Honda Crf 250L

[gregitt]

My apologies if this has alrady been discussed....

Have any of the taller / heavier owners having any issues with the suspension and seat height? I am 6' 3" (190cm) and 95Kg (210 lbs) and love the look of the Honda. If weight is an issue, would basic modifications solve this?

I am 208 pounds and feel the suspension is a little too stiff, although other heavys said they tightened the rear shock. I hear there are adjustable shocks coming for this bike. You are so tall I cannot imagine having a problem not reaching the ground. I have very short legs so I lowered my Honda and absoluted love it even more! Again, I am not an accomplished off road rider so my impressions are just an opinion.

I am 6' and 120k and the suspension is good for me as it is.

Measure your sag to be sure. You may be surprised how much better it is once adjusted properly. Factory set pre load is probably set for 70kg +/- 5 kg.

Lot's of info if you google "Rear suspension sag" or something similar.

Thanks Gents. That the suspension worries out of the way.

I heard mention that it feels uncomfortable to stand up on the bike for taller folk......... Anybody have any comments on that?

[gregitt]

I have a generic one inch riser set for mine....helped some....two inch would even be better I think....same size bolts/ risers for the Kawasaki D-tracker, Honda and others.

can I ask where you got the quote....thanks....

[taninthai]

Local Honda dealer ordered today should be with me in 3 days

Judging by the price they gave me you must be able to get a whole complete set of plastics for around 4,000 bht

Just a note the price given to me is cost price the dealer hasn't added anything on.

[thaicbr]

Any one know if and when a Supermoto version will be available from Honda?????

No offence intended but for the extra 15000 Baht you would be a fool not to buy a new one. Good luck anyway

No worries I partly agree with you however it's not easy to find them at 135k and certainly within at least a 300 kilometre radius from me they are priced at 145k not in any rush to sell so will just see how it goes.

[MYKTHEMIN]

Sounds a lot to me, I got mine for just under 130000, up here in Loei!

I asked yesterday at Mityon in Pattaya and was quoted 135K so im sure that all non-Mityons are much cheaper now-days....

[JoePai]

The initial rush is nearly over so the prices will fall

[taninthai]

For those that decided to drill a new hole in there shock should have waited lowering link now available lowers rear by 2 inches only seen in USA at the moment $130

As i no longer could get my hands on a GPX ZF250 i bought the Honda CRF250L today instead. A white/red/black. I love it. But i dont know why the hydraulic braking hose has to be so long. I have done 31Km hard breake-in according to http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm I REALLY, REALLY hope that this is not a hoax that will give me future problems with the engine. I paid 130,000b INCL ALL (tax, 1-year theft, registration, Number plate etc) at Bowin.

I hope to meet up with some of you fellow off-road bikers around Pattaya who might be able to show me some nice tracks around here...

[TramsRepus]

And i thought i did a great deal... Look at this

Yes, its a really long brake hose, but isn't this typical on dual sports (enduro)?

Oh, and its a good price too. Have fun with your new bike

[Sateev]

Not much use fitting an aftermarket ECU unless you change the exhaust and air filter.

...

Think you have this backward, should be: no use changing intake/exhaust flows unless you install an aftermarket (tuned) ECU.

Stock bikes are tuned lean for emissions compliance, NOT for peak performance. A properly modified ECU fuel map will make a LOT of difference all by itself...

[mania]

Congrats Trams

I must admit at first these looked so out of place on the street

but the more I see them converted to motards the more the look pretty good.

Great suspension

enjoy

[Nebula]

At the dealer where I go the cost is 127 000 with registration. ( not including the theft insurance).

[TramsRepus]

The bike does not looks like a brand new bike anymore.... But, I haven't had so much fun for a long time though.........
