To say I am exhausted at this point is an understatement, this build has been a long time coming.. Introducing the CRF250F "Works Edition" With an almost unlimited budget we left no bolt unturned transforming this entry level trail bike into a single track weapon.
Majority of parts can be found on hyperlitemoto.com
Regulars on the channel will know that I have had this bike for well over a year now and a lot of these modifications I have done along the way. In the beginning my main focus was fixing the suspension. These bikes are sprung for kids and my big a** just wasn't having a good time bottoming out over every little pebble so I reached out to Bruce's Suspension and he got me dialed in with an aftermarket rear shock sprung to my weight, custom damper rods, flute extenders and heavier fork springs.
The next most important thing on the list for me was protection and we have just about every guard that you can buy for this bike, from the new SXS skid plate to all of the Anker and AMX protective parts straight out of Brazil, this air cooled 250cc engine is well shielded from the elements.
One of the most expensive upgrades that I did recently was send a pair of stock hubs out to Dubya in California to get powder coated and laced in a new set of D.I.D. Dirt Star Wheels. On top of an all black plastic kit and graphics from Kalair this bike is completely unrecognizable..
Another big upgrade is the cockpit, we added a set of Flexx handlebars from the Faast company and a pair of heavy duty hand guards from Molecule Motorsports. We also changed up our lighting and I made custom brackets to mount a slim light bar and fork wrap turn signals to give it a sleek streamline look.
We are still not finished but I am happy with the progress made and this new look is incredible. Also big thanks to Kenda powersports for providing a set of Parker DT tires for the build I look forward to doing a full review on them.
Special thanks to Rocky Mountain ATV/MC, Nick from ‪@urbexcross‬ , Amsoil, Vonkat, and onX off-road.

So cool to see someone give this bike it's due. That is a great bike, especially for shorter riders. It's more fun to ride a slow fast than a fast bike slow. I've always loved the low-end torque on those air-cooled engines. Awesome job Tanner. Maybe hold onto this bike for a while 😊

My, My, My, WOW!!! DUDE! HOLY CROW! That is by far and away the Coolest Honda and or dual sport, I have ever seen! I haven’t watched your channel in a bit, but I tuned in after all the tornadoes that rolled through lately and thought of you, because you had a video about the ones a while back and it brought back sad memories for me for those involved. Your video in reference was good, despite the tragedy. I’m so glad you are doing well and thriving. I wrote you before and I’m the guy in Vermont and I am lucky enough to have a KLX 250 and 300 and I have tricked them out a bit, But nothing like that! So many quotes I could say! Off the hook, off the chain, bad ass etc! I’m Stunned! I agree with your girl, That’s insane! My quote before she said it! You could build these and sell them, I’ll be first in line. And I thought I was a bit off thinking about tricking out my bikes. I Absolutely Love it, Stunning beyond my imagination. My best to you and yours! Thanks!

I agree with all you say about the 450's, I had one myself, I had the 450X version, So it was crazy fast, and fun ln more open trails but. thats all it wanted to do, I had an XR250 way back and remember nothing but big smiles I have a Beta 300rr now and wonder about the 200rr LOL, Looking forward to the ride video.

@Monjar3 Ай бұрын

I ended up getting my wife a KLX 140 with full-size wheels. Great size, great weight, it tractors nicely, and it is so hard to stall. Very easy to mod for more power and throttle response when she needs it. I'm very happy with it and she was ripping on it. She wiped out once which slowed her down for a bit out of fear but pushed through it.

Maybe what you’re looking for is a wr250r. 15 pounds heavier than your Honda after you remove the nonsense items, but 10 more ponies and a 6 speed. They are pretty reliable too. Love what you did with the Honda though. It sure is a beautiful and capable machine. Congrats on coming completing the build! Enjoy!

Thanks for the bike build. If I can get the suspension working better, it would be an even better ride. I went with the Hagon shock and Bruce's front fork modification and heavier spring, but it's way too stiff. What lighter weight spring did you get?

@usmc03 Ай бұрын

It's just not built for the type of riding we do. It puked it's guts out all over the ground underneath my bike. I thought I had cracked the case because there was so much oil. They did replace it, no questions asked. Awesome Customer Service. If they could make it beefier, it would be awesome. I did like the way it rode. I'm now on the Tuscany shock and it's the best out of all of them so far, plus it raises the rear end, more travel, and more adjustment. Definitely recommend it. Your bike turned out great. I have those flex bars on one of my other bikes. Try blue compression and yellow rebound with 3 threads sticking out of the nut. THATs the ticket!!!!

@cwalton56 Ай бұрын

@@usmc03 I have been looking into the Tuscany shock as well. I bought the Hagon and I don't like it, it's too stiff. I also want a better front fork setup, I bought the set up and spring from Bruce, but it too was way too stiff. I need softer front springs I'm guessing.

I just don't get it. CRF250F = $5000. Plus all your performance upgrades (not including your cosmetic and protection upgrades) cost at least $3500 - not including the cost of time for installation! Now what do you have? A $8500+ bike that can be plated in some but not all states, and still has LESS horsepower, LESS torque, harder clutch, weak forks, LESS shock performance, LESS suspension travel, cheap brakes, LESS fuel capacity, NO speedometer, NO GPS, NO Traction Control, and NO fuel mapping - when you could have gotten a Beta 350 RS, that has all of these things and more right out off the showroom floor - for not all that much more. And then you could have spent all the time you spent researching, ordering, and installing - riding instead. And you had to upgrade your upgraded parts more than once because you weren't satisfied with your original upgrades - which ups your cost even more! Is it that you prefer a 'kit' bike - for the fun of upgrading it? Or that you like underpowered bikes with suspension that will always be lacking in travel and performance? Or is it because CRF250F videos are a fun way to pay the bills? That is actually not a bad reason! But why would such videos be so popular? I suspect they provide affirmation to other CRF250F owners (who bought their bikes because of price) who are yearning for affirmation about how fantastic their bike could be - if they add almost as much in aftermarket upgrade parts as the bike originally cost. What did I miss?
