Thank you for this. Been on the fence about getting a 300 Rally or looking for something bigger, thinking the 300 isn't capable. Now i think the Rally is plenty adequate for me, more than i need even!

Thanks for the insights. I've not ridden for twenty years (after riding all the time before that), and a crf 300 rally or 3rd-gen klr 650 are at the top of my short list for an impending purchase.

Nice! I've owned a gen 2 KLR as well and now a Tenere 700. All great bikes and super reliable. Another bike I've been interested in lately is the CFMoto 450MT. Worth checking out if you're between those two bikes. It'd be a much better highway experience than the 300L and a little lighter than the KLR for about the same amount of money. Also less vibration than a KLR.

@@NatePoeppel I almost had a 450mt on order, but the gas tank's not big enough for what I want. The Kove 450 rally looks great, but I'll wait a year to see if they bring out an adv variant, and what the reliability is.

I removed the air box snorkel and added 3 UNI vents to the door and modified my exhaust. I tried a 13 up front and just lost a gear. But a 15 with a 91 octane stage 1.0 tune sounds like it might get it where I’d like it on the road and dirt. (As long as I can still clutch it up in second.) And then I have to get the fork kit. I hate how the front end dives when I hit the front brake. And then……

750 lb tongue weight hitch. 600 pound Black Widow motorcycle carrier I got on Amazon. Key locking hitch pin. Soft ties connected to the fork tubes or handlebars to prevent chipping. Short rackets going from them to the front mounting points on the carrier. Fork saver brace between the front fender and tire to protect the fork seals and make the bike more stable. Ratchet covered in rubber tubing wrapping under the hitch carrier and connected to the subframe or footpegs pulling downward to compress the bike centrally. Additional tie down running from handlebar closest to the van to the actual van hitch. Tie down running from left end of handlebars to right door upper hinge. Carved out yoga block or tennis ball on right handlebar end nearest the van to protect the glass.

Hi I saw a video you did with Caleb Hoover about audio. I have questions on how to use the S5iix with a tentacle sync E set. I've been getting super loud high frequency noise whenever I use the tentacle connected via a Y cable, 1 channel gets timcode signal and the other gets the sound signal. Mic socket is set to MIC. No other settings as far as I know. I use a sanken CS1 mic with a XVIVE P1 phantom power supply connected to it and a cable connecting xlr to 3.5 mm mini jack cable to the audio output of the camera. The sound is recorded fine when I just use the mic connected to the camera. It took me some time to understand that I get the loud noise only when I turn my tentacles on to sync with the HFs connected to my Zoom F6 external sound device. Help me please. Is there something else I need to set in the camera menu to be able to get a correct sound? Maybe the timecode menu? I don't get it... Thanx a lot!

Hi Nate - I use the same setup (sometimes two mt’s instead of the lift… and two biners for the anchor eight knot). How sketchy is the walk-up to set the anchor?
@NatePoeppel Жыл бұрын
Not bad at all. I took a bit of an adventurous approach (the first camera angle after the initial talking portion). There's an easy gully left of that when looking up the approach. As for walking out on the ledge, it's short and you can always pop a cam or two in while building the anchor as a backup for yourself. It's a beautiful line as a TR solo. Give it a shot and let me know what you think of it.

I got the 600 lb Black Widow one that was sold on Amazon for around $250. It’s held up, but I’ll probably upgrade to something nicer in the future or will reinforce this one somehow. There’s more wobble than I’d like in it. I upgraded to the 500 lb tongue weight curt hitch but the 750 lb one looks like a much better design for this amount of weight. I’d go for the 750.

If u know how to ride offroad, these 50/50 tires like the D605 are actually great for these kind of bikes {except mud}. They come stock on the KLX, and air'd down to 13-14psi for slower speed trail riding they actually grab good. I have an air pump and on long trips I bring it with. Even DOT knobbies rob any enjoyment of riding on pavement, vibrate and cant lean into curves.

I initially looked at this bike and the rally version. The forks and rear shock are abysmal for off road use. (Not even as good as the old XR's/DR's) By the time you do the fork mod and swap the rear shock for something like an Ohlin piggy back - You are within $2000.00 of the Honda 450 RL, which is much better in every way. I have an old (91) DR250 I ride. It came with better forks and a piggy back fully adjustable rear shock.....In 1991. I'm still looking for a replacement for it, because in my mid 50's I'm getting tired of kicking :)
