Hi Marco, I'm glad to hear your bike is performing well now and that you are enjoying it.

Hi Jeff, Thanks for checking back in and your very kind words. I'm glad to hear that I have helped you with working out what mods.

@@ShonkyProductions also meant to add, if you have a reddit or ever get one, join the crf300l subreddit. An awesome community and your input and experience would be awesome to see on Reddit!

@@jeffpadgett1675 Ok, I'll take a look. I've never used Rddit before.

Hi, is your bike stock 286cc or big bore? Im also thinking to do some power mods.

Thanks Kiwi Adv, I am madly changing tyres and servicing the bike this weekend. The racing starts in 7 days!

Also check out Chronicals of solid on his CRF300L unicorn build. Just another good Aussies content and don't forget Dave and Clubbie from MADTV project rooster

@@michaelanderson3771 Yep, Solid is really good value.

Haha... I don't this Dave will ever retire his 990, but I may be able to keep up now! Honda could easily build it like this.

Rattletrap! Well I never… 😂

@@2000jago hehe, well truthfully she does rattle some times when it's cold... hydraulic cam chain tensioners!

Great work. It's not too hard, but good preparation helps. Let me know what you think when it's all back together.

Hi LBD, thanks for your comments. I will defiantly do some follow up videos on the mods with general trail riding / dual sport in mind. As for the costs, I'll keep a tally and include it in that video.

Haha... let's hope so!

You will really like the power up kit. It makes the bike so much better.

Yes, I'll definitely do that once I'm back home from the racing.

Looking forward to it. Really on the fence about those mods since I daily it about 1,000 miles a month.

@@marcochavanne hopefully next week or two I'll get a chance to get out and do a review for trail/adventure riding with these mods.

That's great. I really liked the Starcross 5 and hoping the 6's are just as good.

@@ShonkyProductions I'm eager to find out! Would love to see a "tire recommendation" video from your years of riding and on what bikes...... that would help a lot of people out. Especially the dual sport folks

@@joellaurin9007 Great idea, I'll see what I can an do when I'm back from the race.

@@ShonkyProductions yes! Have a great race! 👍

Thanks, I like that we can all share our knowledge and help each other out. I've learnt from other videos, so I like to give back.

No, you didn't.

​@@JESSIEJAMES-yz7qj y do you think so?

So far, so good under racing conditions. Pulls hard all the way to the rev limiter!

@@ShonkyProductions I bet, you placed really well but I am sure that is due to a large part on your riding skills well done mate

Great idea. I'll do some roll ons with bikes on my next trail ride.

That's great, you will really like the improvement.

If you are prepared to do the work, definitely go for the stage 1.5 straight up. Saves you doing things twice when you want more top end power.

Thanks mate. I'm off to race in the Sunraysia Safari next week, so stay tuned to see how I go.

Hi Daniel, thanks for watching. At least you will have worked out what mods to do when your bike arrives.

@@ShonkyProductions hahah very true mate right on gr8 video looking forward to the Mildura race my old stomping grounds beautiful place the mighty river

Part numbers would be great

Thanks Tony, I hope you get your bike soon.

@@ShonkyProductions so do i i got rid of my africa twin great bike but just to heavy.

Thanks Matt.

I'll try to take it out tomorrow or next Saturday for a quick spin on the freeway.

There are a few good instal videos out there. Look up @aarong-muppetstyle7241

I don't think Jake had the 550performance ECU. You need the ignition modified to make more power/torque, not just fuel. I don't think he changed the intake manifold either. Just adding the cams will not help if you haven't changed the restrictive intake manifold.

@@ShonkyProductions I know for sure he modified the air box quite a bit. Not sure about the ECU, but i think he did... I think the ECU, air box, and pipe combo is where your feeling most of your improvement from ...

@@airadaimagery692 No, I've tried ECU, open airbox and full exhaust before. I've been running that for the last 6 months. The CBR300 cams and intake are what makes the difference with the corresponding performance tune.

@@ShonkyProductions a significant difference? What’s the cost of the Cam mod?

@@airadaimagery692 waste of money and time.

The airbox actually supports a lot of other parts of the bike, so it needs to be quite strong.

Do you think the (currently sold out) high flow airbox tube sold by 550 also requires modification? Loving the vids 🙏

@@garfishahmed I think it's the same intake tube that I used. It's a larger diameter tube, so it needs a larger hole on the airbox to fit it.

@@ShonkyProductions wonderful thank you and love your work

Where in the rev range are you getting the vibrations? Yes, I modified the exhaust baffle to make it quieter. Also, there are several versions of the Moto-X exhaust, I have the longest muffler that make to keep the noise down.

@@ShonkyProductions hi, was getting vibs between 6 & 8k. So much so that it gave me a bad earth on the battery. I’d just fitted a lithium one when adding the stack so possibly was lose…maybe. I have since removed the 3 bolts holding the battery tray to the air box and it running great now. Same as stock vibration. Battery is so much lighter so the two tray bolts to the frame is fine I feel. I suspect the stack needs twisting a bit more for true alignment with throttle body….but loving getting out there to much to strip,it down again. I have the v3 moto x, feeling it’s a tad to loud so might have to fine a db solution also. Run’s crappy with motox spark arrestor or db killer.

Yes, torque is increased throughout the rev range over standard. You can just get the Stage 1 ECU for increased torque without having to install the CBR300 cams.

Yes, when I get back from the race I'll get some dyno time and see what it has.

I'd be really interested to see that. I sent my 550 performance ecu back as with stock everything but the exhaust,performance testing had it significantly slower than stock.

