I was just curious if anybody pulls the chain slider while cleaning the dirt machine?
And or any other tips that may help out this here green horn?

High pressure soap straight down the exhaust pipe...does wonders for performance. :roflol:

I pulled my slider on this last wash and noticed that there is some were under it from all this sand riding would be my guess.
My right fork was leaking so I dropped the outer seals and used the smallest feeler gauge I have to clean under the fork seals and all kinds of sand came out with a cleaning solvent.
Put it back together and seems to have done the trick. Wont know for sure till I ride it again. But I did lose like a 1/8 cup on the right side.:facepalm1: Is my guess by the looks of my truck bed.

Dang acca your supposed to wait for april 1 and say the best way to port and polish your carb is to run a hand full of fine sand through the carb while the motor is a about 5500 rpm.
It will clean and port your intake.:lol8: for better flow and mega horsies.
