2018 HONDA CRF250L & 2018 HONDA CRF250L RALLY SPECS AND REVIEW

Honda suggests that the vast majority of small dual-sport bikes spend much of their life on the pavement. And maybe that’s true; they do make for fantastic daily commuters. That doesn’t mean their riders don’t still dream of big adventures and dusty trails though. Dreams of Rally flash through their mind at every glimpse over at rolling hills to nowhere, and we can&blame them for it. Both CRF250L models see the same handful of changes over the previous 250L. Most significant is a 2mm increase in throttle body size (from 36mm to 38mm), which comes as an attempt to improve throttle response and increase power in the low to mid rpm range. Honda claims a weight savings through the use of an exhaust with larger header pipe and lighter weight, two-chamber muffler. ----------------------------------------- 2017 HONDA CRF250L SPECS ENGINE Engine Type: 249.6cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder four-stroke Bore And Stroke: 76mm x 55mm Induction: PGM-FI, 38mm throttle body Ignition: Computer-controlled digital transistorized with electronic advance Compression Ratio: 10.7 Valve Train: DOHC; four-valve DRIVE TRAIN Transmission: Six-speed Final Drive: chain; 14T/40T CHASSIS / SUSPENSION / BRAKES Front Suspension: 43mm inverted fork; 9.8 inches travel Rear Suspension: Pro-Link® single shock with spring; 9.4 inches travel Front Brake: Single 256mm disc with twin-piston caliper Rear Brake: Single 220mm disc Front Tire: 3.00-21 Rear Tire: 120/80-18 DIMENSIONS Rake: 27°60&(Caster Angle...
