Good question! Have you watched my video comparing the 150F vs 150R? (kzitem.info/news/bejne/sG6tlqamm32FhHY) The 150R has about twice the horsepower at high RPM, but not nearly as much torque down low, so it takes more clutch control. If you're racing, it's probably a better choice than the 150F if you don't mind doing a little more maintenance in the long run.

My crf150rb was really jumpy when I first got it, so I decided to pour a little seafoam straight in the gas tank. Seems like it's a lot smoother not as jerky but I've noticed a little loss of power. Have I made a grave mistake by pouring it right in the tank? I hope not because it's a brand new bike.
@MotocrossHideout

Hey Greg, what do you mean by "jumpy"? What made you decide to add seafoam, and how much did you use? I don't personally use it in my bikes, but I wouldn't think that would cause a problem if you use the recommended amount with gas.
@GregDavidson-si8kt

@MotocrossHideout I'm sorry, should have explained a little better. Like right as you start to twist the throttle, it will kinda lug and then take off really hard. I've found this to be a little annoying when trying to climb certain terrain. It's like there's that sweet spot where you need to barely give it fuel but it wants to kinda spit and sputter. My brother is a mechanic and he told me the same thing that you just did. But he also doesn't ride dirt bikes. I've noticed a slight loss of power, but then again it could be the gas I put in it. I put the 89 octane BP gas in it, but I probably should have gotten the premium.

@MotocrossHideout I kinda just opened the bottle and poured some straight into the tank. Not like a huge amount or anything. I really didn't measure it.

@@GregDavidson-si8kt Okay, well you can still pull the fuel line off and drain the gas. The 150R is a high-compression racing engine, so you should be using 91-93 octane gas (I highly recommend using gas with NO ethanol so that it lasts longer). As for the sputtering, that sounds rich - I recommend leaning out the fuel screw. Here's an article on it: motocrosshideout.com/adjust-fuel-screw/
@GregDavidson-si8kt
2 ай бұрын
@MotocrossHideout Exactly all the things I done! The one thing I couldn't understand is why I didn't get a owner's manual when I bought the bike. I didn't know I could drain the gas, and I bought a product call "liquid performance Ethanol Equalizer" it came in a 1 ounce bottle that you add to 10 gallons of gas, and I bought different premium grade gas to put in it. So I'm on the right track. I hope this helps cause I really don't want to find out that I've caused some internal damage and only had it a month. Hopefully it's just me being paranoid.

I literally just bought a 150r 2hrs ago with a bad motor for $900 bucks with the purpose of doing a swap but inspecting it closely is gonna take a lot of mods like cutting and welding to do that and I'm still doing it and planning to do a KZitem video series on it but unfortunately not yet I got another bike I have to finish before I jump on that 150r. So I would recommend you to get a Honda Grom you'll love that thing with the 125cc motor and if in the future you want more power you can do a 250/300 swap on it and the mods are very doable plus there are videos on how to do that. You will love that Grom like your mother loves you! Good luck. 👍
