Answer 4

I always thought the CRF was an " off road " bike anyway.

Answer 5

If the bike can be equipped to use dirt tires, yes, you might also want to make the forks so that the fender is further away from the tires as much as possible, the rear as well.

Answer 7

Of course its ok, it is made to be ridden off road. The only thing that could be wrong would be that it would get more wear on everything. Dirt sticks to the intake and some gets in. That wears down the motor, loses power, and makes it more susceptible to break. Riding on the road will definitely improve the life span of the motor.

Answer 8

Just basically the wear and tear.  My son's crf150r has to have piston and rings done every 15 hours as it is a race machine, and has been set up by a professional to race. So he has to watch how much he uses it to train with.  He tends to ride his 2 stroke 125cc a lot more for just basic training or knocking around as it doesn't cost quite as much to maintain.

There is no other reason that I can think of that would stop you from just riding off road with it.
