New Exhaust and Seat Test + Trail Riding on the Honda CRF300L Rally

Рет қаралды 73,002

Жыл бұрын

The Honda CRF300L Rally is a great bike that can be made even better with a few performance and comfort mods. I recently added the Graves full stainless Honda CRF300L exhaust and a Seat Concepts Comfort XL seat to the bike and on this ride we're out doing some Honda CRF300L trail riding to put these new mods to the test.
Immediately I noticed a big difference with the new Honda CRF300L Rally Exhaust from Graves. Their website claims you can get 15% more horsepower with just the exhaust alone and based on the butt dyno readings, I'd say that's close to accurate. Speaking of my butt, the Seat Concepts Honda CRF300L Rally seat is a complete game changer in terms of comfort. This thing is so wide and offers all day comfort without giving up too much off road riding ability, as I tested by taking the Honda CRF300L trail riding in this video.
Riding the CRF300L off road is a dream under normal circumstances, and today's dual sport trail riding test was no exception. It was a fantastic test of the new 300L rally exhaust and seat and I have to say that both new CRF300L mods passed the test with flying colors today.

Just started watching your 7 things i wish i knew before buying a adv bike. Yes i agree. I came from riding offroad trails since i was 10 (24 now). Started on a late 80's xr100. When i was 14 i got a 2006 crf230f. Then when i was 18 i got a 2004 yz250f, still have the yz but it has sat for a few years due to trucking taking up time, not having anyone to ride with and needing new valves. Currently I have a 2018 250l with that i bought a few weeks before starting a trip with my 2010 Ford Ranger and camping gear (small lift, bumper, winch, stiffer leaf springs, rooftop tent, hitch carrier, fridge, stove, etc.) and the bike on the back, from Manitoba through ND, SD (Black hills roads are a ton of fun), NE, OK, TX, NM, AZ, NV, CA (redwoods were really cool), back through NV, now im in Utah. Ive always worn motorcross boots when riding offroad, and now with the 250l i still do when i know im going to hit some trails that day. I've put about 750 miles on the bike so far, loving it. (Did oil and filter when i got it). Part or my inspiration for the 250l was Noraly (Itchy Boots), found your channel about a week ago.

I really liked and was surprised riding my buddies 300L Rally. Good wind protection, great gas mileage, and surprisingly comfortable. Doesnt hurt it looks cool too. I was considering buying it. Cons- at 215, the suspension is laughably under damped. It felt dangerous to me offroad (whihc likely wasnt helped by the stock tires). It would need minimum springs front and rear for my weight with gear and luggage. While I would love to mod one, spending the money when my 890 ADV R does it all and is almost *done* mod wise doesnt make sense for me. I will say this... its the best beginner ADV bike the market. Upgrade the suspension, protrction, maybe steel braid the brake lines, get rackless luggage and comfort mods and live your Itchy Boots fantasy. You wont lose money buying it both due to the market and the fact its a beginner bike.

I think what you're actually feeling is the torque increase that comes in around 3600 rpm. There is really no substantial increase in HP until 6500 rpm and you ride in the lower rev range. Hardly any trail riders that have one of those bikes is going to rev the bike enough to really get any advantage from the pipe. Any street legal bike will benefit from an accessory exhaust. Factory pipes are restricted to minimize noise. You open the pipe and the bike can breathe properly but there is more noise. And the engine draws more air which makes the mixture leaner. I think the 15% claim is optimistic and I wonder if the dyno numbers are measured with the spark arrestor installed. But, the pipe is no doubt lighter so that is a big advantage. I'd keep an eye on the fuel mixture.

I've been worndering when you were going to upgrade the seat. I rode about 120 street miles yesterday on the stock seat, and it was brutal. A seat concepts upgrade is def in my future. As for the exhaust, how do you get away without a tune too? The 300s run so lean from the factory, im surprised that you can get away with it. Are you going to do the 550 Performance or something similar in the future?

Been going back and forth between the Rally and the XR650L. I like the Rally's lighting, speedometer/odometer, windscreen and USB port. I like the XR's suspension, power and reputation (also the fact that it's still made in Japan). The XR is $500.00 more than the ABS Rally still with it's age and "antiqueness". How would you compare the two? Also, does your Rally have the ABS? I haven't read much about the pros/cons of this on reviews?

"Graves sent me this because they liked the video I did in the 450l exhaust they sent me" says it all, free future products for future content. I will say Graves makes quality products BUT as lean as these bikes come from the factory to pass EPA you may get away with a slip on without mapping changes but I do not believe in a true freer flowing full system that the engine is not running dangerously lean! And the only way you can verify the HP increases of such a small amount because these bikes are such a low hp stock would be to dyno before and after install and even then usually if you get a higher rpm gain you will see a lower rpm torque loss. The added noise is making your butt dyno think it is doing better than it actually is real world I would bet.

Discount code for Seat Concepts doesn't work. Nice video, though.

I tried buying a seat using the discount code, but Seat Concepts indicated that the limit has already been reached.

I don’t like the fact that I have to sacrifice my stock heat shield for an aftermarket exhaust on this bike. I don’t like those small aftermarket heat shields that barely cover the exhaust. I will be trying to fabricate a way to retain the stock one. I’m not shocked at all that every little thing I do to this bike I feel a difference, because it is so restricted! That 12lb exhaust you removed was chocking the heck out of this motor. You should get the ECU and air box mod, it helps in more ways than one... For $150 it’s worth every penny.

@DorkintheRoad Жыл бұрын

I put the GL heat shield on mine and it's great. You can hardly see it and the bag is nowhere near the hot exhaust. I'd suggest giving them a second look. So long as your bag isn't touching the exhaust directly, you're golden.

... Same question I am seeking. I am leaning to a full exhaust system and only want to do it once. This Graves is more expensive than the Yosh and others BUT, it is does make a noticeable difference I may spend the extra $$. I DO NOT want to get into re-tuning, etc. . Jeff .

@PeteLeuenberger 8 ай бұрын

@@240LTS Yeah. But in the meantime, I found out that it is quite a bit louder than the stock exhaust. I am now looking at the Moto X exhaust, but getting confused between the different versions.
