Thanx a lot!!

I recently relocated to Virginia, so not a lot of time to dedicate to my lrp... After the dust settled, I saw that Scott had released their stabilizer, anyone install yet? I've heard they are awesome, wondering if they work with the stock bars. Quite a bit of cash, but I've heard the handling improvements make it worth it.

I just got the big gun evo r exhaust system, and I have two problems. One, it doesnt fit the factory header (at least without an exhaust gasket it doesn't fit, which I ruined trying to pry out of the factory pipe) and also, it does not retain the factory heat shield as far as I can work out. Am I the only one with this problem, or is this a common issue? I'm wondering if they sent me the wrong pipe.

Just purchased a new 2013 CRF250L today. Need a ride back up to the dealership to pick it up.
I guess I'm allowed to post in this thread now ?

I have the full system so I can't say if the exhaust fits onto the stock header, but as for the heat shield/white plate it will not fit. Only the fmf system comes with a bracket to fit the stock muffler shield. However if you purchase the big gun header you can use the stock header heat shield.

Just finished a 500km trip where I rode down to do some recon work on a sheep/beef station behind National Park (north island, NZ). Bike is stock with the exception of a 13t front sprocket. To summarize: the crf250l ( aka "Recon 1") handled twisty back country gravel roads, tight/steep single sheep tracks and everything else without a hitch. The IRC stock tires are fantastic in the drought conditions we are having. 750km's so far, I will change the oil and filter very shortly..... Can't wait to post some photos once I figure how to do the URL thing from my pix on photobucket.....

hey all,
so far i've dropped the bike on it's right side and broke the brake lever while unloading it the first time- damn that things heavy- especially when it leans away from you, and layed it down going into a rutted left hander and folded the shifter. no worries, its a dirt bike. i'm a klutz. these things happen. handguards, radiator guard and skid plate showed up shortly thereafter.

but it did get me wondering...
i haven't pulled the right side tank plastic off yet. is there anything that can be damaged up in there, and do we need to worry about protection on that side?
thanks guys!

There is the coolant reservoir, but far more important and fragile is the radiator. I want some case guards and hope that the team at B&B Engineering get working on a design soon!

I just put a Emperor Racing Rad Guard on my LRP. The fit and finish is very good. Getting the Hex head screw back in the lower part of the plastic was a pain but once I got it started it was A-OK.

I am sure that with me having short legs that rad guard will save me lots of heartache.

Looking good, realizing the pic is from a while ago. Hope you have been riding it, the "whiskers" are still on the tires!
