HONDA XR150 HORSEPOWER DYNO TEST AND 222CC BIG BORE KIT INSTALL

We slap the xr150 on the dyno for a baseline! Testing out the 222cc cylinder kit. Stay tuned to see the results, this kit is NOT available yet! We're hoping to be able to provide an engine package for under $500, putting this machine at around 18hp/15 lbft! If you own one of these you know how these bikes severely lack torque!

That’s going to be a sweet build! Can’t wait to see the power difference

[@LinkFelton]

Saw your post on Facebook. Looking forward to seeing the final product for this and it's outcome! Thank you for working on this!

[@R.B_B]

Really nice to see this bike there. This model was developed in Brazil called Honda NX150 Bros years a go. Today, we have the 160cc efi. And here we have o huge industries for small hondas performance parts

[@TwoStrokeJ]

Yea I think I’d be in for this when you guys finish it

[@Meeky815]

This was amazing! More videos please

[@philipcloutier2553]

Of course I have been waiting for this build with great anticipation . As a few hp more will make it possible to do 60 mph plus and short hwy rides will become safer , I have a bridge on the hwy at 100 klm / 62 mph this would save me the reroute that adds 10 min to the trip . My top speed so far is 66 mph with the wind and slightly down hill I am 250 lbs. , my bike has 2500 miles so it is broken in already and is stock , I have the 115 main jet to install . I am intrigued as to what gearing the BB kit can spin , hopefully a speed of at least 70 mph . My credit card is in hand and I wait patiently . This bike is my favorite in my collection, GL1800 , Navi , XR150L , 230 suzuki 4 wheeler . Do you think it will need a rev- delete kit perhaps to increase the rpm .

[@CustomCourts]

More vids with the xr150 please!

[@MrJacksmithFTW]

go look for Brazilian tuned bikes like these. they go even bigger on bore

[@nothuntersmith]

do they make the kits themselves? how big do they go?

[@MrJacksmithFTW]

@@nothuntersmith yes all made there. They go as big as they can lots of bikes on the 80-90mm but I think there's some even bigger

[@Hi-Tower_Hobbies]

The "restrictor" plate you removed was only the snorkle for wet riding. There is a metal screen that needs to be removed under the air filter.

[@AppalachianMountainRiders]

Just bought me an XR150 a few weeks ago and love it! I’m about to do exhaust, jets, and air box mod to open it up a bit. This may be next on my list! I will say mine fires right up in one or two cranks with no choke and it’s all stock so not sure why yours is so hard or running so lean. Seems more to me like your pilot jet is gunked up a bit or something…lol. Was awesome to see some actual Dyno numbers on the little bike for sure!

[@rooskie]

that tube is part of the 'pair' valve setup. what it does is suck fresh air in thru that whole contraption and introduce air into the exhaust (it drafts/sucks it in) . this goes back to the 80s, the old C10 kawasaki Concourses had this far back as 86. It does 2 things: runs the exhaust hotter so it burns more 'unburnt' fuel in the exhaust (the claim) and 2: it gives a leaner reading at idle to pass emissions. it does not recirculate into the carburetor. so not truly an EGR. Yes, i defeat them on all my bikes as well. (including my xr150). s a side note, I fit a nibbi 26mm round slide on mine to retain the stock airbox and intake tube, i lathed the bellmouth down to just fit the stock runner tube to the air box and it works well. curious to see what your results on this ar as i have a 200cc kit sitting on my shelf. Good to see there's room to do some intake work, that's dismal stock. Keep up the good work! ~ M

[@DustySteel]

What did you do with the sensor going to the stock carb?

[@philipcloutier2553]

It's not a sensor It's a carb heater . To assist the carb to get the carb to optimal operating temperature .

[@DustySteel]

Okay… what did you do with the heater?

[@rooskie]

@dustysteele5408 ​ I made an adapter and put it on the new carb. its not nec needed as a heater...but needs to be plugged in as it (the ign module/ecm) looks for the resistance. it doesn't activate until ambient gets below 45F, fwiw.

[@telcobilly]

Good information, thanks! I have a stock Philippines spec XR150 with a PZ27. I've been looking at the Nibbi carb too. You think the 26mm is the best choice for a stock engine?

[@Wix22509]

Whats the compression ratio with the 70mm kit

[@tlhproductionsusa4988]

Very interested. But really I think a 190ish would be big enough for me. Would be interested in a kickstarter kit too.

[@Scooterswapshop]

We will be trying that too.

[@philipcloutier2553]

I can think of nothing better than to upgrade this XR150L to a XR190L now that would be awesome. And we know the parts are already beening made by Honda . Please make it happen 🙏 .

[@smileyguyz]

The BBR big bore kit for the 2006-whatever the last year of the CRF150F was should work in the XR150. It's a 195cc iirc, and it's the same motor.

[@holeshot1721]

This is absolutely the craziest piston upgrade i have ever seen!! A 57 mm to 70 mm is insane!!!! Usally its like 56 to 56.5 or 57mm but 13mm bigger is CRAZY!!! Must be a while new bike

[@brandondanovsky341]

I've assembled a few and I daily one just got to tune carb right and mine fires right up even in the cold

[@thepaintballnoob7982]

Have you guys figured out a carb setup for it yet? And what should I run for the stock carb jetting

[@mikegunn3152]

A road review would be baddass

[@DoodleSpongeCircleShirt]

Did you swap out the cam or did you just use what was in the big bore kit

[@user-mb4kj9rj7u]

Where is the Dyno run?

