Come hang out and ride with me at the Get On! ADV Fest in the Mojave Desert, imp.i104546.net/RyavO2

Hey Jake, thanks so much for this series! Im using your vids as a guide for my 300L mods and theyre suuper helpful and entertaining. Your handlebar video saved me about a week of swearing after which i probably wouldve taken the bike to a shop to fix my attempt at installing lol

Rubber glove works fine securing disconnected plugs. 💪

I just started watching a week ago and wasn't expecting much, but have been pleasantly surprised. I don't even own a MC right now, but am wanting a 250l, 300L or rally. I haven't ridden in 4 or 5 years and at 73, I'm questioning whether I need another. Keep em coming. Tom from north of the red river.

3:42 😄 that was a tough one to catch !

The world IS pretty crazy now Jake. Just keep on keeping on is right.

Who knew someone could make changing out tires and tubes so fun! 🤣 Awesome stuff, man!

Life is indeed a garden that needs diggin. Glad Spring is finally here in Upstate NY, I'll get to enjoy my $5+ a gallon gas. Loving this bike, Jake!

That tire machine is slick . Definitely a time and knuckle saver.

Bike looks great. Good luck on the trip!

Looks sooooo fucking sick dude. Hype to see the ADV Fest vid!!

life is a garden, we do gotta keep digging

I "enduro’d" my WR250R. Stripped as much off as I could and it'll go down trails more gnar than I'm willing to try. 270lbs ready to ride.

I once did my own tires on a GS450 and my god that tool would have made things so much easier than using my knees and feet lol

Your flash comment made me think of the end of cartoons in the late 80’s that someone (I can’t remember the name, but I think it was the creator) used like a blog.

Commenting before I see how you do with the rabaconda but because I’ve used the hell out of mine. I love it. I’ve changed 16”, 18”, 19”, and 21”. From regular dirt bike compounds to Mitas e-07 Dakar compounds(stupid thick/hard) for a KTM-890. Well worth the dollars invested.

If you're going to ride that on pavement put 2 beed lockers on it 2nd one directly across from the oem hole 1 . You will have to drill a hole but your tire will be more balanced . Usually it's spot on and won't need any wheel weights

I like the enduro build much more then any other build for this bike

That Family Guy meme in the intro was spot on. I'm a DRZ owner wanting to get into enduro, and there's no way I'm splashing out the cash for a performance enduro machine before I've tried it a bit, and I already own the DRZ 😁

See you in Mohave in April. Can’t wait to see the bike

Dig it and enjoy the fruits dear Jake.

quick tip for tire changes zip ties, on the rode flat tire had zip ties wrapped the tire up squeezing it down enough to get the tube replaced

That bead breaker is neat!

Bro... Non oring chain is a waste of money...

Life truly is a garden

Can’t wait for the Mojave trip footage

this video is an infomercial

Awesome. I have a pair of those tire irons. They work great. A must have item IMO. Glad I watched because I never heard of rim protectors. Maybe I can change my tires without scratching up my black rims! I am a good mechanic because: 1.) I'm meticulous 2.) I never claim to know it all and like to learn new tricks from others. haha

I didnt know you were a gardener Jakey haha.

We put gold chains on our Hondas around here !!!! I think I spoke on that cheesy ass red chain Jake lol 😂

Jake, maybe it would be a good idea to have some sort of nylon inserts on the rabaconda where it interfaces with the spokes? That way you can rotate the tire with a little less effort and the spokes would just glide easily rather than scratch it.

heck yeah bubs. I usually run Shinko 216MX 90/90/21 on the front tire and the Shinko 525 Cheater 120/90/19 on the rear for my dirt bike.

i bet you could get some more of those motion pro rim protectors and use them on the stalks of your anaconda tire thingy where you have the electrical tape.

"Lifes a garden, you gotta dig it."

thanks for the message man. Keep on diggin'

Keep on keepening oning my dude

Nice set up!

same tires I run the metzler back tire dose great rocks or mud.i rode some decent spots last year they held up amazing definitely had my yz426f keeping up with the 2 smokers ..

