. Great job.
Suggest a comprehensive maint video, how many top ends, tires, chains, sprockets, fork seals, batteries, clutches, no bottom end? What type of maint schedule for fork oil, grease, gear oil, type of premix (synthetic), what ratio 50 to 1? You seem to set a standard with quality care, more detail would be awesome.
I'm from upstate ny in the Catskill mountains population 2500 to 4000 depending on the time of year lots of city folks here on weekend and holidays. I've snowmobile mostly close to home but I can't imagine being 60 miles from the road sounds like heaven to me you are blessed for sure.
Great video, very well shot and edited. These time efficient high quality videos you do are so good I am obligated to share them with my friends. Stay well
Great video. I had a Husky once but couldn't keep it clean due to the Georgia red dirt......east coast problems. Not an issue with the orange KTM's though. I'm definitely impressed with your bike looking that good at 800 hours.
Throw away filters is genious. They need to make them cheap at $1 each and just cover the original air filter. I’m gonna make my own. Great idea. It just needs to have a thin layer of foam over the original foam and throw them away. Density of the foam has to be pretty close to the original so it doesn’t affect running performance
The SC1 is gold. Spray that in am ATV/UTV and it looks great. If mudding or a wet day leave it. Dry day, wipe it off and dust wint stick and cleaning up after is easy
Could you do a full review of your surefire backup torch if you have the time ? Really interested in one but would appreciate your opinion on it as a homestead pro ho edc torch !
Something to add...make ya a PVC rack that holds your boots upside down, and you can spray them off/clean them at the same time. The rack hangs them upside down, so you can hit them without getting water into them.
T-handels are a must!!! Especially on sportbikes with fairings. People never seem to take them off and clean. The amount of build up on most front sprockets is nutty.
Great job, Cody! Good tips. I usually use kerosene to clean my chain and chain wax after I am finished, but I am riding mostly on tarmac. Who makes the disposable air filter? I would like to find one for my Versys 1000.
A tip from one moto guy to a proho: you can re-lube your chain with gear oil! 75w-90 works amazing, and a bottle of the stuff lasts a lot longer than those spray cans. Its not some crazy "lifehack" either, most motorcycle manuals up until now specified heavy gear oil for maintaining your chain
Anyone else seeing that TH-camrs who lean right, you can't see the like button until playing the video? This video had zero buttons until I started watching it.
I don’t think I’ll even own a motorcycle but I found this video really interesting. Thank you for taking the time to share! Also…there’s a wranglerstar tee????
And. I am an Australian. Are you 'Right wing'. - Yes - But yer a Yank. I expect that. (My opinion ). - I have watched, Most of your posts since jus after you started (13?

Cody, you've struck a chord, millions of us tune in. It was simply your turn, you get a following and the scum are coming for you. Never bend the knee my friend. Rolling Stone can go to hell. And yeah, nice clean bike.
They sell these electric spray bottle heads, so instead of getting a hand cramp while having to spray down a large area you could just hold the trigger down and get a much more even spray on everything
Man you threw away clean air filter. My 300XC Has 1100 hours and I only clean the air filter when it gets very dirty. But I like everything else you do.
Just saying, I work at a bearing store, and many dirtbike wheel bearing failures come from using the pressure washer too intencevly and too close to the shafts and bearings(to wash the mud off). Pressurised water goes behind the seals and in to the bearings with dirt and the wearing begins.
I heard him say “this is a 2018 bike.” W/o batting an eye. I literally crapped myself when he said 12:50 “Looks pretty good for a 7 year old bike.” Ig my brain did not process how long ago 2018 was😂

Cody, The last time I replied to you, I didn't think you liked it - Thought I was prolly 'Banned'. - Like - I'm not.
Do you do maintenance on a dirty bike?
and because of dirt you cant see many things underneath
@@shanechepren8119 i can read ur comment so ur probably not banned

Thanks for the “older style diy” videos Mr. W
I love Maxima stuff (especially the chain wax), but I've used Kerosene to clean my chains for years and had great results.
In a pinch, yes, but not great for o-ring chains on higher hp bikes
@@eriklambert3809 That’s what I’ve heard. I believe all cleaners are bad on rubber. Just have to make sure you use a good quality lube after cleaning.
Painting the clip is very clever, i willdo that to my roadbike right noe. Thanks Cody!
Happy you aren’t running away afraid, stand tall brother. What you speak about, also be about. Keep going ❤

"This is your Huckleberry" lol the humor always catches me off guard. Loved this one Cody.
One of the most dialed bikes I have ever seen. Nice job !! glad to see you are enjoying the finer points in life !! Greetings from Alberta Canada
OMG, this video guves me the fizz. I love cleaning my vehicles and knowing they look and operate great.

Keeping you moto clean keeps unknown problems easier to see. Your eyes and hands go over every inch.
Thanks again!
Absolutely spot on mate someone who actually takes the time to show you all the bits and bobs and what to actually use aswell 👍👍🇬🇧

Great to see someone that actually takes care of their bikes.... love it

Been using my cart for a catch-all...not anymore! Setting it up to be a practical service cart like that. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for coming back
Everything was spot on. I just like to grease up those axles after every ride as well but not necessary. Great content, love these type of vids.
I learned a lot of great tips here. For my mountain bike maintenance also.

I’m HERE for it!
I already know how to clean a motorcycle, but I could a reminder to actually do it, and Cody knows a bunch that I don’t
Great video. I had a Husky once but couldn't keep it clean due to the Georgia red dirt......east coast problems. Not an issue with the orange KTM's though. I'm definitely impressed with your bike looking that good at 800 hours.
SC1 is the best thing since sliced bread. When I started riding I discovered it and I can't believe how long I lived without it lol.
always love the riding / related videos! its wild you are almost up to 800 hours on that machine!

