This spring once the snow melts i will be bring my 150 out for a nother year of riding, right befor i put it away for the winter the back spring went on it $(need a hole new back suspention)$ once i get that done i would like too get some aftermarket stuff for my bike i dont wanna to spend too much money but enuf to pimp it out, i think i'll be buying a set of renthals for it as my 909's have bent over the summer from crashing
i would also liek to find a pipe i know some kid that has one if i would get it from him that would be grate it is a Big Gun Race exhaust (does anyone have one?) are they anygood? do they add any hp's ? i would also like to get a twin air filter also.
Dose anyone have any other ideas for my bike ? that make a difference and are not that much $ and not hard to install.
-Thanks
Brett.

i have a 150f also, the way i upgraded it with mininal $ was by uncorking the exhaust and i also removed the snorkel and rubber lining in the air box that was all free cuz i did it my self it only took like 15 mins. but when u do that u got to rejet the carb i think the jet was like 8 bucks and u can get a more free flowing air filter for like 15-20 bucks. so i hope this info helps u out.

when you say your rear spring is broken, is it cracked? If your bike feels bouncy then the shock might only need to be rebuilt. Have you noticed any oil at the bottom of it? A rebuild of seals, bearing, oil and gas charge is a lot cheaper than a new suspension. If only the actual spring is broken, it even cheaper. As far as mods for the bike...how are the tires, brakes, or forks? Much more useful than a pipe for a trail bike.

Unfortunately the 150 and 230 are non rebuildable… add to that no compression or dampening clickers…. Only sag… I’d rather not talk about it… LOL

It’s no different than the bike it replaces. The XR200 was the same and they sold a few of them.
Up here in Canada it almost half the price of the 450X I wanted. Hey…. Ya get what you pay for!

Well...one day i took it would after school and i haden't had it going for about a week due to shitty weather once i got it out i felt something was wrong but didn't stop to look just drove er' then i new it was my back suspention this happend to a nother buddy of mine on his 150 exact same problem...shock i's leeking a little somthing and it is super bouncey and i'v heard from people on diff. web sites that my seals are got and i need new niterogin(spelling?) put in my back shock
the only way to do that is to take your shock out spend $285. dollers(canadian) to get it fixed by a dealer!!
