Cheap performance mods crf250l

This works for 2017-2020 crf250l. I may have been too excited when making this and it will not make your 250 into a 450, but it will give your 250 more bite. This will give roughly 4hp or 5hp according to dynos with full systems and the difference is quite noticeable. Really is incredible for the price $250 vs $700+

These new settings were based on numbers found from forum sites posted by user Minkyhead. He had taken his bike to get a dyno run and this is what the tech decided were best for the bike. I have been running these for over a month, my gas mileage has improved and i haven't noticed a loss or increase in power. I put the snorkel back in my bike as many people as well as dyno tuners made it clear it does nothing to help performance.

About the Sprockets: I just installed 13/47 on my bike, and you can hear the bike is screaming over 60mph. Sure it gave increased acceleration, but now i think, 13/42 is the perfect ratio IF you ride it on the road also. Because on 13/42s, the engine runs much smoother at 60mph(96kmh) and above.

Good information. Video .I just bought a2016 250 crf. A lot of issues you discussed were ones I have.😊

[@searchingfor6thgear44]

Being a used KLR owner, I appreciate a performance and aesthetics review from someone who considers a $25 investment "expensive." Seriously... watching the other channels folks are blowing thousands on upgrades like the rest of us are made of money. I'm looking hard at a lighter, fuel injected bike, for the TAT. The CRF250Ls, the WR250R, even the KTM 690 Enduro would be lighter than my 2008 KLR. Subscribed. I'm interested in the rest of your TAT build-out.

[@BlakeCKelly]

The reason I love the hondas is because how cheap they are and what little it takes to increase performance. A wr250 is double the price with a small upgrade. If you're coming from a klr though, you will be much happier with the 690. I have an xr650 as well and they are worlds apart. The nicest thing about the xr is its ability to cruise all day on freeways for a trip back.

[@waltermitty7452]

@@BlakeCKelly I'm curious, if you have an XR650L, and you are a bit use to 450R power, why not just use the XR650 for your street/TAT needs? I ask, because I am thinking through the same dilemma. I have an older CR250 (2-stroke), which is way beyond my skills...the thing rips. I'm 6'1" and 250 lbs without gear and the thing will pull power wheelies in 3rd. But I want something in addition to this bike that is street legal, that can also do offroad. I might do some smaller, 2-3 day "TAT style" trips. So given all this, I am torn between getting the CRF250L or the XR650L.

[@BlakeCKelly]

@@waltermitty7452 Now this is a very difficult question. The xr and crf are very different bikes with seperate price tag. The reason I went with the crf us because it is almost $2000 less and has quite a bit of updated parts. The power is about 24hp in the crf vs about 40hp in the xr. The crf is quite a bit lighter and easier to pick up after spills. The main reason I am going with the crf250l for the TAT is because someone else will be joining me and possibly riding the xr. I like the crf over the xr for its lightness, gas mileage, and capabilities. It is just as capable offroad as the xr, has the power to do anything, but in the road the xr is better. For you, if you plan on doing a lot of freeway riding to get to the trails then maybe the xr would be the better choice. If you are not doing a lot of freeway then I say there isn't much better than the crf. The price is cheap, power is plenty yet nowhere near your cr250, the fuel injection is awesome, and the updated tachometer and speedometer is nice. This may be a whole video in itself but I hope I helped in some way.

[@waltermitty7452]

@@BlakeCKelly Thanks for the reply. I'm really torn. As you know, the specs on the bikes are a lot closer then many might think. CRF vs XR Weight: 322 lbs vs 346 lbs HP: 24 vs 35 Suspension Travel: 9.8" and 9.4" vs 11.6" and 11" Ground Clearance: 10" vs 13" Seat Height: 34.4" vs 37" Wheels: 21/18 vs 21/18 MSRP: $5,199 vs $6,999 It's hard to buy a new bike that is air cooled, and has a carburetor. But at the same time I'm worried that the CRF might feel under powered given my size. It's a tough one.

[@BlakeCKelly]

@@waltermitty7452 the main difference in the two bikes that I noticed is the weight and torque difference. The feel in power is pretty huge so I wouldn't really say they're that close. I have had many people tell me they would rather have the 250l over the 650. I'm 5' 11" and the 250 is a good height, my dad is 5' 10" and the 650 is too tall in fact we put a lowering kit on it. I would say the biggest thing to help you would be to find a dealership and ride them both. Personally I prefer the 250l for both off and on road, but the 650l has the capability of long freeway hauls.

