Honda CRF250F Black Rims, Suspension and More

[@watts300]

Dude that's so cool. I never considered just a wider rim on my rear wheel. Excellent idea.

[@bennyrides]

Glad we could help !

[@drmoto8058]

wish the us model came with the headlight! gotta rig up a light bar for mine

[@TeamBennyRides]

😢

[@Lif3behindbars]

Nice bike! I just ordered supermoto wheels and tires for mine. I also added a tusk street legal kit. Doing the gearing next.

[@bennyrides]

Nice !

[@burtrumsburgermeat5473]

Please let me know what you do with teh gearing I want to get more out of mine

[@americanaccents]

This was a great video. would love to see you walk through even more pertaining to the bar riser situation and if you had to extend the cables at all. as well as look over the foot pegs and other aspects of the bike you have adjusted. looks great man great build

[@TeamBennyRides]

Cables were fine, risers covered in Benny’s other Honda mods and upgrades video 👍 Glad you like it, thanks for your kind words mate

[@thejoshbw]

Awesome bike dude! You've given a lot of people some sweet inspiration. I'm meaning to fix mine up with some upgrades as well and I'm really liking the way the rims look on it. Is your front rim the same size as factory or did you change it for the wider tire?

[@TeamBennyRides]

Thanks very much Josh, really glad you like it 👍 Awesome bikes with a bit of personalisation thrown in for sure ! The front rim is a standard size factory or aftermarket 👌

[@STONEDARTphotos]

Thank you for the information, these are great bikes.

[@bennyrides]

Easy and fun bike, glad you liked the video

[@AdventureDaily]

Do you happen to remember which bike the rear spokes were for?

[@bennyrides]

They are off a standard CRF250R/450R

[@TeamBennyRides]

Any 18 inch rear wheel spokes, nothing special at all 👍

[@kuladeeluxe]

Love that Build. Does it have Tubliss by any chance?

[@AdventureDaily]

Looks so damn good! Will be doing this soon.

[@bennyrides]

Thanks for the comment… Couple of simple things completely changes the look of the bike !

[@TeamBennyRides]

Crikey ! thanks for checking out the video Tanner ! Glad you like what I’ve done to it, been watching all your CRF content and love your mods too ! They really are a great bike with a bit of work 👍

[@matthumphries2690]

hey mate, ripper looking bike. was there any reason other than cost that you didn't buy rims already with spokes installed. wouldn't a 250R wheel set fit on this? cheers

[@smashhhh4662]

i think so, i’m going to buy this bike and just buy a set of 250R wheels, i’ll let you know how it goes😂

[@GasSoakedRag]

Good stuff, clean build.

[@TeamBennyRides]

Thanks Eric, so is yours mate 😉

[@SPEEDYBEANIE22]

Nice bike I was torn between the 250f and 250x and I saw an British bloke on KZbin recommend me a crf 250x for the power and torque channel is called Tokyo offroad

[@bennyrides]

How good is @tokyooffroad !

[@BoundzDesigns]

Hi, I am looking to get the same bike. Can you help me out with what exactly I should ask when I take the suspension into the shop?

[@TeamBennyRides]

Mate ! Show your suspension shop this video ! If they don’t know what to do go to another one that does ! Good luck, let us know how you get on 👍

[@brettosborne4208]

Nice vid. I like your trolley/stand. Guessing you made them?

[@TeamBennyRides]

Sure did mate, built them to suit each bike height as well so they are solid as, light and super easy to move around 👌

[@brianrogers1907]

Can you add links to these products in the Description?

[@Gameeer1300]

Just curious if taking all theres parts and peices to be redone and modified at shops would it be cheaper to buy a different bike? I own a 250f and i love it. Im just curious

[@bennyrides]

No way ! If you are talking specifically about suspension, that doesn't cost a lot.

[@TeamBennyRides]

You have to remember that this bike is nearly half the price of the bigger bikes and no matter what bike you buy most people will add their personal touch to them. Pipe, bars, wheels, suspension set up for your weight and riding style etc ! $5K trail bike or a $15K competition bike your going to buy shit for it ! Dirt bikes are a huge passion of mine so the amount spent to make it better and look great is irrelevant if it makes you happy Ride with a big smile on your face, I do 😬

[@Gameeer1300]

@Tim H can't argue with that lol

[@TeamBennyRides]

2023 HRC stickers! (Not 2022)🤦‍♂️ Sorry viewers

[@patrickstas6403]

Love the sticker on the side, can’t find tho

[@TeamBennyRides]

@@patrickstas6403 They are factory HRC sticker from the 2023 Honda range. Go to your local Honda dealer and order a left and right from a CRF450R.

[@danyst-gelais9505]

Hello sir, did you had to do any modifications to fuel mapping or air intake to accomodate the exhaust ? If not, does it run better or worst ? Is it noticable ?

[@bennyrides]

No remapping

[@CarterCarlson07]

Beautiful bike!

