Mx286 Added a reply to RM 250 VS CR 250

I’ve owned both bikes. Currently have a 06 CR 250. RM- Very good bike. Great motor and handling. Only thing to watch out for on them is the transmission. We had a 07 & 08 and they both after getting some hard riding on them started to pop in and out of the gears. CR- Another good bike. Handles just...

If I’m not mistaken I think I heard on Pulp they were talking about how he preferred more stock components instead of titanium. For example the engine hangers changing the feeling of the chassis. Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I think that’s what they said.

Showa A-Kit off a 2014 CRF 250. Low hours and in good shape. These have actually been sitting the past several years with no use. Currently set up for 140 lbs arenacross. Same setup that Factory Connection has on their Instagram that was posted this time last year for 8k. For more info contact 270-570-0641. $3,000

Seriously? He’s a pro rider and will never be eligible to ride the B class ever again.
This guy gets it. Unless your building a full blown race bike for a serious racer, what’s the point? Never understood why people spend so much money to save just a few lbs when it’s not going to gain hp or make them a bit faster. Want a light bike, go get a KTM.

I called Factory Connection and they told me that the forks would work on my 06 CR250, but the shock wouldn’t. There’s guys on here I’ve seen that made the shock work, not exactly sure how they did it though.

Hard to compare a factory bike to the bike available to the average consumer. The stock 450 is not a bad bike at all, BUT compared to all the other stock 450’s it ranks where it should in the shootouts. I was really let down the first time I rode one. Considered buying one before hand. Corners well but that’s...

Forks will work. As for the shock I’ve seen where people have made it work but will take some type of modification. You’d have to search for some info on that.
