Within the first minute I realized guy has no reason buying a race bike

Damn dude..sounds like you should have bought a trail bike.

Dude you sound like a quad rider 😂

wanting a dip stick is wild

Bro cable clutches are literally so much better😂😂 new cable clutches are as easy if not easier to pull😭😭

sweet bike! thanks for sharing your thoughts. here are some other points to note... in time, the aftermarket should offer better seat foam. Honda only went with Pirelli tires to save weight. they were able to declare that the 2022 model was 8 lbs lighter and the same as the Euro bikes. going back to Dunlops adds a few pounds but is a must. the soft walled Pirelli's require 2psi more air or you may pinch a tube). carbon fiber guards for the pipe and tank have been recommended elsewhere. Eli Tomac was ready to leave Yamaha last year if their new 450 got a hydraulic clutch, because he loves cable. cable gives better feel off the gate. cable allows the rider to see how much they are abusing the clutch, which also tells you how fast the oil is being contaminated. cable allows the lever to engage closer to the grip for better control and its easy to adjust on the fly. these motors are not like the old XR or TTR; the oil needs to be changed all the time. like every 5 hours. if your not doing that and running full synthetic, then don't buy a new bike in the first place. the bike will not burn enough oil in that time to need to add oil, so there is no need for a dipstick. having a dipstick encourages checking the oil while the bike is dirty, which guarantees a bit of contaminants will get in the engine. when we change the oil and add new oil we normally have the bike cleaned off. the OEM's were smart to get rid of the dipsticks. things that are an issue with this model include that the fork comes with horrible valving that desperately needs to be modified. pay for a re-valve so the front end settles in and tracks properly in the corners. drop the forks in the triple clamps to improve stability and go with softer springs if you are under 190 lbs. make sure the shock sag is at 105 to 106 mm. tighten the steering head inner nut to get slight drag at the bars, which acts as a cheap steering damper (but grease the bearings first!). buy a longer o-ring chain when stock wears out, so you can run the new chain with the rear axle all the way back near the stops. this makes the bike longer and helps both cornering and hi-speed handling. if you can afford it, get the flexi aftermarket engine mount kit which will help the front end hold traction and reduce unwanted feedback in stutter bumps. have fun guys!

2023 crf 250R...i bought a magura hydraulic clutch for mine..put padding under the seat cover..& bought a tusk t-45 back tire..all is good now.😁👍🔥

It's a nine plate clutch. Keeps cooler over any hydraulic set up.The pros chose that over a hydraulic one. And yes, you're a ranting C - Class Karen, at best!! Stay on the trails, with an XR.

I wouldn’t know anything about new bikes. I have a 2003 Honda xr250r and that’s all the bike I need.

Does your bike start right up with the choke pulled when it's cold? I have the same bike and when I want to start it I have to pull the choke hold the starter for 3 seconds then let go and wait 2 seconds then press starter again and it starts in 1-2 seconds but it starts instantly when it's warmed up. I see guys that just hit the starter with choke off an it starts right up. It still has the original gas that I got it with when I got it from the dealer so I'm hoping they didn't put the wrong octane gas in it or something stupid like that

I feel your pain, honda used to be all about the little things. I think alot of their good engineers left after the GFC in 2008.

My guy,all the other riders,who ride fast,like that bike,just like me,it kind of sounds like you want to be a trail rider rather than a track rider,plus,that bike is perfect for smaller riders,and it has great bottom end power,unlike the ktms/huskies/gas gasses

Not a honda fan boy but sounds like you could benefit from the moto academy alott of your issues would be fixed by just being in a proper riding position. But the stock tires are trash the tank is aluminum and its actually pretty durable but if you plan on woods riding get the plastic cover for it. The seat does break in quite nice after about 5 hours definitely needs a gripper seat cover though. And if you haven’t yet set the sag on the bike for your weight because its a night and day difference

love your videos!

Nice bike , would love to have one of them .

Make sure you buy a new chain for it too, I ride mine pretty hard through trails and tracks and my buddy races my bike too, so if you’re gonna be busting its balls everywhere definitely change the chain and chain the back tire. I rode mine literally half a mile down the road to hit a trail and already seen excessive amounts of wear and tear.

I have one n love it But I have suspension done n going with mx 14 for tire Seems to be perfect. Don’t need the hydro clutch when ya can lug the corners. It’s perfect the way it is. Mine is anyways

1st it's not all new. It's the 2022 down to the graphics 2nd thing your gonna hate the forks 3rd is its flame out far easier in tight trails 4th your gonna round the heads of the bolts on the body work as they are to shallow to get a good bite. 5th that muffler is as thing as an aluminum can and it will have a dent in it very soon from your boot. New tires adds 3-4 pounds back to this bike. I went from that to my 2023 ktm 300 but 1 thing I can tell you is you'll get a lot more time of riding vs wrenching on the honda and they look awesome as well.

Maybe should have bought a trailbike.

