crf250r crank failure

My big rod end bearing took a crap. I noticed just before that I didn't have the power I usually have.

[@EngineEngineer]

Hmm, no power, something obviously wrong. I know, I'll keeping popping wheelies and pushing it. Fool

[@schraubenschussel]

Exactly what I was just about to write.

[@strudwick1195]

I would shut it off right away

[@danniebergall6356]

Revving the shit out of it all the time and riding like that, ya no wonder it only lasted just over 100 hours. Riding it like that is like racing motocross, and those riders rebuild their bikes long before 100 hours.

[@Clouderrr]

Daniel Niebergall what’s the point of owning a bike if your not gonna ride it

[@amvanquish5555]

Clouder He is sayin you should fix it before any more damage happens..

[@bryanc447]

Damn the honda still wanted to live when it was dying

[@thomasfry2617]

I Like pie that's because they are built to last

[@yesno3031]

honda is favorite easy

[@mtbridingog9083]

They all are crazy machines Honda don't die so easy if maintained properly 🤐😈

[@kontrollme9034]

Hondas last and are very strong

[@WOLFEY0812]

Honda's are definitely one of the best 💯

[@Michaeltje89]

no power?? let's rev it up.... lmao

[@eamh2002]

When Honda breaks down its the owners fault, other brands its usually the bike ;)

[@mtbridingog9083]

eamh2002 your correct honda never breaks if maintained

[@DayStun]

MxForever you obviously didn’t get the joke there junior

[@zuronuro2864]

same with yamaha the rider usually cant ride or dont look after em

[@salasana7517]

MxForever well i've had pretty shit luck with all kind of bikes except Honda..

[@GamerPro735]

that year model the valves typically get done up

[@harambaegaming2523]

I like how when he thinks something is wrong he just does a wheelie like it’s gonna fix the problem

[@joeymeyer8261]

So smart. When you are notably losing power you should definitely wheelie. That will help your limp home for sure.

[@justinjones7021]

Thing sounds like a bag of marbles and he keeps trying to pull a wheelie

[@luckyluciano785]

2 years late but shit made me laugh

[@kieranmac1252]

Why didnt you pull in when u relised it had no power

[@nelsonshire]

No power? Just do some wheelies it will buff out

[@kj6458]

ANYONE WITH HONDAS!! Your bike won't break unless you don't take care of it, that most of the other bikes too. Anyone's bike can break after not taking care of it. But I was on rev limiter in 5th gear on my crf150f for probably a straight 4-6 mins. I was on a long strip of road and trying to get home fast. But besides the point take care of your bikes and change radiator and oil fluid, and even your air filter and you won't have any problems. Grip it and rip it, stay safe!

[@jaydenbarteaux8768]

SuperiorVlogs that’s because it’s a f not a r , Other wise your almost guaranteed to blow it up

[@menovitunparamm4116]

SuperiorVlogs why would u hold it 4-6mins on rev limiter!?!? U shouldnt even have bike..

[@playstationfreak1111]

SuperiorVlogs i actually have to disagree! I work in a enduro/mx specialized shop so i can tell you that what you listed above adds no life span to your bike! On a 4 stroke there are a lot of things to check and clean up/adjust/change like changing pistons, changing valves or re adjusting the play in the valves, checking clutch, changing spark plug and many many others

[@JakeVag]

You're an idiot for comparing a trail bike with a race bike.

[@playstationfreak1111]

rcguy8038 who? Me?

[@StilwellMotovlogger]

I have a 1995 kdx 200 and its only had 1 other piston in its life, it runs amazingly. I did a ton of engine work on it recently and i bet ive gained at least 5-7 horsepower. It was pretty much when i got it, ive spent just over $2000 on it total and it runs like a dream. Im even racing it in March

[@the_ltz_guymaster7912]

That’s a major difference to a cr250f I had a 94 kdx they were built to last u can’t compare it to a cr man

[@speedtv6151]

Them Honda's are great. Had a 2004 450r that lasted 8 years on stock engine before it blew. I beat the hell out of it almost every day of the year.

