The wr155 really fits my needs as a commuter bike. Still running stock with nearly 30,000km on it and still gives power. I can still reach up to 110-120kph till now (im 6'1" and around 95kgs).. The only downside is the headlights which is a bit dim and thats it.. Also, for the last 2 years with it, i have seen some small paint that have cracked off but there are no rust on it, especially on the weld lines.. Very durable and reliable bike for me on daily use... Note i always do a weekly check on my bike and im a bit religious on maintenance and oil change.. Excellent bike for a tall mid heavy rider like me..😊
Yo bro I'm considering buying this bike ... everyone tells me its good points but not its bad ones.... could you tell tell me its bad points so I could be ready when I get it.... and also I'm curious about its mileage ...
I recently sold my wr 155 to a friend. I owned it for 2 years and the bike was amazing used ito for the philippine loop never had a problem. Tuning ability is amazing had mine with a programmable ecu and t-4 exaust and i could keep up with a crf250 for hours on end
I'm from Portugal, and there's a Portuguese motorcycle manufacturer called AJP i own a 200cc Supermoto, and it's a 10/10. They also offer a dual sport version, which i recommend.
I like your vids sir, you cover some great stuff. I like the Honda better because it's air cooled which means one less system to have to worry about breaking. I wish these smaller displacement bikes were sold where I live. Cheers from the USA!
I Love the they say "cons" of wr what matters most for me is the satisfaction it gives me everytime I used it on terrains and the looks were outstanding
The CRF 150 engine really lacks a bit of grunt specially when offroading and tackling a steep hill .. But it is bullet proof, A proven engine design since the TMX 155. Looks - it is subjective and yes, the WR155 looks like a China bike.. ;-)
Unsure about WR155, but actually heard numerous times that budget Hondas are in fact China-made. What comes to the steep hills, you might counter that by changing the sprocket for more torque.
I'm leaning on getting the crf150l, as I have an xsr155 it's a pain in maintenance and I want a different feel for the engine. Although the "high" price point and same quality to the xsr150l really turns me off. I think it's better to just get the xr150l having an extra 50k, just upgrade the hell out of it.
Agree, kind of. Wish at least they would install the same godly seats onto CRF as XR has. Also no sure how easy that would be to install the rear rack and saddlebags on CRF. Considering a dual-sport for the future (pillion should be in comfort too!), and there's not so many options for this segment. Considering simplicity and a bit more power, KLX230 is also a great option, but a bit more costly ofc (~190k PHP). But the questions about rack and good seats remains the same.
What you said about the bearings being dry in the triple tree, I've seen another video who happened to showcase exactly that issue on a Honda 450. He'd mentioned something about cheaper labor where it was manufactured & they cut corners on lube to all the bearings? I wouldn't know to check if it were not for you & his report. You do not think of this on a new bike & really I'd not expect a problem for years unless I road the hell out of the bike. peace
I am not mechanically inclined but my knuckle bearings i think that's the bearing you're talking about started going defective after 1 year and i had to have them replaced. I think most mechanics can do this may be suggestion is go to a mechanic and ask them to heavily lubricate all of the important parts including the knuckle bearing luckily was only about 2,000 pesos to replace the bearing but still i felt it should not go bad within one year considering i rarely right off road and don't do jumps. That's probably the biggest problem i had with my crf150l in 2 years and 22,000 km so it's a very good motorcycle.
Thank you for that Mark, that was exactly the info I was hoping to learn as IDKnow what dual sport I'll end up with as I try to save up. What I do know, this little 150L will be a good choice if I can't get more of a bike? That said, I already know most the MOD's I'll want/need to make the bike function for me & knowing any/all possible issues ahead of the fact are paramount in my riding safely. The bearings have been brought to my attention before I saw this so I'm glad to hear it so I can be ready to have it dealt with at the dealer prior to taking the bike out of the dealership. I'd probably pay to have bark buster/hand guards put on by the dealer & to have them grease up the bearings as well. What I've found is that Honda builds some bikes in other countries using labor that is not as talented & cutting corners on the amounts of grease used. I know that sounds stupid but I've heard about this problem from 4-5 places already and then from one who knows about the manufacture of Honda's in his area, he said that his boss told them to use less grease so that w/ the humid conditions and/or the shipping allows moisture to work on those under-lubed joints making them fail faster. Also the bearings might not be that good & truth be known, it might be wise to buy another new bearing & have that installed just to make sure that corner wasn't cut as well? The one place on a bike you can't afford to be messed up is the front triple-tree, your control over everything. Thank you much!
I have a CRF 150 L. I got it new in December 2023. I like it most of the time BUT the engine makes this annoying rattling noise. I am told that this is normal. ? BS! Honda would never deliberately design an engine with a built in rattle noise. That would have been a deal breaker if I had known in advance, but in PH, you are never allowed to test drive before you buy.
Dealership support here is almost non-existent.. glad I'm a certified Honda tech from MMI in the states. Mine so far has been absolutely awesome.. after I went through everything and completed a Honda certified PDI..
@@SurRonAlot I enjoy driving my CRF 150 L, mostly on the road. I had the front sprocket changed form 15 to 14 teeth. This gives me better slow speed control. I am an old guy, retired from Seattle, living in Bataan. Here there is often slippery mud on the road. so far the CRF handles the mud OK.
@@dalecs47 I hear ya.. I changed mine to 53T rear and 14T front.. way better torque and top speed went from 136kph to 113kph.. still doable on national highways.. at least in Negros..
@@dalecs47 Hey.. if you want to buy a slightly used set (maybe 75km) of 17" supermoto wheels/tires for your bike then let me know.. @Manoy 66 built them.. I just decided to go mini moto so mine are for sale.
@@SurRonAlot Say, did you ever get your engine to stop that rattling noise? I am told by my dealer that the noise is normal and not to worry about it. But really? Other than that I really enjoy driving my CRF 150 L. At first it was a little too much for me, I being almost 70 years old. I now have over 4,000 K and have finally got to where I really enjoy having it.
Tama hula ko sa isang cons ng wr155, hndi Pinoy friendly haha taas ng seat height 😅. Maganda sana eh, maporma, at may ibubuga tlaga which is reputation na ng yamaha, kaso di pinalad sa height para dto 😅

Height is just an issue if you go trail riding otherwise it's a okay. My 5'3" father used to ride 1. Well he got the seat shaved but the suspension was stock. He's riding a Raider or a Click 125 now as he got older.😅 I think it's more on an inseam thing rather than your height.
my husband own a wr155 for 3 years now and you are same height. he used it for his work for 2 years riding it in which you can consider a medium difficulty trail road, you'll get used to it when you frequently use it on that condition but in highways and pave roads it got no problem.

If given the chance i would. I have the Serow 250's street oriented sibling, the Tricker 250. I also made a video featuring that bike.
