BACKGROUND:
Got a 1998 CR250R (standard dirt bike) pretty much stock. Live in northern NY (Potsdam) and plan on using it during the winter. Plan is to warm it up with a heater fan when I want to use it. Temps range from -10-30 for the winter and will probably snow. the tarp is big enough to cover the bike completely and tuck under the wheels.

QUESTIONS:
Is it cool to leave out in below freezing temps under a tarp? Should I prop the bike off the ground even if I plan on using it 3-7x a wk? I got a block o wood and metal lifter stand.

Thanks for your time

Hey folks,

I'm going to be cleaning my bike and was wondering if a power hose (like 3-4k psi) was bad for the bike? I got a 98 dirtbike and had a lot of Oil around the muffler/expansion tube.

in general, what parts of the bike do you want to focus on in order to get a dirty bike clean?


thanks



not my bike, just cool

It can bad on anything plastic. We had some of Nero's RM250 fender flake. In general, for a dirt bike, you really want to focus in on any nooks in the frame and underneath the fenders. You'll find dirt like you wouldn't believe, and then some more.

so you think that if i take off the fenders/seat/gas tank. seal up the pipes/air filter/gas tank, I should be good?

here is my tentative route. I have none of the roads planned out yet, so if you know anyone who has done a trip similar. I am very flexible in the planning... I pretty much just want to start planning out something that starts in Malaysia

I had no idea about Myanmar, and I have no intentions on getting into Korea, I know some people in Vladivostok and could hitch a ride back to the states on a boat if I made it there.
