Hi, thanks for your question, I would say yes, you do need to drop them at least 10mm at the front, especially if you’re fully loaded or taking a pillion, the front wants to lift, however not so much if you’re not loaded, I will be lowering mine 10mm soon as I get time to do it before summer 👍🏼

@@mototripperuk thanks, I need to lower mine too, where did you get lowering kit?

@ if I remember I got it from Ebay, it’s the 30mm Lust lowering kit 👍🏼

@ I also got a lower seat, since I have a very short inside leg, so much more comfortable and more confidence

@@mototripperuk thank you.

@@colin9967 thanks on behalf of Aaron 👍🏼

I haven’t as yet, but it does need doing, I’m just careful where I park 👍🏼

@@mototripperuk THANKS

No I never got that, however I have changed my header to a Blackwidow to go with the blackwidow exhaust

@@mototripperuk Thank you... :) I'm an old guy... I hope I won't have heat issues even if I keep the stock exhaust ... Have a great day and enjoy many amazing rides!.... ciao from Italy :)

@@thefulldrivehotrockband5963 you’re very welcome, you will love this bike, it’s so agile at everything, have a great day buddy and stay in touch 👍🏼

I can’t remember it’s been that long since this video was done, at a guess I would say in a forum/ group somewhere

It was fun mate, even though I was still suffering sore ribs lol, when you’re up we will take you to them 👍🏼

@@soggybawsmoto hello mate, thanks for your comment, faster the better lol, planning on a few for 2025, it’ll be fun, hopefully see you around 👍🏼

Definitely, Lust Racing does the 30mm dogbones, I’ve also bought the genuine triumph low seat that brings it a further 20mm, total 50mm drop now, it will need to be dropped at the front 10mm as I can feel the front being light when fully loaded or pillion on, make sure to stiffen up rear suspension, far more control now and more confidence in slow manoeuvres, not dropped it once since, thanks for your comment and hope this information helps you 👍🏼

@@mototripperuk many thanks

It runs great and sounds amazing, there is a little bit of popping when throttling down, not massively, a little bit of tuning could be done 👍🏼

@@mototripperuk Thank you so much for your reply. Is it necessary to change the stock airfilter to performance air filter even if we change the slip on?

No you can do one or the other, it’s not necessary, but doing both definitely gives it a little extra oomph, you’re very welcome 👍🏼

@@mototripperuk Thanks Mark.

@msm083 you’re welcome 👍🏼

Thanks Graham

Hello John, we are getting there, see you around bud.

Thanks Shane, shouldn’t be that much longer, I’ll call you at some point over the weekend 👍🏼

@@mototripperuk nice one, remember I don’t get home until after six 👍🏻

@MrSTAdventures no worries dude, stay safe 👍🏼

Cheers bud, won’t be long till I get a couple of him with me done, thanks for your comment 👍🏼

Thanks bud 👍🏼

Thanks very much buddy, really appreciated

Ray had an app that he used that day I went with him, I’ll need to find out what it was, it was fun Shane, definitely need to do it again the proper way lol, you need to get yer ass up sir👍🏼

@@mototripperuk absolutely mate 👍🏻

I’m pretty sure they will if that’s the way you want to set them up, never seen anyone do that yet, so I can’t give you an answer on how good or bad it would be mate.

@@mototripperuk I was asking because then if they are under seat it might be more comfortable if you needed to take a passenger and if they happen to be empty and you leave the bike somewhere they would not be easy to steal

That’s a very good point Mike, definitely worth a go, I’m almost sure you will be able to put the straps under the seat, let me know how you get on buddy 👍🏼

No change that I can feel, just more confidence 👍🏼

Just a wee short one lol

It was good mate, just not the camping side of it lol

Cheers Shane, I’m sure it will buddy 👍🏼

Hi Alistair, was good meeting you too, maybe go for a ride sometime, take care 👍🏻

Hola, es un Fuel Diablo, hecho aquí en el Reino Unido, se envían al extranjero si estás interesado, gracias por tu interés.

😂😅aye he was there loud n proud

@@mototripperuk it was a brilliant weekend and it will be even better next year so it will 😂😂😂👍🏻

😂🤣 more than a sore head Graham, the journey was easy considering it was the CRF’s we were on, as long as you stop enough times it’s good, plenty of beer’s were consumed at a price 🤣🙈

Cracking!! 😂. 😂

The listing I got them from is no longer there, if you search for them in Amazon or EBay I’m sure you will see them.

Lol that's okay, hope the information helps you decide 👍

I do need one, but not urgently, I watch what side of the camber I'm parking on, so far all okay 👌

Yup lol

Hello buddy, nice meeting you, all be it briefly. The knee was fine yesterday as long as I stick to my pain meds routine. However, I can see an operation needing done in the future. I hope your ride went well, looking forward to seeing the video of it if you have one to to do, it's a great wee shop that, we stop there often, next time yer in the east side of the Borders let me know big fella, ride safe mate 👌

Cheers Graham, it was a good camp that one, however I can't say the same for the festival 😒 weather was crap, cold and mostly wet, the festival itself was great, on the second night I booked into a B&B less than 8 minutes away from the festival, I was in a lot of pain from my knee, it gave way & I fell, I have made the decision to not camp anymore due to this, no need to put myself through torture when trying to enjoy myself, the bad knee is from an injury received back in March 2022 when a clown pulled out in front of me at a junction, the rest is history.