[@blakevella2762]

I've got a 2004 crf250x and it would have to have well over 1000 hours without a rebuild, hoping mine doesn't do the same as yours

[@MrTNBassmaster]

Blake Vella change the oil all the time and it shouldn't happen

[@blakevella2762]

I didn't change it for over a year, I topped it up a couple time but only just changed it the other day. Did a filter inspection and there was only a couple metal shavings, nothing to be worried about though. Still runs fuckin good too

[@xBeanx]

Hey Blake, and damn that's one tough bike you got.

[@blakevella2762]

xBean, Aww mate it's still got the original piston and crank, I daily it to school and to football (AFL) here in Australia and I just keep up with the oil changes and it keeps going which is great. I've got 14/45 gearing and a FMF powercore 4 tail pipe, geared the way it is I've had it up to 90mph which is pretty good for a 250. It's done 7,000km's (Sorry don't know what that is in miles).

[@jaydenbarteaux8768]

pghdave420 ya those motors arnt tunned up nearly as much as the bikes so they last a long time

[@mccoymodelcars9117]

I’ve had a Honda 400ex from 2007 since new and still to this day no lack of power all you need to do is maintain it

[@Jimmy_Watt]

I have a 2008 model. It will be the only motorcycle I have ever owned, of which I will not miss in any way, after it's sold.

[@jakub151]

Why

[@Jimmy_Watt]

@@jakub151 It was incredibly hard to get started, even with valves perfectly in spec. It also stalled or "flamed out" extremely easily, usually when I was leaned over in a tight corner, expecting a hit of power. More than once, I fell over in a rut, looking like a noob because my bike died. Finally, the head had a serious issue with premature wear, and one machine shop, minus $500, and I got it fixed and out the fucking door. The motor design wasn't the easiest to work on either, if I remember correctly. Steer clear, get a two stroke.

[@desertspeed2934]

Opporator error and lack of maintenance. I'd like to see a likely picture of his black oil and gauled top end. I'm at 1,200hrs and 32,000mi on a tricked 450r. Still perfect engine components and stock shims.

[@Jacksonflax]

No fucking way your ass is still on stock shims after 1,200 hours

[@ergeantsergaent1121]

desert speed no you don’t stfu

[@OGKILLa9365]

desert speed if it was a xr400r I might believe you had 1200 hours. But on a 450r motor without a new top end and valves there's no way..

[@easternridgeoutdoors830]

Bs

[@menovitunparamm4116]

desert speed LOL sure 1200h xD

[@Monkeypumper420]

damn... that's usually when your like 20 miles from camp... just went through this myself.

[@xBeanx]

Same exact thing happened to me :( Crankshaft rod bearing killed itself, went all through the engine, needed a complete rebuild. Also noticed a loss of power before it happened, was on a lake bed pinning it and my cousins on their YZ85's started pulling away, I was like wtf is going on and then it blew.

[@lehighleroy6215]

Where is the area you are riding ? Looks like Lehigh acres Florida.

[@willcross992]

Those are some nice trails though

[@willcross992]

Matúš Macejka not necessarily the ground but the trees and scenery look nice

[@Themotolife]

Only just over a 100 hours that's not very long

[@MrTNBassmaster]

THE MOTO LIFE you have to change the oil CRFs have little oil capacity so , Change it all the time

[@vastianocara1792]

depends how you hard you ride. i have a gokart engine that i have to change the piston every 10 hours and the bottom end at 25... but it does rev to 22'000....

[@ronniemac3671]

Lookin like the compound...go out there all the time!