Buy a Gutts tall & soft seat with cover. Draw sharpie lines on it and shave it down with an orbital sander. You can make it more flat and the soft foam is heaven. Or buy a wing seat with soft foam

That’s east fork Mx right? I ride there sometimes,hills track is 100% the best

jeez has alot of things that id wish it had you have pointed out what i really like that it doesn't have not getting one in the near future!

Only a select few were meant to rip Hondas!

seat looks solid

He bought a new bike beczz 7month ago he use vegetable oil for engine oil, well i got entrain your crazzyyy dudeeeee

Dude I just grabbed a 2024 250RX. Picking it up end of June ;)

You Will ever do a 125 2t rebuild tutorial ?

I don't get why you're obsessed with the hydraulic clutch tbh. You didn't mention the clutch pull being hard on your hands or any of the typical things. Really is no need to go to a hydraulic clutch because everyone else is doing it.

Love it

My 2018 doesn’t have a dipstick it’s a race bike it doesn’t need one same as the seat

Post up when you trade this in for the crf125f you should have bought in the first place👍🏼

they probably put a cable clutch on it because of price point and because it requires 0 effort to pull it. so a hydro clutch has no benefit

You should make a chain out of all links and rip it see if holds up 😅

knew you were a bot as soon as i saw the helmet😂

My 2008 crf 450 don’t have the dip stick

Dipstick lol

Does he think the bars are ganna bite him

Honda is trying to be more trendy by making the bike worse

You didn't over jumped anything you landed on the face of the double that kids on 65's are clearing their sleep. Bud with all the complaining you are doing about three CRF250 I would of thought you was a decent rider. If there was a F class in the sport you would be it. Don't wiry about wearing out your rear tire you're not going that fast or riding that hard to wear down the tire. Bud if you want to get better in jumping and riding with speed and not complain so much and just be happy and greatful to ride, ride when the kids on 65's are on the track. They are animals. One last thing if your seat is too hard to sit on you're not riding enough.

dang bruh looks like you should just give it to me i would be more than appreciateedddd

2024 yz250f seat be like… Hold my beer

I proffer the cable. Easy to fix and the gas tank is light.

You need a 85cc first my boy 😂

buy a racing time hydraulic kit. seat will break in, get mx33's

Cable Clutch for the win

Love everything about the bike... except front brake. It just grabs to hard with touch of a finger..

Why would you waist your money on a 4puke anyway. You own a CR500 still don't you?

So why are you going from riding a CR500 and a CRF 450 to a CRF250 you're going backwards my man

just give it to me brotha ill take your problems away

they are waiting to put a hydraulic clutch on the 250s because they can charge 1500 dollars more. right now, they are waiting for inflation to fuck more things up to make you think you got a bigger bang for your buck when though it's only 200 dollar part.

Bro I would gladly trade you

ill take it

He needs to just go to ktm at this point. 😮

nice

When u burned your leg your toes should be on your legs not your heal on the peg 😂

The one thing l hate about the bike is you trying to ride it ! 😂

well i wish i had CRF250R so i can hate on it

The Pirrelli is by far better than the Dumblop. Looks to me like your front wheel was floating more than it was on the ground. . Buy Hoosier IMX25 tires.

Thats why when it comes to 4 strokes ill stick with my yamaha. All bikes have there pros and cons but as far as 4 strokes go yamaha is the king ive rode them all tried them all and yamaha is the best and thats an unbiased opinion because i love dirtbikes in general

the thing i hate about it is it aint 2 stroke. wake up honda

Hydraulic clutches cost more money. That’s the last thing we need is these bikes costing more. They are already overpriced.

Should of got the RX not a race bike

Why the hell you riding on the heels of your feet 🤦🏻‍♂️

Just keep the tire pressure low

Should've bought a KTM

Hydraulic clutch simple fix?..new tank simple but stupid and expensive .why I wonder are the tanks not plastic like most bikes like the yz

Can put nitro in a dirt bike plz

also dont buy a brand new bike if youre not even gonna get a quality helmet that helmet came from walmart

Omg haha dude it’s a dirt bike

this guys just complaining

1 . Its a four stroke 2. Its a Honda 3. Its a four stroke 4. Its a four stroke 5. Its a four stroke

Sounds like you need to take it back. Why did you buy it if you’re gonna whine about it all day?

Get better, that bike is too much power for a beginner like you

Damn bro, you should bought a trail bike!

Man you have more risk frying your clutch using Hydraulic. Do you know anything. I never realized you were such a winer. Have you gone Woke?

Send your CR500 and that 250f 4puke to Aj Waggoner at Built500. Turn your 250f 4puke into a CR500AF.

I don’t believe that’s a stock pipe. They are typically silver in color.

You are going to crash ! Take some lessons ! 😮

Motorcycles are not cars, they don't come with dip sticks son.

wah wah cry me a river

You’re a goon. Just buy a crf230 buddy.

KTM > Honda

iv had 2 Hondas 1 02 450 1 08 250, and let's just say I will never own another honda.
