10 Tips For Setting Up A Great Woods Bike - Husqvarna 300

[@scottdavis8984]

Just bought a WR250f at age 62 , yes because of you , thanks for everything ,

[@bobbyw9046]

I've been riding for 20 years and have never met anyone who leaves their Bike 100% stock - lol! That's part of owning a Bike - customization :)

[@erickfernandez8485]

Bobby W i do i leave it bone stock down to the air and fuel filter. Same with my cars i dont like messing with them unless i purchased them for that reason.

[@humdinger5701]

Buying a bike is just the down payment for all the farkles

[@kurthaller3924]

erick, that's weird

[@erickfernandez8485]

Kurt Haller no i just dont see why mess with it then it voids the warranty. To me if your going to change it then you never really liked it at all. If i spend 50 grand on a new truck why change the rims and tires if they are new. Now if the get damaged then i might change them

[@jeffflick2573]

Love your Husqvarna & the way you have it set up. I have a older ktm-300xc & love the 300 2 strokes. On my bike I have a carbon fiber pipe guard the same radiator guards that you have + fastway handguards. I still would like to put a lectron carb on it though but the keihin isn't to bad.

[@beowolfthorsen9619]

I love what you've done with the bike. I don't understand what people in the comments are talking about, I enjoy watching you modify your bike and ride with Jack. Keep up the videos and God Bless!

[@Bigjqrl]

You’re not losing your way anyone that is smart with money can afford awesome toys and builds... great videos!! Love the bike

[@charlesmcmasters]

You know, I don't even like motocross stuff but I enjoyed this video because you took the time to explain why the change was made. Glad you have found a hobby you and Jack can enjoy together, just remember to keep fun in the mix.

[@Luke-jw6zn]

well good thing this isnt motorcross..

[@meme_enthusiast3021]

not motocross, its enduro

[@tyleralphonso199]

So the top pro enduro riders arent using the Rekluse Auto clutch and left hand brake because A- They dont need to B - thats catered to your leisure easy rider thats a little competitive C - A lot of their control comes from always using the clutch... hopping over logs, going up hills, rough terrain etc its more control D - The Midwest levers are good with Rekluse, not so much with stock clutch. Midwest is an easier pull but you also have to pull it further into the bars. With the stock clutch lever, cut down a little allows 2 finger pull but I only have to pull it in less than an inch from full out to completely disengage clutch. Couple tradeoffs. Now for my Dad that, your bike is an ideal setup for sure! Really like your vids

[@UnEmmerdeur]

Thanks for the informative video. I have ridden for 45 years and have a lot of experience. Always appreciate seeing other's setups. I always gain new insight. Haters are going to hate. Ignore the naysayers.

[@NRCustom]

The clear carb bowl is the coolest thing I will see all day.

[@mschmitz57]

Me too.

[@mavos1211]

I applaud you for seeking professional advise, that way you can get your set up completed as quickly as possible and eliminate potential problems whilst riding. This now frees you up and allows you to enjoy your time with Jack. Some people are too obsessed with tweaking and setups that they forget the primary objective which is to HAVE FUN!

[@ddro3443]

I love the dirt bike vids. I am not sure who the quote is originally attributed to but the story goes like this. A young dirt biker approaches the wily old local pro after a hard race. The young rider says " I am your biggest fan, and I am setting up my bike just like the pros, I have $500 bucks to spend on modifications - what do you think I should do to upgrade my bike?" The old vet looks at him for a few seconds and says- "Son - spend that $500 on gas and ride that bike just like it is."

[@jackreeves3001]

I love you diversify things. Keeps your channel fresh and interesting. Keep doing what you do!

[@dowdawg]

Nice upgrades, now you have a bike that fits your type of riding... You told me i was clueless weeks ago when i said you could use a trials bike. Glad to see you made some much needed changes, you will enjoy it much more with those improvements!!! Nice riding to you...

