Corner speed improved with the stability and balance of the chassis and suspension.

“I loved the suspension,” says “Big Air” Tod. “It’s so stable I can charge through anything without thinking twice."

“The biggest improvements are from the carb. That motor runs absolutely perfect. There’s no hesitation anywhere through the powerband and it reacts instantly when you twist the throttle.”

Start bolting on some of the aftermarket performance products which are readily available and your CRF250R can become a fire-breathing, berm-busting monster.

The motor ran absolutely perfect and was a highlight for our testers, as was the MB1 suspension which surprised us with its versatility.

Retro-styled graphics from Flu Designs made our test bike stand out in the looks department as well.

Slowing it down is an oversized QTM rotor on the front. Similar to the overbore, the gains in braking performance are difficult to decipher considering how excellent the standard CRF pinchers are.

Our test bike was set up by Jay Clark Enterprises built by the man himself, Jay Clark.

The cylinder was overbored 1mm and re-plated to 79mm by Millennium Tech, Parapros Racing custom ported the head, CP Pistons threw in a high-compression 14:1 piston and Hot Cams slipped in their performance camshaft.

The Tokyo Mods racecarb was awesome as was the ignition switch.

The lively motor gives improved response but the MB1-tuned Showa suspension does a magnificent job of converting it to forward drive.

With Dunlop Geomax tires mounted on TCR wheels, our retro-styled rocket hurtles forward with more authority than any stock 250F.

The extra size bumps the mill to 256cc, and feeding the entire thing is a full-modified race carb from Tokyo Mods while an FMF MegaBomb and Factory 4.1 single muffler handle exhaust on the opposite end.
