I've come across quite a few people who are riding CRF150s and CRF230s. Many of these people are very good riders but don't have the ability (parts, time, tools, skills, etc.) to setup their bikes properly. It bothers me to watch riders struggling with these bikes when I know they can be vastly improved by low-cost fixes such as jetting and suspension sag. The difference between a bone-stock CRF230 and one that is properly jetted with proper sag settings is unbelievable.

I used to ride a 1984 Al Baker’s XR’s Only XR265R with every engine and suspension upgrade available at the time so I know what it’s like to ride hard on a works-style bike. I used to curve distributors and tune Holleys and Q-Jets for boats and cars when I worked part time at a speed shop. Over the past few decades I've jetted just about every Honda bike from an XR100 to an XR600.

Much of the testing of jetting and suspension setups was done on a two-mile enduro track right behind our shop. The reviews I’ve posted in this forum were mostly all done on that very track. I’ve spent countless hours on the phone with suspension experts like John Hlebo and Bruce Triplett. I’ve acquired a lot of riding and tuning knowledge over the years and I always try to share what I’ve learned. I've helped quite a few people setup their carbs and suspension and they were all completely satisfied.

I’ve owned my own consulting business since 2005 and I have flexible hours so I'd like to start helping my fellow riders in and around the Charlotte, NC area. If any of you out there are riding a CRF150 or CRF230 and you need help please send me a message.