[@SuperKingslaw]

Glad to see you discovering and enjoying New things, and rediscovering old passions! Both are good for the soul.

[@jamiespoering7524]

Another dirt bike video! Keep it up, post whatever videos that you want. The addition of the dirt bike videos has given me even more of an interest in your channel. I love wood working and motorcycles, tools, have an extensive background in construction myself. Don"t let the naysayers get you down, its a great inspiration to see and hear the love of God, Family, country and true manly/ womanly ways daily and in such an easily accessed manor.

[@TXSuburbanHomestead]

Don't have a dog in the fight. I've never ridden bikes and I've never even been to the Pacific NW, but I'm glad to see you enjoying this project so much. Great job dealing with the "experts" on here. Keep having fun!

[@paulrichard1307]

Oh wow! I have been following a lot of your content an never knew you ride enduro. Much respect. It's a great sport!

[@Dragontallon4185]

I subscribed because of the bike stuff but I enjoy all of the chainsaws, axes and tree stuff also. And always love to hear from other Christians. Keep on doing your stuff. It's great

[@brianzeh7719]

I thought when I bought my 2015 Husqvarna and paid top dollar for a top of the line bike that I would leave it stock. Ha! Always something out there to improve comfort and performance. Thats why its called a hobby. Something you like to tinker with and enjoy the end results. Love the videos. Keep it up.

[@Scottstunts]

I have a 2017 TE 300 and I’ve gone through the suspension, added a lectron carb, v force reeds, FMF turbine core silencer, trail tech fan kit, bullet proof radiator guards and a different impeller for cooling. These mods made the bike much much better.

[@MrJasonfromcanada]

I love that you're doing dirt bike vids with one of the best enduro bikes. I'm just north of you in British Columbia.

[@GlenRickerd]

Not a dirt biker, but as usual lots of good engineering reasoning, which is universal. Looks like a sweet setup.

[@altonhardison5027]

I wouldn’t care if you were reviewing a stick I’d still watch it you go so In depth with these videos 👍🏻

[@gamezonefamily5635]

That's killer that you went with a blue smoker! I recommend that you take Jack to Washougal Mx this summer to watch a live national. It's unreal.... Thanks for consistently releasing quality honest content.

[@edblough4134]

Interesting reading, I used to race hare scrambles and ride gas lines 40 years ago in PA and West Virginia. Plenty of hills and creek crossings. I enjoy seeing all the new stuff, back in the day we manufactured most of our “improvements”.

[@davidoyama9753]

Hey Cody great job with the upgrades ! You and your bike expert that is helping you are amazing ! I am stoked to see the next video when your bike is finished and then we can see you riding again ! Like all of your videos and know that it is a lot work to edit them too ! 👍

[@1020fender]

Time for the red spring.

[@petripeuraniemi6750]

1020fender facts:D

[@lbeck119]

I put the red spring in my TX, really doesn't make a huge difference.... especially with the map switch up on the handle bars

[@Scottstunts]

1020fender Beleive it or not Gharvis runs the green spring. I asked him personally.

[@bigospig]

Cody are you posting motorcycle videos just to gin up comments for another "reading mean comments" video? BRILLIANT!!! :)

[@stevehenkel354]

Definitely modern homesteading! :-) it's neat that you can use your DIY skills to make even a dirt bike run better.

[@supremeautomotive6749]

Love the video I do not know how anyone could not like this video. I don't understand why so many people hate on you? I got that Trail Boss AXE and I really like that also.

[@killianmclean9815]

I never knew how different riding a dirt bike was then riding a four wheeler. It’s a totally different animal. Thanks for sharing.

[@miketolpa4449]

Did you say you used......loctite?? LOL have a great night Cody. Was very happy to came home from a crappy shift and find a fresh vid.

[@MrLooking4laughs]

I have no interest in bikes. Still watched this though as your enthusiasm is contagious. Keep them coming.

