I just used the no toil air filter cleaner on my filter on dirtbike. I tried dish washing soap first and it didn't do sht except make the filter the color of the soap (green) Lol. I put the notoil cleaner powder in water and mixed it, Dropped the filter in it. After like 15 seconds it looked brand new.. Now I have to wait on it to dry so I can oil it
Here's the stuff for $20. Notoil air filter kit. It has air filter cleaner, air filter oil, and the rim grease.. Lol
Also here's my old rear wheel bearings. Pretty nasty. Also the wheel bearing seals were so bad they pretty much crumbled to pieces when I pulled them out.

R13 I got a question for you. What rear tire size is on those motocross bikes that makes the rear tire look real fat and mean. Idk how to say it lol. For example the rear tire in this picture looks sorta mean.. Stock tire size is like 100/90/19 I think.? Can I get like a 110/90/19 or something? Idk Lol

Yep, Just measure the space between you rear tire and the mud guard and the space between the side knobs and the chain, If you have around 2+ inches on the mud guard and 1-2 on the chain you'll be okay.
Side note: You'll probably notice the rear of the bike feels heavier at the track.
My XR had a fatass rear tire. 140/80/18

Lmao! Well I did find out my KTM has "Excel rims" Not sure if they are factory or not but when I was changing wheel bearings I noticed it has Excel with some other stuff on the rim in red but it was real faded so it's hard to read. I have 2 fingers inbetween side knob and chain, and 4 fingers inbetween tire and mud guard. I will say though the current one doesn't have the best tread so it could be even smaller distance with a new tire.
How can I know whether a spoke is to tight or to loose? I was told it was important to keep the spokes at the right setting i've been told you can tell by sound. But I maybe stupid Idk how the hell you know by sound with a screwdriver when you tap the side of it. Lol Is there any other way to know??

Well my air filter is back on and ready to go. Dish soap didn't do shit... Lol. It just turned it the color of the soap. I used the no toil air filter cleaner. I filled a bucket with about 4 inches of water. Poured 1/4 cup of the no toil cleaner in it and mixed. Dropped the air filter in the bucket. Within 15 seconds it looked brand new. It's magic xD Let it dry over night and poured the oil on it and than put rim grease around it. Ready to go, Lol. Now I got to get my new front tire mounted

Hmm, My UNI filters always come clean with dish soap...
Anyway, If you need tips on changing tires here's a good video on how to do it (Disregard the dual rim lock, You only need that on a street legal bike for better balance) , I can vouch for this guy, I hung out with him for a week last time I was FL and he knows his s*** well.
