At 54 I bought the KLX 300R after not owning a motorcycle for over 25 years,and I love it

@Texasphotoguy 6 ай бұрын

53 and just got back into riding last year. My first bike was a KX85 in 1985, so I decided to stick with team green. I’m not disappointed. This machine is incredible for the price point. The only mods I’ve done is new pro taper bars (bent the stock ones hitting g a tree 😂) and hand guards (crushed my hand on the same tree). It’s a beast and will tractor up any hill with ease.

Love my 300r, put a 54 tooth on the rear with MX14 rear tire and it eats up trails here in Michigan, I'm right under 200lbs and so far suspension does well even in our whoops.

I can tell you I'm an advanced rider in trails some moto and insane hill climbs and single track and with the right sprockets and do not!! Lower this bike my klx300r is perfect I keep up with 450s and 250s and they can't leave me and if I'm in front they can't stay right up my tail pipe this bike is perfect for the woods and trails

@bmotomo421 6 ай бұрын

I had a 2021 model. They are way better bikes than they are given credit for. The stock suspension is actually pretty good for riders up to about 170lbs. For order of business is a fuel tuner, air filter and an exhaust system. Together they really wake up the power. Hard to find a new bike that works that well, in that price range.

You just sold me on the bike. I'm new to riding dirt bikes but have a 125 I play in my woods with and have been wanting to go up a bit. My area is just like this. So this bike is perfect. Great video!

@@Differentthingsstandup I actually ended up with the super moto version (klx300sm) and absolutely love it. I lowered the front sprocket to a 13 tooth and it’s perfect for running around town and wheelies.

Thanks for mentioning the loud pipe. If you want to make sure your kids won't have a place to ride, replace your stock exhaust. More riding area has been lost to needless noise than anything else.

Just getting back into riding and have a 22 300r, what a fun bike these are. I'll probably leave it stock since it performs well for most applications and it's super quiet.

He's got the DB insert out of that Q4, and they lose low end power with them out + are way too loud. They run better with them in on every bike Iv put them on. These bikes run so good with the oem exhaust anyway.

My brother has a 2023 and he put a power commander and a procircut full exhaust on it and it really seemed to wake the bike up.

I installed the 300 r piston,cylinder. Cams and injector on my 2018 camo 250. A power bomb front pipe and a Supertrapp muffler. The 300 r being off road and more performance than the street version. Its an animal and someday ill come across a KTM TO BEAT. THE KAWI comes on strong at 7500 to red line and cruises over 70 +. Almost as fast as my klr650 camo.

@Matthew-zw9su 5 ай бұрын

I do not know all the differences. I own the dual sport and it takes some uncorking, fuel controller, exhaust, secondary throttle plate removal, kdx intake. Mine is a tractor. I ride with intermediate riders on ktms and huskys all day long.

You mention you're a 220 lb guy, how tall are you? Just wondering for reference, I'm 200 lbs, 5'8" but my KLX300 is also the dual sport all modded out. My suspension is way too soft for me.

@chrisreese2965 3 ай бұрын

Why did the owner decide to go down in the front and not up a tooth or 2 in the back? Going down in th front is harder on the chain because the smaller sprocket had a small circumference putting more stress on the chain, wearing it out faster. If they went up in the rear it also wouldn't be such a huge difference in the way the bike "tractors" as.you like to call it.

@mxgryan 3 ай бұрын

Normally people change the fronts because it's quicker, easier and cheaper.