Thanks, that chain cleaning part was really handy.
A new level of ocd cleaning and maint. Only way to get to 800hrs. Dirt bike yoda on point, well done!!!!!
The SC1 is gold. Spray that in am ATV/UTV and it looks great.
If mudding or a wet day leave it.
Dry day, wipe it off and dust wint stick and cleaning up after is easy
Awesome as always, I think I'm gonna start pulling my plastics at least every once in a while now and really detail the bike.
Love the content Cody, it always reminds me of what my father teaches me. Always well put together videos as well, keep it up!
Hi Mr W thanks for another great video. Im thankful for everything you teach us.
Thank. you,
Agree
Could you do a full review of your surefire backup torch if you have the time ? Really interested in one but would appreciate your opinion on it as a homestead pro ho edc torch !
Hehe, I missed the nametag when in-person. That's a cute touch.
The first rule of The Big ... 😏
Very nice. Looks like a project for my day off tomorrow! Haven't cleaned my Honda in 1200 miles... 😓
Something to add...make ya a PVC rack that holds your boots upside down, and you can spray them off/clean them at the same time. The rack hangs them upside down, so you can hit them without getting water into them.
As someone who rides 3 or more times a week, I do wash and re oil my air filters. I don't recommend the pre oiled ones
Very nice huskies love to run and run best when properly maintained
Thats actully insane attention to detail!
T-handels are a must!!! Especially on sportbikes with fairings. People never seem to take them off and clean. The amount of build up on most front sprockets is nutty.
Good to see a well maintained piece of equipment.....nicely done sir.
That clutch lever is sweet.
I just watched a 13 min vid of a man cleaning a te300. And was sad it ended so soon. Nice eork
Husqvarna is my dream bike. Great video
Great job, Cody! Good tips. I usually use kerosene to clean my chain and chain wax after I am finished, but I am riding mostly on tarmac. Who makes the disposable air filter? I would like to find one for my Versys 1000.
Ha ha, just finished cleaning my '18 KTM 300 after a morning ride. I clean it after almost every ride, it looks like new too.
Exceptional work. I like the convenience of the electric power washer.
great job. one problem with lubing your chain. spray the lube on the inside of the chain. spraying it on the outside just lets it fling off.
Could you do a video on your on bike tool kit?
Great video. What is that chain slack checker tool? And where can we find them.?
A tip from one moto guy to a proho: you can re-lube your chain with gear oil! 75w-90 works amazing, and a bottle of the stuff lasts a lot longer than those spray cans. Its not some crazy "lifehack" either, most motorcycle manuals up until now specified heavy gear oil for maintaining your chain
Cody- where do I get those little blue spray can spray tube holders / keepers that attach to the cans to not lose them??
Did bro really say that he replaces the air filter once a ride? Damn son, that's fancy money.
Thanks for the suggestions. How long do you take to wash it then?
You have to buff and polish to get the pro factory look. Thats what I was wanting to see is those tricks.Make it look new
Hi dude. Long term viewer and as things have come up, to show my support I've joined. God bless mate see you at the live later.
Super satisfying to watch. Only bad thing is now I don't want to get her dirty! Lol😂
Best lube for your chain is? Rear end gear oil for cars as tested by fortnine. Did you test your spokes?
Agreed. Checking for loose spokes is part of my inspection. True about the oil, but he mentioned he just wanted protection for the o-rings.
@@nobodynoone2500 yes
Are all the markings you have on your bike for types of oil and stuff permanent or just for video?
Permanent,
Good idea. Haven’t used many of those cleaning products over the years, but you recommend them?
Is anyone else having issues not getting notifications for new videos or livestreams? I have notifications set to all for this channel.
What foot pegs are you running??
Fastway,
That master link safety should be in the inner side! That way it will not be exposed and hit a rock or something ❤
Enjoy the bike videos mixed in 👍
Good stuff! Act accordingly 👍🏻💪🏻
Whats that Spraycan elastic tube holder?
Have you touched the engine at all top end rebuild or complete rebuild?
Are you doing this protocol if you commute?
🙏4U all
Cody, toward the end I saw Sharpie writing on parts. Is that dates of change-up? Hrs? Part #'s?

You didn't show so not sure if you did it but if you spread some grease on the mating surface of your air filter it seals up the connection real well.
Cody I'm curious, why two watches?
Impressive 👌👌
They sell these electric spray bottle heads, so instead of getting a hand cramp while having to spray down a large area you could just hold the trigger down and get a much more even spray on everything
Keep up the good work bro
Man you threw away clean air filter. My 300XC Has 1100 hours and I only clean the air filter when it gets very dirty. But I like everything else you do.
Another great video

how’s it going with the crf 250l
Just saying, I work at a bearing store, and many dirtbike wheel bearing failures come from using the pressure washer too intencevly and too close to the shafts and bearings(to wash the mud off). Pressurised water goes behind the seals and in to the bearings with dirt and the wearing begins.
Love the video as always
You no longer use Amsoil’s Mudslinger? You recommended it on a previous video and I found it works great.
Does that mountain bike ever hit the trails anymore?
I heard him say “this is a 2018 bike.” W/o batting an eye. I literally crapped myself when he said 12:50 “Looks pretty good for a 7 year old bike.” Ig my brain did not process how long ago 2018 was😂
Need more trail riding videos
What's the mske/model of that pressure washer? Thank you.
I can not find the airfilters for the life of me. Anyone know the exact brand of the filters? Thanks.
Give this man a thumbs up 👍
