Your mods make the KLX 300 look perfect! I wish I had your skills for modifying motorcycles. It’s so much better now than when it was stock!

Cool video, some straight talk about the mods and difficulty to install and cost, which I appreciate. I like that you did some less common mods like the headlight and changing the overall color. Good stuff, it is a great looking bike.

I have to say the contrast between the black plastic and the transparent tank really works.

Well done video. I like seeing all the customizing people do to there bikes. It definitely makes the bike yours and not just another bike. Sometimes makes a name for the bike stand out to you. I've done most of the same modes as you. I too changed out the head light for a different look. These KLX's are great bikes.

Wow! This thing is so amazing. I’ve been thinking about buying this bike, and you really raised the bar on cool mods🤘🏻🤘🏻

I bought the 2023 in camo, for the black frame. Minus the light and exhaust, I'm going for a similar look. You did a great job. It looks great. Thank you for the inspiration.

Very nice KLX 300 ADV build. I've had mine since they came out but I'm just now modding it out. Ride safe & have fun!

Yup! That light is a huge upgrade. Looks sooo much better!

The popping your getting is proof you’re already lean with the slip-on. I’d get a fueler box just for that, and to cool things down. Problem with airbox mods is that the increase in power is minimal when compared to the added intake noise. I’d add a fueler to compensate for the slip-on and call it good.

Damn !!! Nice Job with the mods. Great unique look for the KLX. I have a 2022 camo version, mostly stock, except for Bars, Busters, and Pegs. I like yours way better. 😆 Ride on.

Sweet headlight. Really changes how the bike looks, it has the Mad Max vibes now. Way to go on the mods, I like the way your bike turned out.

Nice work, I had a 2016 KLX250 for a few months, first bike for 30yrs, then found a 2010 KLX250 with a factory 300 head and barrel, full "StayinTune" pipe & the air box lid had been removed, from out west on a farm where it had sat in a shed unused for the last 10yr's. It only had 970km on the clock (602mi). The whole thing was full of "red bull dust", wasp nests and most of the plastics were sun damaged. The carburettor was a mess, so I deep cleaned it and the rest of the bike, cleaned & greased all bearings, swing arm & linkage, steering head bearings & replaced the rear wheel seals. Flushed out all fluids, break, engine oil & coolant, buffed up the plastics as best I could & new deep cycle battery. Got it roadworthy & registered. First ride, it had so much power it scared the living 😁 out of me, it was unexpected after having been used to the standard 250. But it was chewing through the juice. Reinstated the air box lid with the KDX snorkel, which I ended up trimming down internal of the box after seeing the "dust on filter" pattern. Spent a fair bit of time re-jeting the carbi, the nonstandard main jet was too big and changed other jets to get it back to 25-30 km/lt (50-70 mpg) while maintaining great bottom end, good mid-range and acceptable top end power. Still has enough for me & will do freeway speeds easy if need be, not that I like doing it. Put an IMS tank on, SeatConcepts seat, which was not as comfortable as I had hoped for, foot pegs, a rear rack, shorter adjustable hand leavers, bar risers, 12v outlet, Quad Lock, LED globes front and rear, blinkers are still incandescent. The bike came with Barkbusters, a must-have. Got the forks and rear shock professionally serviced with new seals, heaver springs & revalved for my weight, that made a big difference and "planted" as they say. You may not need it, I'm 100 kg (220lb). I now run a Pirelli MT21 up front with a Dunlop D606 rear. That front tyre made a big difference on difficult terrain. And get your wheels balanced when you can. I have put about 4000 miles on it in just over 12 months, mostly dirt and have had so much fun, I rarely take the VW van out at all. It has been a great bike, I am outgrowing it, but it was worth the fun getting it where it now stands and will be a great ride for the next owner. A few weeks ago I found a KLX 400r (2005) with low km on it and unmolested. I like green and will see if it fit my stature & weight better. Love your work, I'll keep watching, stay safe and have fun. Cheers from downunder.... Shane

Beautiful bike! You did an amazing job!

Very cool set up!

Looking at getting one of these as my first bike. Thanks for sharing the work you’ve done. Hoping to do something similar for bike camping starting here in southern oregon. Like the content!

Great video👍A video explaining the light install would be awesome!

