Just got a CRF250X nice bike, but if my CRM is supposed to put out 40 bhp compared to a CRF250`s 30 or under! then my CRM is definitely sick, posted here before but it just runs out of steam top end! now I have compared another supposedly lower power bike I know the CRM just doesn`t give anywhere ne...

Went out today, first ride on the CRF, bike faultless ran really well, very noisy and lots of need to get used to mechanical noises!, but a very strong engine top suspension, but!!!! not sure if I am just too use to the CRM couch mode! but it seemed at first over the top for what I was doing, the CR...

Very nice! and a job well done, I would have done this when I was younger and didn`t have 2 kids, but I just bought a LT style one off eviBay for £35 stainless and very strong!!

Good effort from you though!!

Gave into Temptation, and got a CRF250X still got the CRM and I don`t think I will be selling it in the near future, nice to have two bikes in case one breaks!! still got one to go out on! this one http://s224.photobucket.com/user/jack_knows/media/T2eC16RHJIQE9qUHsjkIBRloNPGGk60_12_zps1c95e828.jpg.h...

Hi knackeredMk1, yes that's what I am thinking, I have had the rear shock rebuilt, and the front forks, bushes and seals, but a upgrade maybe the best way to go, rear end is fine so far but the forks are the limiting factor I think?

Eric was fine, it was not that fast an off, ruts everyone needs to learn ruts!! the hard way!!

A day out with a KTM 690 a KTM 250 exe a DTR125 and the trusty CRM250 Mk3

click the gear looking cog and choose 720p or higher

Went out with a couple of lads last Sunday! one on a brand new KTM 250exe and the other on a KTM 690. vid of the ride http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TmJN25sb8M make sure you click the cog looking icon and pick 720p or higher. Now I have been riding the CRM for 3 years on the trails and I think I ha...

Ah KnackeredMk1, that makes sense now, wondered why the size went up and down so much on the specs, its the stanchions not the sliders that these sizes point to!!

Thanks for pointing this out (took me a while to get it)

A days work, if your not a mechanic, start yourself up, people would pay big bucks to get that amount of work done in a month never mind a day, good on ya

[quote="Mudfacetony"][quote="xander77"]That lane always caught me out before!! might have to go up there next ride to make the ride "interesting" ;) first lane in the vid is that very lane!! https://vimeo.com/42937146[/quote] Is your CRM up for sale, or is the one in the video a look y likey?[/quote...

Oh yes that lane can bite, same as Pandy, every time I look at the track back makes me laugh route goes up Badi and then just gives up and comes back down, rode it quite a few times too. As long as you have the bodies and the energy you will be OK, does your head in when you get stuck and people jus...

I got my rear shock rebuilt, and it made a big difference, instead of the back end jumping about left and right up and down, I could defo feel more what the rear end was doing! and it was way more controlled!! rear shocks are expensive full rebuild cost me £80 so worth a try!

Can`t you drill it out slightly bigger and then just find a bleed nipple with a larger thread, there are plenty of different size bleed nipples to choose from! got to be worth a try, yes on the extractor if that snaps off its wire eroder time to get the hardened steel out!

Excellent I am thinking of this mod myself, AR forks are the same size as a Mk3? are they? what year did the CR forks go bigger than 45mm?
