Honda XR or CRF 50?

[pitmaster]

Hey guys, iam going to buy a mini in the next week or so,

whats the difference between XR and CRF? which is better?

 

[50s BRotherhood #1]

the crf is newer, the xr50 is the old crf50, they swaped names and plastics over a few years ago, not sure on the dates, but you get my drift?

oh i see, so thats the difference, thanks dude,

might stick with the CRF50 than, 05-07 cause they never changed anything from 05-07 ay.

yep all pretty much the same around those years. look forward to seeing your new mini

yep decided to keep the custom build now, and buy a crf50 for my son, and the more he grows the more mods ill put on it but he'll (me actually) will need 88c kitaco kit as starters lol,

The 07 crf50's dont have a air mixture screw on the carbi, as the older 05 bike do have the mixture screw. other than that not much differance.

Ive got a 07 crf50 myself, i just used some very smal washers to space up the needle clips position to tune the carbie in better for my use, but if your getting the 88kit straight up it dont matter what year you get because you'l be needing a new carbi anyways.
