Had a mental fart with my previous answer I posted. Deleted it out of embarrassment . Sorry, must be the past years of two stroke that killed my brain cells

OEM parts number for the 21 and 22 cylinder is the same

Anyone notice the 2022 comes with a 50 (2021 came with a 51) tooth rear sprocket?

The 21 came with a 48 t rear sprocket. I’ve ran a 13/49 set up since new.

I’ve never seen anything other than 13/48 listed. I went with the 49 to help with the low end power out of turns.

Most definitely weird lol. Both of my bikes came with a 48.I’m not sure why they have it listed two different ways.

Have any of y’all gotten any updates on arrival dates? I’m in VA. I’m being told 9/8. I’ll believe it when I see it.

I was told similar for mine showing up 1st week of Sept... he said ship date on Honda site said 8/23. I also will be surprised if it actually arrives first week of Sep.

The dealer told me the second week of September for the first batch.
Already thinking about picking up a seat cover and graphic kit.
Does anyone know if aftermarket air filters are available? The 250R filter is the same as the 450R.

On Yoshimura’s website, they are taking reserve orders on three different exhaust setups for the new crf250r. I reserved the slip on. I did not want to do full exhaust. I was told my bike will arrive sometime in October. Would not be surprised if delayed.

I will wait for Keefer or someone else to test out a few slip ons / systems. Surprisingly the Yosh is not always as good as the FMF for the 250.

But the Yosh look so sexy on the Honda, but I totally agree I will also wait for the reviews before buying a slip on.

Twin air are available, I ordered some with the airbox plastic cover.

I'll also wait for some testing with different exhaust, but Akrapovic are what I'm attracted to right now...

Does the powerflow kit make it easier to change the filter and keep the air box clean? I have it on my Yamaha and have gotten extra careful with keep dirt out of the air box.

I don't really know, I considered it, but I ordered standard air filter for a couple reason,

-OEM is easier to install, the powerflow add a screw
-OEM style filter are really easy to clean, there is no rubber gromet for a screw, only foam
-Oem is lighter!
-more option for air filter

One thing I will for sure do is remove the backfire screen. Since it is now attached in the airbox instead of on the filter cage, it's is harder to clean and when installing the filter, all your grease is just scrapping on it and clogging it.

Since the filter is now upside down, I don't think there is many risk of any dirt falling in the airboot, that is pretty genius IMO and with the twin air cover, it is a breeze to clean any airbox while powerwashing the bike.

How many CAD they were and did you order from an online or local store?

Are the two HRC boys on the 22 yet, or are the playing safe on their trusty 21,s.
This outdoor season no 2022 allowed. But they have been on it at the media day for sure.

No update from Honda to dealer in Sweden, so with that said, I guess first week in September is out of the question, keeping fingers crossed for late in September then!

I'm pretty sure I saw an interview with the Lawrence boys (or was it only Jett?) where they were asked if they will finnish the outdoor season on it and they replied that maybe, if it's clearly better.

With that said, maybe young boys don't always know the rules in America Smile

At Budd's Creek they still had twin pipes so old model. At this point in the season I doubt they would want to change. I am sure we will see the 2022 at A1 though, and I thought the Star bikes had a bigger advantage indoors than outdoors. Last year at Indy I thought Jett was getting out motored by the blue and green bikes.

From the first ride reviews it sounds like the frame is a little more compliant on the 2022 and the bike more stable so that may help next year when they go back outside.

yup and it sounds like they are very close to the yamaha in terms of initial torquey-like hit down low yet retaining their more superior top end, should be interesting to see the shootouts
