I've been waiting for a video for about two months, hell yeah. You are my mentor and my inspiration in everything related to dirtbikes. Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷
In Mexico they have 2 variations of that bike . There is a 150 like a USA model and there is a 190 with efi . I had the 190 . Really liked to bike with the efi.
the Carb... measure the inside Dia of the intake Valve seat, subtract a mm and go for a slide that size. Mikuni is always going to be my personal Favourite, but they are what I learnt on for bike carbs. The Cam... I don't know the engine well enough to give numbers, I've doubled output before, in fact I've gone beyond that. and the Valve springs are over twice as hard as the factory ones... Don't go that far, just double that figure & find a cam that needs springs that rate. don't forget to upgrade the Valves if you can, & retainers... most important that the springs stay attached to the valve stem
I can not wait to see this little Honda come together ! I am just back from riding a Beta 125 RR four cycle in the Maine woods. Mini Bikes are just fun .
Jfg racing makes a good full exhaust I have on my cg300 build in a 79 xl125 frame. It’s a crf230 /crf150 stainless steel exhaust. It sounds great and was only like $125. I have a buddy that’s running it on his xr150l and the fitment was good.
I'm from Mexico, that model has been here since '16 I think, I have an '18 and use it to basically "do cardio" on super tight technically single track on flat surfaces (I also own a crf450x and crf250x for competing or serious stuff) It seems like the frame is the same as the crf230f, xr250, xr300E, so I bought crf230f forks, swing arm and rims, just looking for a monoshock to complete the transformation, I have installed a xr190 cylinder on there and switched out the carb for a bigger one, I got a huge increase in power at the bottom end, clutch used to clank when riding on sand, now it just tracktors through easily, this is SUCH A FUN BIKE and it's practically bullet proof, and I know whatever happens to it, it'll be an inexpensive fix. I think this has been the most reliable and funnest bike I've ever owned. Anyway good luck on your project, I'll be checking out your updates to see the end result 🤙🏽
I already did this build just finished it with quality parts. All plug and play big valve racing cams springs and more nickle plated. I have 11.1 I bought the $1200 and it's worth it. Ported head Ceramic block.
@DustySteel probably easier to find a 200cc head from an xl200 or something then work from there. Heat is always going to be the issue with an air cooled engine. Isn't there an XR250L tornado that looks just like this bike anyway.
Thank you for your advice!! I bought a 70mm forged piston from SXParts and their 36/31 Big Valve Head and now my XR150L breathes 🔥 and can do 75mph with stock gearing. It can now power wheelie whereas before I had a hard time clutch-upping. I definitely recommend a big valve head.
Cut your stock spark arrestor about 3/4" from the flat mounting plate (on the inside where the taper stops). This will expose some packing material which I left in as well as the inner chamber "pipe") it flows really well and it's still fairly quiet also. I wouldn't mess with the cylinder heads exhaust port or grind the weld down at the inlet of the J-tube/exhaust as this will cause high rpm reversion (ask me how I know) 😂 Good luck! 👍🏼👍🏼
So I've built a couple XR 200 cr85 big wheels and the kehin fce 38 worked well on a 12to 1 210 cc motor but fitment requires modifications. As for exhaust I used an FMF q made for CRF 150 just modified the pipe. But I like quiet
I've got the Yoshi on my XR150 with a 64.5mm piston and BBR cam. Sounds great and pulls great too. I'm having oil burning issues from me incorrectly installing the rings, so I'll probably be putting the ScooterSwapShop 222cc kit in eventually.
@@DustySteel It is a little, but seems to be fairly minor. I believe it's leaking more through the drain bolt than it's burning it. When I did my first oil change at 600 miles, I think I dropped the crush washer in the oil and lost it lol. I'll be making an update video/walk around video on the bike relatively soon.
@@smileyguyz thank you for the subscribe.👍 I bet you could just recheck where your pistons rings are and gap. Oh no! Luckily crush washers aren’t expensive. Mine was leaking but it was because I didn’t tighten it enough after the last time I drained the oil. I have one of the SXParts big valve head on the way. I’m super excited. They sell 70mm pistons for guys like us that have a very cheap piston.
