      you're in luck! haha you can upgrade pretty much every part on dirtbikes to aftermarket. Check out motosport or rocky mountain atv/mc. on both websites you can enter make/model/year of your bike and see a whole list of aftermarket parts you can get! thx for the comment

    This or the kx 450f I’m experienced at riding but it’s been a long time and I want to cash out on one long lasting purchase 🤔

    • @notsoupmoto
      @notsoupmoto  2 месяца назад

      the kx450f is going to feel wildly different than this bike just beware. the crf250f is an air cooled trail bike. very tame with beginner friendly power delivery and chassis. kx450 is a liquid cooled race bike (both the kx450 and kx450x models) so just beware of what you're getting into. If you're looking for a smaller cc liquid cooled race bike, look into the crf250r or crf250x for the hondas. other brands make them as well, of course. just do your research and have fun!

    What do you suggest for getting mx boot under the shift lever and shifting?

    • @notsoupmoto
      @notsoupmoto  2 месяца назад

      great question! first off, riding with the balls of your feet on the footpegs is proper position. (as opposed to mid foot or heels on the footpegs) Proper position on the footpegs will keep you from mis-shifting or shifting when you dont want to. it will also put your foot in a great position to simply slide forward with your toes pointed slightly downward when you want to shift up which should naturally leave your toes under the shifter.
      if proper positioning and practice dont help (this is something that'll feel awkward at first and take some time to get used to) then you can adjust your shifter to be a slight bit higher. You can consult your manual or find videos on youtube showing how to do this.
      but i wouldnt mess with your shifter until you've practiced for a while and still are unable

    I’ve been looking for a 250f for a bit now, kinda hard to find one that isn’t pretty expensive. What price range and year and mileage would you recommend?

    • @notsoupmoto
      @notsoupmoto  2 дня назад

      Any year since 2019 when they first made the 250f would be fine. they haven't been changed much since they launched it. Also the 230f (the previous model) is a good choice as well. Just look into the differences so you know what you're buying. As far as price range, it's hard to say. Check KBB and just use your best judgement when buying used. Unfortunately there's no one size fits all answer on the used market. If you have a buddy or family member that's somewhat knowledgeable about dirtbikes or motorcycles, take them along when you look at the bike

    What the best way to go down a very steep hill

    • @notsoupmoto
      @notsoupmoto  2 месяца назад +1

      i actually planned on making a video about this in the future but the short answer is use your rear brakes sparingly trying not to lock them up and pump the front brakes so you don't lock them up as well. this will allow you to go down steep hills much more slowly. also try to avoid trees lol

      thanks for the comment! glad you're enjoying! I'm assuming you mean camera. I use a gopro hero 9 [film at 4k 30fps on superview] with a dagger designs chin mount plus the gopro media mod with a lavalier mic inside my helmet for audio.
