Can The CRF230F Handle This Big Adventure?!

- More travel-shredding on the CRF230F! This time I made some changes to the way I carry gear, so I can carry a pretty large amount of camera gear. Ended up recording about 200GB of footage because of that... Also fixed the jetting issue from last episode (too easy). Went out and made an adventure edit with my friends, and then did some raw shredding with plenty of crashing!

Torture Test Magazine is an e-magazine which documents, in fine detail, the stories of bikes subjected to a real-world reliability test known as "the torture test." In the magazine, the torture test is conducted on a bike until it mechanically fails so badly that it can no longer run. Why? Because bike reviews based on a few hours of test riding are not satisfying enough. We want to know exactly how reliable a bike is, and how it will eventually fail. Simply put, Torture Test Magazine brings you the world's most detailed reliability and cost of ownership reviews for motorcycles.

put viagra in the fuel tank to see if it enhances wheelies for more than 4 hours
Do baja trip all the way to los cabos
Id like to see you ride over hwy 4 through calaveras county next time you do that trip and we'll ride! Ill even buy you a set of tires 👈 thedoylebrand@gmail also.. your buddy needs to make his own vid titled "How to ride a Drz 400" 👍
HOW TO WHEELIE A CRF230f !😂
MX track 😁
Dude you're definitely one of those guys that prove 80% rider/20% bike😁.
Lol! Thank you
The sound of the old XL brings back so many memories, they have a very unique sounds
Just found your videos and have been going back and watching many of them. I have to say you really haul ass on that 230..I thought they where slow off road...who knew they could hold up. Stay safe .
I wish it could hold up. I've cracked the frame from riding that bike too hard. It's repaired now but breaking it in half will always be in the back of my mind...
It cracked? Is it okey now??
Yes, I had it repaired by a frame builder and repairman. Cost half as much as a new frame but the previously cracked area is now warrantied.
Tested cbd on my "butcheeks" lmao I'm dyin 😂
Hahah I had to include that minor detail
Love the video Love the channel love the content. I have a crf230 as well and love it. That bike can do so much more then people think
Really amazing work, thanks for posting the gear you used. Next year I'd like to start using better camera footage myself. Posting to youtube is fun, but they are also my own memories I want to capture better
You're welcome, thanks for watching
Thanks for the answer. I keep putting off doing a trip as I always worry about something (usually small); sounds like I need to make a bike toolkit and JUST DO IT! =P
Man i look forward to your vids ! Great content with brilliant factual information
Thanks for watching!
Awesome. I was thinking about getting a headlight for my crf. Any recommendations and did you need a new stater?
U should make a video of how to wheelie a crf230f!! Or just explain it perfectly in one of your videos, please !! I have a crf230f , but I’m a beginner-intermediate rider.
Use the back brake to balance. the mud guard need to be 6 inches from the ground. just walk the along slowly anyone can wheelie fast slowly is the trick
Great video really liked it! Do you ever thought about a 4 to 4.5 gallon tank? I know it’s a lot of fuel when you want to ride trails, but you’re riding out west. More fuel!!
Hey man I have the same bike and I was wondering what oil you ran
Are you using the Motion Pro cable that came with the 01--0054 throttle or a different cable on your OKO PWK? If so, how did you go about removing that plastic sheath guide thing that attaches to the carb end of the cable?
Man I literally just started riding because I was gifted an '04 and you make it look so easy haha
What’s your chain sprocket set up on your CRF230F?, In my case I’ve lowered the rear sprocket to a 45 tooth and has helped with riding around town and some highway, while still being able to have fun at the foot of the Andes, though when going passed 12,000 feet, the original 50 tooth seems a necessity
How often you clean the inner filtersystem of the crf 230 engine?
Cheers from Vermont!
Question, does it have enough power for 2nd, 3rd gear powerslides offroad? THX
Great videos! I’m perplexed how you get 70 mpg out of that bike. My uncorked but otherwise stock 2014 crf230 only gets around 40 mpg.
120 main jet.
Because a good portion of the trip was just cruising half throttle on paved roads
Another great video👍
Thanks!
Love your vids
Thanks!!
Can anybody tell what jetting to use on my 05 230f with an fmf pipe? It has 132 and 42 in the carb now but seems to run hot???
You dont use a skidplate,does it overheat with a skid? I would miss a skid if i run with my 200 Beta Alp or my KLR 250 between the rocks.I am very intrested for a CRF230 ....
Hey, Bro, I see that you have an OKO Carburetor, which one do you have, and isn't that a 2 Stroke Carb?
What carb is that do you like it better ?
Excellent video! I love your channel. Do you think a WR250R could handle this off road abuse, doing this trails and so on? I see a DRZ-400 in the video too so I wonder. I like the 230F. I've ridden it. It's excellent (low maintenance, huge low rev torque, etc) but seems not the best bike for long trips with luggage so I was looking to the WR250R with some mods to achieve both goals (off road and some asphalt trips). What do you think?
I think the wr250r would work beautifully for this type of stuff. I've ridden them plenty and they're a great platform. Sure that bike has some weight to it, but it's still physically compact, so it's easy to get down and dirty
@@TortureTestMagazine thank you for your quick response! And again thank you for this channel. It's awesome
This video actually makes me miss my old drz400 aha
I know this video is older, but I was wondering what kind sprocket sizes you were running to get those cruising speeds?
14/44 - a modified engine helps pull that ratio

