Honda CRF230F Bike Build
www.rockymountainatvmc.com/Sa...
Honda's CRF230F is a great bike, but we made it even better. See how we took our bulletproof 230 to the next level and built it up to compete with the other bikes in its class. Josh, one of our video team members, set out on building a 2015 Honda CRF230F into a do-it-all bike for his wife to ride on all different types of terrain. She’s a relatively new rider, and with her constantly increasing skills, it was important to find a bike that she wouldn’t outgrow in a few months. So, take a closer look as we go over all the parts and accessories we added to upgrade this Honda CRF230F!

Ran into a guy on Five Miles of Hell who was riding a 230F and literally slaying everything. Much respect for that bike.

I actually ran this bike on FMH and cleaned most everything accept for rider error. I (at the time mid 40s, 200lbs, A class rider) was going to use my then Husaberg FE501 but it was having engine trouble and went with the 230 I had brought along "just in case"... REALLY great choice. I have used this bike in unbelievably brutal trails rides and had a GREAT TIME. It's like a trials bike but with 100+ mile range. WAY under rated bike.

@@TheNutzandBoltz Most sources peg this (KLX300R) between 282 and 300lbs, wet, that I have found. Looks like the 2003 was 253 +- wet, but then it only had kick start which defeats the entire basis of looking at KLX. Elect Start is not where I'd be looking to cut weight, if you want to be able to finish a C and above class hare scramble.

I free rode and raced Mx, even a little bit of fmx for years. I then hung it up for a few years because frankly I fell out of love with it after so many injuries and surgeries. Risk vs reward just wasn’t tipping the scale towards staying in it. So I got into Harley’s just to cruise and soon after started stunting Harley’s lol. Anyways I wanted to get back into dirt biking, mainly trail riding. I bought a 2022 kx450f and obviously, that’s not the ideal trail bike for tech single track. Feels like handling a loaded gun while riding a bucking bull. Trying to tame that thing on tech trails was a handful. So I bought a crf230 and it may be one of the most fun motorcycles I have ever owned and I’m faster in the trails on the 230 than I’ve been on anything else.

Additionally an intake restrictor is used and an exhaust baffle is in place from stock. Rejetting, adding a new needle with more positions, and removing those restrictors is the "uncorking" process for the 230 and 150f and offers a very healthy power increase.

My main bike is a 2016 YZ450FX, but it's heavy and even after setting the sag and changing the linkage I still can barely reach the ground. The 230 is fun and super reliable.

I have done almost all of the same upgrades that you guys have done, like opened airbox, new air filter, re- jetted, i'm actually getting a new fmf exhaust for it in a few days, new handle bars, graphics, seat cover ,etc. They sure are very tough bikes, very reliable and as you said they last forever. I'm glad mines an older version just because it has a kick starter and is a bit lighter than the newer ones with batteries. Hope to see more how- to videos for that bike in future! Cheers!

I'm going to have to get him a bigger bike. I thought about giving him mine and moving up to a CRF250X. For the style of riding we do here in WV I don't know if I want to spend the extra money. I might try the upgrades and just get him a 230 also. I don't ride as hard as i used to and have been fine with the 230. I do wish it didn't feel so heavy when catching a little air.

I’ve been looking for a 230, even though it’s not a Kawasaki like what I prefer I still love the Honda for the prices. Soooooo how much for the bike? (I like it and I want it.) *ps I’ve been a huge fan of your videos*

@PALMER84ONE Жыл бұрын

I’ve had a 230 since 2006, bought it new. Back then there was Reger Engineering where you could install the CR USD forks on a modified triple (their top clamp and CR lower, 230 stem, their stop and caliper hanger) and for the rear, a works connection shock with external reservoir. Yes, I have all that on mine, and the T4 exhaust opened up air box and re-jetted. Bike has survived 6 kids plus fat dad (and all their friends as it became the “loaner”) probably has over 400 hrs, one valve adjust, 1 battery, 1 carb clean, and probably 6 sets of tires it’s whole life. I think now it needs a cosmetic plastic face lift since some of them are held on with zip ties LOL. Does the plastics on the 15 share the same mounting, if not, what would it take to upgrade, or does anyone make an aftermarket kit?

Did you do the plastics? I think the newer one will work fine except for the tank shrouds you will be missing one bolt , but ive read people use them like that

@@taylorc7138 no new plastics. Same since new and a little more beat up. Expensive to buy, never found aftermarket.

Question- Im a first time off road buyer. Been riding 1000cc street sport bikes for 15 years. I planned on getting the crf250x until i seen a review stating that the maintenance might cost any wear from 800 to 1000 per year. I really dont have time to be maintaining stuff. I live in MA and will be using it for trail riding. Maybe 20 to 30 hours a month. How is this compared to the X? Especially when it comes to maintenance? Thanks.

*loueber-* I would recommend you check out our How-To videos we have for each bike. Each bike is going to have their maintenance costs, with different intervals on when to change fluids and inspect valves. The CRF250x will provide more of your race bike power, yet still being trail ready. The CRF230f will be a little more tame in power, but can chug everywhere on the trails. The 230f's are great trail bikes. The CRF250x is a little more versatile and you could ride it on the trails one day, then the motocross track the next. Hope these videos help. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/equIjLGFrrm7pac.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o7qlZpOIqLXSmIk.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hpN1n6Zy2d7Un4k.html

loueber buy a 230!!! I was in a similar situation as was my cousin. I bought a 230. He bought a 250x. He’s rode my 8hrs on his x. I have over 100 on my f. He’s always paying someone to fix it. The extra performance isn’t worth the cost

These bikes have hardly changed over the years so many parts should fit that year. Just make sure you enter the make, model and year of your bike when looking at the products to know if it will fit. Thanks.

I have a 2004 crf 230f and am trying to customize it I need some help finding parts my grips are mushy, clutch seems weak, have a headlight and horn but can't seem to get them to work, and finding new plastics/fenders for the damn thing seems impossible, the part that holds the clutch lever to the bike won't hold steady and just rotates, I can't tighten it because it's a plastic screw AND JUST BENDS WHEN I TIGHTEN, there is a electrical wire running to the clutch lever so I'm afraid to change it, the thing weighs so much that I can barely pull it up using all my strength, it's hard to get immediate speed when racing or such and the head pipe is rusted to shit with a broken heat shield, it gets hot so quick that when I revved it twice after changing spark plugs it burnt me up just touching it and it doesn't make it any better that I don't have a lot of money to spend for a project like this, can anyone help me?
