2007 Honda CRF 250X Overview
Honda CRF 250X is an enduro / off-road motorcycle, displacing 249 cc. Power comes from a Single cylinder engine running SOHC valve actuation, a compression ratio of 12.5:1. Bore and stroke come in at 78 x 52.2 mm. On the road, the 2007 CRF 250X tips the scales at 102.1 kg, carries an 8.32-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 958 mm and spans a 1,481 mm wheelbase. The full 2007 Honda CRF 250X spec sheet below covers every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes.

- With 249 cc, the CRF 250X has the joint 387th 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 474 models within five model years of it, the seat height of 958 mm is taller than that of 392 of the other 473.
Versus the 2006 model
The figures we track are unchanged from the 2006 model: displacement and seat height all match.
2007 CRF 250X - Pros & Cons
Strengths
-
🛑
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
-
🔧
Carburetor fuelling: Expect to spend more time keeping the carbs in tune, especially after long storage periods or a change in altitude.
-
📏
Tall seat height: At 958 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 8.32-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
Carburetor maintenance
Carburetors on the CRF 250X need periodic attention - pilot jets and float needles are the first parts to gum up after the bike sits, and the first thing to check if idle or throttle response degrades.
Valve clearance checks
With SOHC valve gear, the CRF 250X 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 - solid stopping power, with disc and pad wear best checked on the same schedule as tyre changes.
Suspension condition on used examples
The CRF 250X's suspension runs 47.0mm inverted Showa cartridge fork with 16-position rebound and 16-position compression damping adjustability at the front. The rear uses Pro-Link Showa single shock with spring-preload, 17-position rebound-damping adjustability, and compression-damping adjustment separated into low-speed. Fork-seal condition and rear linkage play are the two things worth checking before buying used.
Final drive maintenance
The CRF 250X 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.
Low-speed handling
102.1 kg keeps the CRF 250X easy to move around in tight spaces, car parks and on the stand alike.
CRF 250X - Buying & Maintenance Guide
What to check before buying
Before handing over money for a used 2007 Honda CRF 250X with its 249 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 19 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 250X should catch quickly and settle into a smooth idle.
Oil and filter changes
Nothing protects the CRF 250X's 249 cc single cylinder like disciplined oil changes - stay on the manufacturer's schedule (roughly every 6,000 km or annually). With a 12.5:1 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.
Carburetor upkeep
Deposits in the carbs are the usual culprit behind poor running on a stored CRF 250X - strip and clean the float bowls before the first start. Pilot jets clog first and get overlooked most, so make a point of checking them.
Valve clearance service
Valve clearances are easy to overlook on a used CRF 250X 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.
