Hi Jeff...no tacho on the CRF, but according the calculator about 4720rpm (I'm running a slightly larger profile rear tyre) https://www.crfsonly.com/howto/gearing/motorcycle-gearing-calculator.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwasaki Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) 1 hour ago, Neilly said: No it's a Renthal Twin-Ring for a CRF250R with a conversion kit. BTW...There were a few subtle changes from the 2016 to the 2017...different airbox, throttle body and header pipe to name a few...so maybe the 2017 will pull top gear? OK thanks, I've not looked up yet on spec changes, I wouldn't expect info on changes to be given by sales staff. Your sprocket looks much better than original. Didn't know it can do 150 kph I was told 120. Edited December 1, 2017 by Kwasaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason for that...I killed my YSS shock the first ride home last time (it dumped all it's oil out thru the rebound adjuster)...it survived 5 years of abuse so I can't complain. I gave it to one of the guys I ride with and he's had it overhauled by YSS for 4k...new rod, seals and valve kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm jeff Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Neilly. Thanks for taking the time to post the gear / RPM charts. My bikes doing 5,000 RPM at 60 KPH in top , if rev counter and speedo are true. Its not a highway cruiser !. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDBKK Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 With 13/48 I could still ride from BKK > Pattaya - hit the trails for a few hours - Pattaya > BKK. Granted, my hands could get a bit numb sometimes with the vibes but I actually prefer just taking it easy and riding the back roads to avoid the crazy traffic. Proper touring I wouldn't entertain it. 14/45 is fine for lengthy journeys if mixing it with trails though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran with 13/44 for a long time...still plenty of speed for the road and good gearing off-road. I only switched to 13/48 when I got a road bike and there was no chance of me ever needing the 250L on the road Not sure what grips you have at the moment, but I had the same problem with numb hands, I got some Progrip Rally 714's and it solved the problem.

Kwasaki Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) Good read maybe no need for 300 l guess. http://www.hondaprokevin.com/2017-honda-crf250l-review-specs-motorcycle-dual-sport-bike-crf-250-l Anyone know why Thailand dealer put CRF250LDH ?

canthai55 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Mine is a 17 model. Definite improvement over previous models, but still down on power. Going with a CBR300 engine will increase torque by near 50% If I could only find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 250L was just right and 45,000 bht cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
