Another fun vid Dodger! I'm coming up on 4 years on my 2018 Versys X300 and still love it. After the upgrades for my 6' 3" frame and luggage, skid plate & crash bars, this is the perfect mini-ADV bike. Kawi hit a home run with this bike. Great commuter and after adding Mitas E07s I've done some pretty sketchy Jeep trails in SW Colorado. Within it's design parameters, I don't think there's a better bike. Reliable, handling is great and mileage is quite good! Thanks again!!!

[@Frip36]

How do you mean you upgraded it for your 6.3 frame? You made it so you could extend your legs more? How? Thanks

[@GeezerWheels]

@@Frip36 Yes, for my legs and back! I'm 75 now and had back surgery a few years ago, so bike ergonomics are a must for me these days. My mods: 1. I installed 2" ROX PIVOTNG bar risers (just barely enough length in the control cables, but it works); 2. I lowered the foot pegs one inch (I forget the brand, maybe Motech?); 3. I raised the seat by simple putting on a layer of closed cell foam then covering that with a Mad Dog brand ATV seat pad, then adding a Sit-n-Fly brand seat cover over the whole thing, (also added a Sit-n-Fly to my Vstrom 650XT); That may not seem like a lot, but I stand fairly often for back relief, even if only a minute or two - but these mods made a huge difference in comfort. With lowered pegs and raised bars (up and back a bit) I don't have to lean over when I stand up (34" inseam). Makes a HUGE difference when standing - make the bike fit me like I were under 6' tall. One a trip from CO to Utah, I was way more comfortable. NOTE: the seat of the X300 sort of pushes you forward toward the tank, so I put thicker foam at the very front of the seat - helps some, need to do more... or shave off foam right behind my own rear end. Take care!

[@GeezerWheels]

ONE MORE THING: I added much wider foot pegs - give me much better stability when standing than the narrow factory foot pegs. The ones I bought simple replace the rubber insert. "Good riding!"

[@Frip36]

@@GeezerWheelsThanks for that comprehensive breakdown. My legs get painfully cramped easily. Will save your methods. Cheers.

[@GeezerWheels]

@@Frip36 Your're very welcome! I love this bike and love to see others get set up for comfort and handling. I own a dirt bike (Husaberg FE390, now street legal), and a Suzuki Vstrom 650XT (great bike), but I still ride the X300 as often as any other. Light, easy to handle, great for mild off road/ forest service roads, etc. and I even rode the X300 on the TransAmerica Trail section from Silverton, CO to Moab, UT, and some milder off road trails near Moab. BTW, I also run Mitas E07+ tires. Excellent on and off road. BTW, what part of the country do you live in? (I'm in the hills near Durango, CO at 7550 ft elevation - 5 miles from the nearest pavement.) - GeezerWheels

How good is that lightweight Versys up that sloshy climb. Brilliant!

[@mrtpr9727]

Wow that was slippery Mate. Good job ! 😃

[@joecamel6835]

I got scared !

[@graymangw6016]

Awesome ride and always good to see the X300 getting things done.

[@bradaltemeyer4472]

looks good,, so far I've kept my versys x300 on pavement, but I'm only just past 700 miles or so for now.

[@CoolRiderMx]

God bless you, man

[@Tonesaway]

Nice day ride, Dodger!

[@emeraldspartan1135]

What a ride and well done! Not only with the hill but that side slope at the top!

[@WillieJohnRidesAgain]

Great seeing that Versys keep up! Taking mine out in the a.m.! Good vid, Dodge!!

[@blairguinea6811]

Great vid Dodger, thank and yes getting a versys x 300 in a couple of weeks, subscribed and thumbs up

[@DodgerMohr]

Thanks 🙏 Great little motorcycle, excellent all purpose bike. Enjoy!

[@dynamadnessadventures205]

Great video dodger I will have to take the beast up that way ride safe

[@georgeburton339]

Good on ya Dodger, Well Done.

[@chrisdeuel4966]

The Versys seems more capital than the other bikes

[@johannjacobs9437]

The Versys 400 will be a bomber, wake up Kawasaki.

[@tautvydas.slevas]

Looks like a great bike. Is it the original exhaust? :)

[@DodgerMohr]

Yeah it is a great light lite weight touring bike, quite capable on dirt but yet not a dirt bike. I did put an after market slip on pipe, but found it too load on my long distance adventures. Thanks

[@andrewtreloar7389]

What tyres were you running Dodger? And great to see the little Versys hold its own against the bigger, 'more capable' bikes

[@DodgerMohr]

Shinko

[@elpattounaaventuraenmoto736]

Long time no see you body. Ride on!

[@inbredsuicide]

Read the owners manual and it says not for off road use lol

[@paulghrl]

What exhaust do you have? It definitely sounds better than the stock one.

[@DodgerMohr]

I put a Delcavic slip on but found it a bit loud on long trips, around town ideal.

[@andrade9ma]

please, send me the link the guardhand?

[@DodgerMohr]

The hand guards brand is Barkbusters and can be purchased at most Motorcycle accessories shop.
