different applications require different lube. for example you want a very sticky chain lube for road applications and for offroad you want a creamy non sticky lube that will release dirt and mud but also wont just wash off in rain or water. I have no doubt gear oil works but I also have no doubt there is products that are far superior. a can of motul lube is also only like 15$ cad and lasts for many many years.

Lotsa love to you guys! You always have fun and I enjoy cheering for your personal triumphs. On that note, how about taking hard times through to the end, you're almost there! It could just be running rich for your climate. It looked to be smoking a little too much at idle also. Check the jetting chart or pull the air filter out for one lap around town to see if it leans up. It would make great content and we don't want to say that Jake runs whenever he faces hard times. God bless y'all with the merriest Christmas! I love you guys! If it makes you feel any better I just ran my snowmobile for an hour today in town to purge my oil line after the oil injection started working again. It smoked like crazy til it cleared the lines out and started sucking the new oil I put in. I got it for $200 after sitting for many years. We're motor heads, this is what we do, you got this Bro! Love ya All, your family is just like mine 😊

Sweet, c’mon Hard Times, you can do it!

It is a woods bike. They do tend to have more low rpm power and not rev very high, and the extra 50cc (over a 250), helps too. Now I see why they made it a 6 speed. It is running about as rich as a stock 2-stroke with a carb does. With those low rpm's, I would not be surprised if your ring gaps are still in spec. Hopefully, the plating is still good, and only spend as much as $150.00 for a new piston/rings, and rub it in to the 4-stroke guys. I had a cylinder plated (1997 KX250), in 1999 at US Chrome, and that was only $150.00 back then. That is still a nice bike IMO. You do good work, and both of you make a rational and entertaining vid. Very enjoyable. :)

So I mean b.c. of that aspect i would actually like to keep it and sell off my crf450r dirtbike I did a full build on.

@@jenniesgarage you can get away with 50:1 on that engine if you use a good synthetic oil. You can get a little bit better high-RPM performance by dialing in the jetting. It will seem a little bit "lean" compared to the jet sizes in a 250 motocross bike, but it definitely sounds like it's a little rich on the needle and main. I want to say that a 168-170 main would be a good starting point. But definitely pull apart the carb and see what you have.

So they stick a bigger main jet in it , because no one ever changes the idle jet, then the next thing they start messing with is the needle hight , and then start adjusting air screw then the idle adjuster …. Then it’s all down hill from that point and it starts getting neglected and then they sell it .

Gear oil is fairly widely recommended in manuals. The bike is definitely supposed to have grunt down low, its made for the woods and enduro stuff. Should still feel like a 2 stroke though, basically just a little bigger KDX. If you have a title or if it is easy to get one I would say 1800 is fair.

You guys are local! I go out to prairie city all the time! As well as mammoth bar, Foresthill etc..

Chain care: Personally, for a standard chain (not a O-ring chain), I like the blast the heck out of the chain with a pressure washer until it is clean, (and full or water). Then I use WD-40 (Stands for "Water Displacement- 40th formula", to get all the water out of the chain. Wipe it as dry as you can, then add the chain lube, (I like the Maxima chain wax). That rear sprocket still looks really good. If that chain was rusty, it will probably stretch real fast. IMO, it would be best to put on a new chain now.
