Not doing this post-wash routine could RUIN your bike!

Your post-ride routine is the difference between a dirt bike that lasts and one that nickel-and-dimes you to death. In this video, Jay walks through the exact post-ride checklist we use on every bike that comes back to the DBTV shop — from the wash, to the shop floor, to the blue tape system that makes sure nothing gets forgotten before the next ride. We cover how to wash correctly (and why laying the bike over matters), what to blow off with compressed air, why you should pull the seat on modern bikes loaded with electronics, the right kind of lube to use on your chain after washing (hint: it's not chain lube), and the bolt checks that prevent catastrophic failures. Plus the inspection items most riders miss — front wheel rocking on KTMs, sprocket bolt torque, chain slack, air filter intervals, when your oil is overdue based on how it looks coming out, and why we bleed forks after every ride. If you've ever been the guy scrambling to get your bike ready the night before a last-minute ride, this is for you. Bike washing isn't just washing. It's prep for the next time you throw a leg over.