Blake, i know you posted your you tube a while back, but it is still really appreciated. Know it is still helpling people. So I just got a very low mileage 2020 crf 250l with a FMF exhaust system. Is the EJK worth it on the 2020? Anything else that you have done or suggest since posting?

[@BlakeCKelly]

If you want slightly more power then it's worth it. It will also hurt your fuel mileage quite a bit. It will help off-road more than anything, won't increase your top speed much. My favorite upgrades were a ram phone mount and a dual slot usb outlet. Both very easy to install

hey Blake, loved the video. I am pretty set on getting the CRF250L. what do you think about the difference between the 2019 and 2020 that just came out. not sure which one I should purchase? any advice ideas greatly appreciate. thanks

[@BlakeCKelly]

I believe the only difference between the 2019 and 202p crf250l are the trim packages which seem to change some color schemes. Other than that there was no major difference as far as I know. I heard that they were teasing dual spark technology but it doesn't look like it made it to the 2020 model. I would say if you can grab a 2019 brand new for less than $5200 then go for it. The 2020 will be more expensive on the showroom floor now that it is released.

[@shafshah201]

Blake Kelly, I appreciate you brother. Last question bro. I’d highly appreciate your advice. I’m stuck between ABS. Is it really necessary , I thought it is incase I braked hard to avoid an Accident but dealers are telling me it is is not. If you can , tell me IS ABS A MUST OR NOT. Thanks I’m advance

@@shafshah201 honestly I've never had ABS on a motorcycle before so I wouldn't know. I will say that I've never really needed it but I've been riding for a very long time. For me it is not a necessary thing, but the 250l has a switch so you can turn it off for offroad riding which is pretty neat. I guess it is more of a nice-to-have rather than a necessity

[@sylvainhuppe]

Great video. I have a 2017 CRF250 Rally and so far had left it stock. Was considering some performance enhancements but didn't want to stray too far from stock, and was also worried about losing some top speed. I'm not a small guy (6'4", 220 lbs) and stock I can get the bike up to around 60 mph. I don't plan on doing too much if any highway with the bike but would like to keep that as an option and had read that some of the performance enhancements came at the cost of some top speed reduction. Your modifications are less extreme I think (I think the main top speed loss is when you start tinkering with the sprokets, but I may be wrong). Can you comment on if/how your top speed was affected by the modifications you documented in this video? Thanks.

[@BlakeCKelly]

My top speed has increased. 6th gear now has some pull and keeps the bike moving even at around 65-70mph. Mine tops out at 76mph. I'm 5'11" and weigh 185 pounds. I definitely recommend doing these upgrades

@@bmanprince personally, I suggest the FMF PowerBomb. It is cheaper than the MegaBomb and opens the bike up quite a bit. Delkevic offers a great value if you're looking for cheaper. Honestly FMF is the more tested and trustworthy brand for the 250l but Delkevic offers a great deal for a stainless steal header which will open up your bike plenty. I've wanted to try Delkevic for awhile now so make sure you read the reviews and let me know which you choose!

Very good question. My reasoning behind the 250l is that it is a cheap reliable road bike amd something I can use offroad if I want. The 250l is not built to be thrashed offroad like our 450r's. I wanted it mainly as a road bike and small adventure bike while my 450r is my offroad bike. The 450l is very good offroad, only okay on road, not quite as capable as the R but good enough for me. The L was too expensive and the maintenance intervals were too high for me to justify.

change the rear sprocket to 43t and air filter to dna or k&n + a gpr muffler ( or deffer) you will have better results than with the ejk

[@rick-hm3ji]

k&n not good for dusty conditions. UNI two layer foam (available online from Australia-reasonably priced) equally unrestrictive plus good in the dirt. Easing intake and exhaust restrictions without adjusting mixture (EJK) mitigates potential performance boost and could damage or shorten the life of the engine due to induced mixture leanness.

Be careful with that phone mount and larger phones. I bought a bigger one for a Pixel 7 Pro. The spring is not heavy enough and twice when I have dropped my bike, the phone has come out of the mount. One was a whisky throttle where the bike hit fairly hard and the other was a slow speed tip over. I just purchased the rubber pieces that you usually see with the x mounts to try and compensate for the heavier phone.

[@BlakeCKelly]

Thank you for the heads up. I will keep that in mind

[@mrkvak85]

Hi, I do not think just removing the air itnake restrictor does any positive job. Tube shape of restrictor has the purpose to accelerate and direct the air flow. I think the only effect is the sound but for power it would be better to use similar restrictor with bigger diameter. Nevertheless I think any change in performace (increasing or decreasing) is hard to measure on this kind of "powerful" bike.

