CRF's Only Forums

Hey guys&ladies!
I got a CRF250 enduro , great bike with one problem.
i'm two meters tall , basically everything is a pocketbike for me.
Is there anyone who has changed their front springs?
On a supermoto what had the same problem i was able to let someone make me longer caps.
Problem is a supermoto doesn't have the S/H and Air release luxury stuff.. So i guess that idea won't work on the crf.
Also the back spring has to change.. but the front is more the problem right now

However any idea's would be very welcome!
And if someone already made their front spring longer please let me know how as i want to do it as safe as possible obviously.

I got a showa spring on it , The bike is in use for Enduro&Tracks

A month too late .... But .... Welcome to the site !!

I don't know how I missed this post .... But ....... I am guessing what you are asking is how to make the forks themselves longer ???? , if so , not possible , the length overall of travel is limited to the size of the 2 tubes combined , as well as the length of the Rebound Rod inside , as it is the stop so to speak for the extension of the fork ......

If you are asking to give more Preload to the spring to hold it up in the stroke longer , I would refrain from that , it will drastically affect your Rebound , and make the bike handle unsafely , especially when jumping .... (think Pogo Stick) ...... installing a stiffer spring is not a issue , but what you are wanting is more height , and that is just not possible , Since you already have the risers on your bars , and I assume the tallest bars you could find , that is about all you can do aside from finding either a aftermarket manufacturer or a machine shop , to get lowered footpeg mounts ..... other than that , There is a basketball player that rides enduro races , his name is Ric Smits , he is 7.4 .... I also have a close friend who is your size (6'5" , and 320 lbs) , he rides moto and is actually fast ... Unfortunately , you are just going to have to adapt to the cramped quarters ......

My Friend who is 6'5" *yes he is on a 450*

Thank you JimDirt for the reply!
hmm guess i'm stuck and have to live with it then , tried the shops here too but they too have no good solution.


Thank you!
