Here are some more information for Motorcycle Nut Bolt:
Dirt bike maintenance is easy once you know how. Motocross bikes, enduro bikes and pretty much all off-road motorcycles are high performance vehicles that will eventually break down and fail if maintenance is neglected. They can also become very dangerous to ride if left unchecked, so it's important you at least know the basics. It may cost you a bit of time and money to keep on top of things through regular maintenance but trust me it will save you a lot of problems and money in the long run, and when it comes time to sell your bike you will achieve a much higher re-sale price to go toward your next bike.
Here are some 'must do's'..
1) Wash it: Wash that dirty thing after each ride, preferably with a water blaster. Be careful not to spray water into the exhaust or directly onto wheel bearings, and don't spray too close to the radiator or you will bend the cooling fins.
2) Clean the air filter: The air filter prevents muck from getting into the internals of the engine. As a rule of thumb you need to clean the air filter after each ride. It makes it easier if you have a spare one that you've already cleaned so it's ready to go. Failure to clean the air filter can result in some major engine damage.
3) Check for loose nuts, bolts, spokes and chain: Run a spanner over all of the nuts and bolts to tighten up any loose ones. Because of the heavy vibrations that course through the entire bike and engine, nuts and bolts often rattle loose. These include the ones that hold the plastics to the frame, clutch and brake perches, seat bolts and disc brake bolts. Make sure you check the chain tension too as they stretch over time and need adjusting. Use chain lube to prolong the life of it. Spokes are very important to keep an eye on - if they become loose you can end up bending or buckling the actual rim costing you a fair amount of money to replace!
4) Piston replacement: Most people can't do this themselves but what you must do is keep a record of how many hours the bike has done. You can either use a diary and write it down, but the best way to do it is to install an hour meter on your bike which will automatically count the hours for you. Read the manual for your model of dirt bike to know when the piston and / or piston rings should be replaced. Once you reach the hour limit as written in the manual, book it in to the mechanics to get the job done. Failure to do this will result in the piston blowing and seizing your bike, costing you major dollars to fix!
5) Oil changes and radiator top ups: The engine oil usually needs to be replaced after every 5 hours of riding - again check your manual for exact intervals. It's important to use a high performance engine oil to keep the bike running at it's best and to prolong engine life. Check the radiator fluid level before each ride to prevent overheating due to low fluid levels.

Eight Tips To Gear Up To Motorcycle Season
(NAPS)—To steer this riding season in the right direction, you’ll want to make sure your motorcycle—and your motorcycle insurance policy—are in good working order before hitting the open road.
While you should always check your owner’s manual for specific guidelines, here are some general tips for getting ready:
1. Change the oil and filter. Many manufacturers recommend changing the oil and filter before storing a bike for any extended period of time and again when you bring it back out for riding season. Be sure to first start up the motor-cycle to warm the engine and then shut it off before changing the oil and filter.
2. Check the belt or chain. Make sure it is set to the manufacturer’s recommended tension. And if you have a chain, lubricate it.
3. Check nuts and bolts. Start off the riding season with a solid bike. Make sure everything is tight. “A well-maintained motorcycle not only assures a fun time, it can save you money by avoiding accidents, which helps to keep your insurance rates down,” says Rick Stern, motorcycle product manager, The Progressive Group of Insurance Companies.
4. Inspect tires. Look for any damage and also make sure each tire is inflated to the correct pres-sure. You’ve only got two tires, so for maximum stability it is very important to avoid under inflation as well as over inflation.
5. Look for fluid leaks. The easiest way to check for this is to look at the floor under the motor-cycle. Leaking oil or brake, radiator or clutch fluid can cause their own special problems. For example, being low on brake fluid could make it hard to stop your motor-cycle. You don’t want to find that out after you’re already on the road.
6. Check all lights. Make sure headlights, taillights, brake lights and turn signals are all functioning properly.
7. Brush up on your riding skills. Find a safe place to practice riding skills such as fast stops, figure eights, U-turns, etc., so you’re ready for the season. You’ll be glad you did.
8. Update your policy. Per-haps one of the most important things you can do at the start of the season is review your insurance coverage to be certain you, and your bike, are covered. Talk to your local independent insurance agent.

hello everyone?
i need to take the front wheel off my motorcycle but the allen bolts and spindle nuts have welded themselves solid! i have tried plenty of wd40 and an impact wrench,so apart from heating them does anyone have any ideas?
Get a ring spanner and a good length of metal pipe (make sure the pipe fits over the spanner). This will increase the leverage alot. I would just persevere, you'll be surprised how you can just go back to it after ten minutes and crack it.
Stunt riders perfect tricks with practice
The crisscrossed and concentric rubber marks on the pavement at the Thunder in the Rockies motorcycle rally tell the story.
