I got mine last year . I have just turned 3,700 klms. On the stock bike . I all ready have my 222cc BBK . Yesterday I ordered from Scooter Swap Shop the new stainless steel exhaust $269. US And I am following Dusty Steel great advice . Along with MishMashMoto . The last video from SSS . Show cases the XR150L as a much improved and capable , Bike with very little extra cash outlay . Compared to CRF250 or CRF300 costing thousands more . I also got the cheap Amazon windshield . I intend to build everything when I get all upgraded parts together first . Just south of Ottawa and under 100 feet elevation . I can consistently hit 100 klms stock if I tuck down with no headwinds .62 mph I have added a Led DZG headlight plug and play $30. "Be seen don't die" Looks more modern and I believe much safer Dual USB/VOLT METER Battery tender cable . Factory Honda tank bag . a little small but the dealer priced match . Thanks Honda . KimiMoto rear collapsible tail bag . 1 full grocery bag fits between the 2 bags awesome groceries getter . A coffee cup holder attached to the left rear luggage rack lower bar , (in front of the turn signal ) Any Tims leakage A (Canadian coffee shop) spill goes on the ground not all over the bike "bonus" . A must add is a magnetic oil plug . Because of no oil filter . Also new set of foot pegs and a tusk foldable shifter in red . Good luck to all and tell us your best mods .
@@philipcloutier2553 that’s awesome! I’m about 1.5 hours SW of Ottawa. Whenever I use the bike for commute, I usually can’t live without my Timmy, so I’ve been putting the coffee in the side pocket of my backpack lol. I did add a 50 calibre ammo crate on the back rack and I thought it might be good for carrying coffee but it shakes it up too much lol. I drilled holes in my exhaust baffle for more flow but I’m probably gonna want to upgrade that as well at some point. So far my favourite mod has been the big bore kit. I did install an Amazon windshield as well. I just haven’t had time to edit and post the videos yet.
I paid $3850 last year (all tax, title and extra fees) in southern Ohio. Great bike but needs some mods with footpegs being the most important. Don't do the big bore kit, just get a bigger bike. This bike has adequate power for its intended purpose, just free up the intake and exhaust flow if you want to spice it up a bit.
@@123gmor awesome 😎 👍 I’ve already done the big bore kit, I’m just slow at editing and uploading the videos lol. It improved torque substantially. No regrets there. The intake and exhaust video is now up on my channel
I bought a new one 6 mo. ago and I love it. Modifying this bike is a waste of time and money. If you want a fast dirt or street bike buy something else. I`ve been riding over 50 yrs. and if you want to putt around like the `70`s this is what you want. imo
@@barackmycat9448 well, the 222 cc big bore kit helped the torque tremendously. That was a major improvement noticeable in first gear, taking off all the way up to fifth gear. When it was stock original, it would hardly carry itself in fifth gear anywhere below 75 km/h, but now with the kit it can carry itself from 60 km/h even in fifth gear effortlessly with lower RPMs. I also added a windshield, and that was a major improvement as well.
@@robfninh it was around $250 Canadian for the big bore kit. Much cheaper than buying a bigger motorcycle of this year. I’ve put it around 2000 km on it so far I mostly use it on the street or for commute so bigger suspension is not totally necessary. My main priority has been budget since I bought my first house last fall.
Thanks for watching 😎👍
Awesome bike😎Enjoy ya weekend🥃🤙🇨🇦

Looks like a lot of fun to drive!
@@V8AmericanMuscleCar almost as much fun as a third gen firebird/camaro 😜
@@V8AmericanMuscleCar that’s funny; I’m subscribed to both of you because I used to have a 88’ Firebird and I also have a 2-door XJ and an XR150L!🤣🤣
@@DustySteel that's cool man! I knew I needed a bike, I just don't know yet how to tell my wife this good news. 😁
@@V8AmericanMuscleCar tell her that it has a low seat so she can ride it too!🤣
@@DustySteel I have to prepare her a bit... 😅

What was the cost of that kit? Buy a bigger bike with more suspension.

@@613Builds I understand.
Fun fact: the XR150 is originally from Indonesia.
@@DustySteel awesome 😎 👍
@@613Builds they sell parts for a fraction of the price. I paid $70 for my BBK.
70x70x.785x57.8=222,327.7
@@DustySteel 222 cc big bore kit yes 👍
