  • I've had this CRF230F for a couple of years now. It mostly just got used as a workhorse, being used to leap-frog around on group rides to get videos and pictures of those rides. Now, it is getting a whole new lease on life...

    I still have my crf230 set up with super capacitors, still working from years ago when I made that video haha. Those bikes rock I don't care what anyone says. I just need a new clutch for mine, it's had a very rough life at Wellsville. I've always loved your channel because of what you have done with the 230 and although I now also have a xr400r now I still love that bike especially the 6 speed transmission. Frickin Jim's friggin adventures shall continue even if the names different now ;) keep kicking ass my friend!

    If you want a good lightbar for the night part of the race get a LOTTworx light bar, they make them for the 230 and my riding group nicknamed it the sun for how bright it is and it illuminates perfectly up to about 250 to 300 ft.

    Modded my crf230f, and pretty happy with the results. Swapped a lithium ion battery, rejetted the carb, did the renthal 428 chain/spocket swap, BBR ignition box, uncorked the factory muffler, and ground down the huge restrictive weld in the head pipe. The thing now actually has some balls! But the stock suspension is garbage. Just…awful. But the fun factor has definitely gone way up. Gotta upgrade the suspension though, it just kills the bike on knarley trails.

    Yay more love with the CRF 230F! So if this one is "all stock" then it must be a different bike than the one you did all those mods to? Like, you did everything in the world to the old bike. You must have got another one... Can't wait to see what you do to this one. I miss my 2003 CRF 230F, that was such a fun and versatile bike. And reliable as the sunrise.

    My first “big bike” was a ttr230
    Same bike just a yammie, some say the Honda is tuned a little hotter, I got a opened up air box and big Jetts in it. There’s nothing wrong with. Perfect trail bike, back up bike, loaner bike for a newbie. Not a damn thing wrong with a 230 especially when you de-cork em they run like hell. Still no 250f motocrosser. But damn they are fun little machines.
