Dangerous Kickstand FIXED, Adjustable Kickstand CRF300L

[@lukefish7562]

I’m glad! I feel like mine is falling every time I put it down and walk away.

[@YourLordMobius]

I'm pretty sure having the kickstand that short is just a weird old dual sport thing. A lot of the old dual sports out of the '90s had kickstands that short. No idea why they were short then and long now. That adjustable kickstand is really cool though.

[@charlieogston1886]

Hi Jake. If you lengthen the side stand , you cannot put the stand down when sitting on the bike unless ground absolutley flat. The bike stands close to vertical and you risk dropping bike as you dismount. This has happened to two 300 Rally owners here . The joy of long soft suspension. Enjoying your happy presentations. Regards Charlie.

[@howardgroos7603]

As an older rider I have the same issue. Initially I could just about swing my leg over the seat but when I added a small tail bag it proved impossible. With encouragement from an even older Tenere rider I have now learnt to lean well forward over the tank then stand on the peg and swing into the saddle in time to stop the bike falling over to the right. Need to be tall or it may prove a disaster. Reckon I may invest in a longer sidestand anyway as I always use a 35mm wood block in the garage to save parking space. The standard left lean on this bike is crazy.

T-Rex racing has my 22 S1000R rn and I'm super excited to see what they make for it

[@thinkdunson]

8:06 you reminded me very strongly of Adam Savage with that look and the little laugh.

[@TheGardenSnake]

haha I'll take it. I like that guy

[@aaronbehindbars]

Mine is even worse on my Rally now that I have a stiffer shock. I saw their kickstand a few weeks ago and was thinking about it. I'm going to try sectioning and lengthening the stock stand. Replacements are super cheap from Honda, so I ordered a couple to cut up and add about 1 inch of length. Need to find some steel tubing to sleeve either inside or outside to make sure it's strong.

[@TheGardenSnake]

If you look at my MT07 adv series we can see how I extended the kickstand on that. One of the tricky things you’ll run into is it makes the kickstand heavier and the spring will be too soft. We ended up remaking the spring attachment point a bit further down. Not really ideal to just stretch a too weak spring to make it work. Also it ended up bending a bit and we had to fix it. That’s in the videos towards the end of the series. So you can modify them but going longer is a can of worms.

[@aaronbehindbars]

@@TheGardenSnake I remember seeing some of those issues you dealt with on that stand. I may need to rethink this. I was honestly a little sketched out by an adjustable stand and question how sturdy it is. You seem to suggest it's beefy in your video. Thank you for the feedback

[@peterantley]

@@aaronbehindbars metal is tough. after you get mud on it you will need to be sure that pin is fully seated. it would be nice to have a pin + cotter that went all the way through.

Jake is the reason I have trex stuff on my bike

[@jeffreymurillo3131]

I had the same issue won my XSR900, had to shave the frame stopper so I could swing the kickstand farther forward.

[@SuperAndyyyy]

could you turn the kick stand sensor cables into a immobilizer switch ?

[@twowheelslater7112]

Should have wired a waterproof switch into the kickstand kill somehow as an anti theft device. Just a thought.

[@petersmulders8058]

It’s called a key

[@kiddfpv]

I broke my kickstand switch trying to put in an adjustable one :/ i knew the fix was gonna be something like this lol. Thanks for making the video!! :)

[@chriskneifl3290]

I did the same thing.

[@christian____27]

What you mean by broke it? Just installed this kickstand and having issues with the kickstand switch with the new stand also the stock one now

[@ChaseJasperDown]

That’s a weird thing that Honda did. Glad there’s a solution for it!

[@Fish_Master]

Do I have to delete the kick stand switch if I get this

[@IRLtrolls]

T Rex racing is great. I have their crash bars on my concours 14. Love to see them in a garden snake video.

[@sebastiengreen1517]

The kick stand height is set to act as a tripod splitting the weight equally with the two wheels so that it should require the same force to make the bike fall on either side.

[@MOOKY6G72]

Could you just drill a new hole in the kickstand for the sensor to locate in? so it only cuts out when the stand is fully down and not just when it sags a bit.

[@bradb9146]

I have T-Rex Racing crash bars on my 2015 Honda CRF250L . They make some very nice stuff for sure . 👍

[@thejayman587]

I may need to buy this for my 300L.

[@wooable]

The kickstand is short because the asian market crf300l sits about 2inches lower than the us bike and they never bothered to fit a taller kickstand on it. Other differences are also the lack of the led headlights as seen on the asian market

[@mt1885]

Hi Jake - what SIZE bolt did you use or what model or Part number can you please post it here? *GREAT VIDEO* !!

