Mk3 owning lurker

[Hario]

Hi All,

Ive been lurking around these forums for a while, ever since i picked up a mk3 in 2014.

Im based in England (Devon) where im a prolific trail rider on my Suzuki DR350, but bought the CRM to explore Japan where i often visit my wifes family. So i don't get to spend much time with her (the CRM i mean, not the wife) but appreciate her when i do (not that i don't appreciate my wife...)

If im honest, its the need for advice on some CRM troubles that has compelled me to finally register, but hopefully i can make up for this parasitic behavior some nice photos

A MK3 CRM, but the previous owner fitted AR model plastics


Out getting scared on landslide blocked trails

Welcome, ah Devon trail riding heaven, are they abysmally as anti trail biking in Japan?

I can't really understand any signs, or what anyone says, so its hard to be sure but generally people here seem to have a pretty relaxed attitude to such things. Mind you i don't really have much trouble in Devon either, i must just be very likeable (or perhaps oblivious).

Unlike the UK though, the Japanese maintain their mountain trails pretty well, its not uncommon to be on a twisty mountain dirt path in the arse end of nowhere and come across a brand new bit of crash barrier on a sharp turn that looks like it belongs on a motorway, i have hardly scratched the surface here though

Welcome in bud
Might be worth trying to contact this guy , he's a yank that's living in Japan and recently joined the forum . He said if any one needed any help to give him a shout viewtopic.php?f=15&t=10050
