bubbaseth1 Talked to him after the race and he said his leg was numb, had a hip injury a while back so he took it slow getting up. Crazy stuff can happen quick with nerves!
@@warrenstemphly5756 Yeah you can improve it some but I don't think you can ever get the suspension to handle what the little engine is capable of. Some folks have greatly modified the suspension and got it pretty good.
@@MillBranchDulcimores good to know. I’ve heard of folks adding thicker oil in the front and a better rear shock, but I’m not sure what improvement it actually makes. I’m looking at getting a bike in this category in the next few months and it’s great to see what they actually can do.
Excellent video because you’re an excellent rider. The 230f is designed for that stuff really. You did fine against those 2 stroke 250s. Held your own. And stopping a couple times to check on people who were hurt. That first guy hit a tree at a decent clip of speed, ouch! I’m watching all videos of 230 & 150f’s in hare scrambles to see how they perform. And so far so good. They’re not performance bikes, but they are trail bikes that will perform well in their element. Can do some small jumps. They shine on cornering and low gear through the wet stuff. You showcased that in this video. Those whiskey throttle 2 strokes bogged out where you geared down and pushed through on the 4 stroke, 230f I’m currently riding a 150f and love it. I’m looking to enter a hare Scramble in NY or PA soon. I’m a novice for sure but I’m down for the thrill and adventure of that kind of race. And you just showed me something intangible. That it’s possible! And there’s hope! Oh , and that you’re a good human. I’d do the same I like to think. Had a ttr125l for a while and it made me not wanna ride. Sold it and got a 150f and it changed my whole relationship with riding. Hopefully get up to a 250 2 stroke someday Thanks again guy😎
250 two stroke is the woods weapon. I have a KTM 300 i race usually but raced the 230 and loved it. I also raced it for the FL GNCC and got 4th in C250. Going to try to find the SD card that has that video on it, its a good one!! Thanks for watching, for sure get out there and race, even if you don't win its a fun experience.
Yeah i like more of this smooth racer do his own speed ,i like to watch faster riders passing threw and than they struggle a few minutes later ha ha!i like to watch a guy that stopp when someone crash! it need only a few seconds to ask for the physical conditions ,maybye seconds that can someday save a live.And i like the sound from the Honda like a singer sewingmachine doo her job ha ha! A real "Gentleman" racer!
Dude this is great! First off this course looks awesome. Secondly your not much slower than anyone else except maybe the straights and that’s not where it counts. Did you notice any fade with the rear drum brake? I’m only a C rider that hits the local hare scramble and enduro circuit from time to time but one of the reasons I didn’t get this or a TTR was due to the drum brake. However after watching this.. I think I don’t need another fancy eurotrash bike to get back in the game again. Thanks for posting!
Hey man didnt see your comment until now, I didnt feel a difference in the drum brakes from the first corner, to the last. they did great the entire race!
@@dysonkyle16 I was about 5'10" when I got it and I could touch the ground with 2/3s of my foot on both sides. now I'm 6'2" and I can stand flat footed plus some.
@@Tyler27B my dad bought an 05 brand new and I grew up on it and eventually got bigger bikes. Well I've decided to go back to it and set it up for woods racing. Trying to decide whether it needs a piston or not. Probably not but it might after I'm done with it lol they are great bikes. Trash suspension but I plan on getting that completely serviced
Great race video. I’m debating switching back to my 230F for racing. I’m pretty sure I’m faster on the 230 than I am on my 350. It’s such an easy bike to rip on.
@@Tyler27B I have a Husky 350, and I agree, it's an amazing bike, but I can't ride it to it's full potential. I ride the rails off the 230 all the time and it just keeps going! I have a buddy who sold his Beta 300 to downsize back to a 230 and he's pushing me to race it with him.
Tyler27B Its fuel injected and has six gears so I will try one of these races maybe this summer I'm 15 so I have to ask my parents and they might not let me but thx
I hit thumbs down by accident so I hit thumbs up twice! I’m a freak, sorry. I’m tempted to start a channel too, there isn’t enough small bikes content on RUclips? There’s still this stigma adults 16+ have to ride gigantic bikes! I was born in 1970 & I was riding a CR500 & a Banshee by 21yrs.old because it seems like back then if you were good you are expected to ride only huge tall bikes? My favorite dirtbike ever was a 1986 CR80 I bought off showroom floor with a check for $1000 & you talk about being high? I was 16 & livin, my spoiled ass bought a new Fourtrax 250r 4-wheeler that same year for like $3000 cash I wanna say it was??? The 80’s were the best times!!!
When you stopped and helped the other rider, that’s how I ride! I know it’s a race and all but I just can’t leave a man down like that, respect ✊
Awesome video and riding skill. That's cool you helped that dude that crashed and chonged his nuts.
bubbaseth1 Talked to him after the race and he said his leg was numb, had a hip injury a while back so he took it slow getting up. Crazy stuff can happen quick with nerves!
You are a real rider, it seems that you never forget brotherhood.
Cool race you did good on that CRF 230 those bikes are bulletproof this vid was really good hope to see more👍
That's great! I ride a crf230f for single track. Suspension sucks but it's a fun bike!
Can anything be done to improve the suspension?

