Absolutely great video showcasing the many options you can do on the CRF250L (and other dual-sports). It would be great if you could also cover or discuss a big-bore kit (to 300 cc) and a windshield for those people (like myself) who will need to travel long distances via highways to trails and other off-road locations.
Which bike do you enjoy riding more off-road, the modified wr250r or the crf250l? On paper, the wr250r wins on the performance front with adjustable suspension, roughly 10% more power & approximately 30 lbs lighter, but is it worth the extra $1,700 assuming you do comparable mods on the final modded bikes?
***** Both are great bikes. The Yamaha has much better brakes and suspension... that's the main differences between the two bikes MHO. We've upgraded the brakes on our CRF and they are much better now... next up is the suspension.
I personally haven;t had a problem with the Megabomb header, but some people have. We get a lot of customers who order the PowerBomb header instead, which has a small power bulge, and it also comes with mounting hardware to re-use your stock heat shield.
SSBM4life on a bike like this, you can expect a 10-15% increase in power/torque. Its a naturally aspirated motor, so don't expect any more than that. It really does wake the bike up though, and the powerband is much smoother and more fun to ride. We get a lot of calls from customers that just want to tell us that they're riding a totally different bike now that they've done the performance package.
Wow, for what you guys spent on that Chinese made bike you could have bought another new bike. And worse yet, you forgot the most important part. A centerstand. What are you going to do when you have a flat tire? Those fancy looking parts aren't going to help you then. I have a highly modified Yamaha XT225 ($1000 in suspension alone) which has both a centerstand and a kickstarter (from the TT-R225), 4 gallon Clarke tank, rear rack, custom seat, higher than stock Renthal bars plus bar risers, 4mm thick inner tubes, and a lot of other things. I started with a used 3000 mile 2001 bike, and have less $$$ in it than a new stock CRF250L costs. Must be nice to be rich.
+vulcan1753 can't you say the same thing about any bike you modify LOL? Part of the fun is modifying a bike and tailoring it to your riding needs. The CRF is an inexpensive starting point for many riders, and then you can have some fun getting it setup exactly the way you want.
You sound like a whiny little bitch lol the crf250l is like 5k usd lol you could get it on payment plan for like 50 a month LOL get a fuckin job if your so damn poor
