Haha that is the truth, Im sure more are on their way.

[@mosheasaf677]

I have one, just the worst motorcycle I've had, heavy, weak and noisy engine, and the suspensions are just a joke

[@jamesdyer744]

A tip to change the sprockets and save some cash and achieve the same result of 49 tooth. Go down one tooth on drive sprocket then go up to a 44 tooth on back wheel. Doing this you can keep factory chain. In the end you save 80 bucks. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@jamesdyer744]

You are correct.

[@justinpoore2938]

I could get on the internet a find one no problem. Some near me others just outta state. I dont see that same shortage of 300l or used 250l

[@t_c5266]

another upgrade a lot dont think about: rear brake master cylinder cover I saw it in another video, but that thing is definitely in danger. Having a plate to cover it is essential for offroad

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

Yea I can see that I never really run into an issue like that, and my terrain isnt too rocky. But I have thought about 3d printing one.

[@johnnyrebellion8672]

I was going to get the Honda or Kawi 300. The 300L is a real beauty!! I couldn't wait any longer so I bought the bike I wanted in my 30's This old guy went with a all original 96 DR350SE with 1,800 miles and 25 year old tires. I've done all the same mods including the stainless brake lines and put on pivot pegz. Bike is going to a local shop next week to get the Race Tech suspension upgrade. It'll be $1000.00. With that kinda money invested it will be a keeper. I would love to ride with and compare with new 300's once they actually come out in my area.

[@treggorringe2970]

I've got a 95 DR350SE I've rode a lot of my buddies newer bikes... always come back to her. She's the original do-it-all Dual Sport

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

It was my old fav bike as well. But I feel now the 300L takes that place. I also have a T7 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpvEgmp6nNWJotE

I forgot how much fun it can be. I want to get 300L. Well my friends think I’m crazy at 72. Hopefully I can find some old farts to ride with. Andrew keep up with videos, great content.

[@michaelanderson3771]

Andrew if you have not already done so the CB 300 front venturi mod and side air cover with frog skin vent and a unifilter with snorkel mod and pre filters you could also get the upgrade CB 300 cams as that will lift HP and overall rev range enhancement

[@marcochavane3124]

If I may make a recommendation is using the Pirelli MT21 front and Dunlop 606 rear. I put over 20k on that combo on my WR250R and found it to be the best of both worlds.

[@nathanchambers7771]

Because of this video I bought my 2024 300 CFRL today❤ ... I have searched high and low but I can't seem to find the link for where you found those Rim stickers

[@jaynelson5793]

I have a solution to your missing chain guide. Get one off of a 2004 CRF150R. You might have to deepen the notch for the sprocket with a saw a little, but it works on my 250L with a 48T. It's supposed to be good up to a 50T.

[@kush_lord4000]

Thanks for the info bro . Can’t wait to get my own crf300L

Hope they’ll release some more tank options soon. Eyeballing the 300l as a daily rider but the stock tank seems small for my commute. Your Honda looks amazing btw!

Hey mate, what Rear sprocket are you using and what bike is it off? I'm struggling to find anything aluminium for the 300L and I'm not sure what other options fit 😅 Cheers!

[@LuckyNikitaBoba]

By going up to 49 tooth, how many additional links are needed? It would greatly help if you could provide links and more info for each mod. For example, the link to the Amazon tail tidy. You're my type of rider so I will follow this channel very closely. Now, all I need is a Honda 300L.

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

Generally a link on a YT channel is really bad for growth. KZbin considers it bad because you are directing people off the platform. I dont remember how many links, I will have to count since I just just the chain to the correct size.

[@ColtWorks100]

Where'd you get the wheel stickers? I don't see them in your Amazon store

[@cantley47]

Great video! Just wondering, did you have the cut your clutch lever to make it fit with the Acerbis handguards? Also, it seems like the grip for the throttle is a bit too short!? Thanks!

