How to remove and reinstall a CRF carb (and most modern 4 stroke MX carbs)

Honda CRF carburetor removal and installation. This carburetor is notoriously difficult to remove and reinstall. Hopefully this video will help with the process. This video applies to the CRF450X, CRF450R, CRF250X, and CRF250R. This will also work for most other modern 4 stoke perimeter (aluminum) frame MX bikes.

excellent camera work and technical info. after my crf250x sat in the garage for 2 years, this video was instrumental in it's rebirth.

Well- I got my 250x all disassembled last night- got frustrated and started drinking. Now I've forgotten everything and need to try to put it back together. Thanks to this video- I shouldn't have too much trouble.

Thank you for posting this video. I have a 2005 CRF450X, and this video made removing the carb and putting it back together fairly pain free. First time I've ever worked on a bike, so the steps were very helpful.

I honestly don't know what the he'll Honda was thinking when the mad the carb this complicated to get to

5:05 is bringing me to a halt. These wires are SO MUCH FUN! HONDA DID SUCH A GOOD JOB WITH CREATING CHAOS!

Easier to rotate the carb by hand to break the boot to carb. Just loosen both sides. Push and pull on the bowl and Voila your carb will pivot enough to break the bond. On an X model 450 its easier to remove the wire hook that is bolted to the frame just above the carb after you pull the tank. I loosen the sub frame bolts, remove the both bottoms and pivot it up and out of the way. Tighten a bolt to hold it there. I do not pull the rear shock. The carb can be pulled up and out. It ain't easy as it is with the shock removed. But you don't have to do all that to pull the carb.

Thank you for the step by step video. This really helped me.

This guy made it way harder than it has to be

[@michaelstapleton3538]

As Awesome honda said, much quicker way....too many steps here. No stand needed, no pulling the rear shock or sub frame. Unbolt the cables from the handle bars and fish them back through the bottom with the carb, warm the intake boots to make them a little softer/ easier to work with. I had the carb down and out through the left side in less than 20 mins. Very thorough and informative video though.

Dear lord... What a pain. Thanks for the video. I have to do this on my CRF250X. Oh joy!

[@jaykay8570]

[@MrExbravo]

Hi well I followed your video to ever single detail. I did not replace the carb. just cleaned it very well. surprisingly IT HELPED A LOT!!. but, not its leaking gas I didn't adjust the gas yet i'm guessing its just running to rich but, i'm not sure any ideas?

[@MrExbravo]

[@citabjockey]

Oh my god. This is what four stroke folks have to deal with just to access the carb? Paahhhllleeezzzzeeee!
