Yeah, I used to have this that I bought from Reyn on CF and sold to Riceaholic. I used to raise some major hell on it, and this thing is way faster. I'll probably use engine ice, it used to keep a 2 stroke that majorly overheated with normal coolant from doing so. The rear shock does feel a little loose for me since I'm a 200lber. Can I just adjust the nut on it to make it ride tighter? Don't know shit about suspension.

I rode on stock susp at 200+lbs in full gear. It's a tad soft also, but I just left it.
You can either redo it for your weight, or try full stiff compression/full soft rebound on the stock internals. May or may not work. |

I'm hoping to hit 220 within 6 months so I'll def wind up doing something. I think I'm going to take the plunge with this bike. The only thing I'm hung up on is a 07 SXV450 Aprilia SM with 2500 miles and good pressure tests from the factory(blacks sealant) and a new starter. He wants 4k though.

I love my RSVR and I'd love an SXV, but 08+ only if I had a choice. There were 3 07's on Craigslist recently, all 07 with black sealant. I think only 1 has sold so far. They have a permanent thread on "problems" for SXVs on the AF1 forum. A major turn off, if they're that finicky, it's not worth it to me. |

I saw that. I think I'll just get the CRF and spend the extra 1k on upgrades.

How often do the valves need to be checked?

It's recommended every 15hrs, personally I've seen it be safe to go as far as 30hrs. However there's always exceptions to every rule.
I know someone who rode their 2002 YZ450F for all of 7 years before checking them. BTW here's a step by step with pictures that I used to check mine. http://crfsonly.com/howto/crf250x/cr...adjustment.php * crfsonly.com is a good place for parts too, but their limited in Supermoto specific stuff |
