Honda CRF300L:
Balance is the key when riding any motorcycle. And we’re not talking about just balancing on two wheels: We’re talking about the balance between size, weight, power and handling that makes some bikes great-like the new Honda CRF300L. Based on our previous CRF250L, for 2021, it gets a larger engine with more torque and a whole host of chassis and suspension refinements. What you end up with is one of the best-balanced bikes ever for on- and off-road use. Perfect for weekend trail rides, it’s also among the best choices ever for commuting or urban transportation. And if you’re looking for a version with a windscreen and Dakar-inspired bodywork for a little more weather protection, make sure you check out our new CRF300L Rally.
Hello my name is Andrew, My family and I love powersports. Just something about the feel of freedom and power you get from a bike or ATV. On this channel you will find content for the Honda 300L as well as our journey we take together in the world of power sports.

Thanks!

[@888jimmy]

G'day mate. Currently have a TRK502X. Very nice on & off but just too top heavy riding more than forest roads. Just haven't really gelled with the bike. Anyway opportunity came up to grab a CRF300 Rally with only 1400kms on the clock with heavier suspension for 80kg+ riders. So I grabbed it. I have also ordered DNA high flow air filter and 550 ECU with stock 91 tune. Fingers crossed and based on your reviews this may be the bike I have been looking for.... I use to have a CRF250L and really enjoyed that bike.

[@justking.4050]

great video brother! I didn't get a CEL for even a second🤔

[@simonbravo2825]

@MotorcyclesOffroad Thanks so much for your content. Q1) Is the RS-4 exhaust much louder than stock? Q2) Did you leave the spark arrestor in? Q3) Do the 550 needs a different tune for with and without the spark arrestor?

[@RedC63AMG]

I sent in the ECU ‘s for both of mine and it was $125 each. I did the Rally first so I could roll race against the 300L. The 550 tune walked the stock with equal rider/bike weights every time. For some reason the 550 tune on my standard 300 is even more pronounced than the Rally’s Definitely money well spent!

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

The ECU made a huge difference on my bike as well.

[@airadaimagery692]

Did you modify the exhaust on the Rally? Do I need to modify the exhaust on my Rally to get noticeable results if I intend to do this ECU modification? Where in the acceleration did you find most of the improvement ? Thanks for the help!

[@thepessimisticoptimist9375]

​@@airadaimagery692 I just received mine the other day. I have a fully stock bike so.i choose stock 91 octane huge difference. I'll do mods eventually but even with out the bike runs better everywhere

[@byle931]

Does it take much more fuel alter modification?

[@salazam]

@@byle931 This is what I'd like to know that none of these stupid motovloggers have answered. Obviously it makes the bike run richer, but I'm sure we'd all like to know how that affects the mpg.

[@thepessimisticoptimist9375]

And I just received my 550 ECU... if moto off road hasn't convinced you? The bike gets better everywhere. Jerky in low gears gone. I'm in love with this bike all over again. 😍 do it!

[@phantomshtter]

That's exactly what I wanted to hear! This bike's factory tune is horrible! I can't even hardly ride it in 1st it's got such jerky throttle stuttering, surging and stammering. Buying this 1st thing Monday.

[@FAFO_24]

I have the Yoshi RS-4 installed and sending in my ECU tomorrow. I have blue pro taper high bend bars, red pro grips, and White and blue Acerbis hand guards. This week I should be getting in the mail blue clutch and brake levers, blue frame guards, Tusk gear shifter, and blue and white rim stickers. I also have the red white and blue Pro Taper bar cushion. I think the color scheme is going to look sick. The red white and blue Veteran license plate just adds to the color scheme.

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

I think your bike is going to look awesome!

[@TylerMcCool]

Love your content and casual demeanor, much appreciated. This ECU flash must really work because they are SOLD OUT unless you mail yours in... damn, don't wanna send the ECU out on a brand new bike right when I get it..