The cyclops light looks awesome... big aesthetic improvement. Hopefully someone comes out with something similar with easier install. Great vid, thanks.

everything looks great! just a heads up about the front break line, you find over time that it will rip up because it hits the left hand guards when the front shock compress over bumps or braking. an easy fix is to bring the brake line inward towards the fork tube by rotating the top ring holder a 180 degrees, with a little bend here and there. you're good to go. this will be easy, you have got skills!

Great looking mods and bike!

I've been researching this bike as a lightweight play toy. The suspension gets good reviews.

Im not sure if you have the stock footage for it but I would love to hear more about that cyclopse light install. Overall its amazing what you did. Absolutely transformed the bike!

Looks really good. Keep up the content 😊

Super cool. I just picked up the 2024 green klx300. I want to do the same thing as you. Light adventure bike

I have the '22 model and a Delkevic exhaust with the KDX snorkel, and it runs great ! No issues, she rips !

really like it, inspired me to modif my klx

Great job. I have a 2018 KLX250 Cameo. I love the headlight look, it transforms the bike. I did the same rear rack and I mounted a Pelican style box. I have a small fuel bottle I carry in the box just in case. I have several bikes but love riding this one since it's light and fun. I may change out the bars for something higher and that will allow easier mounting for Bark Busters. You have a great presentation style!

SUPER Cool. I've got a week old brand new DR 650 that i'm trying to set up. Super cool!

That headlight is THE BEST!

That looks awesome! I did a kx number plate with a 6 inch led bar off the brp bar clamps. Good work!

that light is sick. I'm jealous

Cool looking bike.

What a great looking KLX!! The black panels and white tank really set this bike off for looks...oh yes the headlight also. I have 15,000 miles on my 2021..just finished riding the TAT (NC to OR and back) and twice on the SM500. This is an awesome small adventure bike. You might consider a few more items if you are indeed looking to make it a "real" adventure bike. I added a larger foot to the side stand which keeps it up in the mud/stand; pivotpegs are the cadilac for footpegs; nelson rigg make a small fender bag which has the option to tie the front straps to the forks..it will not come lose when you do this; I would consider radiator guards (Emperor Racing has black powered coated; 2 tooth larger rear sprocket is really required to do the steepe climbs on the TAT making the bike work like a "tractor" that just keeps climbing; Zeta makes some really nice brake/clutch levers. If you do install the EJK, I found the best mounting is to place it under the left upper side panel just pass the raditator to avoid heat with velcro tape. It keeps it high for water crossing and you can easily remove the side panel if you need to adjust the tuning. Along with the KDX snorkel, install a Twin Air filter and put on a air filter skin. Take along a couple of spare skins and just replace them so you don't have to clean the air filter on the road. The Mosko Moto luggage, Rackless 80, does not need a rack but I installed the PMR side racks just to protect the battery/reservior side of the bike...it did it job when I laid the bike down several times in deep ruts and sand. Keep the videos coming....

I enjoyed your content look forward to seeing more of your videos. Hopefully I subscribing the bell will ring ding ding ding and I'll get a better idea what direction I would like to go with my 300

Excellent informative video #Rookieofthegear Thank you for sharing. You are a natural with video and audio!

Looks great

Very nice! Really unique look. I'm also doing the adv-lite conversion to my 22' KLX300. I've only had it for 2 months so not as far along in the process as you are, but already got a lot of mods. I'm pretty jealous of that cyclops headlight, it looks amazing! Shame that it doesn't fit so well w/o heavy modification to the dash area. I'm eventually planning to do something like a mini-nav tower with a Samsung tablet or Carpe Iter, mounting bracket, and small windscreen, so I won't mess with that. I have the Kawasaki green model and I like it, but I want black rims, haha! I really want a bigger tank, but according to IMS there's a small chance they will be making a bigger KLX300 tank next year. I'm holding out for a few months to see if they announce anything.

Looks great!

Great build, I own one of the older carburetor klx 300, very good low maintenance reliable bike, done almost the same mods as you! The most noticeable of them all would probably have to be the stainless steel break lines for me, not sure about yours but the older klx's have spongy breaks and only get worse with age as the rubber lines expand with age! Also I find KDX snorkel to help bike breath better without making it loader like removing the air box lid!

Greetings Fantastic detailed video 🇺🇸🍾🎉🇺🇸 Keep producing more videos

Nice work!!!

I wanted to do a adv build on this bike soooo bad. I wound up going with the DR650 because I’m 90% commuting/road riding, and the 650 helps move my 235lbs at highway speeds. I still love these Kawi’s though. Great job.

