    CRF250 Rally/DS

    I guess my warranty was voided when I did my 1000km and 12000km services myself :imaposer:

    CRF250 Rally/DS

    I actually pillion  often with my bike so pegs are staying. Connected a charger point that sits just behind the side cover at the battery that I can reach without removing anything. The plug has got a rubber sealed cover but I havent used it yet as I ride my bike at least 4 days a week. Over...

    CRF250 Rally/DS

    Climbing mountains in lesotho and slow traffic or long idle periods does engage the fan. But I dont have any funny sounds from the engine. Except for the fan coming on I havent noticed anything else out of the ordinary. I dont like not having a temp gauge. Is there a warning light that will come...

    Running in the CRF250 Rally

    I am only a hundred or so short of the 15000km mark and my sprocket still looks brand new. Using my 30% chainsaw 70% engine oil mix on my chain

    CRF250 Rally/DS

    I did 1100km through lesotho this weekend of which 550 was gravel and off road and zero issues. Fell over a few times in the very technical steep and rocky stuff and dont have any marks on the bike to show for it. The belly plate took a very big hit and no damage at all. These bikes are...

    Lesotho Accommodation, Fuel Locations and Routes Info : See Index in 1st Post

    Mathebeng was a breeze. But going to Semonkong was very hard work getting out the valley after crossing the Senqunayane river. I did it about 8 years ago on a drz with no luggage and it was easy. But the 250 with luggage and 8 years of erosion made for a challenging day. There are absolutely no ...

    Lesotho Accommodation, Fuel Locations and Routes Info : See Index in 1st Post

    I rode through lesotho this weekend and thanks to everyone for the nice info. Rode from Katse to Semonkong with the red 180km route and coming out that valley was a bitch on my own! The next day I did the 400km  as discribed by Losper: Semonkong-Qacha-matebeng pass-katse. 9 hours but very...

    CRF250 Rally/DS

    I agree with LoopSoosStroop. I would not go back there. Blauth you have just confirmed that I made the right choice to ignore the warranty and doing my own servicing from day one on my Rally. If my head bearing starts feeling dry I shall just press it out, clean it and re grease myself at zero...

    CRF250 Rally/DS

    The bike came out with IRC tyres. I love mine. And would have replaced them with the same if they were available in RSA but they are not. I am on 13k km and rear must still be good for another 2 or 3 thou. Front maybe 50% I mostly commute with my bike but I am also not scared taking it anywhere...

    CRF250 Rally/DS

    1140mm with my full weight (83kg) on the bike I ride traffic everyday and car mirrors is fine but you have to dodge suv and bakkie mirrors. The bike is awesome in traffic. And no problem holding 120kmh true speed in traffic due to slipstream similar than a cyclist riding through the convoy. I...

    CRF250 Rally/DS

    I did my 12000km service this weekend. Mostly commuting but whenever the opportunity came up to go off road I never had to stand back and everyone on much fancier and expensive bikes were amazed everytime with the Rally. I ride mine around Joburg on the highways cruising at 120km/h gps speed all...