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

Yes that does suck, Did you get the bike yet? Also it is a huge upgrade, so maybe wait until the first break in oil chain so you can enjoy the bike and send it in after. Message maverick on FB and tell him you came from my video and ask if you can expedite the shipping for extra cost. This way you may only be down for 5days to a week. He is a very approachable reasonable person Im sure he will work with you if it is possible to make it quicker.

[@TylerMcCool]

@@MotorcyclesOffroad Thanks for the reply, much appreciated! I did not get the bike yet, I am waiting for its supposed "end of April" delivery.. I got lucky landing one by putting a deposit down 3 weeks ago and amazingly first on the waiting list... first dual sport type bike so a change of pace from the circuits / roads I'm used to.

[@TylerMcCool]

@@MotorcyclesOffroad Also a question... what happens if you are in a remote area that doesn't have 91 octane.. have you asked Maverick about that potential scenario?

[@TheZakkmylde]

Did you ever feel the need that you had to add a heat shield on the muffler end or along the motor portion with a yoshi? I got this exhaust coming but I’m not sure if I should sauce out of heat shield or not!

[@bzrider29]

The tune ( stage one ) works great on a stock bike. No pipe no air mods. If you do those it amplifies it even more

[@TheZakkmylde]

Ya? You sure? I have the tune sitting in toolbox for month now cause waiting for yoshi to be delivered from back order and didn’t wanna just put the 91 octane tune in without the exhaust cause I was under assumption would Not run properly

[@calvinismistrue]

Thinking about it.

[@mt1885]

Hi does your electric FAN come on more often with the 550 ECU 91 Tune on your 300L ?

[@dualsportedc]

I'd like to see a 300L Rally have DRZ/KLR type power and suspension that can actually handle rally type riding

[@CyberGasty]

Just a note for Europeans who watch this vid. It is not possible with European ECU, it works only with Thai and US (they are almost identical) , smaller in size and connection is different.

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

Wow ok, I was not aware thanks so much for the information.

[@fionnoc]

Is there any option to change the ECU or is it impossible with the different connections.

[@CyberGasty]

@@fionnoc I suggest to check CRF forums. Maybe someone did it but you need some knowledge or guidance to do it. Don't know about the cost though and is it worth value for money.

[@fionnoc]

@@CyberGasty yeah I'm not sure it would be but maybe with a full exhaust system. Thanks for the info man!

[@damacknificent151]

Did it hurt your mpg Range ? Have you tested this? I ride my bike to areas I like to ride off road. Thanks

[@MotoVania]

Great video, so with these changes do you think it changes service intervals? If so, how often would you do an oil change with your setup?

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

That is a good question. The bike calls for 8,000 mile oil change and 16000 mile filter/oil. I change mine once a year anyway 1000-1500 miles. But it could definitely lower time frame or service by adding more performance.

[@e.l.9589]

I change my oil when the shifting isn't smoothly engaged, which is around 5k miles.

[@Mickey-hr2ju]

Hi Andrew, great videos, very direct and to the point. I’ve now subscribed rather than just be a watcher. Hope it helps you out. Question? You’ve changed the air filter to a DNA. Is it a worthwhile mod? They’re fairly pricey where I come from and nobody else seems to make an aftermarket one. Thanks

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

Firstly thank you for the support and subbing. As far as the air filter it is pricey I would do other mods first, it was one of my last/most recent mods. For me tho I needed to run a new filter to match my ECU tune for the Exhaust, intake, and 91octane. I think the biggest upgrades in order are probably: 1 Tires and offroad tubes 2 rear sprocket and chain (most tires will de-gear your bike because they are taller) 3. ECU mod for at least 91 octane ( I did a whole video on it) Now when you look into an ECU mod you might want to an air filter at that time maybe even an exhaust but just the stage one mod alone will be a huge difference.

[@salazam]

@@MotorcyclesOffroad Or you know, just buy a faster bike like the 450RL or a KTM.

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

@@salazam Why would I want that?! I dont like changing oil every 800 miles, so nah im good.

