[QUOTE="rezrider, post: 15443, member: 79"] In the event you don't subscribe to Dirt Bike Magazine...here are a couple of tricks mentioned in the Sept's edition. 1) Tires - I also mentioned this on Bryce's thread on tire life. Use a knobby knife to extend the use/life of you tires. ALSO, they mention turning it around IF NOT A DIRECTIONAL tire. 2) TANK - Expanding the size of your (plastic) gas tank. Empty it of all gas, leave tank installed, pour boiling water into it (doesn't say how much) use about 10 pounds of air to help expand the plastic CAUTION/WARNING...they also say there are about 1 million ways to injure yourself by performing this activity so proceed with caution. 3) DUCT TAPE - In addition to the bailing wire and zip ties many of us carry is a slick way to carry duct tape...Clean the top of your front fender without leaving any type of film. tear off several strips of duct tape (roughly 12" long) and apply onto fender, place the rest of tape strips on top of each other each one a slightly shorter than the other to make it easier to peel off. 4) Grips - a) Use superglue to apply them permanently in place...must be quick about this and don't stop, once you've stopped the glue will dry then your done...regardless if grip is all the way on! b) Use wire even if grips are tight especially if riding in wet conditions as water can get between the grip and bars making it slick.
