Anybody have a crf250r or crf450r set up for woods, enduro, gncc, etc? If so, put a picture up. I want to get ideas for my bike for the upcoming gncc season.

I talked to a Honda dealer buddy today and he said that a new CRF250x should be on its way soon. I'm tempted to get a YZ250FX to do a Baja trip like Peelout and your general moto practice days/harescrambles.

I would MUCH rather get a Honda.

I like the idea of electric start on a 250 because then I can throw the wife on it down the road. Plus for a pipe and cam I could turn a 250x into a R for moto and still have the e-start.

For the River Ranch GNCC in 2013 all I did was put hand guards on my bike. Ran full MX suspension from Factory Connection and didnt even touch a clicker. 108mm sag and mx32's front and rear.

Worked good enough for me to win the +30B class.

Buy a 82 it250. Send the motor to Eric Gorr (port job). Order race tech emulators, gold valve shock + springs. Add yz250 pipe. Smoke everyone on 30+ yr old bike . Cost $1500.00 total. How you feel priceless! How your competition feels, hate you. Your bike will never depreciate.
Good luck

I dont use mine for woods only MX, but I know someone who does, he loves the ease of changing maps easy on the 2015, get to a tricky slippery section... easy change the map to mellow and makes for less wheelspin, then back to aggressive mode when the going is more open or more tractable.....thats what he said anyways...

A 250f for a Baja trip is probably one of the worst Idea's I've ever heard. After jumping up to a 450 for desert/single track/woods/enduro type riding a 250f just seems dumb. Then again I do weigh around 200lbs.

I've had 450's and they're just not fun to ride IMO. The 250Fx I mentioned has a wide ratio 6 speed tranny, so for clipping down roads it has a high 6th. I think it would be an absolute blast

I'm at a point in my life where I want to be able to do everything well. And I thought I had that in my KTM 250sx. Killed moto, was killer in the woods.... but idk, it wasn't great mixing gas mid ride. I would never take a 2t down south of the boarder... so I'm looking to get a 4t that I can moto on of I'm tired of the 125 for a while but still have a enduro/Baja able bike too

I bought an X in 2007, put a R cam, pipe rejetted, it was no R still. Sold it to a friends wife about a month into it. I hope they put forth a better effort into the new x that is supposedly coming.

I rode this for a few years. Basically stock except for suspension and a little motor work.Tuning the ecu was probably the best thing I could have done. It started in gear nearly every time.

This is exactly how I want mine to look. I just can't make up my mind on the IMS or Acerbis tank. I like the looks of the IMS but people say they are super wide on the Hondas.

A couple buddies of mine tried both before settling on the clarke. Those others are super wide or the filler is a ball buster. I got the clarke even though i had a deal for 1/2 off on the acerbis

My 250r. Mapping change, gearing & normal offroad goodies makes it a great woods bike.



My 250x. Very capable offroad race bike with the right mods & suspension. All around fun bike to ride. Probably one of my favorites.

Did you get it remapped by tokyo mods? I've been looking around and they are the only ones that seem legit.

Oh ok. And did you stick with the stock gearing? I remember asking you on your bike check but you said you might change it up.

Just got my acerbis 2.7 gallon tank in the mail today for my 2012 crf250r. As I was changing it, I noticed there were two o-rings on the stock tank...The one on the fuel pump itself and the one that sits inside of the groove in the stock tank. Do I need to put both of them into the acerbis tank, or only the one on the fuel pump?

I can't recall to be honest. If they all fit, I would use both.

So funny you say this above. Been looking to put a IT250 motor with Eric Gorr porting/head work into a CRF250X chassis. If I cind the right deal on one I'm going to build it... I'll put Vforce reeds in it too... air cooled motor in a modern chassis with little weight.
Should be easy to do and a blast to ride...
