New parts and service

This weekend i think i will be going dirt biking with a few friends of mine... Since the last time that i went, i have done some new modifications to my dirt bike that i am really happy about.... I first and for most i changed the exhaust of my bike, i put on a Leo Vince X3, it an exhaust that is mad in Italy and sound really good and loud. then i put on some new handle bars guards that will help save my hand, knuckles and fingers from getting that hard if i hit a tree or something like that.... Those two things make the bike look nicer and a lot louder then the stock exhaust was. Every time before you go ride you gotta change the oil and recharge the air filter. These dirt bikes are ridden really hard and they need there oil changed because of that fact and if you don't change the oil in the short turn you loose a lot of power and in the long term your engine might brake down on you and that cost a lot of money, so the best way to keep on top of this task is to check changing that oil because it only costs you like 20 dollars to change the oil when if you break the engine you are talking thousands of dollars. The first time i changed the oil, i really had no idea what i was doing but after reading books i learned how to do it. I learned that you should allways becareful when you tighen the bolts back on after you do the oil change because it they arnt tightend right, you may loose oil pressure and your bike may not run very well due to that. The next thing i did was i had to recharge the filter. This means that i need to clean it and put more spare on it so that dust dosn;t go into the motor. If dust goes into your motor, that can mean some very bad things. Just like not changing your oil this can cause some problems for your bike. I had to take certain things apart on the bike to get to the filter but it wasnt to tough to do so. After cleaning the filter and then spraying some stuff to protect it for the next ride i was back in business. My dirt bike was ready to go for another ride.

I cannot believe so much effort goes into just keeping your working after a ride. Thanks for the insight!
