CRF250F Can the stock trail bike handle a Motocross track? 

Tenho uma também, faço trilhas aqui no Brasil.

Rode one today, hit a bump in 3rd gear and bottomed out. Im 6’3 and 250 pounds, probably a good reason why.

@@BetaRacer24 suspension pretty soft but there's upgrades available. I'm going to modify mine

@@jtd315 ive been looking at stuff, dont seem much out there for these bikes

That would be a great video.....be sure to let us know they type of suspension mods.

Just about cleared every double, except for the one where I couldn't get enough speed coming out of the corner. Finishing up a bunch of mods and hopefully test out the bike next week.

@@jtd315 I'm curious. What mods did you do and did they help? Able to ride more aggressive/faster now? I hope it worked well for you.

​@@dr.x4050I have not yet tested the bike. I have an awesome suspension mechanic doing a custom front and rear suspension and doing the fine tuning adjustments and mods. I also did full viola exhaust, ejk tuner, modded air box, Twin air filter, 53 tooth sprocket, new bars, wide pegs.

It will do much better with those upgrades. Really the only downside afterwards is the bikes weight. The 250R is made with mostly aluminum where the 250F is steel.

@@jtd315try pulling in the clutch when cornering and then releasing with acceleration coming out of the corner to hit a quick jump.

What did you replace them with j am looking to do the exact thing

Thanks for sharing! How does the 250F do with maintenance if used on the track? Just change the oil often or does it need top-ends like on race bikes? I'll be worried about overheating. For suspension I can upgrade the springs and valving (I'm a dirt noob), but is the Showa 41mm too scrawny even if modified? I will rather practice on this before getting a race bike.

Maintenance on this bike is very low…oil change maybe every 4-5 ride…had no issues with over heating…shift like your supposed to and shouldn’t be a problem…don’t expect it to be a race bike it’s not…meant to be trail bike…I have only used mine with smaller table jumps/kickers…just shifting into 4th gear, sometimes a speedy 3rd gets me where i need to be…as far as replacing whole front suspension I have no idea there all I did was replace fork springs I side original forks and replace rear shock spring

@olivereyre5379 I think your best bet is to lower a crf250r. I had to go back to a 250r. The 250f just didn't have enough speed for mx, even after mods.

Suspension took a beating!

170lbs. Yes bottomed it out a bunch. Especially when I didn't clear the jumps.

I opted for used because I knew I would be doing some upgrades. Seemed like after dealer fees a new one was over 6k.

I just got a 2023 yesterday as my first bike, went to a few dealers and beat price I could get was 6600 otd, there are a lot of hidden dealer fees and you will have to negotiate. I was first quoted 8200 which I thought was laughable so I had to work it down.

@@Snippydust I ended up getting it for 5600 otd
