Another oil thread

[vr4king]

Being new to this 4T thinggy im wandering how often you guys/gals change your oils

The manual states every 15hrs but it seems most people change it more often

Its a Honda crf250 so it takes tranny oil and engine oil seperate(but i use the same oil)

[barty5]

the reason most of us change it ever 5 hrs or is cause it cheaper to buy more oil than engine parts.

[laserracer]

i Dunno about that barty i like buying engine parts and oils such a bore , its so slippery and slimey:bleh:

[vr4king]

well i was kinda thinking every 10 for both and filter

[jt119]

well i was kinda thinking every 10 for both and filteri change mine after every time i have it out clutch side is aways gray other side looks fine if i havnt had it under water

[ready4whatever]

how do you find your crf mate was thinken bout getting one

[vr4king]

i change mine after every time i have it out clutch side is aways gray other side looks fine if i havnt had it under water

So roughly how many hours you get on it?..........And do you run different tranny oil?

[jt119]

So roughly how many hours you get on it?..........And do you run different tranny oil? most of the time be around 4-6 hours and ya run the same both sides

[vr4king]

sweet looks like 5hrs for me then too cheers for the info

[B0000M]

most people find auto trans fluid in the trans side makes for smoother action of the clutch and gearbox, and 10 hours would be a good time for engine oil, less for trans

[vr4king]

I cant remember the last time you didnt have it under water:clap:.

I change oil every ride and filter every second oilchange. there are cheap oil options see older threads if coin is an issue.like everyone says cheap insurance

[courts]

Seat height you mean.?You can decrease your rear spring preload to bring seat height dowm but will make a bit cushier which is no good if your fmxing it or jumping lots.
I find for enduro it all good

It' would be interesting to see the reaction if a manufacturer said oil should be changed every 5hrs. Everybody would be moaning about maintenence costs no doubt.

ok so checked they dont make a low cut there is taller standard and step seats when in stock can do for 180 down from 229

Sorry for the double hijack but any of you guys have a step seat? What are the benefits other than them looking the tits?

thier site recommends them for 450s guess its to help you stay on the seat and not get ripped of as you grab the gas

[CRF119]

haha stupid stepped seats how are you supposed to transfer weight quickly in and out of corners? Another way to make riding a little bit lazyer

[vr4king]

Yeah I like the ones that just have the little ridge about 3/4 down the seat,One thing i have found with the crf is i am hanging my ass right over the back fender as much as possible maybe i feel like i need more traction or some shit wierd things going on