That headlight is bad ass

Interesting build up! Looking forward to seeing it used in the field! I love the Cyclops headlight, makes the bike pop, something I really wanted to do, but I think I am gonna keep the stock and use the Mini Univesal ADV fairing by ADV Spec to build a small tower more conducive to navigation, and find myself some cheap aux lights to wire in, and if the Tusk doesn't work for you, Revzilla has a USB port you can more easily wire in, and has a (12V)2a and 5a port wired. Its more easily wired in and fits more uses than the Tusk 12v cigarette lighter type. Great build looking forward to some ride videos! I will have to subscribe!

I have the seat concepts on my Suzuki DRZ400 and it feels great. Mine is just the normal height. Hopefully yours breaks in for you. You did a really nice job setting up your bike.

It looks pretty cool 👍🏽

Take my money! Take everything.... you stole my heart... so just take it all! Lol you did everything I did to my XR650R! EXCEPT that bike was never street legal and I had to wire everything. Then I had a KLR650 fully decked out. Now I want one of these. Still have and will always have my KDX 220R! Love your build!

You rock girl!! Got the same bike just an awesome ride. Your “20grand “bike looks dope. Dump the stock grips and get “Progrip rally soft” grips , The ones with the zigzag texture. Superior feel world of difference. I ride Southern Cali. Love to ride with ya Safe Journeys!! Allan

Just bought a 2023 model and am doing some of the same mods. I have a Delkevic can from another bike I'm planning to put on it when the extension pipe arrives. I'm skeptical of the internet telling you that you have to do a fuel tuner. I like KC Outdoors approach of checking the plug occasionally for signs of detonation. Just ordered the KDX snorkel as almost everyone I've watched or talked to says factory settings are very lean and opening up the airflow should help a ton.

I've got about 13k kms on my 2018 KLX250S. Been using it mostly for dual sport and hard trail riding. Even with stock D605 tires on I've gotten it up some of the steepest hill climbs! This week I have a 330cc Keng Engine big bore kit arriving + whole new rear shock and klx300r valves for front suspension. I'm a big guy so need the extra power and suspension and will start using it more for adventure rides once it's set up. Hoping for a good result because there's not a great deal of bikes to choose from in the land of Viet Nam. I don't consider anything over 150kg an adventure bike even though that's what they are all called and marketed as highly capable offroad machines. It's just not true! Good luck on your journey 👍

plug the pair valve hose with something it will stop decel pops. **13t front sprocket, an seccond throttle blade removal is better then ALL POWER MODS COMBINED!**. I have pc fc w/ tune(27hp-18fptq) fmf pipe intake mods keep it stock get a o2 delete will fix lean issues from factory for your pipe. i like the headlight mod i did a square 48 led pod. It's stupid bright on hi beam. i just put it in the stock bracket an left the triangle cluster cover on. getto but i can see everything on night rides

GREAT video Sarah, you’re a fine public speaker…would love to see a night review of the Cyclops, and maybe with an upgraded LED bulb as well for comparison! Nobody has done one yet that I’m aware. I have ruined two iphone cameras on ram mounts haha. Never again!

You should really make a video about headlight installation. That would be awesome.

大灯是夸张的大眼复古，颜色和油箱做了恰到好处的改变。

I would recomend to use an old or used road bicicle tire (with 2 zip ties) as a protector on the front frame were the Front fender doesn't cover (under it and upper the belly pan), best cheap mod to keep the painting chipping away and lettin'g corrosion join in after some usage. And also make some plates to cover the water pump (you can use the right fot peg main bolt as primary point and then on the belly pan make 2 holes and add 2 bolt to get a molded plate fit) same for the left side if you want to add a little more o protection over the Case. Fine looking Dakar style Bike! And lastly, the poping you get on the exhaust is because the EVAP unit working its that fine loking plate over the exhaust pipe conection (Cylinder and exhaust) you need a delete kit, pretty decent price actually or you can make it yourself after some research. Thing just makes unburnt fuel coming from exhaust valve burn on the exhaust/pipe/header with fresh air coming from the intake VIA a tube and a valve.

Your KLX looks super sweet - lots more mods than mine. KC outside has a note for removing decel pops after slip on install via PAIR valve delete which makes total sense. Not sure if your CA model would be the same.

