Anyone running any additional spot lights or front facing lights on their bike?

I'm looking and there are a gazillion options on Amazon, eBay, etc... Just wondering if any others are running any options that have worked well for you and passed the test of time.

H4 headlight conversion

Saw one of these bikes on marketplace with a different headlight so I messaged the guy and asked about it and he said it was a KTM 690 headlight with a h4 conversion kit to make it work. Anyone have any experience with an h4 conversion kit I'm struggling to find conversion kits online.

Warp 9 SM Wheelset for 2018 crf250 rally abs fit on a 2017?

Hey everyone, might be a silly question but ill ask anyway.

I'm looking at getting the warp 9 SM set, but living in Australia we only ever got the ABS model. Warp 9 only offers a set for the abs model 2018+, just curious if this set will also fit on the 2017 model, as from what I know, I think the 2017 and 2018 are practically the same bike.

If it wasnt obvious I own a 2017 CRF250 RLA :)

SRC daylighter install problems

I have a 2017 CRF 250RLH trying to install a SRC daylighter light bar. I have plugged the bar into the aux power port and no power. Checked the fuses everything looks good. There’s a yellow wire that isn’t addressed in the install video on vendors website. Everything seems to be connected properly per vendor install video. Anyone ever install one? And advice? Thanks

2014s, Is it just me?

Do I only notice because I have one, or is 2014 the absolute favorite model year on this sub?

Any stand/stands recommendations?

I'd like to start changing my own oil, while also having the ability to take off the wheels for tire changes. Any specific recommendations y'all have? Should I get front and back fork stands or something to hold up the middle?

This is my first ever bike and I've probably put ~4000 miles on it (did an oil change a few thousand miles ago). Having a ton of fun but I'd like to take better care of it in my small garage.

Ignition issues

Hello everyone so the last day I took my crf250l rally for a short ride and after I turned it off it wouldn't start I noticed that the fuel pump isn't priming after I left it to sit for half an hour the bike ran again but afterwards it wouldn't start.it does start sometimes and sometimes the fuel pump won't prime /but there is buzzing (I think from the air control Valve)I also checked there is no spark and the check engine light doesn't light up when turning the ignition on,but if I keep flickering the ignition switch/engine kill switch it would eventually work and when i turn it off same thing happens when it's hot or cold,I checked the bank angle sensor/injector/side stand switch/connection between all of them and haven't figured out why anyone has ever countered a same issue??

Crf 250f

I know this is for crf 250L but, Does anybody have a crf250f that is approx 5'7 thinking of buying one but don't know if the seat height is too high. I have ridden dirt bikes for my whole life so I'm not worried about too much power just the size.

2017 250l died

Hello, my bike died while riding in the woods. Battery was pulled, tested good and fully charged. Battery terminals cleaned. Fuses all checked and good. Attempted pop start multiple times in 2nd gear: bike starts for a few rotations and then dies again; won’t stay running. Gauge display is blank when key is turned on however it lights up when the starter is pushed. Inconsistently does the same thing whether kill switch is on or off. Noise coming from engine when starter is pressed (sound on). EJK installed; tried disconnecting and bypassing and no change. Thanks for any help you can offer!

2018 with 37,000 miles

Hello all. I am looking to buy my first dual sport and motorcycle at that. I found a 2018 crf250l for $3k but it has ~37k miles on it. Is this a stay away or what are some things I should look out for? Thank you all.

Edit: thank you all for the comments. I am going to hold off on this one for now but keep looking. I am not giving up!

Edit2: found a 2014 with 300 miles for 4K? Once again this is CA.

Rally tower delete

Got a chance to get a pretty rad crf250l rally with a cbr300 engine swap and a big bore kit on top of that. I'm more of a supermoto guy so I was wondering if it's easy to convert the rally to a non rally. Anyone know? Might be willing to trade all the rally bits for non rally bits. Thanks!

2015 crf250l wont start

not sure if this is the best place to ask this or not but i figure i would try it. After a low battery issue, i used a motorcycle safe jump starter that i have used 30 times. when i attached the starter, all was normal and green light on jump starter and full lights on bike. I hit the ES and nothing. my headlight shut off like its supposed to but the switch literally did nothing. no attempt or even a click. trying to diagnose the issue. any guesses on the many parts that participate in the ignition process?

Suspension so nice...also Delkevic?

I can now vouch for better suspension... if you've had your bike for a while and don't know if you should keep it or buy better, upgrading the boingy bits is a viable option. I've had my LRP since new in 2015 and recently upgraded the suspension and took it on some enduro trails. Holy crap its almost a like a real dirt bike. Still heavy as shit (my back thinks so at least), but it's very manageable in the woods/whoops now. Cost was $1300± for fork rebuild w/Ktech spring and RT gold valves installed by a pro, with a Ktech shock I installed. Swapped to 13/45 sprockets and some trackmasters, now its the Lil Red Tractor. Needs a real test run at a GP race next year, I was too chicken to race this go around. In closing, if ye covet the Holy Trinity of street legal, magic button, and reliability then new suspenders might be for you.

Side question...does anyone use the 18" oval Delkevic silencer? Trying to lose some exhaust weight but the FMF is heckin loud...

Chain size and Regearing

Too Long Didn’t Read:

14-44 sprocket set up, is 108 the correct chain size? Best sprocket setup for highway cruisability and wheelie enhancing torque on sumo tires?

Full post:

Hoping to get some help here as I’m not finding a definitive answer online and I’m sort of new to regearing.

Picked up a 250L over the weekend. Seems like the P.O geared the bike to 14-44. She needs a new chain and I’m trying to figure out if a 108 link is what I need for this set up (hopefully without counting the links on the old chain).

Also since I’m replacing the chain, I considered the possibility of a different sprocket set up. The bike is sumo converted, still needs a bigger rotor and some other goodies. This bike will not see dirt, only urban/ road riding. Ideally I want the bike to be able to spend some time cruising comfortably on the highway to reach some sick spots about 20-40 miles from me, but also be geared to enhance it’s hooning capacity (wheelies, pep out of corners, etc). What would you guys recommend with these things in mind?

Bike has a header, slip on, ejk injection controller, possibly a filter and airbox mod (haven’t checked yet, just got the bike).

Any and all input and help is appreciated!

Plan on posting pictures of her as I tie up the loose ends and get her dressed up, just getting the basic maintenance items out of the way first.

Chain guard replacement ?

Hey guys! The white plastic chain guard on the bottom of my 2015 broke off. I'm having a hard time finding a replacement. Anybody know where I can get one or have a link? Thanks for any help!

When to hold em, when to fold em

I bought a friend’s 2014 crf250L (10,000 miles) in June. Changed plastics got a rear rack. Was excited but also became worried about how heavy the thing is as I would need to hitch rack it to riding destinations and it feels heavy AF.

I’m realizing I may have struck a few years too early because my kids have a lot of weekend events that make riding almost impossible.

Also, My buddy who was most into joining me on trips is getting divorced out of nowhere so riding buddy is out for at least a year or so.

I’m curious if effectively storing the thing for the next few years and doing a short ride 1-2x a month to keep engine happy is stupid and if I should just sell it and try to get another bike down the road.

Better to cut or just hold on to it?
