The worst thing riding my new XR150L is the stock footpegs ... They're half missing! WTF? First pegs, then protection (hand guards and crash bars). Then handlebars and levers. Then engine and exhaust. ...

Wrap the shifter in electrical tape until the perfect dimensions and then put the boot on nice and tightly

It's cool to watch you get excited about your new Honda and wanting to work on it and make improvements. These days with Amazon and KZread there are so many things and people put out there for you. But sometimes you find out not all changes are right for everyone. So being fluid easy to try stuff and then maybe go back or change to something else is a good thing. That's how we have fun, learn things and improve. Keep it up! When adjusting anything on the handlebars cable related you need to move the bars all the way left to right and watch the clearance. Sometimes there is no difference sometimes significant. It's good to know when using throttle, clutch and brake in tight maneuvering. Foot pegs are a personal choice I have been using the stock normal ones for decades over the bigger wide ones because I feel the wide range of foot position while shifting my weight from all the way forward to all the way back is better than on the wide footpegs. Once you get to rough terrain and higher speed shifting your body weight all over the place is essential.

I may not have this bike, but I like watching bike modding videos.

Yea dude it’s such a fun, simple bike! Can’t beat the fun for the price 🙌🏻

Add a little grease to the end of theclutch cable where it goes into the lever. helps a little.

Great video, man. The bike is coming along nicely!

When it comes time for an oil change you might still want to pull the skid plate off! Once the oil is flowing you'll be fine but when you first pull the plug out it'll probably splash oil back up into the skid plate. My CRF250L has a badlands racing skid plate with a similar access hole and I've ended up pulling it off everytime due to oil splashing back lol

Great video Burch !!! 🤙🏽

cool gear. my new xr150 shows up tomorrow. honda is delivering it. i cant wait. been planning this for a year. i will film the truck dropping of and then a video of me on it etc. such a great looking bike

You are making me wanna get one.

I got this bike on september of last year. Got 6k km on it. It may lack in top speed but it always gives me a smile on my face :)

I believe the two nuts on the levers you should tighten each one together to stop loosing from vibration. Love the levers and skidplate . The foot pegs I originally got where slightly different I had to cut mine down but its time to get the proper ones . I am very excited for the SSShop big bore kit making this a 222cc. with 18-19 wheel hp. Transforming this bike into some kinda cheap rocket with Wile E Coyote at the helm . We need better handgards to protect those levers . Keep up the good upgrades . And Thanks .

i got those foot pegs as well but took those spikes out. much better for my road only riding. and i’ll take your oem skid plate if you want to get rid of it! 😉

I bought those foot pegs before seeing this. I’ve got to say they are legit, such a big improvement over the anemic OEM.

Those foot pegs make such a huge difference! I'm 6ft 225lbs, and stand and jump on those pegs great buy, perfectly priced. Great channel, awesome content. Thank you!

Motovoron is cool! I ordered their rack for my XR250R and it rocks

10:59 I saw that and was thinking that! Some similar stuff for Trail 125 too

The footpegs on mine were also angled up. Until I order replacements I removed the rubber inserts which is an improvement.

Are those your half cabs? Those are my favorite shoes. I've worn them since I was 12 or so. Timeless.

looking good on the dirt sir! If you ever want to try your hand on some trails with a bit more challenge, I live in MD as well and have a powerline section right down my street that I ride my XR150 on with no issues. I'm loving the XR150 content too thanks for making these vids!

Great vid as always. Really enjoy your content. Side question, and maybe you mentioned in your other vids but it just came to mind. What bike wash are you using these days? I’m a Navi and Grom owner doing it nook and cranny old school style but looking for something a little less time consuming that gets the job done. Any suggestions?

