Appreciate this video was made 4 years ago now but I’m looking for some advice! Just got a 2018 crf250r, has the map modes and electric start, going to be doing light enduro/ trail riding, what are some good starting modifications to make to make the bike more enduro friendly? I’ve seen videos on other bikes for a weighted flywheel but can’t seem to find one for my bike and year! ( watched the whole series and loved it btw) also would you recommend downsizing rear sprocket or upsizing?
Hi Jack, I have the same bike, 2015 Crf250r, and I did an almost identical enduro build, I have 2 questions, one being how did you ultimately work the headlight around the steering stabilizer, and 2 have you had cooling problems? My bike seems to overheat way to easily and I have a boyeson water pump plus aftermarket radiators that are supposed to be better for cooling.
I ended up just removing the steering dampener, and I wouldn't say I had cooling problems, but it definitely didn't handle getting hot as well as my current 4 stroke. biggest bang for buck was getting a higher pressure rated cap to stop it from boiling over so soon
Yeah mate, I think for memory I went up a few teeth in the rear for faster acceleration to help with slower technical riding, I don’t do much open road/high speed stuff
Weighted flywheel or an auto clutch would be a great help against stalling on tight single tracks. Anything after that is a luxury, such as lights or tugged straps. It all depends what type of riding you do.
Did you ever get the suspension set up for trail/enduro riding? If so was it a big improvement? Seems like a lot of people dislike the air forks. I just got a '15 and so far don't mind them on a motocross track, but they did seem to have more stiction than spring forks.
Awesome work with your video series and upgrades. I want to upgrade my crf2013 with a rekluse clutch and i am confused which one to choose. Do they have different sets and if so, which one would you recommend?
hey mate sorry for the late reply, yes rekluse have different types of clutches, one being the auto clutch like I installed and the other being a normal style clutch. the choice is yours on what you'd prefer and it really depends the type of riding you want to do.
Oscar Alvarez I didn’t change the gearing at all, but the easiest way would be to go for a smaller sprocket in the rear or larger in the front of you want a higher top speed with less acceleration. Really depends what type of riding you’re doing. I’m mostly in tight single trails. So high speeds are never really required
Log hop Sui at the end was so good!!
had a good filmer

Hi Jack, I'm just wondering if you did anything to the gearing to make it more enduro/trail friendly ?? Cheers mate, love the finished product 👍👍🤙🤙

i also have a crf 250r and like enduro its a 2014 could you maybe just list the things that you reccomend for converting it to an enduro bike

Hi jack what fuel do you use I just got the same bike
I always put 98 octane in my bikes but a minimum of 95 octane is fine

I never ended up getting them converted to a conventional spring fork, or getting them tuned at all. I just kind of lived with it and got used to it.

Nice vid and update
Thanks!
Hello, how did you lower the rev range
