CRF300L Full Exhaust install, Black Widow Exhaust

[@TheGardenSnake]

Actually next video on Patreon is me at MotoGP riding a Ducati Monster that they let me have from some reason haha. Dyno tuning video will be next and will be on Patreon about a week ahead of the public edit. Not trying to pull a fast one or anything haha. Just that the story for that video is still kinda unfolding haha, you'll see. But I wanted to be able to do it right. Also wanted to break up these wrenching videos with some other footage. The Ducati MotoGP video is really good I feel like, worked pretty hard on it. www.patreon.com/posts/ducati-gave-me-66301099

Glad to see over the years you have both stayed good friends, I live in the uk like you spicy but it would be awesome to see you go to the us and ride with jake one day( y) I think that would be a top video!

9:10 NASA Calculations were carried out using the metric system, but display readouts were in units of feet, feet per second, and nautical miles - units that the Apollo astronauts were accustomed to. So imperial units were just there to complicate things for the sake of "we are used to them" but not actually used to calculate all the physics of getting there. 😜

[@TheBoma1000]

ive had a black widow system on my mt09 for almost a year, absolutely top quality and sounds insane

[@Pikachu-om4pc]

used my blackwidow troughout 2 winters, just a bit darker than fresh

[@exothermal.sprocket]

I like the look of the 2-chamber design on the M4 exhaust for the 890cc MT-09 now.

[@FAFO_24]

Just got mine today. the 200mm black stainless oval with carbon tip. Took only 2 days to go from the UK to Kentucky. Crazy fast. I'm happy to support this company. Mine did not come with the exhaust gel.

[@sxurry]

Looks like a quality part, glad u gave the company some exposure

[@ShutterUp]

I have a Black Widow system on my 5th gen VFR and I'm very happy with it. Ordered directly and was delivered to the USA VERY quickly. Impressive.

[@remid161]

Damn, I was here for the rev ups and woo hoos! :) Great series, lots to learn, lots of progress on the bike Jake! Love it all... ... yeah, and nice on finally finding an available exhaust of course :P

[@TheGardenSnake]

When I put the tuning video up I’ll do some fly bys and you’ll hear it on the dyno

[@ATL_Evan]

I've used black widow on both an mt07 and mt09. Great priced and looks and performs great used tunes with both. And just like you said they both lined up and fit perfect! 💪

[@PureCountryof91]

The fact that the exhaust is such a big weight reduction is pretty amazing..

[@MrAmorti]

Not really. The new exhaust is going back to technology of decades ago where all you had to do was reduce the dB's a bit, and inhibit sparks from setting the forest alight. Well, I'm assuming they have a spark arrestor in there. Meanwhile the modern exhaust has a catalyst or two in there, double walled tubes because heat insulation and crack prevention, reverberation chambers to actually reduce noise to a sociable level, etc.

[@cyclerider5652]

I like the way you can use the stock heat shield and the way they even threaded the mounting holes.

[@DKornacki3]

Just bought the 300BT system for my Z650! Forgot these exhausts existed - thanks for the reminder Jake! Can’t wait to get my exhaust in

[@kbeightyseven]

Black widow are well known here on the u.k, they make a great product and great price

[@livinloud1998]

Ordered a yoshimura right off their website. Shipped next day.

[@TylerMcCool]

Same here..

[@atrenthillman]

Thanks so much for this video. I added the black widow to my new 300L Rally before I ever picked it up. Sound great. I love it.

[@jollyshrimpo]

Good way to check for leaks is soapy water gives bubbles if there is air makes it effortless

[@6Twisted]

Can vouch for Black Widow. Bought a couple of their exhausts and always a perfect fit, well made and don't blow their wadding out like other exhausts I've had. I wish they used gaskets between the joins though so you don't need messy paste.

[@chrisatc627]

I bought one for my drz400 awesome pipe, and it came from the Uk in two days I was amazed

[@doobielawson702]

You do nice work. I had '13 250L that had full FMF Megabomb header with the Q4 muffler. It did add hp but I hated how loud it was. I recently bought a 300L and love how quiet the exhaust is, but I'm still getting more power and certainly more torque. One thing that made me really dislike the loud exhaust was the use of comms. We started using them a few years ago and it was hard to hear, especially when accelerating. I wish they made a replacement muffler that was the same decibels as stock, but much lighter. I figure I'm probably in the minority on this lol.

[@zombiewoof5257]

I'm also in that minority :-) Arrow has exhausts for the CRF300 that apparently aren't too loud. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJPCmZSInMySpc0

[@450moto9]

It’s always a little tricky the first time you stick it in😉….. anyway good vid bro. Now I have to track one down for mine

[@TheGardenSnake]

😂

[@MrAmorti]

Brit here. Japanese bikes will usually have 12mm flats on an m8 bolt and 14mm flats on an m8 nut. There will be exceptions to that. Ordinary metric hardware in UK has 13mm flats on both m8 nuts and m8 bolts. It would be pretty crazy to find a 1/2" head on anything metric. Maybe on some British or American vehicle from around the time metric became standard, and standard became American size.

