2019 Honda CRF 250L Overview

Honda CRF 250L is an enduro / off-road motorcycle, displacing 249.6 cc. Power comes from a Single cylinder, four-stroke engine running Double Overhead Cams/Twin Cam (DOHC) valve actuation, a compression ratio of 10.7:1. Bore and stroke come in at 76 x 55 mm. On the performance side, it delivers 22 Nm @ 7000 Revolutions of torque. On the road, the 2019 CRF 250L tips the scales at 144 kg, carries a 7.95-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 874 mm and spans a 1445 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 25.5 kg lighter than the average enduro / off-road motorcycle in our database. The full 2019 Honda CRF 250L spec sheet below covers every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes.

2019 Honda CRF 250L compared with other bikes in the Enduro / Off-Road category

We checked the recorded figures for the 2019 Honda CRF 250L against up to 1434 bikes in the Enduro / Off-Road category in our database, counting each model once at the model year nearest to this one.

Only 182 of the other 815 bikes in the Enduro / Off-Road category have a lower torque than the 22 Nm of the CRF 250L.
With 250 cc, the CRF 250L has the joint 510th smallest engine displacement of 1434 bikes in the Enduro / Off-Road category, 49% below the category average of 486 cc.
Narrowing the field to the 298 models within five model years of it, the torque of 22 Nm is lower than that of 257 of the other 297.

Versus the 2018 model

Compared with the 2018 model, wet weight fell from 145.2 kg to 144 kg (-1.2 kg) and seat height came down from 881 mm to 874 mm (-7 mm). Peak torque is unchanged.

2019 CRF 250L - Pros & Cons

Strengths

Fuel injection: Fuel injection means consistent cold starts and clean throttle response without the fussiness of a carbureted setup.
Strong front braking: Stopping power up front is strong thanks to the single disc setup, with plenty of room to upgrade further with braided lines.

Considerations

Tall seat height: At 874 mm, shorter riders will likely be on tiptoes at a standstill - worth sitting on one before you buy.
Modest fuel capacity: Range between stops is limited by the 7.95-litre tank - plan fuel stops accordingly on longer routes.
Chain final drive upkeep: Budget time for routine chain maintenance - it's cheap to replace but needs consistent attention to avoid premature sprocket wear.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Fuelling & injector care

The fuel injection on the CRF 250L needs little beyond good fuel and periodic use of an injector-cleaner additive - no jetting or float-bowl maintenance to worry about.

Valve clearance checks

With Double Overhead Cams/Twin Cam (DOHC) valve gear, the CRF 250L needs periodic clearance checks; caught early they're a cheap adjustment, left unchecked they accelerate valve seat wear.

Brake disc and pad wear

Braking up front comes from single disc with two-piston calipers - solid stopping power, with disc and pad wear best checked on the same schedule as tyre changes.

Suspension condition on used examples

The CRF 250L's suspension runs 43mm inverted fork at the front. The rear uses Pro-Link® single shock with spring; 9.4 inches travel. Fork-seal condition and rear linkage play are the two things worth checking before buying used.

Final drive maintenance

The CRF 250L uses chain final drive, which is cheap to replace but needs regular cleaning, lubrication and tension checks to get a full service life out of the sprockets.

CRF 250L - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

Before handing over money for a used 2019 Honda CRF 250L with its 249.6 cc enduro / off-road, cover the fundamentals: service book and oil change history, drivetrain wear, and any sign of oil weeping around the casings. This model runs chain final drive, so check chain slack and sprocket tooth profile specifically - a worn sprocket is a cheaper fix now than after it's chewed up the next chain. Now 7 years old, this enduro / off-road is as likely to show age-related wear (perished rubber, seized fasteners, degraded seals) as mileage-related wear. Cold-starting it yourself tells you a lot - a healthy CRF 250L should catch quickly and settle into a smooth idle.

Oil and filter changes

Nothing protects the CRF 250L's 249.6 cc single cylinder, four-stroke like disciplined oil changes - stay on the manufacturer's schedule (roughly every 6,000 km or annually). The sump holds 1.80 litres, so budget for that volume of quality motorcycle-specific engine oil. With a 10.7:1 compression ratio, running the octane grade specified in the manual matters more than on a lower-compression engine. Match the viscosity grade to what the owner's manual specifies, not what's cheapest.

Fuel system care

Fuel injection on the CRF 250L needs little attention beyond decent fuel and an occasional system-cleaner additive. Anything left standing for three months or more should have its fuel drained and replaced before it varnishes the injectors.

Valve clearance service

Valve clearances are easy to overlook on a used CRF 250L since a bike out of spec doesn't always feel obviously wrong - but the wear it causes is real. Ask the seller for documentation before assuming it's been done.
