One small issue is I habitually drain the carb on bikes when done riding. Is there an easy way to get to the drain screw on the 2022 Recon? It was a little difficult to get a flathead past the exhaust heat shield.

Heavier - Check
Wider - Check
Taller- ???
How come most Crf 230 i have seen and rode were higher than most of the hawesque motorcycles.


Be glad that you could drain the carb, 99% of the times those little bolts are stuck like they are weld to the bowl.
