Owning a motocross bike is much like having a stubborn child who likes to play in outdoors, loves to get dirty in the mud and run in muddy water. This is the reason why you need to keep a full eye on the performance as well as the condition just as we take care of a stubborn kid. 

You need to check every nook and corner of the body while cleaning for dust or mud accumulation or the possible damages that it might suffer. With the following tips, you can ensure that your Yamaha motocross bikes Queensland run in the best possible manner every time.

Washing after every use

• One of the best steps that you can take to ensure long life of your machine is washing it after every use. 

• This washing doesn’t mean taking it to your nearest Yamaha Australia service center and getting it cleaned thoroughly. 

• This actually means doing this task casually through DIY with the help of a couple of buckets full of water and a gentle scrubber or a sponge. 

• At the time of cleaning, you need to be very casual and soft and check that you don’t force the water in the electrical fittings. 

• You can put a cover over the carburetor and then start the cleaning process and after it has been finished, you need to leave the machine to dry on its own.

• After drying, its inspection time as you’ll have to see that no oil is dripping out from the machine.

Checking the drive chain for excessive mud and dirt

• In the morning, wipe it using a nylon brush before applying grease or high-quality chain lube for lubrication. 

The chain for slack

• The next part to check in this version of Yamaha Australia machines is the chain for slack.

• There should be sufficient space for compensating the suspension movement. 

• This means that it should be too tight or too loose to affect the performance of Yamaha motocross bikes Queensland.

Checking and tightening the loose bolts

• As the bikes and Yamaha jetski run, a great amount of vibration takes place that can let the nut bolts go loose. 

• This happens to be another very important task that you need to do as these loose nuts and bolts can weaken the structure.

• You should also check the throttle and clutch cables for fraying or any other issue.

• Next, you should rotate the handlebar through its full range and check if the RPM is rising. If it is seriously increasing, you should use additional freeplay to the throttle cable.
