Greetings from Ontario, Canada. Great job. Just got the 300 Rally here. Great bikes! Hats off to you, it's nice to see the wife working with you! Very cool!
That's a beautiful bike, congrats! My wife is reluctantly working with me, it's not something she enjoys as much as I do, but she does lend a hand in key moments. :) Enjoy your bike!
Replace original springs with CBR300 springs or aftermarket stiffer springs asap. The reason why CRF250L clutch wears out and burn so fast is not an offroad abuse but constant little slipping at full power in high gear at every ignition stroke. Even worse, the OEM spring steel material get even softer when exposed to heat, i.e. when you overheat the clutch once. It is know CRF250L problem. The clutch discs are supposed to last 4x longer with adequate springs.
That sounds like reasonable advice. But I am bit weary of replacing original parts and then getting used to the new feeling of the clutch... The loss of clutch grip was sudden, so offroad abuse might be the reason in my case. The new plates have felt great for the last 6K km, I can't wait to look at them the next time :)
The friction discs and the metal plates can be put in either way. It doesn't matter for the CRF250L. I didn't see your comment in time, sorry, hope this helps.
Good question! It's supposed to show people who are doing this for the first time the entire process. The brake pedal and the radiator fiddling are part of that process. I removed the break pedal because you can't easily take the engine cover off with it in the way. And the radiator is in the video because you have the water pump on the same engine cover and you need to remove all the coolant from the radiator as well. At least I know of no other way to get to the clutch discs. Hope this helps!

Nicely done
Glad you enjoyed this!
when you install the clutch plate, is it both side are the same or there is a marking which sides you should place it?

The wife seems interested in the motorbike
She is! She’s got her own, but we tend to do things together, so she’s often around. Which I actually appreciate a lot :)
