2012 crf250r

The first thing I would do is get your suspension set up correctly for your weight and riding style. After that ive heard that getting a full exhaust system like the FMF factory 4.1 or Pro circuit really help wake up the 2012 250r.
After that its up to you. You could go with a high compression piston and run race fuel if you have the money. Other than that a fly wheel could help you depending on how you ride and if you think you really need one. Although its a bit more expensive a rekluse would help you a great deal too.

I have a 2007 crf250r and my buddy has a 2010 crf250r and we both race em in the harescrambles. All you really need is a spark arrestor and pass 96 Db sound test. Getting your suspension done is a great idea but is expensive. What i would do is set your sag adjust your clickers and spend that money on getting yourself a skidplate some handgaurds and possibly a bigger tank. You can ride these bikes as is in the woods with little money poured into aftermarket goodies. An exhaust system would be a nice addition if your have the money. Where are you from?

[turtle40]

I am from MD. Ride in NJ and PA Suspension is fine but the motor is too mx'y to ride in rocks and hills. That is why I was asking about fww or map.

[redrider250r]

A fly wheel weight would help you but only so much. A rekluse would be probably one of the best options.
Also mellowing out the mapping would help too, or just ride more aggressive

[Ryan Obert]

I agree with redrider. ride more aggressive. keep it pinned and squeeze those knees and your solid!

Thanks for the help ,I guess I was expecting someone who owns a 2012 to give me an intelligent answer. I am not a AA rider berserkin through the northeastern rock gardens, and I am sure they would need to let off the throttle and that is the problem with the honda motor.

[redrider250r]

If your really riding that tight and technical through rock gardens then try playing with gearing ratio's to tame the bottem end hit of the motor. Also as I mentioned before a flywheel weight would smooth out the power as well.

Thanks redrider, I dont think a fww is available for this year and I did go up on the rear sprocket.