[@lifeinthebackgarden3715]

Marc Williams snap same as me.The other stuff he does is great also

[@brapbrapmafucka]

How can ya not have any interest in bikes haha

[@snowpeaky]

Liking all the recent bike videos. I got my first bike last year - Suzuki DRZ400SM. Took the street tires off and put knobbies on. Blast to ride around! Can't wait for spring/summer trail rides...little snowy/icing up here in Canada :D

[@trailvet5957]

I've watching your channel for about a month now and I really like it. I really like your openness and authenticity. It's very refreshing. I also like your Christian perspective on things happening in the modern world and how you might respond to them. The te 300 is nice and I like your set up. I live in NorCal and have a te 250 with a similar setup, minus the handlebar mounted hand brake. The only thing I'm missing is a homestead, ha!

[@edvinlof6132]

Holy moly you are really making that enduro bike awesome! Getting jealous!

[@gearheadted5110]

Great bike, Cody. Looks to be a lot of fun. The new Husqvarna street bikes might be more my speed, for my older body. ha

[@mohsenkiae]

I love all the things you did to the bike ! Brilliant 🙌👏👏

[@rebelredRC]

I like how you primarily did prosthetic/protective modifications and what you needed to do to accompany your weight good on ya

[@gypsymanjeff2184]

Started watching u awhile back ..about bikes n riding ..then mostly life stuff gr8 to see back on track...

[@lancelandreneau4929]

Don't fret on people's negative comments. You are right. People don't know what they are talking about. Everyone has their own preference. Are you happy? Because that is what matters!

[@masonstansberry2625]

I would recommend watching the"cross training Enduro skills" channel, I'm always learning something new from them and the vids are great!

[@Jre-rb2ru]

Cody this is why I laughed when you said you would keep it stock. I don’t think anyone keeps a bike stock. There is one recommendation I have and that’s getting a tank bag to carry your gear instead of a back pack. My cousin got paralyzed from riding with a backpack on when it caught on a tree. But you do you and enjoy the riding I’ve been riding since I was 13 and it’s always fun

[@rob9346]

i love that you brought bike riding into the videos

[@stonewallpi1]

I'm not into motorcycle riding much.... but I enjoy seeing the modifications you made on your bike. Interesting to see how you can make your bike so much better! It almost seems like a stock bike is worthless! :) I guess that's typical of any vehicle or piece of machinery! Enjoy!

[@AardigGeflipt]

this is such a sick husky, greetings from the netherlands!

[@convex7456]

Once u got a two smoker. I liked ur channel even more 😁

[@tndeere]

Nice job got her looking trail ready.Your lucky to have someone with that much knowledge close by.I learned what works by the tried and true school of trial and error.Rode a 99 XR250 for about 10 years,then a YZ250 2 stroke and now a KX125.Just got a 94 KDX200 I'm doing a complete frame off build, engine, suspension and all.Hope it turns out good.The 125 is great for this 51 year old rider,but not much bottom end grunt, light and nimble though.

[@davidelizabeth4933]

Beautiful bike. We hope you enjoy it for many years to come.

[@aimremodellingaesthetics6423]

NASA called, they wanna know if you'll help them upgrade their space program. Wow, I'm really impressed. I guess i shouldn't expect anything less from Wranglerstar. This was very intertaining.

[@lancairw867]

Just bought a NOS KTM 2017 250 XCW. I added skid plate, same bark buster guards as yours, Ktmand Husky radiator guards and FMF 2.1 shorty. Having small Issues as well with adjusting the carb, much more I may go with the Electron. Had a Rekluse on my old bike and starting to miss it. Every thing else I replace when it breaks. No pipe guard until factory one gets damaged and then I have an excuse for buying a FMF Gnarly 😄.

[@Lesn-1]

So jealous of your set up! I grew up in the Pac NW and now live in Denver, switched backwards from you. But man I can't wait to have the time once the kids get a little bigger to hit up some mountain riding!

