Default CRF150F Teardown and Tuning

I'm not sure how much tuning I'll be doing on this little Honda CRF150 but I'll sure tear it down. I would love to do a little carb work to get it to breath a little more.

For now I just wanted to make the bike be all it could be in stock form. This included general disassemble and lubricate all the suspension bearings and pivot points. The I wanted to make double sure the air filter was cleaned and oiled. Changing the oil in the crankcase was top priority as well as the bike hadn't been used in almost 10 years. This baby even has the stock Pirelli tires on it still. Great little bike.

Why am I messing around with this little Honda? Well it's pretty surprising just how fast this bike scoots down the trail. It's so much fun jumping around from right to left down the trails bunny hopping obstacles and just having a good time. This bike surely comes up short in the sand but our local riding areas are more technical and don't have too many wide open spaces so this bike is a blast to play around on.




It was just a little dirty in general and corroded as it was stored up near the ocean. Then I stripped it down, repainted the exhuast, cranked up the rear suspension, removed the baffle in the muffler, put new Acerbis hand guards and Renthal handlebars on it and wAhZZaM here is what we have now. This is a mean little machine that will catch your friends off guard out on the trail!

Here is a video of me playing around on the CRF150 and I pick up the pace and pass a few of my friends on their larger bikes. This little 150 is a lot of fun.
