Sad to hear that the bike is only 18 hp.
Sure honda tune it like that to create a market share to the expensive version crf 250 r - or was it x? - as they were claiming 30 hp in motoshow.
So one must be crazy to buy honda crf l over kawa klx.
Price wise, there are only 15 k thb between them but performance wise kawa is 40 %  better and years ahead in terms of reliability.
Heartbreaker honda:)

Anyone having issues with poorly adjusted clutch cable that allow slip and the resulting burnt out clutch pack ?

No, I don't think so....

Must be a one-off case then.

Really?The KLX is 40% more powerful than the CRF-L? That flies against all the guys who rode a KLX with pipe, air filter and modded ECU then jumped off that onto a stock CRF and said the Honda was faster......

Just because one Thai guy dyno'd it doesn't mean that his readings are correct

How is it years ahead in reliability?

You need to stand up when you talk so we can hear you!

You do realize that the CRF 250L and CRF 250X are completely different bikes, yes?

I think loserlazer is confused. Friday night and all

So just had 1000 km  service done would you say the break in period is finished now(not that I worried about the breakin except for the first 100km) and also from what I've read I think it may still be early changing to semi/synthetic oil when do people recommend changing to mentioned oil.
Bike now is not due in dealers again till I hit 4000km
Thanks

I'd wait until the next scheduled service before you switch to full synthetic. By 4000km the engine should be completely broken in. Ride on! Tony

Here is a shot of a white one in motard trim. The more I look at it the more I like it! The guy is selling all sorts of wheels, these are B14000. Not sure exactly as it is in Thai.

[Spoonman]

^^^^

I like the motard look, What is supplied for the 14,000 baht Is it rims/tyres/brake discs/sprocket etc etc.

[loserlazer]

still 17.9 hp is a heartbreaker man.

same engine and gearbox as the CBR250, so can't see why it wouldn't be possible to extract same power out of the CRF250L. I suspect bigbikebkk paid for the dyno test on the CRF!

the CRF looks great with the wider road tyres. I was wondering how it would look with the front gaurd so photochopped it.

Picked mine up this afternoon.  Holy crap that was a fun ride home.  Yeah, doesn't take much to get me excited, especially since I haven't ridden a manual bike in a while let alone anything over 125cc.  I liked the PCX, but believe I am going to like this a lot more.  Wasn't looking for a lot of speed, just power to move quicker when needed.  

Might have been a slopticle illusion, but it really seemed to be easier moving between stopped cars at red light than the PCX was.  Riding position was comfortable but only about 20k ride.  

Tach would be nice as well to help tune the ears.  Being slightly on the vertically challenged side, look forward to getting motard setup.  Will have to do something about extra storage which I will miss about PCX.  Any recommendations on top box or other storage options?

a small hugger front guard certainly looks better than dropping down the original guard, it actually looks good without a front guard at all.

I think it would look better with a shortened mudguard like the d-tracker has.