[@StilwellMotovlogger]

Sure sounds like it needed a rebuild

[@niksklavins9670]

"Oh, my bike seems to be losing power, what to do? *keeps* *wheelying*

[@flynnburr4621]

Nikalogy did you mean trying to wheelie

[@MatttKelly]

"Somethings wrong with my bike...Let's investigate"... **Pops wheelie as test**

[@screener545]

Your fault not the bike. You were going way to hard and then doing wheelies and you starved your engine of oil. Then after your engine was running dry (no power the first time) you decided to rip shit and keep doing wheelies ending in seizing. If that were me id have shut it off immideately when lost power. Let it cool a bit and check the oil. If there was enough in it. Limp it back to the truck take it home and rebuild it before you destory the lower casing

[@haddrifterz]

you do realize these bikes cant starve of oil unless there is none if that was the case they would die all the time in moto x and other races with the g force they pull. and that is a very common part to fail on that bike i have one and ive been through 2 in 2 years and i dont wheelie all the time so you might want to look shit up before bashing him.

[@screener545]

04RideRed I do not need to "look it up". I build performance engines. Unless it was a 2stroke, and even those can starve of oil; youre wrong.

[@screener545]

Brandon Flowers myself 😂 and one for a friend one time why would i build for anyone else hahaha

[@haddrifterz]

Because you can't build a engine for shit and dont want people complaining

[@screener545]

04RideRed k

[@motrlife3209]

How many hours would a Crf250 need till next rebuild

[@MrTNBassmaster]

motR LifE as long as you take care of it i.e. changing the oil all the time it should last a long time.

[@JayyDesignns]

hours wise the service manual says 20 hours for your top end but if you're not racing and good maintenance you will get easily 90+ hours, for your bottom end I would say 200-400+ hours just depends on how you take care of it and how good of a job you do at rebuilding it because you can get way more than those amounts of hours on your rebuilds if you take care of your bike stay on top of services listen for whirring noises (shit bearings) check your valves every few rides considering hondas arent the best on valves and your bike will last you a very long time

[@SOLDOZER]

200-4000 hours?????? You're smoking crack. Its a high compression race bike, not an XR200.

[@SOLDOZER]

If you could get 200-400 on it, Honda would not be telling you "20 hours".

[@JayyDesignns]

20-25 hours is for the Top End my mates 2005 CRF250R has just passed its 100h mark on its bottom end with no signs of wearing out. You've probably had bad experiences with hondas but the only way to make sure a honda doesnt break down is to listen for whirring and check your oil filter after every ride change your oils every 5 hours and oil filter every other. You sound as if you only have half an idea on what you're talking about

[@InfluxFPV]

The good old compound, immediately recognized it.

[@thechevroletcorvette-li3bx]

Are these bikes mostly reliable I am looking into getting one and don’t want to get something that will just blow up. If anyone owns one please let me know how reliable it has been also looking into the 150r any advice would be helpful

[@sk8tinboy6]

Hey what park is this it looks like it’s in fl?

[@OGKILLa9365]

Yamaha race engines are better..i had a 2006 yz250f with 125 hours. And it still ran like new. Only thing it had the valves adjusted once. I ended up selling it.

[@danielbargas3377]

Funny my crank went out doing wheelies too

[@2000magnumrt]

Oh somthings wrong,its ok just pull another wheelie,lucky that thing didnt blow parts all over the place.

[@WOLFEY0812]

That sucks bro.. You still on YT? Hope all is well

[@awesomebilly9601]

everyone saying hondas are shit I have a story, last Christmas my Crf 250 got stolen, when it was stolen it had 74 hours and was in need of a rebuild it wasn't running good, that night I was at a party when it got stolen, now over 4 months later the police recoverd it, it looks like junk and has a air filter pretty much made of dirt but after 4 kicks it started! it didnt run good as the carby needs a good clean but it still ran after being full starved of trans and motor oil, beer and water as coolant it ran, if yall want to see before and after stolen pics dm me on instagram @shaydrowden just ask for the dirtbike picturess

[@kennedy796]

#1, to make an engine last even with fast riding, no 0-100% throttle applications. Be smooth

[@Ryderknoblauch509]

I have a old 50 and that thing is 14 years old and still runs like its brand new

[@jaxonwilkie2389]

Feels motor failing instant reaction is to pull a wheelie

[@garrettthurston6341]

Exact same thing happend to my 05 crf250r

[@corysaylor6877]

I did this on a rm250 extremely well taken care of just broke suddenly

[@fatnfurious9171]

Ur big rod end bearing?

