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
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.
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?
@@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.
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...
@@ridered0627 mine was doing this but when I bought from the original owner I opened up the air filter box and a squirrel had built a nest in the filter lol...once I replaced the filter it ran great
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..
I have an 07’ and if you are looking to get into riding these are perfect starter bikes. I still have mine and still ride it! And I go crazy full throttle on it all day long! Well worth the money!
Ayo that 07 4 stroke honda still running like a top? Interested in getting another bike I want this one for the fair price. I've always owned mixed fuel bikes
i did that with the exact same thing with my bagged out 2004 crf150f, also if you jet it up a few sizes and mess with the carb it will get a bit more power
I just got this bike, the bad thing is that its winter, in colorado where I live there's currently two feet of damn snow, luckily there's a small place where i could ride it, mine is also a little beat up, needs a new rear tire and plastics but other then that, this bike is latterly flawless as far as i can tell
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!
I had a 2003 crf 150f and it was fun and topped out at 60 flat with me on it and I’m 160lbs it’s not quick but it’s got toque and i got it to wheelie 2nd and 3rd gear with a little help from the clutch sitting down
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.
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
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!
A ton of comments saying get the R version, do you guys know the maintenance those valve eaters need?? An air cooled bike is more than enough for road and easy trials, believe me, it's WAY cheaper to maintain this model
Hey man where do you live how far are you from NY I got a kx 65 that runs great and it does not need to have choke on for it to start it starts first kick on a cold start
Man I would love to find a clean CRF150F to replace my CRF100, but they are hard to find around here. Not sure why, but I have had no luck at all trying to find one. My CRF100 is a great bike, but I've had it for several years and looking for something a little bigger. I'm not a kid, but enjoy the small dirt bikes because they are incredibly lightweight and super easy to maneuver.
Look up how to set the air fuel mixture screw properly it's not hard, you've just had a stab at it like the other guy. For the amount of bikes you get you really don't know much.
when you check the oil you do not screw it back in just put the dip stick in the hole and rest it on top of the threads. dont screw it in . also stand the bike up straight when you check the oil. This is basic stuff
@@xpertgamer5796 the crf150r is a race bike. Great suspension, but the engine will not last as long as the crf150f. That is a trail bike, will last for 15 years if taking care of and maintained properly. Also the 150f is cheaper than a 150r
I bought a 2004 Honda Crf 100 for £520 I rode it like 5 times then it was stolen then I got my 2001 yz 125 for £780 which the engines mint just it could do with a really good clean and frame repainted and new plastics and the yz is a hell of a lot faster than the crf 100😂
Can you make a video on the lines of the bike like a check up I have one just Like yours, that was left behind by my brother but there’s black lines hanging out just chillen there, mine might be a little older it’s a lot louder too,

Why does everyone hate on the F it’s one of the best air cooled bikes I’ve ever rode I have way more fun on the 150f then my yz250f or my CR85Rb
Bc it's a 4 stroke
Cause it can't go 60+, I personally love them
