first offroad done

Took the crf for its first offroad test. It is much better than my old crf which I think was a bit bent as it kept going sideways!!!! I only went to my brother in laws fam for an hour or so but its a good test of the bike as it is the place I have ridden the most.

I was able to get up a couple of hills that I used to have problems with before. I definately need to work on the front shocks as i nearly went over the bars when I went down a deep rut going down a hill.

I am going to buy the parts this week to get them fitted as soon as I can.

Things to Change.

After riding the bike for a week standard except for the Handlebars I have found the following:

1. The front suspension really dives when breaking.
2. The engine takes a long time to warm up.
3. The bike hits the rev limiter really quickly.
4. The engine is a bit lacking in power.

I have decide that when I take the bike for its first oil change in a couple of weeks I am going to do the following upgrades to fix the problems:

1. Swap the fork springs for the bbr springs that I already have. Buy bbr fork emulators and swap the fork oil for Motol 15w fork oil.
2. Swap the jets in the carb for the bigger jets that I already have.
3. Swap the standard CDI for the bbr CDI that I already have (will do this tonight).
4. Along with number 2 I will swap the air filter and open up the exhaust.

Along with the performance mods  I will swap the foot pegs for wider ones as I had wider ones on my old bike and they are much better.
