  • Everyone thinks Honda XR400's and XR250's are great... but they don't make them any more and not having electric start really sucks.
    Today we answer the question can a CRF250F do Enduro ?

    This bike actually competes in the Sertões Rally in Brazil for Honda Racing, Thiago Wernersbach is the pilot, and there are a few others in other teams as well! This year Sertões became the biggest rally in the world! Even bigger than the Dakar!

    Only knock with my 450 is how it dies so easy in low speed then the engine heats up. I'd love to have a yz-125 with a 144 kit. That's all anyone truly needs unless your a pro... The 40hp bike that's 200# instead of 60hp and 250 is much easier to ride all day not to mention safer. Imma big fan of the 350 to bad no Jap companies build one that would be the perfect bike. Maybe add a heavy flywheel and 6speed wide ratio tranny that would be awesome too

    Hey Benny, what did you do to the exhaust, sounds awesome and I wanna do it to mine.

    • @TeamBennyRides
      @TeamBennyRides ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Take the baffle out, carefully cut around the spot welds holding the mesh spark arrestor, slide the spark arrestor off, cut the baffle at the end closest to the outlet leaving enough to slide the mesh spark arrestor back on,( about 1 inch) clamp it back in place or in my case it was tight enough to just stay on by itself.
      Effectively you are removing the small pea-shooter baffle on the inside by cutting it off and you will be left with the large chrome end of the pipe and a slightly smaller pipe in the middle with a mesh spark arrestor still on the inside. Removing the whole baffle sounds horrible so this way you still have the bigger pipe of the baffle still there. Once you unbolt the baffle/end cap and have a good look at it you will understand exactly what I’m trying to explain. Bolt the end cap back on and bingo.
      Cheap, FREE ! mod to make it breathe easier and sounds way better 👍