[@DustySteel]

I agree, where’s the dyno run. Left us with a cliffhanger.

[@DustySteel]

A video of top speed run is also necessary after big bore install.

[@adriancabilao9063]

Wow, i just wanna ask, did you guys did a new valve pocket for the new piston?

[@johngoepel5263]

Cool as hell, but such an anti-climactic ending. Was really hoping to see some dyno pulls with the big bore kit.

[@philipcloutier2553]

The boys are teasing us , my heart is still pounding . I am sure this will transform the fun factor.

[@cyester]

Weird I've never had an issue with mine starting. Granted I live in Alabama so maybe its a climate thing.

[@philipcloutier2553]

It's actually a jet or air fuel mix adjustment , there are limits such as altitude also atmosphere conditions like temperature . Typical carburetor issues The upgraded XR190L In South America is a more refined machine .

[@danieldoyle253]

Gorditos. Saturday night meet up spot for Ferry 2 Ferry! Shout out Shannon Hall

[@samweymouth8586]

I’m interested in the bike but the lack of power is a tad annoying. If I could upgrade for $500-1k it seems reasonable. Would love to see vids of testing it all out.

[@homemovies864]

What size jet did you end up using

[@kendogg2543]

Please do turbo video with the big bore kit

[@TangibleExistence]

Port match intake to carb to max flow with that over-bore upgrade…. 😎

[@mrn0b0dy38]

Routing exhaust gasses back into the carb is only for emissions it decreases performance

[@alexhurlbut3179]

[@drewzak01]

Hard to start? Never ran into that issue on my xr

[@Scooterswapshop]

Yes it’s a very common issue depending on altitude

[@drewzak01]

@Scooterswapshop interesting, hope it doesn't happen to mine. Love that lil thing lol!

[@DustySteel]

Could a guy put an O2 sensor in that top “egr” pipe or would that not read correctly?

[@Scooterswapshop]

Hmm. That’s a good thought. Possibly

[@DustySteel]

@@Scooterswapshop I found a $30 narrowband kit and thought maybe that could work. My apologies for being super annoying about a turbo setup on the live chat. Now that I think about it, if I were to add a cheap eBay turbo then I might just do a simple blow through setup. I want one. Doesn’t mean everyone does.

[@isaacbarreto988]

I have a skmilar proyect but its actually interesting since i havent installed the big bore on it but I started with other mods slowly till the point now where i think ill be able of beating up the ktm 200 duke (based on the daily, random street drags that happens often where I live jaja) and i do have the bore but i was focused on doing a 0$ full mods for the xr which almost works out perfectly untill temperature started to be an issue and once i bought 1 thing I couldnt stop later jajaja now i have modified the bike so much from its original configuration and the most significant modifications where made by hand so 0$ spent and its craxy how much you can do with some time a mototul, and some imagination.... and brazilian youtubers🤣😅 mh xr goes up to 150 on the gps i obviously changed the sproket kit too to a 16-38 also I havent tested the full speed cause im still waiting for some higher power parts like balves and springs to avoid a tragedy but ill keep whoever cares posted about it

[@jasondreams202]

[@philipcloutier2553]

I looked at that motor and it appears that will not fit the XR150L frame , maybe the minimotos, cub , monkey , or trail , please post pics if I am mistaken ?

[@DustySteel]

@@philipcloutier2553you probably are not mistaken. I’ve thought about buying a 250cc engine off of Amazon to see if it would fit but most likely will not.

[@philipcloutier2553]

I figure 70-75 mph is probably fast enough on this bike and a bike under 300 lbs . A truck might easily blow you off the road along with cross winds anyway . But short 1 or 2 exists at a matching speeds with traffic . Will transform this bike into a all around great rual and nice city commuter . Efficient/Economical. Everyone needs one right . Sadly I have not seen another one yet or a Navi here Ottawa South . Over 2500 miles on each .

[@MadMotoz]

Hey bro just get a little ninja 400... Good learner motorcycle making 45+ HP stock only for $5,000

[@DustySteel]

I’m pretty sure they know that. I knew that too when I bought my XR150L. I bought it mainly for my wife who commutes and wanted it for the 100mpg. Ninja 400 gets around 45mpg. The XR150L could definitely use a little bit more power though for hills. Having even just one hp more could make all the difference. I’d be fine with it giving up some mpg if 5mph more was achievable.

[@Scooterswapshop]

I can’t stand the ninja small cc bikes to be honest. I’ve got large cc bikes, I don’t care for street bikes anymore. I’ve had 200hp motorcycles in the past I have no care for that anymore :)

[@philipcloutier2553]

At 65 yrs . I like upright seating . like my GL1800 . The comfortable seat of the whole XR bikes line up . Great gas mileage and Dual Sport as well. And let's not forget the cheapest 150cc brand name bike for North America. It's simply easy. fun , cheap . No brainer Thanks for your efforts much appreciated .
