This TRANSFORMED My CRF230F… (Vonkat El Jefe Review)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 янв 2023
- Prior to the 24 hour race on the CRF230F, I made a change to the rear suspension in hopes that I could prevent this bike from brutalizing me throughout the race. In this video, I share how that went and where you can find suspension upgrades for a very reasonable price.
This wasn't planned, but after a while of using this shock, I actually ended up selling them on my website here: torturetestmagazine.com/produ...

You are incredible Man ! There must have been 50 gallon drums full of KTM tears after this !
Thanks for making these videos. I'm 35, have a child, and don't feel like buying something fast like a 450 so I don't kill myself... Bikes like these are what I'm looking into and knowing they can be made rideable for my 200 pounds is useful
Better of with a 250. These bikes are quite small.
The Honda 250F is a great bike for following kids around.
The money that you will throw into the suspension on a 230f to support you would be better off spent on a better bike. Suspension is $$$$
@@panic-revv85 thanks
Look into GPX FSE250
Love the videos man, would love to see a full race video, you are totally the best dirtbike youtuber out there😉😉
Awesome slo mo footage. That shock looks great! Thanks for the video
Hey Gabe! Great job as always. I went with the Race Brothers shock for my 230, it’s a clone of the Fox podium, but pricey. I wasn’t aware of the Vonkat, wish I had known sooner! I’ll be posting a video on the RB shock installation and testing soon.
Well done dude! Making that humble 230 look more powerful that it is!
Happy trails
Those slow mo shots through the rocks!
Nice riding Tex 😁👌
More please!
Thanks for the content :)
Slo mo looks dope, great review
Keep up the good work bro..
Man, those slo-mo shots are pure poetry!!
Just wondering what exhaust system you are using? Thanks! Great video by the way.
Hey Vonkat, make one for the XR650L!
Great video, just wondering have you rode the new CRF250F?
What ever happened to your original 230 review video
That was a great video too
But man I’m glad to see you still love the 230
They are just too much fun
Will we get a video about the 24-hour race like the dr200 video or is it still in the works?
Hello. I would like to know what work you did on the front suspension after installing the Vonkat El Jefe rear shock. Thanks in advance.
This wasn't planned, but after a while of using this shock, I started selling them on my website here: torturetestmagazine.com/products/vonkat-el-jefe-for-honda-crf230f-and-crf150f
Purchasing on my website instead of elsewhere supports the channel!
Are you working on the full race video? I love your channel, keep it up!
Let's see the race bro
Love to see a hard enduro race, curious to see how far you could push a beater bike, plus plenty of KTM tears to be had!
Also curious on the full race vid if it's coming but honestly man it's excellent any time you upload, always waiting for another TTM video to pop out :)
TTM podiums again! On a 230! - Nice! 🏅
Is a modified crf230 a decent step up in power from a modified dr200?
Like my WR250r shock was beat had it rebuilt by Ccycle suspension here in Ct Bill is awesome $280.00 unbelievable difference guys a genius when I comes to suspension
I wish this was available in '82 when I had a XR200R.
Would this work on a 250L or is it a different setup?
How tall are you? You seem to fit that frame nicely.
This CRF 230f is the same that the brazilian one?
Beta? KTM? Sherco? Nahhh I’ll probably get a crf230 for my next bike. Seriously that seems like a ton of fun. I’ve always though that motor with some proper suspension would be a blast.
Haha do it man. The short wheelbase is the most playful thing ever. You'll be on one wheel everywhere all the time. Probably even keep it parked on one wheel. Heck, just remove one wheel.
Love my 07 crf 230. Ppl can have all thier high maintenance race bikes.
Did you do anything to the front suspension? Thicker oil? Spacers for more preload?
Nothing special. 96-04 xr250r forks. They're so easy to tune to perfection with this cartridge conversion: www.rockymountainatvmc.com/parts/race-tech-type-3-gold-valve-compression-kit-p?v=616?ref=1046&
Oh you know just changed out the entire front end of the bike. No biggie. 😂
@@TortureTestMagazine do those xr250r forks mount right up? Do you need the triple clamps?
I love me some kenda tires, the price at least
Just watch the back wheel in slow motion, it does every thing right
No more EO Outlaw exhaust? If you don't mind me asking, what gearing are you running? There's no build list for this bike on your website.
Oops, totally forgot to put the page up. Just put the page up now. Thanks for the reminder. This isn't that same CRF230F, this is a different one. I parted out the other one.
In your experience and opinion what would you recommend for a trail bike for a 145 lb 5'11" rider? I am looking at a crf230f, a crf250x, a ttr 223/230 and a wr250f. I don't need the fastest thing around as most of the time I will be riding with my daughter's on their ttr 90 and 125L, so best bang for the buck and high reliability are my goals.
I'd get an air cooled or more trail oriented bike than a crf250x or wr250f, the crf230, ttr230 or any similar old school thumper would be great
@Joey Courtice that's what I was thinking, my only concern is the lack of a Kickstart
@@jeremymann8930 lack of a Kickstarter is a non issue seriously. I've owned 4 of these bikes over the years, built them up and sold them. There's batteries on eBay for $22 free shipping (mighty max) and the very minute I see a battery going bad I chunk it for a new one. These are AGM batteries and a battery tender will keep it ready for a really long time.
@50ccause good to know, I like to have it just in case but if they are that good I may be more inclined since its a simpler bike without the cooling system
@@50ccause I find that buying an expensive battery and wiring up a battery tender so I just plug it into some wires coming from the bike every time it's in the shed works really well. My bike has a weak charging system which is why I do that. It does have a backup kick-start tho
We gotta know what's "under the hood" in those forks man!

It's clear being comfortable within yourself and a boat load of humility that giants can be taken down
First!! Yeah!
We. Need. The. Video.
What sag were you running on the vonkat?
