Suspension questions for people who have upgraded
I have a 250 rally and I ride off-road about once a week. It’s also my only and primary vehicle. I hit Croom mc area (same area Carson brown has been riding his 300 rally and a bunch of other bikes) it’s rutted to hell and all whoops. Will suspension do much to help me loft over this stuff ? I only weigh like 140 lbs but I have to double over everything unless there’s a clear spot for some air and a flat landing. Basically I have to ride these trails like I’m playing that old game flappy bird; constantly on the clutch and then gassing as hard as I can in second on the little uphill part of each whoop…. Getting farther forward sends the back end all the way up out of control and there’s not enough power to lift the front wheel. Any comments from anyone who rides rough trails would be appreciated. I average 20-22 mph through the trees but always ride solo so have no idea if that’s fast but I see the dirtbike ripppp over whoops so just curious about opinions

Alleviate my fears! CRF250L
Hi All,
Today I purchased my first ever bike. This is the bike I will be learning to ride on. Reason I went with this bike is from what I can gather its a great entry level road worthy bike that isn't too tall.
BUT I think its going to be still too tall for me. Sitting on the bike I could only touch the ground with my toes 😰 Being 5'4 and 60kg it seems like a lot of bike!
I will be coached by people that have riden all their lives in a controlled manner so that's of no concern. My real worry is how I will manage the bike and its height / weight.
I'm thinking of using an aftermarket seat to drop it an inch or so and if it comes to it use a lower linkage. I know it'll affect the suspension but that's fine as I am just learning and not planning on doing anything hectic.

Time for a brake fluid flush?
Noticed my brake fluid was really cloudy. I’ve bled brakes on a car but never on a bike before. Is it as simple as the classic pull brake lever, open nipple, close nipple, release lever, fill reservoir with new fluid, rinse and repeat until it’s flowing clear?
TIA