[@spiffcats]

I actually don't mind the tire offroad. That being said all my offroad experience over the past 10 years has been on dual sport tires, so I am used to feeling the bike slipping around. Also there is something nice about cracking the throttle on a corner and letting back end swing around

[@giovannicarnovale6275]

Great video, thanks for sharing! I am about to buy the CRF300 rally and I am checking already the mods.. One question: to install the acerbis handguards on the protaper bar, did you need any adapter ? Sometimes the external screws (near the grips) need adapters to fit the proper diameter of the handlebar. Any info here? Thanks!

I went to the Honda site and used their dealer locator. I ended up finding a very small dealer in NY state that only sold Honda’s. It didn’t come up in any other searches I did. They had one in stock. And also a 110 for my daughter! Their showroom was almost completely empty.

[@billcotton1551]

Your bike looks great with the upgrades.

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

Thank you.

[@mikem9953]

Hi. I had a new WR250r back in 08 and had to sell it. I rode the neighbors 250L on road once and i felt it wasn't near as fast as my WR which I felt was barely enough power, like barely wheelie in 2nd gear, so my question is, is the 300L noticably faster then the 250L? I would definitely re gear it the same way you went. And is the stock suspension adequate for a 185 pound out of shape, washed up rider for fire lanes, sandy trails and gravel roads? That unfortunately means lack of jumps, just typical northern Wisconsin fire lanes and trails. No highways where I live, speed limits are mostly 45 mph (as far as gearing) Sorry this is so long, but the way you have your bike set up is perfect and I would copy it to a T.

[@mylifeinthailand8751]

Again in Thailand the Ohlins suspension upgrade is available at approximately £600

[@davidbrochu5923]

Hi Andrew, nice mods.. did you forget to put on the link or is it just me not seing it? Just received mine and looking forward to tire. Sprocket. Skid plate and lugage upgrades.

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

Yeah so youtube tracks how long people keep a viewer engaged and if they click off they hate it. Its a stop view or something like that, bigger channels can get away with it more. But the people who do redirect you usually do it because they are willing to take the analytics hit in exchange for the small kickback money wise.

[@hideawayoutdoors611]

very nice looking bike.. IM 235 lb.s and havng trouble deciding on THIS ONE or TW200.. Im also 54 and my days of having fast fun has lowered to a putt pu slow n enjoy. 90% off road 10% highway. im leaning towards the TW and spending what need be to get er a little more power. i noticed you said you have a TW. YOUR THOUGHTS PLEASE

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

So the tw200 is a completely different bike. Its almost not a dual sport at all but a farm bike with big balloon tires. Most of the time people gravitate to the TW because they are short and like a low seat height. I dont know how tall you are but I would suggest the XT250 over the TW if you are short, it is a more capable dual sport. If you are 5'10" or taller, I would go for the CRF300L or the KLX300 with the 35" seat height.

[@silversurfer4326]

I Like the handle bar foam as Well 👍

[@williamclendenin4356]

fantastic video, thanks

[@kevinnielsen6167]

Like the mods! Doing some similar things to our 300 - can't find that sprocket - can you give a link?

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

Many of the sprockets are the same bolt pattern from honda. You just have to match the pattern however the other bikes use bolts that have a tapered head where as the stock honda bolts have a flat head. So just make sure you get the right bolts as well.

[@telefunkenyou47]

I was thinking about dropping a tooth or two in the rear sprocket to try to get first gear into play. On the street, first gear is worthless. It would be nice to get more use out of first gear and a higher cruising top speed in sixth.

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

I would suggest adding one tooth to the front and a ecu flash. These 2 things make the bike so much better for road use.

[@MrMakasteven]

[@timgoeb72]

Hey man careful with that front brake line I know it's in the way I hate it on mine aswell but cable tieing it like that to the bar can get dangerous as that line travels up and down with the suspension

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

No you are right I have it in a really good position now. I trained it to go there. It has no restrictions on it at all now but still sits low enough for me to see everything. But yeah you are absolutely correct about that.

