2009 Kawasaki KX250F Startup and Walkaround KXF 250

[nozzer97]

i'm 5ft 7 ish would i have to side saddle? or could i stand with it in between my legs, if i dropped the suspension?

[HondaCRFRider116]

@nozzer97 On stock suspension setting you could probably stand it between your legs, but you'd probably on your toes. You'd need some minor suspension settings in your case

[nozzer97]

@HondaCRFRider116 thanks a bunch :) 

[poopRscoop14]

Yo im about 5'6'' ive been looking at this bike, a kx100, or a yz125 but tbh ive never riden a full size bike ive only riden a couple times so i know like the basics of the clutch n shit but what do you think would be best to learn on/ grow into as i get better that could still be a good bike.

[HondaCRFRider116]

@poopRscoop14 Get a 125, easiest to learn on and cheapest to own

[poopRscoop14]

@HondaCRFRider116 would its power still be enough after i am experience?

[HondaCRFRider116]

@poopRscoop14 Probably not, then you'd upgrade to a 250F. Still, it takes some practice to even use a mod 125 to its full potential

[poopRscoop14]

@HondaCRFRider116 could i just go straight to 250 2stroke after a 125 2stroke. Are you sure a 125's power wouldnt last me? its not a big deal i was just curious, i was looking for bikes i could learn on and grow into, bikes that i wouldnt outlast

[HondaCRFRider116]

@poopRscoop14 Most people end up switching to a 250 (4s or 2s). It's really common for someone to go from 125 to 250F but the 2 stroke believers obviously stick with 2s. It's really personal, in my opinion I'd go 250F. it's really up to you, a 250 2 stroke will definitely be more difficult to ride

[sLeDnEcK509]

K so i'm 5' 2" 430 pounds, have only one nut, have eight toes on my right foot, and am blind in one eye. Will this bike work for me?

[HondaCRFRider116]

@sLeDnEcK509 The bike couldn't be more perfect for you. -CRF150man06

[addiboo1234]

how much u pay for dis bike

[AWankingWeasel]

I'm 6ft 5 and about 220lbs, what's a good bike for me?

[HondaCRFRider116]

@AWankingWeasel Hey it's CRF150man06, at your height and weight the stock setup of this bike might be pretty much small for you. You might have to look into doing suspension adjustments and getting a taller seat. I don't know your skill level either, but if you're familiar with mx bikes as well I would suggest even looking into a 450f if it's not your first bike.

[AWankingWeasel]

@HondaCRFRider116 Thanks for the reply. No its not my first bike-i dont claim to be an expert but ive had my share of experience on these things! I currently have a yz426f which is to powerful for what i do now (trail riding mostly) so i thought a 250 would be a better option.. An enduro is not an option for me cause i do motocross aswell and i dont know how one would hold up after a while... But i know what you mean- id have to go aftermarket and change things, cheers man

[jackster11997]

@diogo46mx No your abit to small

[mosquedaklan]

Max weight on this

[Thektmbeater]

Hey im 5.10 and just came off a ttr230 would this be a good bike for me?

[HondaCRFRider116]

@Thektmbeater Hey it's CRF150man06. Yes, it definitely is. I'm 5'10 as well and 170pounds

[Fischize]

Dude, you got a great deal on that bike! It does look brand new. Got lucky!

[dizzydylan156]

ok thanks dude for the help im going to get that or a fmf for it

[dizzydylan156]

hey i have another question can i go in the track or desert with the stock pipe?, or do i need a new one?

[CRF150man06]

@dizzydylan156 Um no it's fine in my opinion? just a little loud but if it doesnt matter where you ride its fine. otherwise buy a PMB silencer insert like i did on my 09 crf450 (see it in my other video)

[TheBowlingboy300]

@CRF150man06 Do you think Honda or Kawasaki is faster?

[dizzydylan156]

really ok cool i cant wait to ride mine then. thanks bro, if you see the pic it looks like yours lol.

