Carburetor jetting change on my 2023 Honda XR150L to 108 main and 38 pilot.

- It had been raining for 3 days straight here in Ohio, so I decided to go ahead and make a jettibg change. The stock carburetor on the 2023 Honda XR150L has a 105 main jet, and a 35 pilot jet. It is very cold blooded, and usually doesn't start at all without full choke and warming it up for a while. So I decided to move up to a 108 main, and a 38 pilot. Also I'm very glad I did because while taking my bike apart I found a few hand tight bolts, and also the fuse box wasn't even attached correctly or at all to the bike. I would imagine that the quaility control isn't the greatest on these at rhe factory. lol But after going over the entire bike and lock tighting stuff down it's a nice little bike that should last longer than I do. Hopefully this video helps some of you that are hesitant to work on your bike to go ahead and try... then take it to a mechanic if you can't do what you're trying.

I left the Pilot jet stock but changed my main jet to a .115 and love it. I'm at about 800 feet here in Northwest Georgia but right close to me ia a mountain that peaks at 1500 feet that I ride to the top of regularly...No problems thus far and i'm at about 200 miles on my bike. I just really wanted my bike to run a tad rich so as to keep the engine a bit cooler and increase the longevity and life of the engine.
Thanks for sharing your modifications, and yeah it depends on where you're atnin elevation. I live in the highest point in Ohio 1,240 feet or cloee to the highest point. I haven't checked my spark plugs to see how it's been running since the jetting change, but I'm just super glad that I don't ever have to mess with the choke. It now starts first try amd stays running also, and doesn't start to stall when cold too. They had to jet it for EPA reasons or else I don't think this bike would have so many starting issues. Taking out that screen in the air box and the snorkel thing on top seemed to helo it get more air also. I can't wait to get new tires for it and ride more off road! Be safe man and thanks for watching and commenting
So is it a little better top end ? I could tell after you changed the jets it did need more rpm so good call on the idle adjustment .
After approximately 1500 miles or before mine broke in probably 15% more power was a happy surprise . I changed my headlight to led with no issue , and most likely less drain and power draw on start- up . Bonus .
I am still waiting for the big bore kit from SSShop making it a 222cc. Giving it 18-19 wheel hp , doubling the power and torque . Transforming this bike into and ultra cheap "sleeper" as 200cc. to 250cc. machines are twice the cost . It will be sweet passing all those minimotos , and chase down some 250cc. Please feel free to comment .
I have changed the oil plug to magnetic, the foot pegs are a must , added the battery cable . My coffee cup holder ended up working perfectly behind the tool kit on the rack in front of the signal light 👌 .
I have picked up a universal wind screen to install yet .
Yeah I can't wait to get my bike fully broken in and that added gain. It accelerates much better now after the jetting change, and the throttle response is much better! But it's been to windy here to be able to tell, but honestly I'd say it actually lowered the top speed. It was struggling to hit 60 but wasn't shuddering. Maybe I just needed a dsy without 30mph winds. But to me it feels better better 0 up to 50.
😮😮😮 Buck Potter CZcams channel I say throw a racing carburetor on there my homeboy Mr tile man he played with the jet on his race bike screwed it all up😅😅😅😅
I'm at 4500 ft of elevation and my XR150 seems to run great with the stock setup, as far as I can tell, although I'm tempted to try a larger jet. I suspect the elevation actually helps since the air is thinner. It does have the cold start issue, but I've never seen it as really a big issue. It eventually starts and just needs a minute to warm up. I don't ride it in weather colder than 50F or so.
Yeah everyone is going to have different experiences with these bike's across the country. I would definitely recommend a 38 pilot, because the stock jet is less quality and way less holes and it is so nice no matter what the temperature out it now starts first push of the button with no choke at all. It doesn't die off if you hit the throttle, and you can take off and ride instantly instead of even waiting 1 minute. Which sounds very impatient, but is actually a very nice convince to not have to mess with the choke ever and take off immediately! Do whatever you feel is right for you and your bike.
Try the 35/115 sometime. IMO it gives the best torque, throttle response, and no idle issues (cold starts will improve slightly). Fuel economy will go down some.
I will definitely keep that in mind, and maybe switch to that next tune. I'm just glad it starts first try without any choke at all. But haven't checked the spark plug yet to see how it's been running in the 100 miles since I've done the re jetting. Thanks for the advice!
@EbikesandMore If it starts and runs good that's the main thing. Doesn't really matter what the jet sizes are.
Mine starts on high beam all the time and no blown fuse yet. Maybe I'll not do that anymore
I'd say you've gotten lucky, and wouldn't risk it. I now have sense went ahead and just switched the 7.5 with a 10amp. If you look on the manual it shows that it was supposed to be a 10amp. Or atleast take a spare along with you if you don't want to bump start it. Lol Have fun on your vike man and thanks for watching!
@@EbikesandMore good advice! Be safe and God bless!
I went with 110 main only here at 750 ft elevation, hows the 38 pilot working out? my bike starts great with the 35 stock pilot but was wondering if it would give a little more torque just off idle.Heard some guys have idle issues with the 38 pilot after engine warms up.
I like it man. I might in the summer change it up, but I'm definitely happy with the throttle response and acceleration now! I turned the idle screw back up a quarter turn, because it wasn't starting any beter at first. But then after a few trys maybe enough fuel was getting through, because now my bike starts with not chock at all! It hasn't been as cold really sense... overnight it has... but you can tell the difference. Also man my main jet wasn't even really finger tight! So very glad I did it, because it was going to come off soon. And the stock jets a less quality that what I had.
@@EbikesandMorein the summer will you go back to 35 pilot jet? I tried 110&38 and bike idled low and even after tightening idle screw it didn't run well. I'm currently on 115&35 like mish mash did but I think it's a little too rich. I will try 110&35 next. I am at 200 elevation and in a hot climate
@@kriswthak9175hey bud I'm at the same elevation as you. (also spark arrestor delete and snorkel) I tried the stock 35 with a 115 didn't seem any better. Switched it to the 38/110 combo. Starts like a charm but man I can smell the gas from the exhaust. Throttle is snappier also.But running to rich. I'm going to switch to the aftermarket 35 with the 110. I read somewhere guys say the stock 35 is smaller then the oem.
