First Start Up And Test Ride Of The Season | 2021 CRF150R

This is the first time this bike has been started in over a year... It's a 2021 Honda CRF150RB with a set of Tusk Impact wheels for the R so we call it an R/RB. It only has like 3 hours of ride time on it so it's practically brand new. We bought it for Brianna's mom then immediately found out she was pregnant with Corey. So that is why the bike has not been ridden much, that and the first time my wife rode it she whiskey throttled it and flipped it into an icy puddle 🤦‍♂️ This upcoming indoor flat track season I'm thinking about racing it out there

THE EASIEST WAY TO STAART 150rs is to turn the gas on give it 5 min turn the choke pump the throttle 3 times then kick with no throttle

[donmiller]

Don't lean it over. Choke on, don't pump the throttle, kick until it fires. Once it fires and idling really low give it a minute then slowly open the throttle and it will idle up higher

[Mrbiker-]

Don’t be tipping the bike to get fuel into the carb the bike is already made to do that. Just turn on the gas and let it sit for 5 minutes then pull the choke, this will let more gas then air enter the cylinder and will be easier to start and be less prone to flooding. Also don’t kick it like it’s a drum take your time

I find that after I’ve had a bike for awhile, whether it’s electric start, carb, fuel injected, I get to know it’s little ways about how it like to be woken up. They all have some quirks.

[Edward-rgmh]

A trick to never having a failed start. At the end of every ride, shut off the fuel petcock and let the bike idle until the carburator runs dry and bike dies. If you don't do this every time you ride, the ethynol fuel with plug the carburator jets.

[carlostrujillo]

No issues with start up that is normal, just needs a few kicks to get the fuel circulating to the carb...I started my 19kx100 today after a month that I havent rode it is 30 degrees outside, pulled the choke gave it about 9 kicks and it fired up, it died 3 times since it was cold but each start up idled longer and longer until it went high idle and held on choke let it warm for 5-9 min with choke then I released it and it stayed on...I have my set screw set really low idle so if I don't twist the throttle a hair it will eventually die on its own, il prob adjust that sometime. if you flood the carb turn the fuel off on the petcok and kick it till it flushes some fuel out you will see that dripping off your line under the bike..the bike will start with the fuel off but remember to turn it on so it don't choke out

[EasyRiderGreg]

That's why I like electric start. But you got it going. Have a great weekend.

[chloemx]

That’s the down side with 150’s, if they’ve been sitting for a while it takes forever to kickstart. Try kicking it slowly a few times and give it gas, no other things really that you can do. Like what you did seems to have worked decent, getting gas through the carb

[GG-cwer]

I have a 2022 and it does the same thing. I’ve heard that it’s the jetting that makes it so hard to start in the a little bit colder weather.

[cmamt]

Try not kicking it, slowly push the kick start down a few times, then try the kick. I used to kick it again and again until i get frustrated. Now I dont even use the choke, and sometimes it starts by just slowly pushing it down.

[thetrainmaster.]

Woah! Top dead center! Find the compression stroke, it isn’t going to start if it isn’t on the compression stroke

[didickcheeseburger]

that was some pretty dramatic music for starting a dirt bike

[Ccrider]

Doesn’t finding top dead center help it start? Just kicking like that won’t do anything.

[onesabez]

This motivated me to make more bike content.

[subraru]

Do not lean the bike over you will just flood the Bike instantly fuel is gravity Fed from the tank So the carb gets gas the best when it's standing straight up

[mrsmel]

heck yess!!! we had a 08 there fun as heck !!! enjoy the weekend guys.

[wesley_estilette]

You messed up when you leaned it over, just give it a minute or two to fuel up the carb pump the throttle 1-2 times depending on how cold it is and just kick until it fires up

[WheelieRiderLife]

Im planning on buying a new one and first thing id probably do a jet kit or at least a bigger pilot jet along with the o ring mod on the Excelerator pump and pump adjustment so it gets more fuel on start up and should ripp better

[fxl]

I have to give to little twists for mine, then kick, right as it fires up i have to choke it.

[John-Anderson]

You should watch a video on how to kick start a bike it sounds dumb but your doing it wrong your suppost to ste up the the piston in the right position then kick it