[dizzydylan156]

i just got my 2009 kx 250f and its all stock like yours, i get to go ride it next weekend. are they easy to handle?

[CRF150man06]

@dizzydylan156 Very easy. The most comfortable 250F in my opinion, like the seat is amazing comfy and the ergonomics are great. Youll love it

[HumboltRidazer]

There fucken sweet dude i got the 2010 kawasaki kx250f there amazing i just started into motocross and when i hit the track and it rips

[banshee5501995]

hey im about 5,5 do u think i could ride this bike

[CRF150man06]

@banshee5501995 You probably could, you would just need to do some suspension tuning and lower it, its easy

[250fmotocross613]

@CRF150man06  how many bikes do you have

[HondaCRFRider116]

@250fmotocross613 Currently one; my 2009 CRF450. I've had 7 total so far

[choadin]

oh good thing i bought a 2010. but dude. u should check my vids of mine out. but i dont have aany liveee video. sadly:c

[CRF150man06]

@tasteof7up Well why not go Yamaha?? In my opinion the Yz250F is an all-round great bike, my friend had a 2007 (see my other vids) and that thing was really comfortable and an overall great package from stock. Anyways it's up to you, I personally think you should choose between Kawasaki and Yamaha if you want to change it up

[CRF150man06]

@tasteof7up Which Honda do you have? if you're upgrading i would definitely suggest a clean 2006 or newer KX250F, I personally don't like Suzuki...they lack power stock, and only changed their design in 2007...just because the Kxf's had minor shifting problem, their motor was one of my favorite of the 250f's

[CRF150man06]

@tasteof7up Nothing to brag about. From 2004-2009 there was the nasty design flaw problem about the 1st and 2nd gear, how difficult it was to shift and it would always go into neutral. This problem was fixed on the 2010+ models

[69mrjkjkjk]

@CRF150man06 actually thats called lazy shifting were you half ass your shifting and thats why it goes into neutral

[CRF150man06]

@69mrjkjkjk Hey bud it's a known problem on this model it's not me

[more84ful]

thumbs up if u think kawasaki is wwaaay better than ktm

[xTropicThunder]

I'm 5'7, 170 pounds, Would I be able to ride a 250? Thanks

[wigamorin]

were do you get your bikes from like online sites that you prefer

[HiTmArK3RzHD]

Im 5'3 115 puonds is this a good bike for me

[CRF150man06]

@HiTmArK3RzHD No its way too big to be honest

[HiTmArK3RzHD]

@CRF150man06 I wouldnt be able to get at least one foot on the ground like my friends are all taller than me but im a hell of alot stronger than them

[CRF150man06]

@HiTmArK3RzHD Whether youre strong or not has nothing really to do with it, but a smaller bike with similar power does exist. I strongly suggest you get a CRF150R big wheel, I can guarantee you will like that bike. Its comparable to a 250f the only difference is size

[HiTmArK3RzHD]

@CRF150man06 ight man thanks 

[24SPENCER24]

@CRF150man06 im 5'9 160 pounds is that big enough for me...if so what other size would u say

[CRF150man06]

@24SPENCER24 That's exactly my height and weight. It's perfect for you 24SPENCER24

[kx100monsterkx100]

@HiTmArK3RzHD its not like it would be crazy big for you. i have a 250 and i ride it just fine and im the same size as you. it depends on your ridin experience too. i can touch one footed

[HiTmArK3RzHD]

@kx100monsterkx100 ight ill just go to a dealer and see if i can just get on the bike

[oxleymx238]

nice bike dude, im hoping to get one of these next year, have an sx125 atm, are they good bikes? speed, handling, reliability? thanks :]

[anthony695355]

how much did you pick up this bike for???