fantastic video mate the 230's are beasts and always will be.
The gentleman rider wins the race !

I found the video!!!! I’ll upload it tomorrow, you’re gonna laugh your butt off lmao!!
You placed 4th in a 250 race with the 230?? That’s so sick. Always love the underdogs. Love to do more with less

You're a good man. And have good values. Awesome job with that nice bike!
You're a true bro. for stopping. Looks like a blast to rip that 230
Threading that fucking needling. Very well done.
Que buen lugar y buena carrera! Muy buena para comenzar con la 230! Yo compre una hace poco y estamos aprendiendo, Saludos desde Córdoba Argentina!
You are good rider with good heart 💪👍

Nice riding bro. Best tip I can give is to never look back during a race. Keep er pinned and just worry about what’s ahead.
I’ve got a 230 too and I love it. Have you got any upgrades on yours?
Rumor has it, that guy is still walking it off, last seen in Bolivia.
😂🤣😂
230 gang!
It ain’t the size of the dog in a fight......it’s the size of the fight in the dog.
awesome ride, I have a 230 and I love the way the engine feels but I think its physically too small for me. How tall are you?
Get clamps to push the bars forward and up. It makes the feel of the bike way better.
Hey man how tall are you cause I’m 5,7 and 14 I’m thinking about getting one
@@dysonkyle16 I was about 5'10" when I got it and I could touch the ground with 2/3s of my foot on both sides. now I'm 6'2" and I can stand flat footed plus some.
that was fantastic
I'm thinking about doing a season of HS on my old 230. Have you found any reliability issues engine wise after racing it?
Nope, just maintain it and keep the tires and tubes good and it will be a great bike.

@@tylermoses8688 if it’s not smoking or knocking I would send it. Maybe a valve adjustment? Haven’t checked mine yet
Great race video. I’m debating switching back to my 230F for racing. I’m pretty sure I’m faster on the 230 than I am on my 350. It’s such an easy bike to rip on.
Do you have a 350 KTM? I have a 300 2 stroke KTM but love this cause pushes me to ride at 100% all the time!
@@Tyler27B I have a Husky 350, and I agree, it's an amazing bike, but I can't ride it to it's full potential. I ride the rails off the 230 all the time and it just keeps going! I have a buddy who sold his Beta 300 to downsize back to a 230 and he's pushing me to race it with him.
I’m 5,7 and I’m thinking about getting one should I do it?
I have also crf230f 2015model.. i'm 5'4" in hieght...
Do you think I’d be able to expect a similar power out put and performance on the KLX230R?
Yes probably nearly identical raw power. If the klx is fuel injected however it will be smoother
Is this a stock 230?
Never mind, just made it to the part where it says it’s completely stock lol
Does the bike was stock?
Bike is bone stock yeah
Great riding! What pipe are you running?
Think he said it’s a bone stock 230f. Down to the tires
Do you think a klx 230r is good for this stuff
it would be very similar to this I would think, looks like a good bike.
I haven’t seen the klx230 but my guess is that it’s the same breed of bike and you should for sure do it!
Tyler27B Its fuel injected and has six gears so I will try one of these races maybe this summer I'm 15 so I have to ask my parents and they might not let me but thx
