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 54.8 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 CRF 250L - Pros & Cons
Strengths
-
🔧
Fuel injection: Fuel injection means consistent cold starts and clean throttle response without the fussiness of a carbureted setup.
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. 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, cover the fundamentals: service book and oil change history, chain and sprocket wear, and any sign of oil weeping around the casings. 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 a CRF 250L's engine 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. 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.
