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. The full 2014 Honda CRF250R spec sheet below covers every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes.

2014 Honda CRF250R compared with other bikes in the Cross / motocross category

We checked the recorded figures for the 2014 Honda CRF250R against up to 200 bikes in the Cross / motocross category in our database, counting each model once at the model year nearest to this one.

Only 46 of the other 128 bikes in the Cross / motocross category have a lighter wet weight than the 104.8 kg of the CRF250R.
With 950 mm, the CRF250R has the joint 75th tallest seat height of 200 bikes in the Cross / motocross category, 5% above the category average of 902 mm.
Narrowing the field to the 74 models within five model years of it, the wet weight of 104.8 kg is lighter than that of 39 of the other 73.

Versus the 2013 model

Compared with the 2013 model, peak torque increased from 14.1 Nm to 47.7 Nm (+33.6 Nm) and wet weight went up from 103 kg to 104.8 kg (+1.8 kg). Displacement and seat height are unchanged.

2014 CRF250R - 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 double disc setup, with plenty of room to upgrade further with braided lines.

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 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 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 with its 249 cc cross / motocross, 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 12 years old, this cross / motocross 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 CRF250R should catch quickly and settle into a smooth idle.

Oil and filter changes

Nothing protects the CRF250R's 249 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 13.5:1 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.

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.
