2020 KLX300R Oil Change

[@TopshelfJunior]

Got this bike as well, absolutely LOVE IT !!! My first dirtbike ever. Just bought my first streetbike ever too lol, SV650.

[@TopshelfJunior]

Your video was informative and was quality too ! Keep going man, we appreciate it !

[@TopshelfJunior]

Update: the pipe on mine is sort of blue........ random.

[@501speedinc5]

That’s the natural color change with heat from the exhaust! Hope you’re enjoying the bike!

[@chood6618]

Hey man I just got me a 2021 klx300r! However this year they recommend changing at 2.5 hours initially and then I will change it at 4 hours and then at 10 hours. Your video was great help thank you so much!!! Keep them coming!

[@501speedinc5]

Glad I changed mine early then! Thanks man, I’m happy to help!

[@brandonbdl]

Using the grease isn't bad at all for the motor?

[@Backyard_KLX]

Very helpful thanks, I just picked up a 2025 300r yesterday, the owners manual says to do first oil change after 1 hour! I was skeptical of the grease trick with the filter spring but it’s in the book too! Thanks again it helped very straightforward.

[@teemigo6921]

Same here. Did you get green or gray?

[@Backyard_KLX]

@ battle gray👽 what did you get?

[@GrotrianSeiler]

Excellent video. No surprises. Thanks

[@bradleyernst3220]

Thanks so much man I got one not to long ago and before I start doing to much I wanted to clean it up a bit

[@richiepickett9416]

Great video! I am running some Royal purple with the canon filter as well - great choice on those quality products

[@allans7281]

Great video kind of surprising that Kawi cant design the spring to attch. Should we upgrade to a magnetic drain plug?

[@Mike-uh2gw]

Buy some small neodymium magnets and put one on the bolt after you torque it down. I put them on every piece of equipment I own. Every regular oil filter gets them too including my other bikes, cars, tractors lawnmowers etc.

[@ThomperBeThompin]

Great video, that window is great to have. My crf250f doesn't have one, gotta use the ol dip stick.

[@uncleremus5046]

TY for this!

[@user-vb9kd3lg1s]

Did you add anymore oil after you saw the window was empty or did standing it up right solve the issue

[@likebutton3136]

Lmao I died at the exhaust burn I knew exactly what it was.

[@DisplaysDisplays]

After the break in oil changes, how often should oil be changed? P.s. thanks for making the video

[@cleverman86]

10hrs seems to be ideal on mine.

[@themiupeksha9574]

Is it the same sizes and oil for KLX300R 2020 year ?

[@sloth_zone433]

My man!

[@jonathanramage2701]

New to small engines, What kind of grease should be used, the manual is pretty vague. Auto zone has bearing grease, would this be sufficient?

[@501speedinc5]

Yep! Anything that's relatively thick will work fine. You won't need to use much of it

[@justinarguello5674]

Would Vaseline work

[@olaplug1632]

Great vid just starting out

[@ruzzlemunoz1223]

How many quarts of engine oil when we make change oil time

[@501speedinc5]

1-1.3 quarts

[@devinbrunson4871]

So I have a question I am used to two stoke bikes and this is my first four stroke bike. And I know this sounds pretty bad but I forgot that it needs oil changes and I waited tell about 8 hours to do an oil change and I have owed it for about a year. The level on it is on the lowest level. But there is still some oil in it. Do you think that my bike is going to be completely messed up

[@aaronlook3550]

No but you really should have changed it after an hour or two of use. Make sure you replace it with a good quality oil and filter ASAP.

[@501speedinc5]

Your bike will be fine bud. Stay on top of those oil changes though

[@ryan_rupe]

Do I need that specific replacement filter?

[@tachiera]

i filled it with 1.8 quarts idk if it’s ok for the bike

[@ExploringCabinsandMines]

It takes 6 quarts , heat the oil till its boiling then add to engine.

[@aaronlook3550]

defs not lmfao

[@aaronlook3550]

[@Necro-the-Pyro]

The spring is stupid. They couldn't have drilled a little hole and bent the end of the spring 90 degrees so you could stick it in the block and have it hang in place?

[@RedboneUnincorporated]

Did you also change the oil in the shock and forks,(the book indicates we should) after the break in period?

[@501speedinc5]

Negative. I'll probably run a thicker fork oil soon. I'm 50+ hours in on this bike

[@RedboneUnincorporated]

@@501speedinc5 I had an issue that had to be taken care of at the dealership under warranty shortly after this comment, directly after I bought the bike, and I asked them about the oil change and they laughed at me. I don't have an hour counter, but I must have close to 100 hours by now, and I've done nothing for the suspension other than stiffen the front.

[@kolbygrooms7115]

My bike will not start and I just got it

[@GangmasMoto]

Howdy 501!

[@johntabor2619]

I thought it was at 600 miles for the first oil change not hours?

[@GraySpoonJeeper]

The R model only has an hour meter, no odometer.

[@booom3603]

Any good mods out for this model? Tuner, muffler?

[@xenomorph7299]

just fart in the tank for a stinky poo

[@501speedinc5]

Pro circuit exhaust and the power commander made a HUGE difference

[@TAllyn-qr3io]

Rubber glove 🤘

[@fattie2550]

Do you know how often you have to replace the top end? im looking for a new bike but do not want the maintenance to go with it.

[@501speedinc5]

Not sure on service intervals that far out honestly

[@TopshelfJunior]

ANYBODY KNOW WHERE TO GET DECAL STICKERS FOR THIS BIKE ?! MAN ITS SO DIFFICULT LOL..

[@chood6618]

It is tough to find since it has a newer model to find exact fit graphics, my dealer is looking into it and there is a Custom Graphics Company that you can order from. I've heard KX250 graphics we'll fit almost perfect but I really don't know. Check moto sport..

[@TopshelfJunior]

@@chood6618 found it !!! Bikegraphix dot com !!!

[@501speedinc5]

@@TopshelfJunior good looking out. I wanted to know the same thing!

[@TopshelfJunior]

@@501speedinc5 yeah, when you go on there.. I think it makes you put in a 450.. but the site + the company knows its for the KLX300R when you click it.. And on checkout in the memo / reciept itll say for the KLX 300, and then they go and make em specific for that bike. I got mine in the mail and it was exact. Perfect fit.

[@johntabor2619]

I’m at about 160 miles rn

[@daviddougher8637]

I just bought this piece of junk///2022 model went from showroom floor to storage and its going to rot there////maintenance on this thing is ridiculous and I don't want any part of it

[@jeffgos9061]

You barely have to do maintenance lol. Try getting a race bike and you’ll see what maintenance is😂

[@apotwin]

😂 what? There’s barely any maintenance at all. That is the big attraction to this bike. It’s cheap, low maintenance and will last forever.

[@Backyard_KLX]

If you don’t want maintenance go electric I’m sure there’s some to that too