Thanks. Your videos are very helpful. I just finished the New Mexico BDR this year and CABDR last on my 1100 Africa Twin - dangerously heavy and not fun. Tomorrow I go trade it in for a new KLX 300 and am so excited. I am doing the tank swap first. What luggage rack did you use? Did not see a link to it. Thanks very much.

Best looking Kawa ive seen especially headlamp, well done. I'm gonna swap display, so many times marking "my truck" as waypoint on trail tech voyager has benefitted. Is truck crawling distance or do I actually need help, nope I can crawl it..

Cute dog, and nice bike.

nice job ! jss

This is not bad for a KLX build. I kinda want to build it for myself

Bike looks amazing. is it possible to add a kickstart to the KLX300? Also, which other bikes did you consider and what made you land on the KLX300?

Just a suggestion, I’m buying the same bike, and will probably do the same tank. I also went to giant loop, and purchased a fuel bag. They can literally be strapped anywhere, and can conform to any area you mount it to. Very durable, and can be abused.

nice video

Great job and an awesome bike! Love the look with that headlight. This video is very helpful as I just bought a KLX 250 for my son to do adventure rides with me and I need to get it kitted out. I have a KTM 890 ADV R but I still love riding the KLX. I run the Reckless 80 on my KTM and was planning to set the KLX up with the Kriega OS as the second bike won’t need as much storage. Did you use the universal base?

The headlight you chose is fantastic and I really like the rear rack a lot too. I’d like to know how the painted plastics hold up because I have sort of a love hate relationship with the graphics on my 690 enduro r 😝. Some of them can just be peeled off but some are like cleared over WTH? Nice looking KLX 👍

Fantastic bikes. I cannot find any foot pegs in stock. I want the IMS super stocks.

Nice

Cool👍

Do a start up video to let us hear the exhaust. Lol looks sweet

Swap out the snorkel as it will breathe easier. If you don't like it, put the klx stock one back! Also, if seat is not comfy, add a gel pad for long rides and remove if you don't like. I'll bet you keep it

Air box mod was big difference for my bike. Stock exhaust but no cat took out. Runs way better.

nice

Great video! Great bike! What tires are you running? Is it the stock Dunlop D605? I'm looking at those for my bike.

That looks awesome. Also seems like you made the perfect lightweight adv bike there. This is an option we’re discussing for a friend new to the dual sport world, curious what you’re opinion would be on that? Seems like the kind of bike you could get and upgrade as you saw fit, or broke stuff…

Wonderful build! What size kriega bags are you using for daily use?

👍

Rad bike

Hi, are you still around here? I had some questions about the install.

Anyone know where to find the side stand footprint extender for this klx? Can’t find it anywhere. Thanks.

Nice looking bike!! I have a question for you, how difficult was to relocate the key switch, i have a hbd handguards install on my bike, and the key switch sits in an akward position, i want to relocate it OR use an aftermarket one but still havent figure out how it works.. My old bike Just had a couple of wires jeje, this one its a little more complicated.

Im still debating on getting the crf300 or klx300. I heard the crf is much smoother on the highway but the klx has better suspension. Have you rode the crf. Would love a comparison. Good mods btw!

Is the Cyclops light compatible with windscreens?

cool video - more please 👍47

What brand the mirror do you use?

I think there is a purge valve that opens by the header and puts unburned fuel back in circ which causes the backfiring. You can delete it for free with some hardware or buy a kit.

Personally, I like stealth so I kept the stock muffler. I can ride places and unless I am seen, no one knows I am there.

My biggest issue with this bike is that Kawasaki hosed the aftermarket tank segment with the design of the frame.

Hi there, your video convinced me to buy the cuckoo headlight and now I really feel you when you say it’s a headache. Please can you tell me How did you relocate the ignition and lowered the front fender ? Thank you! Matt

sweet bike! what brand is the rear rack??

How os the height of the bike? I'm shorter and the 35.2 seat hight is intimidating. I know you can lower the seat by 1 in. How tall are you and how does it feel?

was it a samsung?!

How do the painted panels hold up in a drop?

That headlight looks sp good! But a minute into the video, I'll pass based on your installation feedback. If you find a more plug n play option please share because the original is not a good look.

Hi...do you have a part number for the IMS Super Stock Foot Pegs?

Hey just found this channel dont know if you already fallow her but ichyboots channel on a 300 Honda Is pretty good.

2.7 gallon tank... hardly seems worth it. Why no 4 gallons?

Hey do you have instagram?
