@@LOWCOUNTRYDIY I just bought a 92' XR250L, needed something street legal after I got rid of my 85' XR350R. Thanks for making this detailed video. I'll probably be throwing an xr250r carb on the xr250l.
Thanks! I just got a 96 xr250r, couldn’t figure out how to get the carb out of there, so thanks. I didn’t work out that I needa take the tank off. Durrrr 😂
Yo thanks heaps for this man, been slacking off alot lately to clean my carby for my 2003 xr250r!! Definitely gonna clean it in a few hours when the suns up 👌🏼
The little brass seat that the float needle goes into ..... is that removable, or is there anything to that? I've seen videos on other model carbs, where they have a little o-ring at the base, which could cause leaking problems.
The coold blodee issues is easy 3 kicks, off posti9n chocke on then turn key on one kick if it does not start full throutle and kick it and it mybcase it sarts rigjt away. I have three of the xr 1992 to 2994 and all three have ofcourse spaking clean carbs, spajing ne woil and good fuel. A must
Can you do a video on the air filter? I bought a bike and it's missing the air filter and on eBay it shows a cage to hold on the older models air filter dose the 2002 models have this cage?
Yes it does have a cage. See here :www.partzilla.com/catalog/honda/motorcycle/2001/xr250r-a/air-cleaner-a Its part number 4 and 5 that you want. Part #4 is 17214-MN1-670. Part #5 is 17216-KCZ-000 You're welcome!
Wow I don't mean to sound like a know it all, take carb out then remove cables, you don't need to take manifold off. Your creating a ton of work for yourself.
Thanks for this video! I just picked up a very low mile (73 miles total) 2001 XR250R and it will only start when on full choke. Mid-choke and no-choke makes the bike quickly bog and die (even though I turned the idle speed up a bit). Wondering if I need to do a total rebuild, or if I should just just drain the float bowl, put in fresh gas, richen the mixture a bit (per your video), and make sure the spark plug is clean and properly gapped? Any ideas why mid-choke or no-choke causes the bike to immediately bog and die?
Both of the Jets should have small holes in them. You should be able to see through the holes on the jets. If not them run a small piece of wire through them.
Mike! Thanks for this awesome video. I recently purchased an 02 XR250 in NC, and have been having some suspected carb issues. I stumble upon your video, crack the seat and low and behold I notice the same exact (and unique) handy work on the tank strap. Wondering if you think this might be the same bike? The plastics are back to stock, as is the exhaust, but the similarity of the tank strap is uncanny. i.imgur.com/SbKyr97.jpg Thanks for this video! This beast is still a bear to start! Hoping some carb love will bring her back to life.
2354csg , the tank straps are made that way, mine is exactly the same way. Honda did that as a safety measure in case the rubber thing breaks the tank will stay in place. Some have a steel band (like in the video) and some have a steel cable.
I haven’t ridden my old XR250 in years and of course the carby needs a clean out. Thanks for an awesome video tutorial 👍💪
Thanks!
haha im buying a 1995 xr. thanks for helping me get familiar with these bikes. its old but gotta start somewhere!
I know this is a late reply however do you still have the XR?

I wanted to say thank you for the video. I just bought a 96 xr250, and it's my first bike. So I have a lot to learn.

Thanks bro. Had the chance to go out and enjoy my bike yesterday because of your video. I cleaned out a clogged low flow jet.
Thanks
Great video, thanks for making it. Buddy picked up an XR250R and we'll be doing this tonight
Thanks

I have a 93 and this by far has been the best video I have seen with rebuilding the carb. im looking forward to the oil change video!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks man, gave me the confidence to clean the carb myself. Made a big difference
Very great break down! Thank you 🙏
Thanks for watching!
hello of what size is the gas fuel jet? and an idle jet?

Its part number 4 and 5 that you want.
Part #4 is 17214-MN1-670.
Part #5 is 17216-KCZ-000
You're welcome!
Throw some bigger jets in it and adjust the valves. It will start right up second kick.
Sold the bike years ago. Currently riding a CRF230.
Whats the tail pipe on that and how much for one? Need to replace mine but dont want to spend a fortune
Seat bolts hold side cover on you don't need to remove side covers to remove seat
Thanks for watching
What does that little skirt in the carb do?
Not sure

Bad carb bad gas bad air filter check spark plugs and check gas filter in the tank, properly guayule your pilot jets to the correct elevation u are In

Check you valves and put in bigger jets
anybody know how to mount the throttle cables back on and adjust them?
Should be a built in mounting point on the upper body of the carb near adjuster screw for idle. Other adjustment is on handlebars
thank you so much for this vid! I have a 2001 xr250 and this was so helpful!
Thanks so much!
Great video - well done and easy to follow. Extremely helpful! :)
Thanks!
Thanks for the video, it helped me out.
You’re welcom
Hi, why there is no acceleration pump in this carburetor
XR250R has no pump
Sweet bike!
The cable is a safety it comes on the strap
Thanks for watching
Thanks for watching
5000 km , Hard to start ? the exhaust valves are receding . common problem with XR250 1996 onwards with original valves .
awesome video man
Thanks!
Does one of the jets have a really small hole?
Both of the Jets should have small holes in them. You should be able to see through the holes on the jets. If not them run a small piece of wire through them.
did you replace that missing carb screw?
No, I ended up selling the bike. Moved and could not take it with me. Bike ran great though even with the screw missing.

i am new to this, so this might be a stupid question. where do the hoses go to? or are they just hanging under there?
nice vid💪
Those lines are drain/vent hoses for the carb. They just hang down.
michael brown thanks, keep up the good work💪
A new carb is 45 to 60 bucks.
IM STUPID WITH THE CHOKE BUTTERFLY SPRING NOW.!!! IS BROKEN AND BUTTERFLY IS A QUIET
Sniffles... ew.