A commenter Cyber Gasty pointed out US and thai ECUs are different form European ECUs, so you will have to reach out the 550 to see if they have exactly what you need. 2.) it seems 550Performance has updated/changed pricing. I do not yet have the confirmed pricing, I will update you guys when I the new information. I also wanted to include a copy/paste of my conversation with 550performance below. I wanted to be clear and transparent where I came up with my idea of the pricing named in the video. "550Performance: We do also offer core ecu’s as they are in stock. This helps speed up the process and minimize the down time. We charge $149.99 for them and will refund $129.99 if the core is returned. You sent(MotorcyclesOffroad) ok so you send it out and the person has x amount of time to send their ecu back to you? 550Performance: I haven’t implemented anything strict in the return time since it is beneficial to get ECUs back. 550Performance: So if a customer wanted to return a core a year from now I would likely accept it. You sent(MotorcyclesOffroad) So you are only making 20$ on something like that? 550Performance: Yeah, basically covers the fee associated with the process. We offer it solely to facilitate the sales of the tunes"

[@bombidude]

I just ordered 550 ecu stage 1 for my 300L.. Have a slip on black widow exhaust.. You think I'll be good.. I will do a air box cover mod too.. what do think will I be fine?

[@KurtGAndersen]

Thanks for an interesting and informative video. My experiences are from the Crf250s. I started with rentals in Thailand where these bikes are made. And eventually I bought a Crf250L in Thailand. I thought these bikes were fantastic and that they pulled like a beast to be a 250 cc bike. So eventually I started to read forums related to the Crfs and was really amazed that people in the Europe and US complained that the Crfs were so gutless. Then later I bought a 2018 Rally in Norway where I live. And a 2018 should even be more powerful than the first year (2012) bike I have in Thailand. To my big surprise I found the Rally very gutless at low and middle rpms compared to the thai model. Yes the Rally has some power above 6200-6300 rpms, probably more than the thai model - but below that its really gutless compared to the thai model. (Both my bikes are stock when it comes to engine/exhaust/airfilter) So for sure this has something to do with the ECU/mapping. As you mention - the export models are restricted due to emission, noise etc etc. On the 300s the thai models are listed with 31 HP while export models are listed with 27 HP. On the 250s no such difference are listed but for sure there are - because I own both a thai model and an EU model. I wonder if the 550 guy can remap 250 EU model ECUs too? Because my thai bike is a blast to ride while my EU model is rather meh… to ride.

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

Thats a good question you would have to hit him up. I just recently found out that between the 2 the ECU models are different.

[@ShayneMicchia]

You could contact one of the CRF experts in Thailand like Keng Engine or BNF, they can probably help.

I'm just curious how much better the full exhaust+ECU is vs the slip on. I just ordered the Yoshi slip-on since I didn't want to mess with upgrading the ECU and possibly affecting fuel economy.

[@BIGGIEBAG-XL]

Maybe the full system is the gain over the slip on? Not sure though

Which stage have your ECU modification gone? I have read their website and it has stage 1 of simply optimizing stock ECU all the way to stage 2 which involves hassle of changing camshaft and air intake.

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

I think the tunes have changed but you want a 91 octane Stage one. Do exhaust and intake, it will rip.

[@t_c5266]

My biggest issue (made me fail the driving test at the DMV) is the twitchy throttle at low speed. It goes from 0 fuel to a jerky fuel with the slightest touch of the throttle. Now I dont have any issue going from a stop, or stalling it out. But when I'm trying to do that 5mph dmv course it just jerks me back and forth. I have to literally practice with the clutch pulled in halfway to get it to succeed. Its in place for emissions, as in, they turn the idle basically off instead of letting it rev itself down when you let off the throttle. It was a problem with the older 450s as well and people had to make ECUs to defeat it. Could you do a test assessing if it still does this?

