My second hare scramble ever. Riding a 2015 CRF230 at Brushy Mountain, NC. This race is part of the NCHSA series - great series. Running a Hagon Shock and Bruce Triplett modified front forks this time.
Nice job I love the 230 I'm actually building one now,so far I got cr 85 front and rear suspension,relocated battery, big bore, high compression piston, ported, cr85 carb,fmf head pipe and much more coming for it. I think they are awesome trail weapons, Don the get me wrong it is on the slower side, but it goes slow real good in tight and technical stuff, if I want to go fast or change the pace, I hop on my cr 500, cr 265, have fun with man love the videos, I done a few hair scrambles with mine, and had more fun on it, especially when I'm tractor in up stuff the fancy new bike can't lol
nice course and riding ,some tight parts look like trails ive made ,im running 12/52 gearing I do less open track riding and stock shocks with HD front springs , im 75 kg they don't feel too bad 128 mj & 48 pj with a full procircuit system BBR cdi ,fantastic bikes love riding mine ,I could imagine with good shock upgrades these bikes would be even nicer ,cheers great clip I have a few crf clips among my posts
I just bought an 05 crf230f today! Great video!! I live 20 minutes from brushy! Do you have anything done to your bike! My front forks feel really soft, are all of them that way?
Hey man, congrats! I had a ton of fun on this bike but don't get to ride it much any more. Yes, they are all that way. My bike has modified front forks by a guy here in NC named Bruce Triplett. The rear shock is aftermarket Hagon shock. Besides that, just a rejetted carb, opened up airbox and some bolt on mods.
excellent, I recently bought a 2017 and wanting to know pointers on jetting and or if need a power up needle as well, I'm approx 400 ft above sea level. Was thinking on the lines of a 118 or 120 main jet and possibly leave the 42 slow in without a needle change. Any advice would be appreciated.
I'm sorry, I never did an actual review of these upgrades. The main reason is I don't really know enough about suspensions to properly break down the differences in a video. All I really know is what feels better and what doesn't.
@@TheDrRoss From what I recall, it wasn't as soft, didn't bottom as easy, rear shock didn't "buck" as much. Honestly, it's been more than 4 years since I've rode the 230 with stock suspension. I don't really remember what it felt like, just my impressions at the time.
@@SoftwareDevJason riding hare scrambles is the most fun I've ever had on a dirbike. Just a bunch of like minded people getting together to test their riding stamina and skills. Who cares what place you get.
Why is everyone sitting around on their bikes watching you go by? Those guys quit? On the hill climbs there was a lot of them. Strange that people run these big ass bikes. It seems like a little KX100 or even a big wheel RM85 would be a better choice than BIG BIKE 450.
I'm guessing most were tired. Get stuck in the middle of a hill a few times, you can wear yourself out pretty quick struggling to pick your bike up. Also some may not have paced themselves. This was a 90 minute race.
I did, but decided to modify the baffle/diffuser and leave it in. The intake snorkel is removed. I've got a residential neighborhood behind my house that I try not to piss off too much :) I talk about it some in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-svuCW2UHuXw.html
