Pegs, Shifter, Brake Pedal Upgrade CRF300L

[@NoOne-nr6yx]

Can confirm the rear brake pedal DOES NOT FIT a 2023 Rally. The offset/jog on the pedal that interacts with the master cylinder is the wrong offset. Could probably mount the master cylinder on the outside of the bracket and install screws from back side……but seems like a bad idea.

Don't ride am just blown away by how different one bike can be from the exact same bike. Great video.

[@markholden417]

Hi. The cable on the brake is called a brake snake. It’s job is to stop the brake lever from folding out and back on itself. The cable should also run to the inside of the bash plate and attach where ever you can find a good strong spot. Where you have it on the outside of the baseplate it is begging to get snagged. Cheers.👍

[@ptz0n]

Thanks for showing how to adjust the brake light switch. My spring was so loose it slipped out of the pedal. Now it’s properly tentioned to switch on the light 👏🏻

[@someguy5035]

Absolutely no way in hell I would pay $97 for a brake lever. That thing cost $20 to make. The other $77 is added when they put the name on it.

[@user-se7vt5ow4e]

Honda always skimps on grease. I do the swingarm bolt, shock linkage and steering head bearings.

[@mrmu9877]

Ok. Watched ya vid. Feeling inspired...again.👍 Ordered my brake pedal...exact model as per link. Pedal arrived, tried to fit but it is not compatible with the 300l!?!? Does not align to the clevis. What did you bend, brake or grind to force this to work "as it should"?

[@jdgreany]

Same problem here

[@Minionmoto529]

i bought similar shifter and brake lever for my KTM. I am waiting to buy the IMS footpegs in the future but i did buy a 3.5 gallon tank from them.

Any chance could you do a comparison to the DRZ400S ? Would make an interesting video.💯👍

Dude! I haven't watched your channel in probably a couple of years, and you popped back up on my list on an adventure bike! I went to Get On! ADV fest last year, and I'll be back up there this year (in SD not Cali). I'll be on a KTM 390 Adventure!

Is that the good way? I don’t know anymore.

[@aaronbehindbars]

I did the Zeta Trigger brake lever about a month ago on my 300 Rally and really like it, plus it looks incredible. The brake snake doesn't work well on the Rally's plastic belly pan. I might install mine if I ever get an alloy skidplate on mine. For those with big feet, it's nice to have a longer shift lever. I've used Hammerhead shifters with their extended shift tips. You can get +10mm and +20mm in addition to stock length. They are pretty reasonably priced, too. The Zeta Revolver is another nice shifter that offers some fine tuning adjustability to the shifter tip, also reasonably priced, and sold by Revzilla (which is a plus since they are nice enough to sponsor you). I'm still trying to settle on some footpegs. I think I want Pivot Pegz, but not too keen on spending $200. I grabbed a set of Zeta knocks from Amazon for $20, but I don't think I trust them because they are suspiciously lightweight. They also sit at a funny angle on the bike...you get what you pay for and I got them because they were an open package return for $10 off and I was leaving for camping trip within a few days and Jeff Bezos sent one of his drivers the next day to drop them off...

[@TankToChest]

I broke 2 cast aluminum shifters on my DRZ until I went to a steel one. Never had issues since 💪🏻

[@TheGardenSnake]

Chris Fire guy would say "I just try not to crash so much"

[@johnharris7756]

My steel brake lever bend back on itself lol.

[@mymotosai5036]

Any opinions on the problem with the gear shaft failing when crashing on the left side? I've heard many instances of this. One remedy it to actually have a softer gear shifter not stronger so the shifter fails before the shaft. People I know have actually grinded slots in their gear lever so it will break before the shaft.

[@mikecurrier5868]

Jake, I have tried a number of brake pedals like the Zeta Trigger and the bend that connects to the master cylinder is too shallow and forces the plunger out away from the bike and puts the activation in a bit of a bind. I noticed you have the same issue but didn't discuss it. I don't want to try and bend the brake pedal or the master cylinder mount on the bike. Maybe I can mount the brake to the outside of the cylinder connector and use a spacer in the center to keep the shape and a longer pin to connect brake pedal to outside surface of cylinder connector? Your thoughts?

