And now we rest. @03dumdum

Found out 22psi is super low for my rear tire.

 

Finally got around to mounting the Apache case.

 

Sheesh! That would explain some of that weird turn in you were experiencing right after you mounted it. Lowest I go offroad is 25psi. Normal for me is closer to 40.

 

Am i going to be ok with my smaller tube? It's supposed to be 150/70/18, but I put a 140/80/18 tube in. Can i go to 30s ? The front is also 23psi

 

I would guess that with the smaller tube running too low of pressure is going to be even worse for it than too much as it flexs differently than the carcass and builds up internal heat. I'm no scientist though, who knows.

But yeah, bump those numbers up man. Whats your tire inflation sticker say? I'm guessing it's at least 35r/30f. You're in pinch flat on a pothole territory

 

I think factory settings are 34f/36r

 

Hit 10k miles on the klx over the weekend! And yes that is leftovers strapped with a ratchet strap lmao I really need a rack haha

I also got my yoshi full exhaust on the bike this weekend I gotta pull the carb again and put my 170 jet in now

 

Kawasaki green straps. Nice touch!

 

Funny how different it is even compared to my DRZ. I was running 12f/10r on both the husky and DRZ.

 

Putting the CRF230 M up for sale in the hopes of getting enough $$$ to move on to an FZ1 or similar. Going over the bike, I was trying to chase down why I have had this weird oscillating vibration while at speeds above 25-30 mph. Removed the front wheel to check balance and noticed my front pads were getting a touch low...

 

I do believe you've gotten your moneys worth out of those.

 

Bah, those things still have a couple miles' worth on them!

As in literally two

 

I checked 'em a few months ago and remember thinking they had a ton of material left. When I pulled them out, I thought "Yeah, you were looking at the backing plates, ya idiot!"

 

Haha more like random strap a friend had and let me borrow haha

 

A touch low is an understatement lmao

 

PSA

Any of ya'll near the ctr of the country looking for an inexpensive sport bike. This is a good deal. Only 3850 miles. $4995.00 Owned by a pal of mine who's bikes get whatever they need. I'd buy anything this guy was selling if it was in my lane, which this isn't.

 

Got the spokes on the front done. Now for the rear, rim tape, and graphics kit(ordered the other day).......and I'll be full-grown obnoxiously Murican'd out

 

Oh no! How much?

 

Nice bike. I'd buy it in a heartbeat if it were closer to me.

 

$3500 asking price. Missing the track and being able to be faster than traffic! The CRF is definitely fun, it just takes so long to get "there"!
