Think of bikes, what's the first thing that comes to mind? For some people, it may be the latest models and the cool accessories. To me, what matters most is maintenance tips and riding techniques. I've had my bike fixed a couple of times before and it cost me an arm and a leg. So Dirt Bike magazine at least helps me watch out for signs that it's time to take my bike for an inspection. I'm a fan of Japanese bikes so the October issue is a real treat. It discusses the Suzuki RM250 and the Yamaha YZ250.
