Note the front fork and the exhaust position and it's clear that thai version is at least a couple of inches lower.
They did a similar thing with the Thai market 2017 CRF250L...on the front the tubes were the same length, but the internals were changed to drop it lower...on the rear you had to change the shock...but this could also be done with a different link

1500 km is a crazy time frame that would be a service every month for me,,,,,usually once a year enough for me , probably equals to some where between 8-10,000 km
Yeah but mine only ever gets ridden off road, plus I'm only there 6 months per year, so it normally works out about every 6 months

Page 47 http://campaigns.hondampe.com.au/Motorcycles/manuals/CRF230F.pdf says every 1000km for the CRF.
That's for the CRF230F...different animal
My PCX gets serviced once a year (very few miles in that year) and the CRF every 1,500km...coz I get it bl00dy hot

I assume there is an OME (Old Man Emu) equivilent for bikes?
Race Tech, Öhlins and YSS to name but a few...the original suspension fitted to the 250L is fine for 'light' off roading, but if you weigh more than 60kg and want to push on a bit then forget it...it doesn't take much to bottom out the rear shock and blow the front fork seals.
It's one of the main reasons why the KLX is more expensive...they chose to fit much better adjustable suspension to that bike.

I may stand corrected but isn't there a sticker on or near the CRF250 sub frame that states a weight limit of around 5kg on the carrier?
That doesn't seem much or right.
4.5kg for luggage actually...

CRF is a cheap dual sport.
And readily available here in Thailand...and if there were other options available that didn't require the selling of ones organs to fund the purchase I'd be more than happy. The CRF-L does what I ask it to do without too much complaining, and although it's not light it's not far off my old XR350 that I used to Enduro in UK many moons ago.

Only thing I have heard about is guys doing a lot of off road, with a luggage rack, and the rear sub frame breaks.
How much weight they carry, and how far to the rear, will have a definite impact on this.
A few have bent the frame where the foot pegs are attached...and also where the frame passes under the engine is flattens out quiet easily (even with a bash plate).

The material costs, look at any high grade alloy product and everything is expensive, including re-engineering everything, If you don't get the alloy right and the shape, the frame will crack.
Seeing as the CRF250X already has an ally frame I'm pretty sure it would be fairly straightforwad to do...and not overly expensive...they don't call the CRF250L the LRP for nothing (Little Red Pig).
The chances of it happening...slim to bu66er all

1. Should I face my fear, take extra care and go back to the bikes? If so are there places where I could rent a good quality helmet as opposed to the egg shells you get from the bike rental companies?
If you pass #1 of PoorSuckers list below and wish to hire a bike I would suggest you bring your own helmet (you won't get anything worth using from any of the rental companies)...no motorcycle license and/or limited experience then forget it

I think motoz are made in thailand..ive had both good and bad results with them, but seconds are sold off cheaply and i may have gotten one of those, usually seconds have the brand name ground off..but who knows for sure when you are buying stuff here....
Good call...just looked them up
QuoteMOTOZ tyres are made in Thailand in a privately owned factory that has been making motorcycle tyres for over 40 years. MOTOZ are the only off road tyres made by the factory.
Would certainly explain how he got a set of TRACTIONATOR ENDURO I/T for 2,800 instead of 6,900. But that said I'd use seconds at that price difference...I go thru a back tyre normally every three to four rides
-
Might have found a source in Thailand for MotoZ tyres...friend of mine sent me a couple of pic's last night...if they have the rear Tractionator to match the stack of fronts on the left then it will be cheap option for you. I'm told he got a set for 2,800 for his CRF...waiting on more info at the moment. A lot of peeps rate the Tractionator highly

And, once you reach that point, things then begin to go downhill rapidly; I hope Thailand has the wisdom to not let it get that far.

and you have a vastly different engine.
Very true...and the CRF is geared diffenently (too tall for off road, but okay for asphalt tho)
But the stating point was just a (under powered) commuter bike...to quote wiki...
Quotethe CBR250R enters at the opposite end of the market, as a budget priced beginner or utility bike, practical and fuel efficient, but with limited sporting pretensions

Now I am not a big following of motorcycle racing, but as far as I know there is a 250cc class. I found this extract and assume the same would apply to all classes and that is how they sell bikes. Am I wrong?
2010: Moto2 replaces the 250cc GP class. All engines are built for Moto2 by Honda and are four-stroke 600cc in-line four-cylinder producing ~125 bhp and rev up to 16000 rpm.

A cush drive is a part of a motorcycle or scooter drive-train that is designed to reduce stress from engine torque damaging other components during gear or throttle changes
Popular thinking is that's why they fitted the judder spring clutch set-up to the 250L instead of a cush-drive...smoothes things out for the noobs who aren't used to clutch control

THEN ANY GUY OUT THERE CAN SIT IN THE DRIVERS SEAT...
I'm also 6ft...and the problem was the damn hump they stuck on the seat...until I changed the seat I had to sit on top of it or behind it because it was too cramped/uncomfotable to sit in front of it

I'll bet that over 90% of the readers/viewers of this post have no intention, nor the funds to purchase these types of bikes you photographed. We are living in Thailand for Gods sake and using these bikes in the ity only or on the highways is just plain idiotic.
You sound remarkably like my 84 year old mother...she doesn't like 'real' bikes either
And you have missed the point entirely...

Anyone know why Thailand dealer put CRF250LDH
About the only difference I could think of would be that the 2017 Thai version is 40mm lower than the rest of the world.
If you want to raise yours up to the 2013~2016 height have a read here...
CRF450L
in Motorcycles in Thailand
Posted
From what I've read over the last few days the 450L engine is based on the 450X, and not the 450R...32,000km rebuild times would relate to approx 500hrs. Still waiting to see the official HP figures, but if they are in the high 30's or low 40's then I'm in...that of course is "if" it's shipped here, and they don't add another 200k to the price tag.
I did bring my Yam WR450F here about ten years, but couldn't get it plated and it used to run very hot if you were in tight stuff (small rad & no fan) so sold it on...regretted it ever since...if the 450L does make it here at a sensible price then I'll be a happy chap