What do you think of WPC treatment? Had my YZ250 top end done, crank pin, conrod, and the entire transmission. Transmission is butter, piston was good. Debating cylinder next time it needs replated
Takegawa forged big bore kit with race cam is the way to go with a mukini carb or a kitaco big bore kit with cam and a mukini carb if you can delete the injection, I've always ran these brand in my smaller cc honda bikes
@@douglasgholson4835 yeah, they look identical. I just got installing a 222cc BBK stage 3 cam and the SXParts big valve head 36/31 and now it shoots flames!!🔥 😁👍
Should look into BRT kits,, and can customize the kits thru a purchase with Very,,,at "plug and play",,, i have the 250 kit for my crf150,,the kit includes a longer stroke crank, big bore piston rings, bigger valve cylinder head,cam,tunable CDI, bigger fuel injector, shaft, and it is about $1,000
You can even get an oil cooler, for it. Obcource the xr150 isn't fuel injected, but the standard parts will work with a larger carb,as you stated, more than likely you will need a 1 tooth larger front sprocket,,because of all the extra power,, I doubled the power with the kit I installed.
@@wildbillslickdog what kit did you install? Some of those BRT kits are huge!! 80mm!!🤯 I would assume anything over 70mm would need the case to also be bored.
Engine parts from china aren't that bad. I rebuilt my xr400 with 300 dollars top end kit instead of spendeng 800 to 1000. Rebuilt it 2020 i do long distance and trail ride. No problem for me
Scooter Swap Shop might send you a kit for free if you plan on making videos about it. They seem to be moving their business at the moment so it might be hard to get ahold of them.
I'm in the same as you ordering parts for my build. SSS BB kit received. Looking at a big valve head and carb options. How can we communicate/collaborate?
I've been wondering about these kits for the 150L & you're right, each has it's own drawbacks. Does this bike have any Brain like an ECU can be flashed? There are some electronic type Carbs that some said can work on this bike but IDKnow cH!T? I have been looking at this little bike, for it's cheap cost! peace
I was thinking of taking the air snorkel off and the spark arrester(i dont live in a wildfire zone) and rejetting. Only thing stopping me is that the stock fueling is already so good i dont want to mess it up. If i were to do this what would be the best pilot and main jet measurements so it doesnt run lean or rich. W content btw. Edit: at about 100 ft of elevation above sea level
Can you please release a step-by-step guide on how to install the big bore kits. I live in a rural area with no good mechanics around and I don't know much about engines.
Great video. Completely off topic, but i feel like you're the guy to ask. Any idea where i could find affordable replacement (possibly upgraded) shocks for a honda xl175? I assume any offroad dual shock setup would work.
Expensive but probably worth having. I’ve never had one but have not heard good things long term. They supposedly are very difficult to clean. What’s your experience with them?
@@DustySteel only carb Ill spend money on. I've had one on both my 125 and 250. Never cracked either open and they have taken me on rides with 6k of elevation change without issues. Adjusting is super easy and fueling feels and looks spot on.
Shipping world wide isn't that hard. Use ebay very straight forward process, then when you learn how to ship you can stop using eBay and ship on your own and collect money too. Ebay charges a percent fee tho 😢

Scooter Swap Shop might send you a kit for free if you plan on making videos about it. They seem to be moving their business at the moment so it might be hard to get ahold of them.
So you seem pretty smart and you very well may be but when I contacted sxparts they said their big bor kit that you chose will not fit the XR150L.
I’ll be taking mine to Michigan next week on some easy trails. Maybe I’ll want the big bore kit after lol
5:15 get a Mikuni round slide. It’s a good compromise. The VM26-606 is true and tested
I wonder if Athena do a big bore kit for these?
Yo Gabe! Should I race my crf230 in a hard enduro?
There is a Athena 69mm big bore also not a big difference but is bigger than the 68 I have a 68mm in mine and it still rips though
