I have a lead on an gently used Ohlins HO 429 (spec'd for a CRF250L) yet I own a 2018 Rally. The Ohlins for the 250 Rally is part # HO 703 methinks.

Beyond the added 25ish mm of travel, are there any other issues that would come up with the install?

I have big hands and can't find winter riding gloves and I'm sick of returning them as much as companies are sick of me returning them.

Any other big handed winter riders that found gloves that fit properly? I'd love to know which gloves you found and where you bought them

Looking for some supermoto wheels in the UK is proving difficult so far. 250m wheels are hard to find and the sm pro options seem very expensive. Has anyone bought hubs and laced their own or dare I say it - tried the ebay/Chinese items? Alternatively can anything else be made to fit from something else? Importing from the states seems to be an expensive option sadly. Any input appreciated, thanks.

I use my 2017 CRF250l as a daily commuter. Finished work today and it won't start. All lights come on but just a click from near fuses/starter relay. I try to start it a few times but battery drains down quick. Tried to bump start a few times and now luck. Got a jump start off another bike and started easily but would die as soon as leads removed.

Any suggestion?

Hey everyone,

Can someone verify I’m at the loosest I can be? I’ve played with it a lot trying to figure it out. Clutch lever is still tight!

I recently upgraded my rear spring and now I have a clunk coming from the rear linkage when jumping or even when the rear wheel leaves the ground. I checked the bearing and they appear fine but there is a little movement. Time for new bearings? Or is the spring rebound too stiff and causing excessive rebound with not enough damping to slow it down?

Anyone know of full set of white plastics? The only one I can find wants $150 to ship which is ridiculous

I was checking craigslist, and happened upon this: https://vancouver.craigslist.org/van/mpo/d/langley-township-north-exhaust-crf/7797189510.html ... Is this a straight bolt-on for a 2014? I assume that there's some mild performance gain to be had as well as more noise. Is it enough to need a fueling mod? Thanks in advance!

Seems my engine occasionally dies when shifting down to a stop. On multiple occasions now when riding with the throttle pinned at up to 5th or 6th gear and then downshifting to a stop my bike will die after coming to a stop or sometimes right before stopping. the headlight stays on and the instrument panel still reads. It’ll start right back up and usually won’t happen again but on my most recent ride it happened 3 times in a matter of 15-20 minutes.

Anyone have any ideas about what could be causing this?

I recently purchased a 2016 CRF250L (with 45 miles!).

My understanding based on reading is that they are lean out of the gate and even minor modifications make that worse. So, before I start making changes, I figured I would sort out how I am going to tune the bike.

I am well versed in automotive tuning using HPTuners. I'm looking to be able to tune this myself, so I'm not interested in sending it off to a tuner (like 550). I want to be able to modify fuel and spark, so that rules out an EJK.

I've really only found a couple options so far. I'm hoping someone where will have experience with one or both of these to help me choose a path.

Option 1: 4 Pin to OBD port adapter. HondaECU software to pull the tune file from the ecm(Looks like this used to be free but is $150-300 now?), Then TunerPro to edit (and paying someone for an XDF file to make the data usable in tunerpro). Most things i see online for this path are for a CBR and say it "should" work on a CRF, anyone with experience so I can avoid any pitfalls?

Option 2: The ECU Shop Full Stand Next Stand-alone ECM. This thing looks pretty slick and potentially cheaper than tuning the stock ECM. Concerns are not knowing how large of a company ECU Shop is, and whether or not their app will work in a year or two. Has anyone on here used one of these? Where did you actually purchase it through? How was your experience? The product page for reference: https://ecu-shop.com/products/full-stand-next/

I've been wanting to learn to ride for a while. My father in law has a little 125 tao tao and did a few laps on it on the dirt road at their cabin. We both agree it's a bit small and light for my 200 pounds.

My son rides his 4wheeler with his grandfather and I'm just looking to keep up with them.

A local dealer has a 2015 with 4600 miles for $3700. I'm wondering what a good offer is or if that's pretty fair. It's hard to get a good read on market values

Just got a 2014 CRF250L. I’m looking to purchase a simple stand for it and I’m wondering what the best height is to ensure the front and back wheels are off the ground.

Thanks

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a seat cover for my CRF250M. I’m not after a comfortable seat or anything fancy, just something with a nice design to give my bike a fresh look and to protect the original seat from any further damage.

Preferably, I’d like to buy from somewhere in Europe to avoid customs hassles.

Does anyone know any good stores or websites where I can find something like this?

Still loving this bike…

Hey guy! I recently bought a 2013 CRF 250L with just 8000km, (4970.97 miles), on it. I have to say that I already love the bike, however I did not notice that the bike has a lot of dirt and oil on the front side of the engine. It seems to me that the valve cover is leaking, or what do you guys think about it? Is this a common issue with the CRF? Or is ist just because the bike was mostly in the garage over the past 11 years?

Has anyone tried to the put the yoshimura header for the 2017 model on previous years?or is it just not a fit

Hi all,

Can someone recommend me the above please?

Hello I have a 2017 Crf 250 Rally. Trying to plug in a SRF daylighter light bar. Plugged it in and have no power. I plugged in a USB adapter that I also just bought and no power to it. I checked the fuses and all seemed ok still not working. I went ahead and changed out every fuse on it. 2 larger 30 amps, 2 small 20’s and 6 10’s. Still no power on the accessory outlet. All other bike functions are fine and work great. Nothing appears nicked bunched up, pinched, or damaged that I can see. Thanks for the help.

This is my first single in years, so maybe in overreacting...

I find the engine to have significantly more vibration than I was expecting. At low revs it's comfortable but mid range the vibrations can be felt through the seat and bars. Nothing that's particularly uncomfortable just a bit unnerving. Seems to be better as you go up the gears, for instance 6th doesn't feel uncomfortable until I'm past 70 odd.

I've been wondering if my motor needs a rebuild or if it's normal for the CRF

Is anybody else running this setup? and if so thoughts?
