2025 Honda CRF250RWE Baseline Suspension Settings

The 2025 Honda CRF250RWE has a different suspension feel to it than the “R” model. The coated WE Showa suspension is quicker moving (similar to a KYB feel) and although the comfort is quite good, we needed the CRF250RWE to be a little calmer at speed (on throttle) so if you're like us, then try…
