Mud riding

[mulisha33]

Hey I went riding in the mud on saturday and it is the most fun ever!! Just wondering if there is any special maintenance that needs to be done after riding in the mud?
Cheers

yeh mate i try and give mine a bath at the servo nd then clean the air filter out in fuel and oil it up and the just lube your chain really well dude

 

[mulisha33]

Yeah man I Got it all nice and clean and that! I got told by a mate that cleaning the filter with fuel isnt very good cos the filter can expand. Is that true?

nah man, hed be talking out his bum
just give your filter a soak in some fuel and then hose it off thats what i always do too easy

as for the mud, all i can suggest it make sure she gets a good clean and make sure all your bolts are greased up

then you can go hard

Well he use to race so I thought he knew what he was talkin about but everyone else i have asked has said petrol is the way to go. Do u you need to wash the cover as well of just the filter?

 

[darb110]

just give it all a wash man clean it all up then youll get maximum flow

the uni filter packet says to use mineral turps to clean the filter

 

[darb110]

well mittz if you like to use mineral turps thats entirely your choice

I use fuel and it does the trick everytime perfect