@@brucerossonthetube was that the stock improved tune or the Stage 1 tune?

@@ShonkyProductions Stge 1

@@brucerossonthetube Yes, the Stage 1 tune really needs a free flowing air filter to work best. Maybe the stock improved would have worked better for you.

You will probably feel more torque/power down low. I like the taller gearing, (14/38 or 15/41) because it spreads out the power and lets you hold each gear longer.

@@ShonkyProductions what made you change over to 15/41 over the 14/38?

@@luke3892 better sprocket life at the front and wanted just a fraction more power/torque in 6th gear on the freeway.

Thanks, I made the hole slightly larger and twisted it around to get a good angle. I only needed to fill a slight gap with epoxy. Bell is all good inside. Thanks. I need to catch up with you and Aaron after my race for a ride.

Thanks

Supersprockets. I get mine from MXstore here in Australia.

I haven't dyno'ed the bike yet, but I plan on doing that soon.

I used a two part araldite and just cut the hole slightly bigger than the new intake. You need to make sure the intake is in the right position because the angles are different between the CBR and CRF airboxes.

@@ShonkyProductions awesome thank you

I'm still running the standard slipper clutch. I haven't had any problems with it, even loaded up through the Simpson Desert. I'll be giving it a good workout this week, so I'll report back after the race. Thanks for your encouragement.

@@ShonkyProductions no probs Sean, I've just realised I've unsubscribed from you for some reason - fat thumbs more than likely - only a few vids to catch up on though.... take it easy dude...

@@steveh100 Thanks Steve, good to have you back.

@@steveh100 Thanks Steve, good to have you back.

Yes, it's a Super sprockets. They use the same sprocket as XR250/400

I used the CBR cam

Hi mate, thanks for your comment. I have a Ford FG ute, but it's the same tray dimensions as any Ford Falcon ute. The bike fits in perfectly when put diagonally in and you can close the tailgate as seen in my video. I see you ride the Kawasaki Versus, you will enjoy the more off road capabilities of the CRF 300 Rally and the power should be very similar to what you are use to.

@@ShonkyProductions thanks mate, good to know re the Ute. I have just traded in the Versys was my 1st bike which lasted a year of fun then have made the move to the Honda which I originally wanted. Power is similar, Versys more a sports bike that goes on light trails. Honda is more me. Be keen for a ride sometime, I’m in Canberra or can meet up in Syd

@@freshanything6629 Cool, I'll be heading back to the Brindabella's hopefully in the next month. Maybe you could meet us there...

@@ShonkyProductions yes absolutely 👍 flick me a message when you know your dates and I can plan to meet you there

might be easier if you email me your number. my email is located in the "About" info on my channel.

@@davidcucanic3891 yes. Cut off just inside the airbox and added an extra snorkel.

We don't have the catch can in Australia.

@@ShonkyProductions ahh, right, that makes sense! Thanks for putting this video together. I may do a 301 kit with the race cams one day.

It's an "Akropovic" muffler that I custom fitted.

I did the airbox mod myself. Not too hard, but a little time consuming because you need to remove the airbox.

Standard CBR cams. I hear more gains can be had from custom cams.

NO, with the 550performance tune you actually gain low end torque over the standard setup and gain lots more up high. The standard bike is tuned very lean to pass emissions test around the world.

@@ShonkyProductions Thanks. I really do need to stop looking at KZfaq videos of mods...

Hi Stephen, With the long UNI filter pre-filter, I don't put it inside the airbox snorkel. I place it on the outside of the airbox snorkel... so that is doesn't restrict air flow through the snorkel.I also run 2 x airbox snorkels in the top of my airbox.

Not sure mate, I just got the ones that were recommended to me.

Thanks mate, no that's a spare muffler I had in my shed. I had to custom mount it. I liked the look of it , but it was a bit too loud for me.

I’ve been considering getting a secondhand wr250r, but the price for one secondhand is the same as a 300 Rally new. I used to have a wr250r, and it’s a great bike but have to rev the crap out of them on the highway for hours at a time

Conpletely different bikes for different purposes. Ignorant comment.

550performance sells them. But I will be brining some into Australia and selling them through the CRF250/300L & Rally Faceboook page.

@@ShonkyProductions Awesome as I'm thinking to add it to my DRZ

Sunstar for the 15t and SuperSporcket for the rear. I'll put some links in the description when I get a chance... busy with bike prep at the moment.

@@ShonkyProductions Yeah I fitted one of those Sunstar 15T drive sprockets, I'm assuming you had the same issue I have with fitting the plastic drive sprocket cover back on, attached to that plastic is a half round metal support ring which interferes it seems at the top and bottom where it needs to slip over the highest points of the chain links, I have marked two areas that I will die grind metal off that support ring so once over the chain side links, it should then align with the centre of the chain clearing the chain rollers by a greater distance than the side links, so less fear of parts contacting. Luckily, allowing the rear axle to slip forward to it's minimum travel, this was just enough to get the sprocket in without removing the rear wheel axle. I checked and got a reference of the original chain slack ( brand new bike ) before fitting and replicated that after the new sprocket was in place. Sunstar 15T sprocket Part No. 36115 for those interested. Just wanted longer legs for the highway as I have 550ed it.

The modified airbox lid is sold through 550performance.

You can get the complete airbox door from 550performance.

See the 550 Performance website for dyno results

22% power and 11% torque increase with those mods. Now much more with Stage 3 mods.

@@ShonkyProductions that's decent.. thank you for the reply