[@t_c5266]

@JESSIE JAMES no. It's the terrible design of the throttle

[@butterytoast4836]

I totally agree that electronic gizmos should be isolated from vibration. Imagine my surprise when, while changing an engine gasket on my diesel Ram truck, I learned that the ECU is bolted to the engine block! At least it's not on the same side as the exhaust.

[@justinbedell239]

Hi there. After making the ECU mod, what's your mpg like?

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

Well I dont exactly know, I have not tested it. I would image my gas usage has gone up because the ECU reversed the super lean condition from the factory and also advanced my timing for slower burning US 91 octane fuel.

[@950boy2]

How do you find the 300 with ecu and mods compares now to the DRZ400? I have a DRZ and one of the guys i ride with has a 250L and it just seems gutless! I'll send him the info on the ECU and see if can get him to tune his!

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

The 250L is gutless, I was actually riding one yesterday the 300L stock is much stronger, lighter and weight distribution is the right areas. I also did a video comparing the same 250L to the 300L as well as a video comparing the 300L to the 400. I have 2 friends who have DRZ400 s both like that honda 300L power better. But to answer your question the 300L feels much stronger then before, the power is more linear then the DRZ which I think the fuel injection makes the difference there. So you have power everywhere in the rev range.

[@950boy2]

Thanks for the reply. The big question. Does the mods make it a good enough replacement for the DRZ (mines the S so should be closer to the honda than the E model drz). Just considering it as a newer alternative. Troube here in Ontario demo rides are impossible to get. Wouldnt want to buy something and feel like ive stepped down.

[@Jonathan-gz6tu]

Does this address the extreme heat from these bikes? How about the jerky throttle?

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

I have never experienced extreme heat. But yes running a bike lean as they come from factory will make more heat and less power. Throttle is fine for me.

[@gregjetnikoff7124]

The biggest reason I would do a ecu swap/ fuelling controller is the idle/off idle area of the throttle. Current Japanese ( read the last few years) have atrocious snatchy throttles right down low which makes slow speed control extremelt difficult. Things like the MT07 actually were almost dangerous with thew way they come off low speed. They literally wheely when you don't want them to. The only thing that makes them smoothly responsive is a reflash properly. My cb500x also has the same problem. My partner's KTM 690 was also horrendous and it's not even japanese. That we have to add closed AND open loop electronic tamers to allow any real throttle control. Have you noticed any real improvement in that area?

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

Well it's a hard question to answer to be honest. I never had to much trouble with the throttle on this bike in particular, at least not that I noticed. But now the bike is much more fluid in it's power range throughout the revs. So maybe I didn't notice it, but there is no jerky feeling now.

The 07 became one of the best smoothest throttles after and the 500 would no longer stall if you idled along opened the throttle, closed it and reopened it. It just did what it was supposed to do.

I just ordered my tune I went with "stock modified" because I just have slip-on exhaust

[@honda116969]

Total was $308 cause I'm keeping stock ECU so if I want to send it back for a reflash for the stage-1 I can put the stock ECU so my bike is not immobilized 😂 can't wait 2 ride it after the tune! So we wOo-HoO

How can i get my drz400 to not have to rev so high at top speeds? It needs the 6th gear...

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

This is true and its funny I am reading this comment at this very moment. I am writing the script for my DRZ400 full review lol I would say your only option is to add a one tooth bigger sprocket on the front.

[@tannerbethard8575]

What is the difference between an ecu reflash and something like a Dyno jet?

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

I think you mean the difference in an ECU vs EJK (Electronic Jet Kit). An EJK can effect the rate of the fuel injection, it basically controls the EFI. Where the ECU is the entire computer for the bike. With an ecu you can bypass codes like carbon canisters or in this case we use it to modify fuel rate and advance the timing of the bike.

[@RedC63AMG]

I assume the IMS tank is what’s coming soon ? I carry a rubber tube with me when I’m riding with my son so we can siphon off the Rally in an emergency!

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

Well there is a nelson rig fuel tank bag that you can mix with a 40l fuel canister just in case.

