We give you a quick overview/impression of the new Triumph TF 250-X at Fox Raceway. As always, if you have any questions about this machine, please go to keeferinctesting.com and hit the contact button.
having just ridden one recently on a demo day here in uk, i loved it, front end feel is great, gearing i felt up a tooth on the back, apart from a little customising, bars etc, and tyres, great bike, and i think im sold
Pretty funny coincidence that you said this about the Pirellis and pressure. I’ve had 2 flats over the past two weekends and after the second time looked inside the tire and the inner carcass is split wearing a hole in the tubes. Always ran 12.5-13 PSI. Too late for the Pirelli now but I’ll keep the Dunlops dialed in. This tire is smoked haha. -From the used to be fat Honda guy
@@jd43tv56 LOL. Vet guys will buy them. Crazy though! It's really the only thing wrong with the bike IMO. I'm curious to see if the reliability will hold up to Keefer!
@jake981 I'm for it lmao! Triumph rules... I've road raced all jap bikes, a BMW and a Triumph and gotta say the fit and finish on the Triumph was miles ahead of everyone else... reliability was on par w Japanese too.. I'd love to get my hands on one of these
Jesus, 4 hour life on that tire?! Wtf! 😅 On another note, got the Mx3s for my 23’ yz250f as you recommended. That and the mx14 for the rear. Can’t wait to see the difference on my local sand track versus the stock tires.
Off topic. But you posted online about the 2023 kawi hydro clutch/lever PN# 43015-0742 would work on crf450r. Would that work on a 2020 crf450r or only the 23’?
@@grant27combs You would think having some leverage (wider bars) would help but I’ve found (as well as others) that 810-812mm makes it harder to lean/corner bike. 800-804mm seems to be a good leverage ratio for most riders/bikes. Might be worth a try?
Loved 996s on my Yamaha, on new ktm went with 827s (same bend no crossbar) for the vibration. They felt like ape hangers for some reason. Then went to 839s, almost exact same bend but 10mm less wide. Standing up accelerating they felt a little narrow at first but that went away after 1 moto, & they felt 10x better immediately when cornering seated. Much better overall & im a lanky 6’3.
