|||
== Revision history == |
|||
{{needs more citations|section|date=February 2023}} |
|||
=== 2012–2016 === |
|||
The original CRF250L was an evolution of the CRF230L incorporating a de-tuned version of the proven engine from the CBR250R (2011) road motorcycle, a redesigned frame, and suspension implementation. |
|||
=== 2017 === |
|||
For the 2017 model year, the CRF250L continued to compete with the other ''250cc'' dual-sport motorcycles. There were two additional models the CRF250LA (ABS) and the CRF250L Rally. The rear brake ABS can be deactivated quickly via a handlebar button. |
|||
Along with the ''Rally'', the standard model took on the following changes; the engine gained a larger throttle body, new muffler design, revised PGM-FI and airbox, and a larger diameter exhaust header, which increased the engine output by 2HP over the earlier design. Styling changes include a revised speedometer with an rpm counter (tachometer), a folding gear lever, and a changed tail light, and the graphics were also changed to fall in line with the new CRF450R MX bike.<ref name="2017 CRF250L MBG" /> |
|||
Inspired by the factory CRF450 Rally machine raced in the Dakar by Team HRC, the CRF250L Rally gets the same updated engine as the standard 250L, but it also gets a larger fuel tank, totally new Dakar-style bodywork, handguards, a floating windscreen, skid plate, and even more suspension travel.<ref name="Honda Introduces" /> |
|||
=== 2021 === |
|||
For the 2021 model year, the CRF300L and CRF300 Rally replaced the 250 versions. |
|||
Changes included the increase in capacity, weight reduction, front-end geometry, and increased fuel capacity (Rally only). |
|||
=== Differences between L and Rally versions === |
|||
The bikes share most of the parts, but there are some obvious differences and some incompatibilities that may be surprising. The Rally version has a completely different optic block, windshield, fairing, and a larger tank. The seat looks very similar, but due to the tank differences, it is not compatible with L{{nbsp}}version. The suspension is also different, the 250 Rally has different travel than the 250L. |
|||
While a few parts are compatible between the 250 and 300 versions, many are different. Even neutral parts like rear luggage racks are not compatible due to differences in the mount points. |

2012–2016
[edit]The original CRF250L was an evolution of the CRF230L incorporating a de-tuned version of the proven engine from the CBR250R (2011) road motorcycle, a redesigned frame, and suspension implementation.
2017
[edit]For the 2017 model year, the CRF250L continued to compete with the other 250cc dual-sport motorcycles. There were two additional models the CRF250LA (ABS) and the CRF250L Rally. The rear brake ABS can be deactivated quickly via a handlebar button.
Along with the Rally, the standard model took on the following changes; the engine gained a larger throttle body, new muffler design, revised PGM-FI and airbox, and a larger diameter exhaust header, which increased the engine output by 2HP over the earlier design. Styling changes include a revised speedometer with an rpm counter (tachometer), a folding gear lever, and a changed tail light, and the graphics were also changed to fall in line with the new CRF450R MX bike.[4]
Inspired by the factory CRF450 Rally machine raced in the Dakar by Team HRC, the CRF250L Rally gets the same updated engine as the standard 250L, but it also gets a larger fuel tank, totally new Dakar-style bodywork, handguards, a floating windscreen, skid plate, and even more suspension travel.[5]
2021
[edit]For the 2021 model year, the CRF300L and CRF300 Rally replaced the 250 versions.
Changes included the increase in capacity, weight reduction, front-end geometry, and increased fuel capacity (Rally only).
Differences between L and Rally versions
[edit]The bikes share most of the parts, but there are some obvious differences and some incompatibilities that may be surprising. The Rally version has a completely different optic block, windshield, fairing, and a larger tank. The seat looks very similar, but due to the tank differences, it is not compatible with L version. The suspension is also different, the 250 Rally has different travel than the 250L.
While a few parts are compatible between the 250 and 300 versions, many are different. Even neutral parts like rear luggage racks are not compatible due to differences in the mount points.