[CRF150man06]

@anthony695355 From what I remeber I think around 3800~ canadian

[Joker250f]

@CRF150man06 Man whats years you old -you got 250 Bat beautyfull bike

[macroevolve]

Neighbors called the cops? Were you reving it at midnight? lol

[CRF150man06]

@macroevolve Obviously not..........people get pissed off even during the day, you know

[TroyLeeDesigns872]

Nice bike, and fuck the neighbors dude. haha

[ch0l0sk8r]

hey how is the kx250f treating you, any problems?

[CRF150man06]

@ch0l0sk8r Pretty good, it's holding up real well. My only complaint is the transmission when it goes from 1st to 2nd it doesnt always do what it's supposed to by sticking to neutral. Kx250f's have had that problem since 2004-2009 but it was fixed in 2010. My simple solution is to never go into 1st and right from the get go just up into 2nd. That's the only complaint but other than that the reliability is amazing (comparable to the hondas), starting is super easy and great fun to ride

[ilikepie5720]

@CRF150man06 i have the 04 rm-z 250 twin, has issues throwing a false neutral at times, but just get a good positive shift in there and it doesn't do it, but i also found a clutchless upshift from 1 to 2 does the trick nicely lol, but when i stop the bike, i can only seem to find neutral doing a half click down from 2nd, just my 2 cents

[CRF150man06]

@ilikepie5720 I've now sold this bike (and I'll say hondas have 100% shifting, almost perfect) and by the way it was the 04-05 kx250f and 04-06 rmz250 that were the same. Trust me even though the motor looks same with the head and base, theyre totally different.

[ilikepie5720]

@CRF150man06 i was talking about the fact they've had issues since 04, and how my 04 rm-z has similar issues lol, sorry for the confusion, but i'm pulling a water pump cover of a 07 kx 250f so i can do oil filters without draining my coolant, so some parts still are interchangeable still, just gotta measure real careful and be good with schematics, lol.

[CRF150man06]

@ilikepie5720 Oh ok and yeah good decision to change the water pump system. That was always the No1 thing to change on those bikes as they overheat real easy. Your bike should be 100% after you change that

[ilikepie5720]

@CRF150man06 it has yet to get above 75 here, been riding at 65 at the hottest, lol. but next i've got a water wetter solution going in the coolant system next oil change, weather should be warmer and it'll help. I never let the bike idle at a stand still, if i stop to talk to my riding buddy, engine turns off. I was a little disheartened to learn about the overheating, after i bought it of course, lol. oh well, hasn't given me issues. guess we'll see what happens in the triple digit heat.

[CRF150man06]

@ilikepie5720 Yeah in hot heat good engine coolant is key. I run Engine Ice in my Crf450, i personally think it's the best brand of coolant

[druminsk8]

you can tell theres little hours on it no wear to the clutch cover at all and the frame still shines

[ch0l0sk8r]

hey, should i buy this bike for 4100 obo, in canada, how is your kxf treating u any prooblems, im gunna do payments on it, here the link, tell me what u think ots gots a 290f big bore kit

[svraider86]

does this bike have F.I.

[CRF150man06]

@svraider86 No. it only got it in 2011. the kx450 got it in 2009

[HONDASBEST]

how much gas can u give it from a dead stop b4 the wheel comes off the ground?

[ben1996ful]

should i get a 250f or a 125 2 stroke i have a ttr 230 right now

[ImPLaINLaZY1]

@ben1996ful 250f bro, they are the way forward.

[Norman3ify]

when you said "i know I should of gave it a couple shots of gas", DON'T!!! trust me. Its a 4-stroke so it will flood easily if you do that. You only do that on 2-strokes. Try it and be amazed.

[jakeisdead123]

I'm getting my first 250f im pretty excited and the one i was going to buy is the 2009 kx250f used from craigslist. its all stock as well, low hours and minor scratches to. i've always ridden kawasaki and always have been a huge fan of them but should i buy the bike? it seems nice, but how's the performance on it? also is it worth it to buy it for $4500 used? i could maybe get the price lower...

