CRF250L – Race Tech Fork Upgrade

admin132 views



The suspension on the CRF250L is way too soft even for a lighter rider like me. This kit from Race Tech fixes the spring rate issue in the front fork and I can attest that it is a big improvement for the bike. The rear shock is next on the list.

Important Torque Specs:
Fork cap – “to specified torque”
Fork clamp – 21 ft-lb
Axel – 51 ft-lbs
Axel pinch bolts – 16 ft-lb
Brake caliper – 22 ft-lb

Correction: The 'gold' colored washer needs to go above the plastic spacer tube rather than in between the spacer and the spring.

I was weary of installing the kit myself but after watching your video it was easy. I removed 100cc and slapped it back together.
It got the 50kg kit which is for a heavier rider than my cancer free 140 lbs. but it does not feel too stiff. If anything it could be a little stiffer. It feels good with the stock rear suspension but I might get a spring kit for the rear later if I think it needs it. I don’t right now.

As always another brilliant detailed video production 🇺🇸🍾🎉🇺🇸
Keep producing more videos about the CRF.

Did you fix the location of the bushing? I put the kit in following your video and didn’t realize till now that bushing had to go on top of the spacer and I’m kinda ticked off about it

But why on just one side is what i dont get?

I like your video, and followed it easily. However, I looked at the race tech instructions after I put everything back together and learned that you made a mistake. The plastic and gold bushing do not go together and get dropped in at the same time. The plastic portion of that bushing goes on the bottom of the plastic tube spacer and the gold portion goes on top of the plastic tube. Then the lock nut goes back on. Might want to make a correction to the video so others don't do it wrong.

I heard 5 weight not 10

Could you explain to an idiot like me the purpose of the preload washers? I'm 275 on a good day. I'm also adding 15w oil for my fat ass.

Thanks. Super helpful video!

I'm planning to do this soon. Have you had any thoughts in retrospect? Things you would do differently? Thanks in advance

mans got nice tools
@TheZakkmylde November 12, 2024 - 5:17 am
So for this upgrade all it is is adding the spring to the non-spring fork and that’s it? Seems
Simple enough. The next upgrade I guess would be if you wanted to add the valving kit etc.?

Nice video my man. Just ordered the front racetech springs today. your video will be super helpful on the install on my 17. for the back, i ordered a Cogent complete unit about 4 days ago. will take another 3 weeks or so till i have it. was going to get a racetech for the rear, but they wanted another $150 over the cogent and 10-12 weeks until ready to ship. give todd a call over at Cogent and he'll "interview" you for a good 20 mins in order to build you the perfect rear shock. yes, more expensive than a YSS (about $150), but its made in the USA by Americans and is completely rebuildable. Cogent will service the shock (replace fluids, gas, seals) every 2 years for $99. Be sure to get the needle bearing collar as an add on.