[@prosport5435]

What about the skid plate, is it plastic or aluminum? What brand?

[@TeamBennyRides]

Aluminium, genuine Honda part L08BP250F Check out some of the earlier videos on the Honda, it is mentioned there 👍

[@billsbikes]

Hey Tim, Can you tell us what the cost was to do those rims? Can you also get a parts list from the people that did them? Would like to price it out here in Canada. Thanks. They look so good

[@TeamBennyRides]

About $1,000 Australian dollars, I don’t have a parts list but as per video all the information is there for you to talk to a wheel shop or a bike shop to get the parts needed. Looks great alright, for sure eh 😂 🇨🇦😘

[@billsbikes]

Yes I priced it out here similarly in Canada $1000

[@singletrackaddict294]

Did the exhaust and or rims shave any weight off the bike?

[@TeamBennyRides]

Yea it did 👍

[@RD11RT]

Hey bud, love the bike and the video! Which wheel shop did you use in Oz? Cheers

[@TeamBennyRides]

Ash’s spoked wheelz in Brisbane 👌

[@ivanoro34]

What size tire do you have in the front?

[@TeamBennyRides]

It’s a Michelin Starcross 5 Soft 90/100-21. Great front tyre as it has a slightly higher side wall for enduro/trail riding which gives it a plusher ride and more protection for the rim from damage. Great traction and they last surprisingly well 👍

[@ccodyy9896]

With you’re Yoshimura do you have to tune it? Because mine backfires

[@TeamBennyRides]

No, doesn’t backfire, Yoshi tuned the pipe so we didn’t need to remap the bike 👌 Have a look at their website. Did you open up the air box and put a twin air filter in it ?

[@patrickstas6403]

What’s the link to the sticker? And where’d u get the pipe?

[@TeamBennyRides]

Mate, just go to a Honda dealership and order a 2023 HRC racing left and right sticker. Thats all I did. Same for the Yoshi, ordered thru the same Honda dealer 👍

[@lewisanderson265]

what tyres are on that? im looking at doing up my 2023 crf250f

[@TeamBennyRides]

Michelin Starcross 5 softs mate , brilliant traction 👌

[@viclopresti6826]

I'm considering buying a set of black rims on the internet and installing them myself. Is it necessary to upgrade the back spokes? And what size nipples you used? Thanks mate, I really enjoy your 250f vids, the bike looks sick 👍👍

[@TeamBennyRides]

You can absolutely still use your original spokes in the back wheel, I just took the wheel shop advice and went bigger spokes. The nipple size will be different to mine because of the original spokes, I would get the rim and go from there. Thanks for liking the videos, it is a great trail bike for sure 🍻

[@viclopresti6826]

@@TeamBennyRides Thanks mate for the responce. I love the bike, it's a total tractor but it's just too fun and easy to ride. It will look even better once I get black rims and that sexy HRC sticker lol.

[@TeamBennyRides]

@@viclopresti6826 2023 HRC Stickers, I stuffed up 🤦‍♂️

[@k47012]

Why did you not use larger spocks in the front tire?

[@markprzybylski8444]

Do you know the part numbers for the rims, spoke and nipples?

[@TeamBennyRides]

No, sorry I don’t. Uncle google will help with that, I just picked them up from the shop and paid the bill 👍

[@rulasmania]

Ya beauty!!

[@brettosborne4208]

Where did you get your exhaust mate? Can’t find one anywhere

[@bennyrides]

Just ordered through a motorcycle store.

[@Quixx_350z]

whats your sprocket size????

[@TeamBennyRides]

13/51 Perfect for the tighter single trails and hill climbs, still has good top end speed too

[@Puzzled_Moose]

You think you can just spray paint rims ?

[@TeamBennyRides]

I guess you could, I’ve heard of people powder coating them too but you still have to de spoke them to paint or powder coat the original rims

[@kylesalyers9051]

Where did you get the fork covers?

[@bennyrides]

Pretty sure they are from a different model Honda have you watched both videos ? I think Tim may mention it in the other video.

Hey mate Bretto from Winkie S.A Just wondering who did the rim mods struggling to find anyone in Adelaide who advertises for similar work. Not going to copy 😂looking at gold for mine. Cheers Brett

[@TeamBennyRides]

Ash’s spoked wheelz in Brisbane, give them a call . Copy away mate, it would be an honour 🕺🏻 they look fantastic in real life, Honda should have done this in the first place !

What handguards are those ? Thanks

[@TeamBennyRides]

Cycra Pro bend

[@tate.3]

where did u get the spoke nipples for the bike, which website im getting the rims but i need the nipples for it

[@TeamBennyRides]

Everything was done at the wheel shop I took it to, they did everything, Google wheel shop and give them a call in your area maybe 👍

[@mt1885]

Does the headlight on all the time or it have a switch?

[@TeamBennyRides]

No switch, on all the time