[@adslammer1359]

How did u get back

[@TypicalPeen]

Even when it was dying it was still wheeling. Fuckin mint

[@chrissteepy4646]

Where is this.

[@123noahterfry]

literally the same thing happened to my ktm 250 sx... I was 5th gear pinned and it felt like I was in third. then my engine died

[@savag3crf830]

Yea my crank bearing was roasted. I put a weisco top and bottom in it and sold it due to joining the military.

[@123noahterfry]

Did it run good as new afterwards? Thanks for your service.

[@Raggedjons24.7]

Is that at the compound

[@conorchapman5856]

You’re at the compound right

[@stunt-]

Probably because you were giving it the most odd impulses on throttle I've ever witnessed, like you were tryna hit vtec or something.

[@matthewgleavey5126]

Gamer Games lmfao also notice how it sounded terrible the whole video and notice how after it lost power like 3 times he kept trying to wheelie it

[@stunt-]

Matthew muthafuckin G sounds like he was unknowingly riding the clutch the whole time lol

[@thornevanbrocklin2283]

almost exactly what my bike did 4 hours after a top end rebuild. except i wasn’t going that hard lol

[@MechaNick03]

The rod bearing on this bike should be replaced well before 100 hours this is a really common thing for the Crf250r’s

[@mtbridingog9083]

100 hours on the crank you dont race so how did it blow up maybe you never maintianed it correctly i.know people who ride like me everyday on 4 strokes and have way over 100 hours on the rod bearings and our bikes havent needed a crank replacement

[@matthewweisenburger2095]

Looks like Florida where is this at?

[@FreddyBelong14]

lol i agree im from florida

[@Belicose777]

Definitely looks like the trails off of I95 by cocoa OR Palm Bay. Almost certain it's the Palm Bay compound.

[@ronniemac3671]

Compound in SW Palm Bay. I know exactly were he is, I'm out there every weekend

[@Belicose777]

nunya bidness did you by any chance see the giant group that went out there a few months ago called the "Guaya Fango?" Had to have been about 100 of them.

[@ronniemac3671]

[@christopherwatts7105]

Probably irrelevant, but I have an 07, and it likes nothing but to go balls deep. Lots of use of the mid range in this video.

[@bernek9000]

So many warnings and you totally failed to see it ? If it wasn't working right do you think that giving it max throttle will help in any way ? LOL so fun to watch :D

[@captainpickle]

My bike just got the floats pivot pin put in i can start it up runs perfect but after not a minute of riding it just dies off completely. I can start it again ride it then the same will happen again

[@snailwrestler1997]

No power? Let’s just scrape my cylinder jug by doing wheelies when somethings clearly wrong

[@awesomehonda7384]

I gotta call millennium and tell them no hot rods for me! Always wiseco or stock

[@SOLDOZER]

Wiseco are the absolute worst.

[@damonholmes9299]

Hot rods arent bad. They are japanese and are near stock quality, but cheaper. Genuine honda is the best you can get as far as crank reliability, but you want the cheapest shittiest most garbage unreliable chinese parts? Sure go with Wiseco.

[@SOLDOZER]

Hot Rods are not Japanese. Say so right on the box "Made in Taiwan". Made right in the same factory as garbage Wiseco.

[@michaellamarche1008]

The BBQ Jerk go oem, hotrods shit and weisco blows

[@samdittmar5142]

Wiseco pistons are great though

[@opplez1159]

Similar thing happened to my yz125 😭 I was riding about half throttle in 6th and it started dying then made some weird noises and now the engine is all apart in my garage

[@american0153]

Lower rod bearing failure or piston lean hot seizure? Usually if you run too lean with less load at half throttle, your top end heats up more due to lack of lubrication from running too lean, and usually seizes on the exhaust side. Can make some very loud sounds when it happens because of the metal to metal contact

[@opplez1159]
