2014 Honda CRF250R Overview

Honda CRF250R is a cross / motocross motorcycle, displacing 249 cc. Power comes from a Single cylinder, four-stroke engine running SOHC valve actuation, a compression ratio of 13.5:1. Bore and stroke come in at 76.8 x 53.8 mm. On the performance side, it delivers 47.70 Nm @ 6500 of torque. On the road, the 2014 CRF250R tips the scales at 104.8 kg, carries a 6.28-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 950 mm and spans a 1,488 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 6.2 kg heavier than the average cross / motocross motorcycle in our database. The full 2014 Honda CRF250R spec sheet below covers every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes.

2014 CRF250R - 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 950 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 6.28-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 CRF250R 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 SOHC valve gear, the CRF250R 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 Double 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 CRF250R's suspension runs 48mm 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 CRF250R 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

104.8 kg keeps the CRF250R easy to move around in tight spaces, car parks and on the stand alike.

CRF250R - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

Before handing over money for a used 2014 Honda CRF250R, 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 CRF250R should catch quickly and settle into a smooth idle.

Oil and filter changes

Nothing protects a CRF250R'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 CRF250R 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 CRF250R 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.