[@johnridesadv2512]

IMS has their tanks up on their website for pre-order. Says 2.5 gallons though, which is disappointing. Nearly $400 for an extra 1/2 gallon?

[@shmack-dab-in-da-middle3960]

I kept my old one and ordered a FLashed one from them was 2-300$

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

Yes, absolutely.

[@garywilde6171]

It's a shame these are not available for EU models. There are ECU remaps available in the UK, but they all seam to be getting on for $1,000. I'm sure if they made one's forc EU models, and found a local distributor they would sell like hot cakes.

[@MotoSly]

yeah it's a shame. But i didn't know there are EU remaps? but at that cost, nobody wants it. But it does mean there is a way to unlock the ecu right?

[@marvicspiteri5920]

From where can i get an ecu for europe models

[@Jlk-rm1jv]

It's available now, as of April 2023.

Did the top speed improve after the ECU upgrade

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

Hmm I didnt really test the top speed. It definitely gets there faster thats for sure.

[@johnharris7756]

Top speed is mostly dictated by gearing

[@KentwoodWarrior]

I bought the new ecu for about $285, then returned my stock one for $130. So overall it cost around $155.

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

Really, my Convo with 550 he said like $20. I have it as and paste into the pinned comment. But even at 150 the bike is much nicer.

[@KentwoodWarrior]

@@MotorcyclesOffroad it was a well worth upgrade to me for $150 or so.

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

@@KentwoodWarrior made a huge difference on my bike as well.

[@timjrvine]

I think you'll find the tune is $150 not $30

[@ronald8673]

It is too bad Honda made the crf250rx a cross country bike instead of a true woods/enduro bike. It would be nice to have a 60 lbs less weight crf300l with better suspension.

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

They made a bike that appeals to most uses. Did exactly what the market was looking for.

[@rodono517]

$300 for new ECU and $150 for reflash when you send your own in.

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

I will reach out to them and see if he changed it. Did you see the chart he gave me?

[@rodono517]

I think they did raise the prices as I was looking at this a couple of months ago it was a little cheaper.

[@slakk5093]

Hmm guy scared of the crf300l but rides a drzE 🤔😂

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

Well they build power different. The 300L modded is instant torque straight away. The carb'ed DRZ takes time to build up the power give you time for reaction.

[@slakk5093]

@@MotorcyclesOffroad i just found it funny, does the 300L power wheelie in first if you snap open the throttle?.. I would be very surprised if the 300L had anywhere near that power. I am looking to buy a 300L but im just being realistic, the DRZ-E is quite a bit more powerful.

[@MotorcyclesOffroad]

Well yeah mine will throw you off the back but Idk about stock I cant remember. I mean almost anything can wheelie in first if you sit a little further back on the seat. Where it comes into play if if you kinda land wrong off a whoop or small jump you dont notice on the DRZ but you might torque the throttle a little, since it takes a second or so to build up power pulling a vacuum to bring gas up the jet and into the cylinder no fuss no muss. You do this on the 300L (at least with upgrades) the power is instant and it will throw you off course. There is no, or I should say a fraction of the lead up time until the power in the engine starts spinning the front sprocket.

[@mosheasaf677]

It's not 30 it's 300

The chart he sent me was 124.99 and a core refund of around $100.

[@mosheasaf677]

@@MotorcyclesOffroad look again at is sight

[@kenfm2000]

@@MotorcyclesOffroad I think when he used that chart it was $124.99 plus $100 core. So $224.99 and you get your $100 refund after he receives your old core. Now it's 299.98 minus $129.99 if you send in your core making it $169.99. Otherwsie you can just send yours in and have it reflashed for $149.99

[@KurtGAndersen]

Usa, Canada and Mexico measures octane differently than other parts of the world. North America measures octane level in AKI - anti knock index versus most other parts of the world measures octane by RON - researched octane number. None of these are better or more accurate than the other - its just different methods… AKI numbers are approx 4-6 lower than RON numbers - so in this case 91 octane AKI is equal to approx 96 RON. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_rating
