Works Connection 12-228 Pro Launch Start Device — Honda CRF250R / CRF250RX
Product Description
Nail the start and claim the holeshot with the Works Connection 12-228 Pro Launch Start Device, optimized specifically for Honda's high-revving 250cc motocross and off-road racers. Engineered to withstand the intense demands of modern racing, this fork-mounted launch control system eliminates the guesswork when the gate drops. By temporarily locking your front forks down, it lowers your motorcycle's center of gravity to prevent unprompted front-wheel lift during hard acceleration, keeping your machine tracking straight and true out of the gate.
Constructed with factory quality engineering, this device eliminates old-fashioned springs to deliver a reliable, spring-less locking mechanism that guarantees positive engagement and consistent release when the fork compresses. It features an ergonomic start trigger designed for simple, rider-only activation. Lightweight yet exceptionally strong, the entire assembly weighs a mere 50 grams, ensuring you add maximum performance without adding unnecessary weight to your front end.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What components are included in this kit?
A: This complete kit includes: 1 Pro Launch assembly, custom drill guide template, countersinking tool, and detailed step-by-step photographic installation instructions.
Q: Is it difficult to set the device by myself on the starting line?
A: Not at all. The ergonomic rider start trigger is intentionally designed to allow you to easily reach down and lock the device into place independently, without requiring assistant or mechanic help at the gate.
Expert Pro-Tip: When utilizing the custom drill guide template on your CRF250 fork guards, take your time taping it securely to prevent any drifting. Always use a sharp drill bit and steady pressure when countersinking the holes. This guarantees a clean, flush-mount fitment that keeps the locking mechanism perfectly aligned for smooth engagement every single race.
