The 2015 Honda CRF150F is renowned for its reliability, user-friendly torque, and low-maintenance design. Maintaining the air filter is critical to preserve engine life, ensure optimum performance, and maximize your ride's longevity. The 2015 CRF150F comes standard with a washable and reusable foam air filter – a design made for easy care and maximum protection on the trails .

Why Clean & Replace Your Air Filter?

  • Engine Protection: The foam air filter captures dirt and debris, preventing harmful particles from entering the engine.
  • Consistent Performance: Clean air filters ensure smooth airflow, which the 149cc engine requires for responsive power across the rpm range .
  • Simple Maintenance: The CRF150F filter is engineered for repeated cleaning, helping reduce long-term costs .

How to Access the Air Filter

  1. Turn off the engine and let your bike cool completely.
  2. Use a 10mm socket to remove the seat bolts.
  3. Lift the seat to expose the airbox beneath.
  4. Unscrew and gently remove the air filter cover inside the airbox.
  5. Slide out the foam air filter; note the fitment for reinstallation.

Cleaning the Foam Air Filter

  1. Remove excess dirt by gently tapping the filter or using compressed air (low pressure only).
  2. Wash the filter in a basin of warm water with a mild soap or a specialized foam filter cleaner. Never use gasoline or harsh chemicals.
  3. Rinse thoroughly with clean water, squeezing (not wringing) excess moisture out until water runs clear.
  4. Allow the filter to air dry completely in a dust-free environment.
  5. Once dry, evenly apply foam filter oil by working it thoroughly through the filter to trap future dust and debris. Do not over-oil; squeeze out any excess oil.

Reinstalling or Replacing the Air Filter

  1. Inspect the filter sealing surface and the airbox for leftover dirt or oil – clean thoroughly before refitting.
  2. If the filter shows signs of wear, tears, or degraded foam, replace it immediately with a compatible dual-stage foam model for optimal protection .
  3. Position the filter properly into the airbox, ensuring a snug seal all around.
  4. Secure the airbox cover and reattach the seat. Tighten all bolts to factory torque settings.