[CRF150man06]

@jakeisdead123 its great and hasnt let me down once. great power, one of the best 250f's for power. for price if youre in canada that's an ok price. if ur n the Us, they should go for about 3k.

[jakeisdead123]

@CRF150man06 ok well i'll see if i can work the price down. i forgot, it also has pro taper bars and asv levers. i might of worked the guy down to $3800 but he said most likely $4000

[SuperSTADDON]

@jakeisdead123 hey im thinking about buying the same model, in my country (the UK) they're still selling for around 2500-3000 pounds! Around $4000 - $4800 dollars or somewhere close to that. Have you got yours yet? and if so, what is it like?

[christherealist]

nice bike. should bling it out with montser energy graphics and pro circuit ti4r exhaust

[axeu350]

i just sold my yzf 08 cuz iam moving, idk what bike to get then, yzf crf or kxf all 09 ? i like yamaha it'd be the third, got a ttr230 previously, or i might just get a crf450r 09.. hope i dont get killed, tell me what u think

[CRF150man06]

@axeu350 all great brands. choose one that's cheap and not beat

[XxHondaBoy191xX]

how is ur front number plate a $100..... i can get a plastic kit for a $110

[CRF150man06]

@XxHondaBoy191xX 100$ is from Kawasaki directly, OEM parts. from polisport or Ufo i checked and its 30$. i was just pointing out the difference between buying factory and aftermarket

[430motorcrossrider]

@XxHondaBoy191xX well, the plastic kit is only $10, but the plate is $100....

[XxHondaBoy191xX]

how is a front number plate $100.....

[MetalHeadDirtbike]

The kickstarters are all weird and twisted on those kxf's, or atleast they look like they are. Are they hard to kick? They loook like they would be but I dunno.

[CRF150man06]

@MetalHeadDirtbike its actually the easiest 250f to start. my old ktm was the hardest to start.

[BadAss450R11]

dude, your neighbor cant anything if you are on ur property cuz it your and u can do anthing u want. but too bad neighbor there cant do anything.

[cycygrace]

@BadAss450R11 noise compaints and disturbing the peace

[cat123456789101]

my kx250 is 20 years older than that one and it still rocks

[ObviouslyBoredKid]

so you had a new 06 150 then got a new 07 crf then an 08 sxf and now an 09 kxf. what next man jeez?

[CRF150man06]

@ObviouslyBoredKid im order: 07 150f, 07 250r, 08 ktm, 09 kxf, 06 450r, and now i recently got a 09 crf450r. didnt make a vid yet ill have it up by the weekend

[ObviouslyBoredKid]

@CRF150man06 nice man lucky you. i wish i had that kind of bank hahahaha. how much are bike up there?

[CollinsFTF]

I'd get an Akrapovic system it's alot of money but bikes performance will increase

[rcfreak2493]

how do you give it shots of gas?

[CRF150man06]

@rcfreak2493 twisting the throttle a couple times to get some gas into the carb

[rcfreak2493]

@CRF150man06 oh wow i feel like such a noob hahah

[rljwaj]

OMG i love your bike :) Check mine out ;)

[369pimpdaddy]

lol

[369pimpdaddy]

i want yor kxf

[CRF150man06]

@369pimpdaddy well where are you located?

[BritishMotocrossKid]

hi im 5'5 and getting 250f soon would i be the right size plz reply

[CRF150man06]

@BritishMotocrossKid yea you should be able to ride it no problem but standing will be a bit difficult.....you should lower and set the suspension when you get it or shave the seat

[fourwheelerjock]

i like the pro circut exhaust myseld and i wana ask you something has every dirtbike you seen start in i kick because mine takes a couple kicks

[369pimpdaddy]

o lol. yea my fav brand was kawasaki and yamaha. But whe ni say this bike i feel in love. 2stokes i think are the best in my book. but wat ever you like the most you should get. like i am raceing harescramble next year.i need the take off in the small corners and the accelartion.

