Steveo 2018 crf250r: muffler mods

Looking foward for more I’m a huge fan of the new Honda’s.

I think some holes in those radiator braces would definitely help airflow and cut down a few oz of weight

Yeah that's it, only reason I didn't on the first ones is because I planned on doing it to the cnc cut ones, here's what the cnc cut ones look like.

Ohhhhh lots of air flow there. Can’t wait to see the final product. I love these threads with handmade parts

Love it! Awesome piece on the radiator.

I think you are running the Showa stabilizer upside down my man.. I am running it on my Husky so not apples to apples since it’s on a Honda but all the photos on the net show it the other way and I am running it the other way,

I actually think your right my dude haha! I'll have a look when I get home. Im guessing its a older model dampener as well judging by where my clicker is compared to yours and how it was on my old bike if that makes sense

Checked when I got home and it's the right way up as you guys have pictured and pointed out. Thanks guys

You know what, I think the dampener on my 2011 crf450 that I sold recently was like yours. The picture I posted was just from google. I get minor head shake on my current 2017 but the frame is sooooo much more stable than the 09-12 bikes and even 13-16, which was adequate. Haven't rode the new 250f (Really want to change that, dying to ride it!) but I hear the frame/suspension is one of the best in the class this year. It's cool they left the mounts for the dampener on though, I'd be willing to try if I had an extra one to bolt on.

Mate I can't compare it to the old bike. Stock suspension/chassis and brakes are way better, then the power difference compared with the old modded motor is better again and far more enjoyable to me. I definitely recommend trying a dampener if you can get your hands on one! I thought it was strange they didn't have one but left the mounts

Glad to hear you are enjoying the new 250. The 17-18 bikes were a huge step in the right direction for Honda. Glad they (other Japanese brands included) are finally listening to customer feedback instead of slapping the same shitty air forks etc. on year after year.

I just noticed I only put 2017 and not 2017 450. I'm not talking about the 2017 crf250 with the old frame haha. Our frames are more or less the same and it's awesome to hear the dampener makes it even better.

Bought these pegs of Facebook from another local cheap, worth every dollar and I got the bike back from the Cairns local suspension guru stillwell performance and I couldn't be happier with it, Sean did a great job.


With my tax return if I have enough funds after paying bills Ill get a rekluse torque drive complete clutch and that will be it, then just ride the wheels off it

Edit- I don't recommend buying the cmt exhaust caps either, brittle and I've already destroyed one and won't be replacing it. I do like the cmt number plate parts though for protection from lifting the graphics.

Good to see someone else from FNQ on here..where do you ride if you don’t mind me asking?

Mainly at the Edmonton track and have a few friends with tracks that we switch it up with. Been meaning to get back up to the Ravenshoe and Mareeba tracks but not really keen on the drive with places to ride alot closer. What about you mate where do you ride?

Pretty much just a private track up the Tableland’s. Been keen on hitting Edmonton haven’t been there since my racing days..what’s the go with practice there if you don’t mind me asking? Sweet scoot by the way. I’m an old 2 stroke dinasour here’s my work in progress

Mate that rm is fucking mint. I ride with some boys who are big Suzuki fans and they'd love it! Edmonton practice is normal day licence 30 bucks and if your not a member it's another 30 I'm pretty sure. We will definitely have to get together for a ride mate! I live on a cane farm in Gordonvale so when it's cut and replanting time we put in a big turn track that ruts up nice for a couple months you'll have to come for a ride, pm me and I'll add you on Facebook.

Cheers mate. Still a heap to do but more than happy with it! Turn track in the cane fields sounds epic! PM sent..

Hey mate nice build! Good to see another qld’er on here! I’m down the Sunshine Coast, just wondering what you thought of the cmt products? Did the shipping take long? I’m about to pull the trigger on 1 of their bashplates for my new yz450. Cheers

Haha no worries mate my number is 0411730461 send us a text and we will get it sorted out ?

A few weeks ago I decided to modify the mufflers and test it for a few weeks. It definitely has a louder note and has given it some more berries. I couldn't justify 1500+ for new pipes hence modifying the mufflers. Im going to mod the headers as well. Pictures speak for them self, cut old off and weld new on. It can be reversed back to stock.


It hasn't got any popping on decel either.