Can someone tell me what track this is starting at 5:12 and ending at 8:31
all i took from this video is that drz's are sick ay
Why not a 230L? Street legal from factory, a sixth gear, full subframe for gear, suspension for gear or occasional 2up, and a rear disc brake.
Good question. I looked into trading over to a 230L before I made my 230F street legal and I found the 230L to be less suitable for most of the riding I do. The lighting and all that street legal equipment on the 230L is quite breakable, so it would need to be re-done to how my 230F is now. No time saved on being street legal from the factory in that case. The 230F also has a 6 speed transmission and similar subframe. The 230L suspension is even worse than the 230F, since the L has about 30% less rear travel. But that disc brake on the 230L, that would be a nice thing to have!
Dude, you don't have a skid plate on that thing? I have the Hyde, it's awesome! Made of plastic, very durable and under $100.
What speedo you got on there?
I like the music part too
I weigh 200 pounds and ride an xr80 because my atc200 is a nightmare in rocky singletrack. Does amazing goin downhill. Wheezes going up lol
Hey buddy, if you ever down in Peru, we need to ride up to “Markahuasi “ a Rock forest above the clouds up at 13,000 feet high. Cheers 👌🏻🙌🏻
Sounds good!
Where's a good place for dirtbike camping?
Google Maps, satellite view has been my best tool for finding camping spots. Sometimes Forest Service and BLM website maps can help you to identify public lands that are almost all open to "dispersed camping." Check with the local USFS or BLM offices to make sure if you want. I used this method to find an awesome meadow to camp in while we were in Oregon during the eclipse. Every developed campsite was PACKED to the gills, but my spot turned out to be awesome, easy to get to, uncrowded and right on the line of maximum eclipse. I found the spot in the video here along Hwy 108 where Gabe got the awesome drone shots. That area appears to be loaded with good possible camping spots. www.google.com/maps/place/38%C2%B020'25.6%22N+119%C2%B047'42.6%22W/@38.34045,-119.7957132,124m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x0:0x0!7e2!8m2!3d38.3404498!4d-119.7951657?hl=en
Subscribed biased on the intro 👍🏻
Thanks for the sub!
Slr 230 have metal bash plate ,,that will fit a 230f
So why the 230 instead of 250. I hear Thier a better geared all around bike ..trails & dirt.n street .. imagine sooner or later will be boring it out anyways or wonder about a barrel swap..when needed or could afford..just seems 230 for adv.rides is kinda small n dull
I'm having a great time on the 230
THE CRF230F ITS A WONDERFUL MOTORCYCLE I HAVE ONE,
Wait is that bike street legal?
Also what's your opinion on more knobby tires? You seem to like the Pirelli trials tires but have you done anything on that bike with knobbies?

Thanks for the answer, hope ISIS doesn't show up. Waiting for the tools video :)
Next Mod: Seat Concepts seat!!!!! Your @ss and taint will be happy campers.
I have the low "comfort" model on my drz400, it's definitely low comfort like they claim. However, I thought they were referring to the seat height when I dished out $347 bucks for it. It definitely looks nice though!
Race against 125s on a mx circuit
Fun video. Please put a crossbar pad on your handlebars! Learn from an old guy. You dont need it until you need it. Thank you again for all the detailed info too.
Safety Police at it again. How is he going to learn if he doesn't break a few ribs?
I need to dig up the one I had before. It had a cutout so I could still see the odometer lol
Thanks for the vid, keeping you at a 10% dislike ratio. 🍻 So, would the xr250 to better overall compared to the 230?
Thanks haha. The XR has way more performance potential than the 230. I just need to fix it up
I enjoyed this video so much I gave it a thumbs down. 💯✌️
Hahah thank you!
Why did people dislike this video I thought everyone loves seeing dirt bikes get tortured
I asked people to dislike it to a 10:1 like to dislike ratio :)
Love the vids but I still miss the old frickin' Jim
Excellent video Gabe! I liked your perspective on deciding "when the bike is ready" to head out on a bigger trip. Like everyone says, "it doesn't become an adventure until things stop following the plan." Being ready to improvise and figuring out how to deal with those unplanned surprises is probably the best form of preparation. BTW, I gave you a DISLIKE on this video, for good luck!
Thanks for the dislike haha!
@@TortureTestMagazine Sure, anytime, my pleasure ! 😂
Hit that dislike for 60:6. Hope this works 😂
Thanks haha we'll see
It was hard for me to do... but I clicked the dislike button to keep you close to that 10% dislike ratio. You're welcome?? Hahaha... oh and the riding looked awesome too :)