[@disapirrie658]

Blake Kelly Thanks Blake, just felt like some of the exhaust was hitting the bottom of the blinker.

[@BlakeCKelly]

@@disapirrie658 it should not be touching the blinker. The insert should look very similar to stock and should operate as a stock exhaust. Did you end up putting the gray cover back over it?

[@djhowse]

how many miles did you break the bike in for?

[@BlakeCKelly]

I believe the owners manual recommends a 600 mile break in period but I racked up 1000 miles on it very quickly before I got around to changing the oil. I would say my break in period was around 1000 miles.

[@djhowse]

Blake Kelly yep I was looking at 600 miles

Where did you shop this bike?

[@BlakeCKelly]

I got it from Ask Powersports In Columbus Ohio

[@vegasranger]

Where did u get the usb port?

[@BlakeCKelly]

It was just some random one on Amazon. You'll have to buy the USB port as well as the plug I mention in my auxiliary plug video

[@frobo512]

Any idea on an updated link on the spark arrester? Not available on Amazon anymore

[@BlakeCKelly]

I'll search around and see if I can find it

[@BlakeCKelly]

I did not find one. It looks like the spark arrestor is out of stock everywhere. I'm hoping It is just for a limited time

Have you done any new mods?

[@BlakeCKelly]

I have. I made some new light brackets, bought a pannier and top rack kit, I replaced the headlight with a very bright led, I put on a new seat cover, and changed up the numbers on my ejk to the new ones I put in the description

I'm 6'1 and feel cramped, likely to add the 3/4 inch pro taper riser and mid height pro taper bars (as done in Woodman) video to help with the fatigue i feel across shoulders and back after about an hour on the bike

15t counter? Damn. I run a 13/45 😭

Wow that's pretty steep. I run a 13/ 40. How do you like that low gearing? I was thinking about gearing mine down more. Do you top out about 50 55 miles an hour now? Just curious...

Are you using the speedometer or your phone with an app?

Why, oh why, do KZbin Presenters INsist UPon background "music"? Incredibly Obnoxious !!! Good-Bye.

I totally agree. I had F FWD to the go pro segment. Enjoyed that part. Old codgers with tinnitus do not need the obnoxious bell ringing background.!

[@RonaiHenrik]

Nope. Too much hassle. Gonna buy a 300L and keep the engine stock. Performance issue solved and it's lighter.

[@trailrider1980]

It is not lighter on your wallet. I got a crf250l 2018 abs with 3000 miles for $3500 dollars. Similarly equipped 300l will cost $6000.

@@trailrider1980 too late, I already have a crf300 for almost 2 years :D I love it.

[@trailrider1980]

@@RonaiHenrik they are awesome bikes. I have owned two crf250l. Flooded one crossing a stream. Certainly keepers. I always find them cheap (3200 -3500) Would love to own a 300l. My primary bike is a mt07.

[@RonaiHenrik]

@@trailrider1980 the issue and the main reason why I bought a new crf300 instead, is that where I live the crf300 was pretty much the same price as a used crf250. The difference was like max 1000 USD. I'm guessing you're from the US. You guys keep forgetting that there are other countries in the world :D

[@trailrider1980]

@@RonaiHenrik true. It is not the rule here either but a lot of people pretty much sell their bikes cheap after a while. That mt07 2019 with 1950 miles cost me $4700 and still has 2 years of yamaha warranty. Here if you are patient and wait , a cheap bike will show up. Africa twins and tenere700 are keeping their value but most non adv bikes if you wait you can find something cheap.

[@johndaroza8312]

You can get around 20 hp with the right mod

[@mikeborrelli193]

No you can't. You're claiming an almost 100% increase in horsepower. You're talking about full race spec internals in the engine, and even then those claims are sus.

Nah

[@quidestnunc9238]

This information is excellent. But...(yes, there is a "but"): What is the correct purpose of the frenetic repetitive Intrusive (and, therefore, Obnoxious) pseudo-music ? Did all the KZbin Presenters receive Apple's Garage Band one Christmas? [All Except Rocket Man in Portugal, John T. Young and Dad's Domain. That repetitive, Intrusive, frenetic, repetitive, Intrusive, frenetic noise made your information psychologically/neurologically off-putting to the point where I (and, certainly, others) simply tuned away. Good Audio Makes Good Video. Forums and CRF-Only...here I go !

[@mattingray5651]

Why do you call your video "performance mods" when you spend 2/3 of your video talking about non-performance? People are searching for performance want to hear performance stuff. Who cares about lighting or so? Should be in a separate video.