@MrArunsikri hi thanks for your comment, I'm not sure what the difference is between them, apart from colour schemes and materials used, I think the stealth might shorter and lighter, yes my exhaust is the Diablo 👍

@@mototripperuk This sound good as compared to stock ?

Yes way better than stock

@@mototripperuk actually i was buying Remus racing exhaust but after seeing you video i am confused 😂

You can't go wrong with a fuel exhaust, there is another you could look into, try Black Widow Exhausts, I have that on my CRF300L, however it is significantly louder 🔊

No, I never got a new kickstand, for me it's okay, however you need to be careful with the camber when parking up, it is something I will do in the future, but right now it's okay, I have found no issues at all, in fact I find riding the bike more comfortable to handle now, thanks for your comment & hope this information is useful for you 👍

Yes mate, its a Coleman Festival Blackout 3, cracking tent, will do a review on it soon after the Lightweight Adventure Festival, I still have the Olpro Aberley, will use that when I'm on the Tiger 900RP, it's still a great tent, just a bit too bulky for the CRF300L.

@@mototripperuk look forward to it . I bought the olpro after seeing your video , I have not used it yet . Still waiting for summer to arrive down here in Lancashire. 👍

You guys had some cracking weather mate. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow 👍🏻 Cheers for the shout out and yes there are going to be plenty of adventures to come mate 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

You'll love that tent Colin, when I was at Skye, it was a godsend preventing the midges from bothering me, the tent has a mesh door to it & I could sit very comfortably in the porch area with chair & table & still plenty of room, the other lads were not so lucky lol.......SUMMER? what is summer? is that that thing above us with blue sky & feels warm lol ..... we were lucky that weekend, heading past your way this weekend mate.

We were lucky on this occasion Shane, lets hope its gonna be a dry one at least if no sunshine, your welcome for the shoutout, stick together matey....one more sleep!! lol

Cheers Shane, see you soon buddy 👍

@@mototripperuk ditto mate 👍🏻

It sure is Sharon, I would not change it for the world, I.was from a big City called Glasgow in Scotland, it's not a very nice place when you have grown up in it, the Scottish Borders East side where I am now is truly amazing, remember your both welcome over anytime 👍

Thanks Shane, if you need any, let me know, I'll bring them to the LWAF

@@mototripperuk thanks Mark 👍🏻

Hello to you buddy, Thanks for watching, here is the link to the whole setup I have now.....lol I do try & tone down my Glasgow accent. www.blackwidowexhausts.co.uk/crf300-l-performance-exhaust-system-300mm-oval-black-stainless-steel-carbon-tip-silencer-47710-p.asp

Thanks bud, sorry about the delay in response, notifications are rubbish just now for some reason, if your ever in Scotland on a visit let me know, I'll take you to it, Brian is an absolute gem of a guy, he won't mind as long as he knows who's coming, thanks for the comment 😁👌

hahaha!! I wish Shane lol, Brian is a really nice guy, knows how to ride an MX bike too

It really is a good camera, glad I invested in it for the LWA fest, the X2 is still a great camera if settings are done correctly, it's best to put the EV to -1, I don't know what settings you had yours on but you seem to have cracked it, great quality footage, not long to go now Shane, we are going on a ride to some trails when we are down, your welcome to come along, would be good to have you with us.

@@mototripperuk can’t wait Mark, a friend of mine will be joining us, he’s done a lot of long distance travels on his Rally 250 and now on his 300L, really nice fella 👍🏻

I just found this comment Shane, I'm not ignoring you bud, notifications are not great these days, it's the same with Facebook, nice to have more along with us, looking forward to meeting you both.

🤣😂🤣 I wish I was Shane lol, everything was fine bud, really tough little camera.

Yip that's where I was telling you about today Brian, watch this space 👌

To be honest, I don't think 30mm is enough for you height, what is your inside leg measurement? I'm 29 inches inside leg, I'm on the balls of my feet after lowering, it's far better but not great, if lowering further than 30mm then you will definitely need to lower front forks by 10mm or more, hope this helps 👍

I said in the video how tall I am, please watch it in full.

Thanks Shane, a little bit more power too 💪

That is something I've not looked into yet, I'll get the vernier tool out & measure it later today, no doubt I'll need a locking one too 😉

@@mototripperuk Thank you. I've got a reply from someone else who said it should be the 62.5mm (so the large one), hopefully you get the same measure :D I also do not feel comfortable without a lock on the gas tank, some stupid kid could put anything in there while I'm parked.

@@Tony-kf8qy yeh, very true about the tank lock 🔐 let me know how you get on if you could, I'm thinking you may have to drill a breather hole somewhere if the locking cap doesn't vent

@@mototripperuk From what I read the locking cap does vent. The only thing I've read is that sometimes it leaks (even though it has a mechanism that is supposed to prevent that), but I'm using my 300L for touring so it shouldn't be too much of an issue, I don't plan to drop it 20x per day trying backflips on the track haha.

🤣😂no worries, take it easy , thanks for commenting 👍

Yip she did lol, had to cut that bit out, was a belter lol, she rides a wee Honda Monkey bike 😁 she's keen to listen more now, before that....she just let me babble on 🤣😂

@@mototripperuk yeah my wife listens but not sure if she is taking it all in 😃🤣 thanks for the follow buddy , I have followed you back 👍🏻
