    What is the rear Excel rim from? I spoke to Excel America and they said they did not have a rear rim for the 250f. The front is the same as the 230. Did you have a part number for the rear? Thanks

    • @TeamBennyRides
      @TeamBennyRides 2 роки тому +5

      So what I did was send the wheels to a shop that laced black Excel rims to the original CRF250F hubs with larger spokes in the back wheel (they are like push bike spokes) ! . I made the rear a 2.15-18 (they come with a 1.85 wide rim) so it’s the same width/rim as the bigger bikes. Improved traction heaps ! Front has original spokes with larger nipples for the Excel rim. They do use a few parts leftover from the 230F, rims,foot pegs etc. The rims fitted the bike fine with no issues on the back wheel with swing arm and pipe clearances.
      So basically the rear rim is the same as if you were buying and mounting it on a 250/450R if that makes sense.
      Hope this helps mate, good luck 👍

    - MPE modified forks and shock - worth every penny! Amazing results!
    - Lithium battery
    - Airbox mod and twin air filter
    - DID Xring chain
    - CRF150R gear shifter (Hammerhead) - longer and allows you to lift the shifter without hitting the case.
    - DRC footpegs
    - Pro taper bars and grips + bark busters
    - Anker risers from Hyperlite moto
    - Anker light pull clutch kit - was ligher, but changed the bite position and ran out of adjustment. Removed as I didn't like the late bite.
    - Anker frame guards from Hyperlite moto

      All comes down to weather you want simplicity with the air cooled , low maintenance and super reliable 250F or more technology in the 300. If you loved the XR back in the day then I think I might know the answer 😬

    • @TeamBennyRides
      @TeamBennyRides 2 роки тому +1

      Thanks very much ! I sent it to my local suspension experts at MPE Suspension in Caloundra QLD, AUS, and they said most of the work was done on the valving in the forks and rear shock once it had the correct spring rate for your weight. The valve work is the important part here as there is no adjustment after it has been done so it’s not something I just purchased and fitted myself. A good suspension shop will know exactly what to do ! It gave it really good compression and rebound as if you had clickers on your forks !
      And as I said it’s a very affordable way to get good gains from average suspension as shims and fork oil are not expensive.
      They are a great bike with a little help 🤩

      Front spokes are original with larger nipples to fit the new rim, rear spokes are larger with bigger nipples to suit the rim too.
      The wheel shop drilled out the spoke holes in the rear hub only to accommodate the larger spokes (wasn’t much)
      The rear spokes are what you would find on a bigger bike like a CRF450 for example so way stronger 👌
      Hope this helps Brad,
      Good luck with your build 🍻

    Hi, love the vid and all the mods you've done to the bike. Couple questions, is yoshimura still making the rs2 for the crf250f, how did you find out about it getting discontinued. Also, not to a specific number, but what type of upgrades do you think I should do to suspension. 95kgs and looking to start enduro/trail riding for fun. Been riding casually since a kid, but I'm not too extreme on a bike. Cheers mate, sorry for the massive comment and love the content

    • @TeamBennyRides
      @TeamBennyRides 2 роки тому +2

      The Yoshi distributor said they had discontinued the 250F pipe so anything left in warehouses or stores is what’s left unfortunately. FMF still make one.
      95 kg might need a fork spring upgrade with some shim work to complement it and maybe a spring rate up on the shock (possibly). Best advice is find a local suspension shop and ask for advice, tell them what your riding style is and they will adjust it to suit.
      Good luck

    Could you provide a link to the hand guards? I can't seem to find many that say they are compatible with this bike. So I'm assuming yo made some fit or know which other model is compatible?

      You can run the Yoshi without the EJK if you leave the airbox alone (read the details on Yoshi's website). Once you mod the airbox, you will need a tuner. I ran the pipe on it's on and eventually modded the airbox and added the EJK.

      EFI motor on these bad boys, no carby to be seen Mark, another reason why they are so smooth to ride. We can remap or buy upgrades for them which does improve power from what I’ve read on other sites but I haven’t yet as it goes well with the pipe upgrade only at this point 👍

      @markalan4026 Рік тому +1

      @@TeamBennyRides Thats right, I completely forgot these 250F's are fuel injected. And yes, with the opened up exhaust, remapping the ECU would be a good idea for sure, especially if you're looking for more power.
      Because of strict emissions laws, these modern bikes typically come on the lean side from the factory as it is, and the opened pipe will only make it worse, as I'm guessing you're already well aware of.
      Anyways, thats a pretty cool bike, I like the changes you've made too!
      I started looking at this particular bike because I'm looking for something better for my uncle, he's still clinging to his old 86 XR250R. I've been trying to convince him to update to something a bit newer. He's in his mid 50's and the suspension on his XR is shot, watching him bounce around off every little bump makes me cringe lol.
      I think he's grown accustomed to the crappy ride, and learned to compensate for that. But if he jumped on a CRF250F with the sag adjusted for his weight, he would probably be amazed at how well it handles.

      I ride the CRF maybe once a month depending on the riding were doing, so not that much less.
      We ride here nearly every weekend when we can.

    Would this be a better bike to begin on than a beta xtrainer?

    • @bennyrides
      @bennyrides  9 місяців тому

      That’s really down to budget, the Beta is more capable, but if you are starting out the Honda is a more affordable entry point to make sure you enjoy riding, most people I’ve ridden with started on an air cooled non adjustable suspension Jap bike… That being said if you have the money for the Beta I’d go that way.

      I think it’s genuine Honda part but I’m trying to find out from my dealer that I bought it from, stay tuned 👍

      Headlight is factory Honda and is standard with Aus and NZ bikes... check out more recent videos where we have listed the part number if you are chasing one.