[@JerkRice]

Sounds like you're having a lot of fun with this bike, riding it and modifying it.

[@meme_enthusiast3021]

Ah yes, the FMF turbo core.. just kidding, cool tips and love the channel!

[@martinzorro640]

Me gusto bastante el montaje que realizaste en tu Husky. Felicitaciones 👍🏻 Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷

[@ianthjnadeau9497]

I'd maybe recommend 2 more alterations that I have done to all my woods bikes. Scott's steering damper and Evans waterless coolant. Both excellent upgrades. Nice bike. Love all your mods

[@767dag]

Do what ever works for you , you got someone with experience helping, enough said

[@coolnitrogut21]

That clear carb bowl is awesome looking.

[@lbeck119]

Hey bud that's awesome build.... I've got an 18 TX 300.... LOVE LOVE it... I would absolutely love information on that left hand brake setup you have.... Because the Husky went to Magura brake systems and recluse doesn't build a LHBR for them.... Just Brembo.... The way you have your bike setup is spot-on... Be safe out there

[@fullcirclepodcast87]

Another great video! Closing in on 1 MILLION SUBS!!!

[@GladiusJon]

You're 300 has come a long way VERY quickly, and Its got all The Right Parts if you ask me! ( Except for 10:20 😂 ) But, its you're bike what ever works for you is the important part. I did the TUbliss thing and it was a god send. But, I did have a problem with sealing. Im Doing Hare Scrambles this year an I figured Id try the bib mousse for a change. We shall see how it works out..

[@wranglerstar]

I've got 300 miles on the Tubliss with no issues. My brother in law rides thousands of miles a year and has never had a problem,

[@GladiusJon]

Right on, I ran them all of last year. Not sure how many miles or hrs it ended up being. The Traction from them Are Just out of this world!! On mine, The Inner Liner Stayed Intact through some 0 psi Rocks which was good. But I kept loosing pressure in the tire from bead sealing issues. I found the Inner liner rim lock had to be torqued just right. Any loosening or over tightening and It would deflate rapidly. The Main issue really was to no fault of the TUbliss system. My rims were not Trued on my previous bike. My way of thinking is The Bib might save me If im in the middle of a Hare Scramble and I bend a rim.

[@wednesdar452]

I keep telling him to look into the Clake instead of the Third-Hand setup. His buddy Bob probably could have schooled him up on carb tuning and saved him dropping the $$$ on the Lectron, but not a bad card played, since he didn't go the EFI route. Not sure where he gets his info on EFI issues, but kzbin.infovideos has been raving about the new bikes, especially for people who don't understand jetting :-)

[@wranglerstar]

The first thing Bob does on all his bikes is install an Electron. Many of these rave reviews get free bikes to demo and rarely bite the hand,

[@GladiusJon]

Wranglerstar I have a JD kit, and my budy is running the lectron. I ride these bikes back to back. Lectron is way better for sure, dont let anyone try an convince you otherwise 👍

[@bkrgi]

Nice Job in setting the bike up for woods riding. You have everything nicely covered and geared for YOU..well done...now get out there and get some more learnings/fun happening haha

[@brumageret]

Awesome video as usual, keep up the good work. I love how you don't shy away from the arm chair quarterback haters out there. God bless.

[@nickjennings3500]

I am not into bikes but really interesting video. I am loving the irony of the super trick optional extras & the hi tech bike stand in dark blue engineering polymer (plastic).

[@gabesmith654]

It's a shame that ppl have to make rude comments about how you set up your bike. It's a personal preference thing so I don't get why ppl have to be butts about it. Great vid thanks for sharing Cody. P.S. You might think about a pretty significant gift for Mrs. W after buying all those mods/toys lol if you haven't already haha God bless

[@jessew6437]

we got the fact you wont listen to comments your buddy knows it all ... that said people are talking about getting your hand/wrists caught up in the hand gaurds no smashed in between like if you got flipped over the bars and you let go and got hand shoved between guard and the bars could be a bad situation that has happened to experienced people and it fucked them up badly

[@wranglerstar]

Danger is my middle name,

Sounds like you have content for another "anger video". Your bike, your area and you riding it. Looks good and glad to hear you are enjoying it.