[369pimpdaddy]

you would trade you 09 kxf for my cr.

[CRF150man06]

@369pimpdaddy lmao i dunno, i guess i was joking? but my fav brand is honda and ive never had a 2stroke haha

[369pimpdaddy]

hey good a exhuast to get with the header is the fmf factory 4.1 system.

but get it from like motorcycle superstore or dennis krik. there prices are cheaper

[CRF150man06]

@369pimpdaddy thanks but im not sure thatr im going to mod it anymore, i think ill get a new bike next summer so i dont wanna spend 1200 on exhaust anymore lol...and your cr250 is really nice i'd trade lol

[troy118]

i might be getting a 250f which one is better the 09 kx250f or the crf250r

[conrad573]

ok. i have found 2 bikes. a 2009 kx250f and a 2009 crf250r. both $6,500. the kx has a Renthal sprocket. D.I.D X- ring chain with a full monster energy graphics kit.

The crf250r has twin fmf pipes and a full horizon motocycles graphics kit. i dunno which 1 to choose

[DJTONER1]

Nice, a pro circuit t4 will be great with this bike !

[conrad573]

which 1 do you think would last longer crf250r or the kx250f

[CRF150man06]

@conrad573 last longer ?? all bikes of all types need maintenance. i cant say one outlasts the other.

[jwd1995]

just asking someone with experenice iv heard that the 09 kx250f has trouble with the clutch like a false nutral between gear changing and that its stiff wanting to know getting this in july hopefully

[conrad573]

which bike do you think has more power. the 09 kx250f or the 09 crf250r

[CRF150man06]

@conrad573 ive had both bikes, they feel almost exactly the same. this kx is a little louder

[conrad573]

@CRF150man06 which 1 do you think would last longer

[IrishMafiaKiller]

could any1 help is the kawasaki kx250f 09 thee best 250f

i av a 2008 yz250f want somthing with more muscle :)

[CRF150man06]

@IrishMafiaKiller i know what you mean. my friend down my street has an 07 yz250f. i really dont like it, not enough top end. sure it flies going 5th, but on a track it doesnt feel as good (my opinion). i suggest you go with a kx250f or a crf250r, ive had both and theyre very similar in power. yami's are still good too, but kxf's and crf's are more powerfulll :D

[IrishMafiaKiller]

@CRF150man06 i had a crf250r 08 look in my channel :)

buh im deciding to go ktm\kawa

had a 125 ktm been through same amount o bikes as u !

but yea its very dosy when it comes to muscle !

[IrishMafiaKiller]

@IrishMafiaKiller 

[SplitSecond199]

By the way i forgot i was friends with u on here lol, forgot tht u sold ur KTM, so i thought u were someone else, sorry, but still sweet!

[SplitSecond199]

Beautiful bike bro, my friend has an 09' kx250f too, his is the Monster Black edition tho, but still beautiful and sounds great, im gonna have an update video of my 05 YZ 125 with my new graphics and FMF shorty, so check it out if ya want, once again nice bike! you gonna be doing any racing?

[CRF150man06]

@CRF80TOP55 it always had starting issues and idling issues. the guy who sold it to me was a racer and had like 7 bikes, he told me it was it raced 3x with only 3hrs on it but i took it apart to inspect and it was filthy beneath everything. i tuned it up a little and sold it for more than i got it for. and for some reason i didnt like how thick the body was

[atvchick09]

get the FMF

[CRF150man06]

@atvchick09 do you know which exhaust is cheaper? im not sure if ill get the whole system or just a slip-on..

[atvchick09]

@CRF150man06 no im not sure but i think maybe pro circuit but im not sure ill ask one of my sponsors and see if he knows im sure he does and ill get back to you

[1freedomfighter11]

sweet bike man

[speckit55]

i would say go with whatever pipe u like more but i like pro circuit. then again its all preference
