Apparently, so I've been told, there is Nothing Wrong with my 250 Rally ??? juat the noise echoing off the plastics .. but I can deffo tell a difference in lower performance ands higher noise ,, though I admit it could just be my hearing?

I eventually got a space in the weather and, not without trepidation, got her out to my local `easy` trail.

.. the last time i rode the trail, it was well washed out, with deep ruts, and huge stones, and mud, and nasty stuff like that. I admit i shited myself, as the suspension was drastically awful.. the front, no longer spongy and pogo-like as when bought, was now hard harsh and rock banging, following the extra front racetech spring, and rear 20mm lower.
I don't understand what the difference is to last time, but this time... the CRF Rally flowed like a dream. Perhaps it needs testing on harsher trails, I dunno, but my confidence and pleasure was aboundful lol. Can't wait to get out on it again as soon as weather improves.
negative... I did notice that the low speed was snatchy, more than before, and the injectors, I guess, may need cleaning, as low throttle was very jerky and inconsistent and variable. I got some Wynes cleaner, so will try that.