[@bar2508]

That's exactly what I had to do and at this point it is working fine.

[@crockrides6634]

This video gave me Bob Ross vibes… and I’m okay with that 😂

[@scottsmith1897]

I tried one of these brake pedals today and it would not fit. The clevis end was about a 1/4" shorter on the zeta pedal. I did swap out the clevis for the zeta one so who knows may try again with the factory clevis.

[@reg26]

Its says for CRF 250L I guess alot of the 250L parts fit the 300L ?

[@retiredbiker]

Revzilla shows the brake lever as a CRF250L part and will not fit the 300.

[@Firestorm637]

Nice job as usual

[@TheGardenSnake]

Thanks!

[@shawnlepine5788]

What’s the part number for that damn toe shifter?

[@ionlycomment9134]

Honda should have paid you a ton to work on this bike. You have shown its capabilities and customizability and added to the off the shelf mods available to people with the ghraphics and the parts you put on. Maybe you should contact yamaha if they ever get off their ass and release a dualsport competitor

[@TheGardenSnake]

Thanks 🙏. Some in the industry get what I can do. A lot still don’t 🤷‍♂️

[@cyclerider5652]

Nice mods. CRF "Bling". The stock brake pedal is just asking to get bent. My old XR250L came with a folding braked pedal. Seems like they only cut corners on the CRF300L where you can easily upgrade. Some people may be perfectly happy with the stock bike, some will trick it out. Honda is smart. Quality where it counts.

[@adrienne3916]

Great upgrades 💯💯🙌🙌

[@brianmccanonbmccanon1997]

Do these same parts fit the new CRF300LS? I am thinking a lot of the CRF300L parts (not he rear shock) fit the LS.

[@TheGardenSnake]

I would assume just about everything other then suspension. They have crf300l specific brake pedals now. I would get one of those because the one I have is a little off

[@scottmunro9080]

Did you find out the problem for the bike stalling?

[@TheGardenSnake]

99% sure it’s the charcoal canister. Which is gone now. Video coming.

[@anthonyschuler4773]

Not sure how you got the brake pedal to fit, but it just doesn't line up right with the rear master cylinder; forced off to the side and brake won't release.

[@TheGardenSnake]

🤔 that’s weird. Mine was slightly tight but I’m pretty sure I bent that in slight when I laid it over on that side. Like it looked tweaked in. So I put a towel around the bracket and vice griped it over a bit. Did it nice a slow and it was fine. I thought I was fixing mine but maybe that’s how they are. If your comfortable doing that then it should be fine. Sorry if I had it wrong.

[@anthonyschuler4773]

@@TheGardenSnake no need to apologize. Seems like some people have had better luck than others with those pedals. I’ll give bending that bracket a try, and maybe a new clevis. If it doesn’t work I’m sure I can find a 250 guy who would want it at a discounted price. No harm done.

Take it from me..... aka the idiot who rode twice across the country on a WR250R and pissed off/confused EVERYBODY with wtf I was doing. Switch back to your "dual sport" trim for the travel portion of your trip and ship your adventure tires to a bike shop close to the event so you can do the tire swap there before doing your offroad stuff once you are in Cali or you will be replacing BOTH of your "Adventure Tires" by the time you get to Flagstaff (instead of just the rear) and then have the knobs on the new set half worn down again by the time you get to the event. I'm not here to " Disrespekt tha Cense' " ....... Just wanna see you have the least amount of "issues" with your journey. Just TRUST ME on this GNOMIE. It's just the , "Waaaaaaay of the Road!!" ;) ("Baby Randy" approves of Jake deleting this comment in confirmation of being read)

[@bar2508]

The brake does not fit a 2023 crf300l non abs. I'm out a hundred bucks. Lesson learned.

[@bar2508]

To make the brake useable I made a longer pin (7mm diameter) and drilled a hole for the cotterpin, placed a nut in the center of the mastercylinder bracket as a spacer and had the brake lever sit on the outside of the master bracket. The pin I made had a small head on it so I only had to cotterpin one side, I imagine you could find something that works without making it yourself, I just happen to do cnc work.
