This Bike is a BLAST!!! Honda Crf 150 First Ride

[@chaz13748]

I just bought this exact same bike (year and all) for my son tonight. He (10yrs old) got finished building his own dirt bike 2 months ago, started with an Apollo frame. Bought every piece (EVERY PEICE) new and added it to the frame till he completed his own 125. Last Wednesday evening some A hole came onto our property and stole his dirt bike. I literally went to work and cried because of what happened. And to a 10 yr old kid at that. So I did my research. And decided on this bike. Oh, don't worry about him being only 10. He's 5'1" adult 7.5 shoe and 28/26 pants. Yes he's 10 I swear. Built just like Zack Thomas (Dolphins). And to think I'm only 5'11". But all in all. My little man deserves this bike. I felt like he was being punished for absolutely nothing at all. You have fun with it bro. I'm sure he will!! #bikelife #looktwice

[@jonthelamb4549]

It's Me that sucks man, hope he is having fun on his new bike

[@emerymayhew2211]

Yeah I have a Honda crf 150 also people really are assholes sorry for that hope he is having fun

[@mr.stealyourgrill1190]

I got this bike when I was 13 I was 4' 11"ish I'm 15 and I'm 5' 6" now its loads of fun, plenty of power for my flat yard and it's crazy reliable I ride it fast and rough, never had any problems, just the normal routine maintenance. But yeah your lil dude will have plenty of fun on this bike for years.

[@okanoyuki]

Mr. StealYourGrill 1 lucky i have a crf70f my grandpa got me on my 13th birthday (14 now) it is a great starter but i have really outgrown it in every way. I am about 5.3ish and i have been trying to find out what bike would be best for pretty cheap( my parents are definitely not going to buy me another, my mom didnt even want me to have a doodlebug minibike let alone a pit bike/ dirtbike.) so i have about 650 in cash saved for a pc/ laptop but i am starting to think i want to save up for a year or two and work towards buying a db for anywhere from $800-$1800. What are any suggestions if you have any?

[@mr.stealyourgrill1190]

@@okanoyuki the crf150f is gonna be your best bet for power and size, you also have the Yamaha ttr125 and the Kawasaki klx125 I believe all of these will run anywhere from 800 to 1600 i saved up for several years and got my 150 for 1k, which is a good deal. But yeah if I were you I'd go for the honda just because you get more bang for your buck. And I had a 70 for years till I got my 150 I still ride it when I wanna just mess around.

[@TNTMOTO]

Just letting you know, that screw at the front of the carb is called a fuel mixture screw. Air mixture screws are at the back of carbs and generally on 2 strokes..

Note for 2vintage:" When checking oil with a dip stick that threads in, you DO NOT need to thread the dip stick in to check the oil level. You simply rest the dip stick in the hole, hold it for a few seconds and then check. You will get a incorrect reading if you thread it in - Tells you right in the manual...

Hope you got one. I still have my 07’ that I bought brand new and ride it all the time. I just recently blew the rear shock and had to go to Honda to pick up a new one. Other than that these bikes are amazing. Top speed is around 58mph and they’re light so it’s so easy to handle. Love my Honda CRF150F!

[@94concours]

I bought a 2008 150F a few months ago as my first dirt bike. I use it to ride with my son and his CRF50F. The 150F is a fun bike to fool around on. It’s no race bike, but I have fun with it!

Well that is stated in the "f"... its for trails not tracks

[@5thheldrightout]

i had an 04' crf150f, it had been messed with the jetting, and had a jet four times the size in it. if you modify the exhaust and open it up, then jet the bike up a couple notches from stock, that alone will add 2-3 horsepower.

Don't worried about the haters keep up the hood work brother

[@RealSuburbanCowboy]

Use Mothers aluminum polish on the white plastic. I know it sounds werid, but it works. You won't be sorry. Also, you shouldn't twist in the oil level cap. Just set it in there and pull it back out. You might be running too low oil. Twist it in only after you have checked it. Those air cooled Honda engines are practically bullet proof!

The correct way to check the oil on that bike Is to pull the dip stick out wipe it off and just stick it back in don't screw it back in to check it just simply stick it in till it stops then pull it out and that's the oil level and it helps to have the bike level you dip stick