[@replica4132]

How have I seen like two hundred of your intros, and I still laugh at the fuckin explosion edit every time 😂

[@ExploreAdventureMoto]

I have a pair of melted riding pants due to a missing heat shield on a dirt bike. Those tabs are a nice touch.

[@YourLocalRaccoon]

I'm sure you already thought about it, but that empty space where you took out the charcoal thingy is the perfect size for a little cylinder tube thing to holds stuff like registration and insurance papers, and maybe some tools like a little screwdriver for the airbox and a spare spark plug maybe.

[@thewizardoftech5075]

just bought this with the last of my money and the ecu upgrade god i hope its a good exhaust since there is no videos other then yours

[@funshine3571]

I was just looking at this exhaust for my drzsm. Wasn't sure but now i'll give it a go. 👍

[@codyzeller6549]

I think a good final touch would be to paint the frame to match the forks. :D

[@Minionmoto529]

The bike sounds great with the exhaust and it does look great as well

[@108Hawke]

Put a blackwidow high mount on my 99 vfr800. They were one of the few that made a high mount. I was honest so impressed with how good their exhausts are. Can't go wrong with this brand and the price cant be beat.

[@TheGardenSnake]

Nice, those vfrs sound good with exhaust

[@thinkdunson]

good stuff, jakeoff. i don't know if you were serious about having to blur the bit when you fisted the exhaust, but either way, it had me laughing.

13mm isn't that uncommon over here. Generally bolts are even sized up to 12mm (8, 10, 12mm etc) and above 12mm they use odd sizes (13, 15, 17mm etc) and then it just becomes a mix of the both

Also the long bolt that holds on the silencer that goes through the spacer was only threaded about an inch or two which wasn't enough so I've had to add an even longer spacer. Other than that no problems with my black widow so far.

That 13mm nut is a high tensile metric. "Normal" grade would be 12mm spanner size.

[@phantomsky8592]

Im happy with my Black Widow on my CRF300l...i kept the baffle in so I could put a Fisch Moto spark arrestor in it but I cut the end cap of the baffle off, it was a little too high pitch for my taste.

[@TheGardenSnake]

I drilled out the end of the baffle. Takes the edge off but still braps.

[@coloradogman5704]

Which Fish Moto arrestor did you end up getting, I need one too?

I'd advise a carbon fibre can because they get nowhere near as hot on the outside for your luggage. You can grab hold of the can right after a ride.

@@TheGardenSnake You plan to mod the baffle for a little more sound? Every baffle insert I've ever heard changed the tone significantly, which I really hate. Deep and throaty turns into raspy, nasally, and hollow.

[@ants4561]

13mm and 10mm are the most common bolt size across Europe. You find in Asian models they substitute the 13mm for 12mm because 13 is an unlucky number.

Wish they made one for the 450l

Hello Jake, I have the CRF300L blackwidow header and exhaust, I need to ask if you know what the other thing in the little box is for? It's with the crush washer, whatever it is, I damaged it opening the box, fell on the floor and I thought it was metal & stamped on it to stop it rolling away 😢, I have no clue what it's for at all, any info would be great, I never noticed you using it in this video, or did I miss it lol, cheers buddy 👍

[@ronald8673]

Why no "power bomb" expansion chamber in the header pipe ? Those supposedly help power on the bottom end , no? Did you remove the resonator from the tube between the air box and FI unit ? What is that things purpose anyways ? I never saw one before. Thanks for the video.

[@TheGardenSnake]

Pretty much only fmf does those. It might be helpful but I’m not sure. The chamber in the intake is a helmholtz resonator and they’re a good thing to have. Kinda hard to explain it in a comment. They kinda do the same thing an expansion chamber does on an fmf pipe. You’re making a wave that bounces back and forth in the intake.

[@ronald8673]

@@TheGardenSnake Yoshi has the exhaust head pipe resonator/expansion chamber on the factory Honda mx race tream bikes. Akrapovic uses the exhaust head pipe resonator/expansion chamber on the Red Moto/European Honda Enduro Team race bikes. That heimholtz box was used in the early 80's on several factory mx 2 stroke race bikes . They were supposed to keep a partial vacuum in the intake track to allow a quicker fuel charge into the cylinder on the intake stroke. They were a fad that came and went. Even less need on a 4 stroke design. Unless maybe they are doing it to reduce sound volume? Also on the air box mod you did that is only half the battle. The (FI to air filter box) intake snorkel tube sits an inch away from the filter. I am cutting mine down to be almost flush with the box allowing more still air to be available to be drawn into the engine. The whole filter is not being used with the oem design. HP is still limited due to the oem smaller intake tract and FI unit but it will help. Thanks