[@TheBlackT7]

Hi man did you buy the protaper mount for the handlebar? Or just use the oem one?

[@JaDem148]

Do you think the stock suspension is sufficient off road for a 150lb experienced rider?

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

Yes, I think around 185lbs as long as you adjust the preload. For 150lb rider you would probably need little to no adjustment depending on gear.

[@martinkaspar2272]

[@Bolensgoldrush]

I thought the Acerbis hand guards didnt fit with the stock levers? How did you get them to fit?

[@2012theraven]

thinking of adding a 45t rear sprocket. and a xring chain. did you have any problems with your chain hitting the case on the counter shaft sprocket? i know they sell a spacer if it did. Thanks great channel.

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

No problems at all near the coutershaft. The only issue I ran into, and this will probably not be a problem for you at 45t, is I couldn't install the chain guide on the bottom of the sprocket. The sprocket is just too large for it to fit. After I get an exhaust, a new mapping, and intake I will probably go to a 45t. Let me know how it works out for you.

[@2012theraven]

i ended up going with a 13t front sprocket. might do a 42 rear. but the 13t really makes the bike handle better on slower technical stuff. i have a speedo corrector on order to correct my speedometer.

[@2012theraven]

i added a motox exhaust and mega bomb header from biker bitz. added the 91 octane ecu mapping from 550perfornance. this really woke the bike up more. the only airbox mod i did was remove the backfire screen on the air filter. this and the 13t front sprocket, skid plate, hand guards and the tusk dual sport tires really make the bike better for my riding.

[@noahjoseph9633]

I want to get a dual sport bike as my first bike, my problem is most bikes I see and want, people say its not that good if you are over 200 to 220lbs. My problem is I cant get below 240lbs because of my physical size beings pretty large, I am 6'2 or 187cm and when i am 240lbs or 108kg i am fairly lean. will i need a stronger bike or would I HAVE to upgrade the suspension?

[@mylifeinthailand8751]

I have a question for you Andrew. The CRF300L sold in Thailand differs from the U.S./Aussie/U.K. model in two ways, the Ground Clearance on the Thai bike is 244mm vs 285mm everywhere else and the Seat Height is 830mm vs 885mm elsewhere. What do you think Honda Thailand did to make these changes? To me I think it’s all about the ground clearance, I wonder if the dropped the frame on the suspension. I would love to buy this bike but I need to be able to increase the ground clearance. Everything else is the same accept the headlight which is the same type as on the 450L

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

CONTINENTAL TKC 80s are a good on and offroad to a point, they are more a 50/50 overall. Another option is If you want good tires offroad that will still last 2000+ miles on road try Dunlop D606 rear and pirelli mt16 front. I have like 1000 miles on my pirelli and they basically still look new.

@@MotorcyclesOffroad thanks man, I appreciate it. I just clocked over 350 miles on her and I'm excited for more. New shoes is a must.

if you restrain the top of the front brake cable....isn't that gonna damage something over time?

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

It could yes, I didn't do it long. Now the cable is free and trained to lay back near the bars.

So on eBay the wheel decals I found say they won't fit the 300L. but if it says 18/21" wouldn't it fit?

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

Idk exactly what ones you are looking at but I simply bought a 18"21" set.

[@FAFO_24]

@@MotorcyclesOffroad It says they fit the 230 and 250 but when I type in the 300L it says will not fit. I'm guessing it will tho

[@FrancophotoOG]

how did you come up with 30 horsepower from 10% of stock ? wouldnt that be 2.7hp?

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

Honda 300L Horsepower (claimed):27.0 hp at 8500 rpm so 10% would be 29.7hp.

[@wallman65]

how do you determine how long the chain needs to be if you go to a 48 tooth rear sprocket?

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

There is calculators online but I just buy the a bigger size, usually 120links and cut it to fit.
