Fuel used on the 108km (67 Miles) test ride was 3.6L per 100km or 66mpg. I am running 14/39 gearing with a Dunlop D606 rear tyre in 120/90 18 size which makes the bike geared taller than standard.

Another interesting mod and I think you are unlocking some broader appeal for this bike. I think the 300 Rally has a lot going for it but the power was always going to be a difficult hurdle for many to overcome. I think you will give many peace of mind to make the aftermarket investment to build something the manufacturers are missing.

Thank you for sharing your experiences. It’s good to know that my decision to go with the Stage 3.0 with the 301cc kit is better for me. My performance riding in the US will be done with my KTM 500 and 890, depending on the distance and who I’m riding with. The CRF 301 Rally is perfect for all around riding in Cebu, Philippines.

I had my 300l for nearly 2 years and I loved it. But I spent so much money and time trying to get the power and suspension right in the end I finally just sold it and got a 450l. Uncorked it is such a far superior bike and I regret nothing. If it’s power you want get the 450l ecu and away you go

I have a mate who just recently bought a crashed 450RL and he's going to put the motor into his (250) Rally! It's very ambitious project and a LOT of modification is going to be needed, but he might end up with the Unicorn Rally bike we're all chasing... I'll be so jealous... 🤣

Thanks for the video, I was debating between stage 3 and 4 and this happened to be exact video I needed. Hopefully big bore kit will be back in stock soon so I can start work on this.

Great results mate seems perfect for you. will be interesting to see what you think of it in the long run. Economy given the higher revs is also a pleasant surprise. For mister slow and steady here 😅 i think the stage 3 with the 301 kit will be my perfect remedy. From my perspective though I am a bit sad as I was hoping you would put the stage 3 through its paces for a while😢 Very interesting and good fun as for the “get a real bike” people they will never understand either they are so highly skilled that they can make the big bikes sing on the trails, or they have bought into the Advertising a bit too much. I have nearly been burned at the stake a few times for getting rid of the 701 for the 300 but at the end of the day it depends on what you use the bike for.

So, you have just been getting a new ECU from 550 performance every time you made new performance mods, instead of having it reflashed? You must have changed it out at least 3 times now? This is pretty awesome.

Possible gearing experiment with the stage 4 next?? Lol so much fun thanks man!

BTW loved how you were respectful to the original dualsport[horse].

I think I will stick to my stage 2. The problem I see with stage 4 is 1) in the higher rev range > 6000 RPM, there is very noticeable vibration , 2) I have standard gearing fast enough for the freeway. I would like more low down torque. Dual sport riders are torn to some extent between enduro and dirt bike - lightweight adventure. Thanks for the update Shaun

We'd better go back to Walcha and have a drag race up that hill again....

This is how it should have been made by Honda. I’ve upgraded quite a bit and I love mine but it just lacks that bit of power my CB500x has. It might just become a project bike because of you thanks!

Look out, she's gunna blow.

24:05 well done mate ,,,but each to there own ye,

That cam does exactly what I don't want from my 300. Great for racing, pointless to backwards for fun slow med riding. The loss of low end torque will not help in tight stuff. Not for this little black duck. I am guessing great for road or desert open riding though. The woman I ride with rides a CRF230L that struggles at 100kph . If I rode with bigger bikes might reconsider. If you wanted that sort of power delivery surely it would make more sense to buy a Yammy WR250R which weights less as well?

I wonder id they could possibly get some type of reg 87 style travel gas ecu tune for the big bore idk if it be possible but that would be amazing even if its not the optimum power if we could get some more grunt it would be great

Why not just go with a KTM 350 exc-f? It's 100 pounds lighter, has 50 HP, 95 MPH top speed and a better suspension. In the end the cost would be about the same and you could always add a rally tower.

Sean, Your timing is perfect. Maverick and I have today been discussing whether I should go with Stage 3 or 4 cams and ECU for my’21 300 Rally. The 3.0 power down low is attractive but similarly the 4.0 90 mph potential is too. What rear tire size and brand plus sprocket tooth counts are you using? Also, what was your top WOT speed on level surfaces in 6th gear for both cam/ECU stage mods?

chasing the dragon now, giving up low end performance for a bit of top end..

I would be interested to see how it handles really tight single track. I am wondering if the lost mid range will make it feel like you need to rev it a lot higher and not have the down low lug.

What sat nav are you using or is it your phone?

Stage 5 will be getting a 450RL :)

Damn. I've got stage 3 in the shed ready to install in 2 weeks... I wonder if 550 would do an exchange on never installed parts??😅

What do you think about the SSS Motorcycles Tamworth ECU conversion for the 300l

Please can you tell me do you notice anymore heat coming from the engine over standard with all your mods?

Hi from NZ. I'm on my 2nd 300l now- my first did 40,000km. That was with the 87 octane stage 1 tune running the moto x pipe. Have you done any mods on your clutch? It will be interesting to see if the stock one will cope with that much power.

Do you know how much the stage 4 kit cost if you are going from stock? What about the stage 3 I assume it's slightly less?

Sean, does it perform more like a street bike engine in stage 4?

But, the crf300's engine wasn't built with the stage 4 mod and speed and high rev like this, so would you expect it to die tens of thousands of km's early?

Think you'd have more look with the horse lady 😮😊

Surely that torque loss is just mapping isn’t it?

Check the fuel usage

Mate why not just buy a 450 RL and a power commander ,,,exhauste ,doesn't warrant what you spent tuning 😊 when do you ever use 6 gear in the bush normally the first three gears unless on the flat but thats rare to what ive watched .
