Hello everyone, new to the site. My name is Andy, I just bought myself a mk3 crm and its the second crm250 I have owned. Its fairly stock (I think) with red guards, white boards and purple airbox. I will be making a few more posts regarding mods and a few minor issues I have.

hi andy the mk3 is a great bike I'v got 1 it handles the road and green laning really well am sure you will like yours two.

Hi Andy, welcome to the site.

not been off road yet, only road but handles like a broken trolley jack!! Im planning on rebuilding the front forks asap, when braking they go down and stay down! a bit unsure about the tyres too but my other crm (2.2) was fantastic!

I had this problem too get the bike in the air and loosen the spindle and all the jam bolts if the forks move out it means the spindle was held in to tight then just re tighten everything and test it. That might not be the problem but it was for me also whilst the bike is in the air bleed them to hope this helps.
