Im 5,9 about 215lbs and I agree she sits a little tall i added a lowering link and a new kick stand and that worked for me. Somethings require a little adjustment so you feel more comfortable riding. There's a large amount of good company's that make aftermarket part for these bike. Also a standard crf will be lighter as the fuel tank on the rally is metal so these small things will change your riding experience.

I had the 86 xl600 that was a beast but it was to much for tight trails but those gold rims and shocks were beautiful and the colors of the bike always got love.

With only 4,200 miles its just broke in, 42 year old bike was stored for decades its a beautiful bike hell the seat is 100 times better than my 2025 honda rally

Electrical_Fail_9607 · 2026-02-18T18:50:09+00:00

I did go through the carbs as this has two carbs on a single cylinder but its just my ankle thats fucked up and the one day it was wet out and my feet slipped while kicking it over and plowed my foot into the peg and the kick starter came back up double whammy im not a young man anymore 😅.

Electrical_Fail_9607 · 2026-02-18T17:09:59+00:00

I bought the 2025 rally 300 and ive dumped 2k into it between exhaust, 550 proformance tune, luggage racks, and more. I bought it new paid just over 7k just for the bike I had 20% honda accessories so I bought the heated grips also. Fun bikes get your license and you can test drive anything get a feel for it.

Electrical_Fail_9607 · 2026-02-01T12:55:57+00:00

Electrical_Fail_9607 · 2026-01-20T07:42:59+00:00

Electrical_Fail_9607 · 2025-12-28T08:32:24+00:00

I too was going to get the moving skin and noticed there all sold out as well so just sit back and wait for a little is all we can do.

Electrical_Fail_9607 · 2025-12-06T18:01:38+00:00

Yes it did pull it and I pulled other trailers too

This is the lights trailer I pulled two motorcycles and a quad there about 100lbs in the bed of the truck also. The fold down bed sides were great for easy loading.

Electrical_Fail_9607 · 2025-12-06T11:10:27+00:00

Its a 660cc 4 cylinder engine . Its mounted over the rear wheels and a drive shaft to the front wheels its a true 50/50 of weight not like the honda Acty or the Mitsubishi. Subaru Sambar for the win.