I don't ride in sand but I use o ring chains off road and they definitely last longer.

Wrong application for that chain you’ll need to lube it quite liberally every few hours if you care about wear and tear with your sprockets and the rollers in the chain. If you could care less just send it and buy new shit later. Non o ring chains are for MX bikes where your lubing the chain after a 20 minute moto. Good o ring chain would have been the go to for off-road setup. I run a uw ring on my mx bike even.

You can do enduro on any bike just takes skill. I rode with a friend doing hard enduro in the UK and his 300l got through it all only thing was the suspension which bottomed out alot on larger rock steps. The videos on my channel if anyone's curious ;)

Revzilla should buy you a New Jersey XD

Interesting tire machine .

$450 for that tire changer!? No sir

What size rim locks did you use?

แฟนคลับจากไทย✌

Just seen that tire thing in a moto mag! Looked gay do the hitch mount bike carrier next!

Well jake, let's just keep digging, cuzz i wanna know how this crf300 comes out (:

🏍💨

I would have gone with a new Oring chain and just not lubing it to keep grime off.

could you please tell us what is the exact size of thos tires?? like is the front a 90-90-21 and back a 130-90-18... ??? The reason behind this is that your new tires looks a little difrent (bigger)than the stock size and i wanna know if it is, what size is gonna fit in the swingarm... Thx!

What are you adding for power

I was considering the same tires but I was gonna do the mid/soft on the front and rear...whats the reasoning behind the soft/hard combo. Also...how does the 120/100 fit/ride? Kinda odd they offer the soft in stock size but not the hard.

So why the stock exhaust, saving that for another video?

My life's my garden, it's kind of growing or something.

I hate to be that guy, but that's not how you are supposed to change tires. The recommended method involves various mismatched irons intended for any wheel but the one you've got, ranging from tiny ineffectual ones meant for bicycles, the huge rusty one for trucks, and the horrible spoon forged onto the handle of that one monkey wrench you found on the side of the road. All of these are then inserted haphazardly, almost blindly, into the space between the tire carcass and rim before being racked around and cursed at until the job is finished or one slips out and clocks you in the face.

5:31 to 8:28, less than 3 minutes. Editing isn't real you're faster than Rabaconda

It's more like a box of chocolate.

do you know if you can use a 45 or 46t rear sprocket with the stock lower chain guide? thanks

I tried those heavy duty tubes on my drz and the fu**ing valve stem ripped right out of the tube on my front tire. Went back to normal duty tubes after that.

Heavy duty tubes are not worth the extra money. They have not preformed any better than the standard in my personal experience. One nail is still all it takes regardless if it's heavy duty or not

Seems like a lot of work to make it nearly as capable as my 465lb KTM 790 Adventure S off-road, or... heaven forbid an MX track, LOL! I would love to have you come shred some #XLMX with us at Lazy Springs MX track in Lehigh Acres, FL!

I'm sorry guy but you made two wrongs with the rear tire, one it's not DOT you'll be riding dirty with that tire. Two that tire Is way too big for that wheel, there should be an gap between the rear tire and the rear inner fender, this is why factory sizes are important. Lastly that tire will wear terribly when you hit the highway and you're gonna lose torque at the wheel with a tire that large.

Are rim locks DOT approved?

Would love to know total cost of the build?

:)

Did you put a 40T rear sprocket on?

Ayoooo

80$ wow

u need 2 mil tubes not heavy duty etc

2500 miles on a 300 lol (says me that doesn't even own a motorcycle xD)

What was the point of the fz07…?

7:41 this is what fucked my when I was changing my friends. I popped the inner tube cause of that stupid thing :/

Yeh hahahaha. Whut 😐

Your editing is like a flashy migraine mess..designed to hold kids attention....hard on adults

Man people need to grow some balls and buy bigger bikes like my Husqvarna 701, it shreds in technical terrain
