And the type of fluid Honda used was ss-8 my forks were kinda spongy so I put 30 wt. In it. Most people claim it stiffins theme but it just slow the compresion down witch in return feels stiffer on quick fire roads
Hmm. I think it will be ok then. The main riding area is about an hour away, and once I'm there I can stay off road for the most part. I'd like to be able to do DS rides like LA-Barstow-Vegas. I guess worst comes to worst, I could always throw on a big bore kit seeing as one is in development. But like I said, I enjoy the low price point and simplicity of this bike. Even Honda says oil change every 8K miles!
just wondering, with the clutch in, n stand down the bike should start right? i washed mine yesterday n now it refuses to start in anything but N with the stand down..even stopped in gear, with the clutch in, it still dies. any ideas?
My 250l has never started in gear with the stand down, it also wont stay running in gear, with the clutch in when you swing the stand down...been like that since mile 0
Looks good, and great idea .Got anymore pic's from different angle?, Does it make much of a difference? and How much to Canada if ya decide to produce them?...lol
There was some talk a couple pages back of people asking about folding shift levers. Just picked one up from Best Dual Sport Bikes. My review is the shifter looks nice and functions as it should from my rough measurements the shifter is basically the same size as the stock one.. It feels pretty much the same too maybe a little longer but not much to make any difference. Summary: Lite, Sweet looking shifter at a good price. Haven't laid the bike down yet so I can't speak on durability but I feel safer with this one on there as opposed to the non folding stock one. here are some photos of my rough measurements.
Was reading about a trio that did it on Honda Trail 90's. High speed.. er, Low Speed - Low drag? LOL Hoping to pick up my 250L end of the month.
Well I guess the drc brake light/turn indicator combo is coming sooner than I though <a href=http://s1274.photobucket.com/albums/y427/tommyrg/?action=view¤t=2012-12-10_17-40-00_427_zpsa7e0d967.jpg target=_blank><img src=https://www.advrider.com/advrider-photobucket-images/images/t/tommyrg_2012-12-10_17-40-00_427_zpsa7e0d967.jpg border=0 alt=></a> <a href=http://s1274.photobucket.com/albums/y427/tommyrg/?action=view¤t=2012-12-10_17-39-51_781_zps890cfc0a.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y427/tommyrg/2012-12-10_17-39-51_781_zps890cfc0a.jpg border=0 alt=></a> broke the tail light section in a wheely
Ha! I did that on my old triumph....only instead of breaking the tail light, I broke the whole damn bike. Lesson learned What have you guys done for a tach on the crf? Im going to cyclegear to get a tach/hourmeter tonight but I dont know how accurate it will be..... Also, opinions on the Ricochet and similar skidplates vs the TCI version that has engine guards as well? Rode to work today...wind chill is about 15F. That new Sedici Hotwired jacket is serving me quite well.
Figured Id share some pics....first dual sport. In the past its been an EX500, GS500, Daytona 675, R6, and a Versys Ill never go dual sport-less again. To you more experienced guys, how do you determine what is fair game and what is illegal/disrespectful as far as leaving the pavement goes? Never been offroad before....very fun. I tend to ride very casually 90% of the time and its nice enjoying the outdoors away from all the damn cars.
I ordered this kit late last Wednesday from CRF's Only and got it today (Monday) by FedEx.....talk about fast service! It installed easily and everything was a precision fit. I only had to cut three wires directly in front of the stock taillight and splice them to the stock wiring harness with the provided connectors. Everything else was just a bolt on. The LED taillight is plenty bright for as small as it is. I'm super pleased with it. I like things that go together right and fit right and Yoshimura's kit did just that. Very high quality all around. For those of you that are concerned with the weight of the CRFL, then something like this would seem to fit right in. I didn't weigh the before and after parts, but the weight savings is significant as I removed way more parts than I reinstalled. No pics yet but I can take pics if anyone is interested..... it looks just like the one on Yosh's website. . Overall, I'd give it a 10 on a scale of 1-10. If Yoshimura's pipes are as high quality as the fender eliminator kit, I may have to take a look at them when they come out.
Haha... I did the same to mine, not quite as bad as yours though. Go DRC! Welcome to the club! -------------- Here's a picture of the inside of the CRF250L airbox for anyone that is curious - decent overall. The oval opening is what goes directly to the throttle body, it is raised from the back of the airbox and is slightly trumpeted.