@@TheGardenSnake Side note, I'll have to see ifI can find one of these kickstand for a 91 CBR. Been holding on to this thing for way too long 😂 Previous owner knocked it over in the garage and I think it must've bent where it mounts cause now the bike stands up almost vertical

[@zyonsdream]

Guess you never saw the kickstand on the Africa Twin before the new gen update. Super Soft aluminum. Mine literally bent like a banana. Camel ADV hooked us AT owners up with a steel stand.

[@TheGardenSnake]

Honda needs to get it together with these bad kickstands

[@Firestorm637]

Cool kickstand!

[@DragonNova]

Does anyone know of a longer kickstand that will bolt on?

[@AntaresSQ01]

3:25 *me, who has absolutely neeever, not even once, pulled off with the kickstand down on my old XT600*: "Duh...Sound easy"

[@MotoVet86]

FYI for anyone else. I just installed mine. I noticed that they didn’t angle the foot pad, so the kick stand is riding on its edge toward the back tire. Probably won’t be an issue in the long run. Just annoying that they overlooked that for an overpriced kick stand.

[@mrcla55yguy20]

Do I have to disable the kickstand sensor if I install this kickstand?probably a dumb question as you seemed to just mention it as a preference. I’m just curious if it has mounting spots for it on the aftermarket…assuming so but only 4:11 in so far. Good and funny content per usual. Thanks🤙… lmao -second edit & at 4:26 you answered my question. Guess I should’ve waited 15 more seconds🤦🏻‍♂️

[@57Jimmy]

Ya, the kickstand is a bit un-nerving! Me, being 64 and now on my own CRF300L, first off road bike since the mid 70s. Leg don’t swing over the seat like it used to! I watched another video on how to mount by first stepping on the foot peg and thought for sure it would pull the bike over, but no! I am getting more comfortable with it now but know I will do some kind of mod to extend it. Again, just like the 70’s, slide on a platform ‘shoe’ on the end!🤣👴🏻🇨🇦

[@asiaexpat1]

what sticker set is that??

[@TheGardenSnake]

Volta supply. Go to my videos or the crf300l playlist. It’s one of the first videos.

[@Mr_Lasagna]

I think you installed the kickstand upside down

[@daklakdigital3691]

IF YOU ARE OFF-ROADING people need a mud-foot on the stand? Cost's less than a dollar. That will help your wheels upright in the rough. I also attached Long Stands to the metal bar that surrounds the seat. If my 'scoot falls over fully loaded I simply unfold the appropriate Long Stand, and lift the machine up with the Long Stand supporting the machine as you stand it up 9in small stages.

[@Largetalons]

Much needed mod. Surprised some gatekeeper isn't commenting saying how Honda had it that way for a reason.😀

[@rorysinger5546]

My take on this kickstand.....to short, wrong angle, wrong placement or all three issues. As a new Rally owner, it's sketchy at best! How could Honda engineer this dangerous stand?

You should put the fz07 wheels on the Honda 🤣

[@TheGardenSnake]

Well the front has two rotors. I guess I could take one off. The rear is a 5.5 inch rim, that’s not gonna fit. And finally they’re cast so they’ll bend. So probably not doing that 😂. But hey that would be cool if it was possible. I have warp9 wheels here already.

Hi Jacob, biggest fan of your's. Have been watching ur channel forever. But lately it's been more about promoting sponsors and speaking about Patreon. I miss the content like "my wife gave me an enema" or "Fireguy is my best freind". I will still keep tabs on your channel since you're the one who single handedly started to get me back into motorcycling. But I still lack the previous content you used to publish....

[@TheGardenSnake]

Well thanks for sticking with me over the years. Your issues with my content is two different things so I’ll address them one at a time. The old riding around talking about funny stories and being a hooligan doesn’t really work anymore. No one watches that stuff and KZbin nerfs it hard. Can’t get sponsors doing that kinda stuff either. So it makes no sense financially. Also I’m 36 years old, married, and have two kids. Can’t keep being a full time hooligan. I’ll still do it from time to time but not 3-4 days a week anymore. Secondly shouting out the patreon for like 30 seconds or so is something you can easily skip past. But patreon pays the bills and is the only reason you see a video at all. KZbin pays me hardly anything. You’re getting free content from me at the end of the day. If I stop for a minute to promote something that feeds my family and you don’t like that then leave. Sorry to be blunt but I’m not stopping the push for patreon.

[@Largetalons]

Jujimufu and Andrew Camarata have been good channels to rely on in these dark times of Patreon.... amazing how you can say anything you want to casual fans if you have a good nest egg of obsessed ones who pay for behind the scenes kickstand footage.

[@rdizzo1313]

Honda needs to quit cutting corners on certain parts. I get they want to make it “Affordable” but some things can be tweaked on all of their bikes to make a big difference. Its 2021... “The Future” We can be modern with parts or frames can be a little more finished and still be a classic. Just feel like they are drip feeding us at this point....🥴

I guess that could work. For me this being adjustable is really helpful.