[@islandtsi]

Pro enduro racers don’t use a handlebar mounted rear brake because using the clutch is critical to technical riding. Auto clutches are garbage unless you have a disability that prevents you from using it.

Very nice bike cody!

[@Juergensry420]

I don't know about motorcycles but I used a Husqvarna weed whacker almost every day last summer working for the highway department and I don't think I ever had to pull twice to start . They start on the first pull every time. Also heard they make the best chainsaws on the market .

[@jarretbyrd1]

Great video & build.. Especially useful to see a fellow taller-than-average guy's setup instead of the usual lowering/shortening how-to's lol. Living in the PNW area I'll be utilizing alot of this advice on my future Husky 701 Enduro. Blessings - JB

[@Trad-Am]

Just don't remove the rear foot brake! Your riding a 701, so your probably not gonna be on real gnarly single track, but keep this in mind, when you only have a left hand rear brake, you can't cover the clutch, and rear brake at the same time!

[@Pyrrhic_au]

Hey Cody, it wasn’t the bark busters crushing onto your hand that is the issue; it is that your hand gets trapped when the bar gets forced towards you (and the other end away) or when you go over the bars forward. Either way nice set up I’m sure you’re going to enjoy.

[@mikeboone4425]

You are to be commended in the way you just shut down the no it all's, who have probably no graduated from the tricks as yet . Happy Trails

[@olekaw8765]

whats up cody , hope all is well. im a new subscriber and love your videos , keep them coming please!!

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

Hi Cody, I am not into bikes and do not know much or even anything about them, But even I can see that the "out of the box" bike cannot work for everyone. As humans we come in a wide range of sizes and shapes so it is obvious that some alterations will need to be made before the bike is ready for use. I think that the people how tell you that you are wrong don't know what they are talking about because they only have their perspective of what needs to be done and this can vary so much, as I said I don't do bikes but I still enjoy info from people and can accept that I don't know everything. Keep on riding and be safe.

[@gabewhisen3446]

Love the foot pegs radiator guard fan ,hand guards n brake great mods, the only thing is I like to run the clutch n brake opposite but I don't have an auto clutch

[@Trad-Am]

I really don't wanna see ya get hurt, not covering that clutch, and not having that rear foot brake. You can't cover the clutch, and the hand brake at the same time, and that's just asking for a whiskey throttle accident, especially being new. Keep your hand brake, put the foot brake back on, and put the stock clutch back in, or run the rekluse manual. That 300 will get better traction, and control with good clutch technique than that auto ever will. The rekluse on the big 4 stroke's, is kinda ok just because they stall so easy, but hate the heavy pull, feel, and control on my Husaberg Fe501 rekluse core exp 3.0. 2 strokes just don't need em, they almost never stall.

[@cedricboivin9422]

I agree, the clutch is the best protection against whiskey throttle. One little pull and you're back in action.

[@MrBlazerman72]

Thats a sweet looking ride! I had a feeling you would trick it out.

[@dirtsquadatv2714]

Electrons are the bomb As soon as you were showing your sprocket I noticed it. Nice bike man

[@HeartlandMakesAndOutdoors]

As Always.. a great video!!! Thank you so much for sharing with everyone. We agree with the importance of “good mobility” on the homestead. We have a four wheeler that we use on our off grid property that is half work horse half play toy... Ha!! Thanks again for your amazing videos. Have a Blessed Week!!

[@troybryant2117]

Love the video. Great info. Wondering what left hand rear brake you are using. Cheers

[@fouledout443]

Awesome bike man! Check out the acerbis engine side cover protectors and the plastic covers for the swingarm, neither are very expensive.