I did those levers in red CNC and the small crash bar from Ukraine about 9 months ago. The crash bar is way better quality than the factory plastic Honda part. I even have small LED lights mounted where the front side reflectors are located and crazy enough the reflectors even screw directly back into the lights. So far I think I actually have the most modded XR except that I don't do video vlogs so I can't post the videos. Tusk makes a nice shifter that has folding tip. Bought a full slip on exhaust for $90 as I would never pay $500 for the Yosh slip on tip. I know they are a great company but, that is ridiculous. Also add some Pro Taper risers and bars. Much more comfortable. I am disappointed the Pro Taper grips are almost worn with only 1400 miles.

The highway bars are kinda cool, they had something like that on the harleys I took my MSF course on. I don't think you really need to lounge like that on a dirtbike though lol.

Yo met you the other day in dta, I am about to hit 4,000 miles on my XR. I need todo all the mods you have, so cheap and big improvments. I'm gonna use your links!

BRT Racing is based out of Indonesia where these bikes originated, they have 276cc big bore kit that would be insane if for your channel if you installed something like that.

Hi, thanks for more XR vids. For the clutch lever, are you noticing any rubbing of the cable in the housing? Are you still able to start the bike in gear with clutch pulled in? Another user reported this on the XR forum last year. Looking to add these on my XR so appreciate any feedback you have.

Congrats on the new bike dude!! I’d say the shifter cover is 100% worth it. I have a link in the description for it and it’s only $6 there.

I have recently done some "academic" digging through the parts catalogues of Honda bikes and both the swingarms of XR150L and CRF150L have the brake mount anchor studs (the part of the swingarm that prevents the caliper bracket from free spinning) seem to look the same if not identical. Would you be willing to experiment with trying to fit the CRF's disc brake caliper bracket (Part No. 43190-K84-901 for the bracket, No. 43150-K84-901 for the entire rear caliper assembly) as a step to converting the XR150L's rear into disc brakes?

If only they had invented some sort of hat that would shade your eyes from the sun... People with their cap on backwards complaining about getting the sun in their eyes, is the funniest thing on the interwebs. :P

I just got these levers and installed them. The tab on the brake lever doesnt reach the brake light switch. So your brake light might not be coming on when youre braking. Super dangerous. I had to wrap tape around the tab until it reached the brake light switch. Also, my clutch lever didnt fit the housing properly and left the cable too tight. Mine look exactly the same as yours... maybe I got a bad pair? Did you notice that the brake lever tab didnt reach the switch?

I just ordered the foot pegs for my XR 150 so thank you so much for the information, but I have a question on the engine guard I bought a similar engine guard for it and it came out of India but I was wondering the difference in weight compared to the full wraparound engine skid plate compared to the one that does not have the full wraparound engine skid plate like the one that I have ,is it over a pound or two difference do you know?

@LifeOfBurch

2 ай бұрын

Hmm good question, but I can’t say for sure. I’d guess about a pound or two difference sounds right. Nothing noticeable enough to be a concern imo 🤘🏻

Ok, something you haven't addressed yet, which I hope you will, as I am about to buy a bike with similar tyres... what tyre would you get for better off road-ability without making it dangerous ON road. also, hand guards that work, attach to, and protect the bar ends and provide a more solid protection from stray branches... all the factory things do is reduce the wind and cold! Annnnd Then you mention both of these at the end of the vid lol

Where are you riding at?

Sir please use rear tyre 90 section or 100 section tyre sir please the riding will become smooth

Best mod todo would be selling it and buying a used crf250l. For what you get in return, these bikes are not work modding much. Same for the 250l or 300l. The benefit of these bikes is that the way they are they simply won't die and will perform. I am not saying that it is not worth buying. But if you are performance oriented just upgrading to even a used 250l would be my recommendation.

Use a needle nose pliers and tighten the lock nut please. Safety first

Is it difficult not having a gas gauge?

@LifeOfBurch

2 ай бұрын

Definitely takes some getting used to, but as long as you make sure you switch the petcock out of reserve after you fill up you’ll be good. Once the gas gets low enough to have to switch to reserve, you still have plenty gas to make it to a gas station. Plus, you can reset the trip meter after every fill up, and then I just keep an eye on things once the trip meter gets back to like 150-160 miles or so.
