CRF150RB VS KX85 - Side By Side Comparison

Hi what bike will suit me best. I’m currently 5’1

[@kevinriess]

I mean the 150R is a tad taller but it also depends on what your going to do with the bike, like riding trails or track and what not. If you like 4 strokes then you can get the regular size 150r which is a bit shorter than the one in the video, or the 85!

[@podogot4429]

Thanks you very much!

[@armandhammer9]

i’m conflicted, i’m choosing between a kx85 and 100 and don’t know which one i would have more fun on. i’ll be doing street riding because i’m from nyc and i’ll take it to the trails every once in a while. i like the powerband on the 85, is that a good choice?

[@kevinriess]

@@armandhammer9 I mean if your a bigger rider than the 100 would be great! Not much different from the 85 just a bit bigger and a little bit more power. Would be perfect for both the trails and the street

How often do you replace you pistons in the 150

Or do you not have to I was told you did

[@GITBCrab]

@@Superspeedy3s6771 it’s about 500$ every 100-150 hours depending on how you ride

Never worth it to me because I always replace my top ends for 100$ and they last me 200 hours on my yz

[@dmoolah77489]

which bike do you think is faster the kx85 or crf150r

[@kevinriess]

I mean the 150r is definitely more torquey and the 85 has more top end so I would assume the 85 has a higher top speed maybe but I really dont know. I’m sure you could look it up and find out as well!

[@moto39x17]

They have different types of power the kx is probably better for motocross being lighter but if you are like a wheelie goon or you ride it on the street or trails the 150r would be better but the kx is better for track riding

What is better as a do it all bike cause I like riding track and going fast but I alsp do a lot of trail and pit/dune riding

[@kevinriess]

I mean both are great bikes to do both of what you like but sometimes with trail riding a two stroke it gets hard, because your not always going fast and it could potentially overheat but that’s not likely going to happen! I think just lean more towards what you like and are more comfortable on and it will be a great choice either way!

[@alvenameyer709]

What do you like better

[@kevinriess]

I mean the 85 was my friends so I honestly didn’t ride it often but the 150 is a great bike with amazing power and it’s very reliable, and the 85 is also a great bike for racing, and trail riding. But if I hat the choice between the two it would probably be the 150RB

[@kings17court]

I always hear about the CRF150R being hard to start and warming up, and this one started first kick, and warmed up with no issues. Do you have the stock jetting, or did you tinker with it?

They are def hard to start and warm up but in the video it was most likely already warmed up! Mines starts up quick but takes a bit to warm up, and yes all stock jetting and everything!

Is the chassis of the crf150r bigger than the 85? Or about the same? Like from bars to end of seat length… looking for something that is just a bit longer than an 85 but about the same seat height. 85 feels too cramped, but a 125 2t or 2504t is too tall.

I mean I would definitely try to find one and see how you fit on it and see how you like it. It’s definitely a big jump from a 110 and these things will put you on your ass! But an 85 will do the same so it’s really whatever will fit you better and what you feel more comfortable on👍🏻

I do not know what size jet is in there at the moment It would be stock size but I forgot it had a aftermarket pipe so the jets are probably tweaked a bit. If your having problems definitely open up the carb and clean it out and see what size jets your running and if they are different than stock buy new OEM ones!