[@jeremysmith7450]

Nice review, I own a 2019 TPI and it actually works very well. I put a skid plate and put Evans coolent in it, and that is the only mods so far. I also own a 350sx and a 125sx, and both bikes have mods that really help on the trail. The best mod I seen in your video was a spark arrester, its much needed to be legal on public ground.

[@johnpoc6594]

Can't wait for the test videos! Would like to try dirt biking some time, I drive a street bike

[@christiansander6463]

Great setup Codi. Also, nice divers watch! You should do an EDC update.

[@thegoodshow6456]

Nice job I think I am going to get some of these parts. If you are going to be dropping your bike a lot you should put pro tapper flex bars on it

[@rorschach4089]

You're a beginner yet you went out of way and spent at least a couple grand on upgrades. Proper technique is far more important than any of that stuff. Its yours do with it as you please. I've been riding since I was 6 that's 20 years eve learned a lot along the way and one thing I learned is technique is king.

[@cmennare]

I like the changes that you have made. For all the haters out there, remember it is Cody's property and he can do whatever he wants to it. Do you still have the BSA?

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

What kind of winter you having out there? Here in the East we went from brutal cold and snow to rain and slop so far.

[@Pockits]

Outdoors With The Morgans in Massachusetts it's going to be 70 on Wednesday! It was cold in early January but now it's like spring!

[@trailvet5957]

Same here. Two great channels. Mike, when are you going to get a dirt bike? Ha-ha!

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

I think I will stick to the side x side lol, plus you can't haul firewood on a dirt bike!

[@trailvet5957]

No, but you can haul the mail. Ha-ha.

[@consaka1]

This winter has been really mild compared to last year. Cody is at a higher elevation and bit farther east from me but its been relatively mild for him too. Not a lot of snow and a few days pretty cold but days of relative warmth and lots of rain too. Right now we are having a week of warm days cold nights. 2 inches of snow yesterday and then a few more inches tomorrow night. Here in Vancouver it will melt off pretty quick but farther east it will hang around a while longer.

[@MrTimdtoolman1]

Nice bike Man, that's going to be a pleasure to ride.

[@cedricboivin9422]

When you said that you knew a man that know everything, I rolled my eyes thinking "Yeah right, everybody does" but after seeing the results I can say that he his a wise man. I would not want a rear hand brake probably for the same reason that the pro don't use them. Better clutch control. However, if you like it keep it. Really nice handguard setup, I have taught of doing it like this before but I never saw it. My only concern is that chain. I hope that you did make it tighter. I know the video is 3 years old but if somebody see this, relax with the wheelbase story and keep a good chain slack because that is way too much. On a bike with no chain guide, you won't do a mile before it jump off the sprocket.

[@sid7236]

The only reason I wouldn't put a rear break up front is due to the necessary grip when doing wheelies, and full control with the right foot

[@biscuitsRgood]

It's very nice of you to fix this bike up for me

[@chrisspence3216]

I think ya need a BRP steering stabilizer I ride the mountains also and love it and have similar bark busters and love them . I Dunno about that brake there but it’s personal choice ! Pros use works parts not true on factory they use whatever they want to win !! Anyways cool Set up I still think a 4 stroke is better in the mountains but it’s personal preference also . Just stoked you ride pretty cool !! Enjoy and ride that thing like ya stole it !!! Braaap!!! Or Zing !!! For you

[@Zarnowski_Sculpture]

nice upgrades. only thing i would do is having the front lever for the rear break under the bar so you can use your thumb breaking and use the clutch at the same time. this is how some guys in roadracing dooing it. i did it on my old husqvarna supermoto when racing. would be worried under stress graping the worng lever . but thats just me. greatings from germany. have fund riding

[@prdoohan]

SavageForged Minis Road racing is a different kettle of fish. A thumb brake is going to be difficult to use in the gnarly stuff off road. Great for road racing though.

[@NH-Bill]

Nice set up! About how much do you have in the mods?
