You guys will be happy to hear that I just ordered a new back tire! I went with the Kenda Trackmaster. It's still a dual sport tire but it's more dirt oriented and was only around $60! Stay tuned for the install and test video coming soon.

I was losing my mind trying to decide between the KLX300 and your videos sorted me out. Thank you!!

I love mine. In my 50s . It's fun to ride. Light enough if I drop it in the trail I can pick it up.

Jus got a 2023 loving it so far 220 miles in I'm a big guy aswell perfect for learning trails and cruising back home!!

It was cool seeing the interaction. Mod video was way cool.

This is a great bike it never lets me down such a fun machine

Random encounters make these videos so good 👌

Great video! Very informative. I was on the fence, but leaning towards a dual sport. This one was at the top of my list. I figure 90% of my riding would be on paved mountain roads, with an occasional trail ride. Now I’m thinking about buying a more road worthy bike, and possibly a used dirt bike. Probably better for my needs thanks to your video. Thanks again for the great video, and info.

I had trackmaster 2’s on my ‘22 KLX 300 and it made the bike into a beast! However, I accidentally got a bigger rear so it wouldn’t creep up hill as good and that bothered me.But it went faster on road very easy. Also it was INSANELY loud on road, like louder than the engine loud 😢 so if you ride on road a lot you won’t like it. I couldn’t get over it. So, I kept the trackmaster on the front and switched back to the 605 rear. Good setup for me. Now I’m about to get a set of pirelli MT 21’s

I only have around 200 miles on my 2023 KLX300 and just got set of Dunlop Geomax EN91 tires, I had the D605 tires on my KLX230 and now this and can tell you after a slushy, snowy & muddy Western PA ride today, I'm mounting the new tires this week. D605s are great on the road but not off-road in these conditions.

Good video thanks for making I am in the market for a dual sport, considering your klx300

Another great video GG. There's something to be said about a bike that can be picked up in the mud, on a hill in the cold. I love my KLR aka tomahawk II but picking it up is a real chore. Its 365 lbs..plus fuel.

This is so awesome, made our day!

gold guy brother 👊 i just got the 23 model and have basically same upgrades. i already put 4k miles on it lol. i have the rear and side racks from precision motorcycle racks tho. and the trex racing windshield. i havent done any performance upgrades yet other than 48 rear sprocket and some trackmasters. very interested in seeing the airbox, muffler and ejk upgrade videos. for those wondering about this bike, I love it and id argue that it definitely can be the "do-all" bike. i ride it to work, on the trails, and all around my state with camping gear and everything strapped to the bike.

68 years old klx sm all performance parts .95 maxed out stock gears Real fun

Just got mine,similar upgrades coming in the mail. I also ordered a 13 tooth front sprocket, for that lower end torque. Dont need the high end as much with what i plan to do.

My klx has almost exactly the same mods...I'd recommend the tusk D-sport tires on that bike Rocky Mountain has them in stock

thanks for the video I'm also from pa and just picked up a 22 black 300 used with 1600 its like new not a scratch I have $5250 in it tax and tag I think i did pretty good found it on marketplace

You are a great rider and video maker. The only reason you didn't get up the hill was the rear tire with no tread left, otherwise it would have done fine! I ride roads and trails with the D605 rear (about 2500 miles and it is toast) and the Pirelli MT21 front which is much better for the sand and mud. This was the combo I used on the TAT from NC to CO and it worked great. The rear D605 lasted the whole trip from NC to CO with 100 lbs of gear on the bike. I know I would have been down in the mud of MS and the gravel of OK if I had used the D605 front tire. I changed to the D606 front and rear in CO to finish the trail to OR. I rode the KLX300 home from OR to SC, taking 11 days with the Shinko E705 taking only 2 lane roads with no problems. It is a fun bike to ride, you just have to know you are not going to ride fast on the roads. I did a lot of stops enjoying the USA on the back roads. I have a Yam Super Tenere for long trips and riding fast. I will be using the Shinko 244 Golden Boy on the James Bay Highway/Trans Tagia this summer for a 3600 mile trip. I would expect to get more than 5000 miles out of the rear tire. MotoZ tires would give the best mileage, but hope you don't have a flat because the tire sidewalls are really stiff!

Great video!

That wore out tire is a great way to learn about momentum .every time you pic up a dropped bike,free school!

First thing you gotta do is change them tires on my klx 300 I installed a Motoz enduro s/t fatty on the front and the Motoz tractionator rallz in the back and when them tires broke in they work good on the road and even better on dirt.

In front of your fanclub... I don't know what to say 😂... hammer it from the beginning.........mud ice common brother...still good video.........

IRC GP 110 is an Excellent rear tyre

Old ass KLX300r owner here. You need way higher RPMs doing a hill climb like that brother. Don't be afraid to downshift on the way up! Side note, buy a hard ass full knobby DOT tire too. You don't need a Hybrid tire with the speeds you do on this bike.

Hey man, love the videos! I just got a 2023 klx 300 last month and started doing a motovlog. I’m pretty sure you’re located pretty close to me. We should meet up sometime and ride!

awesome video, also love mingo park!! are there good trails to ride out there? im considering switching from my street bikes to a dual sport.

The 250's are identical frame, wheel, motor when it comes to mod. The BIGGEST power increase u can do to these is the air box. Lid off, HiFlo Filtro filter $25, cut the back fire screen out. To fuel it buy an 02 delete for another $25, it reads prime air/fuel ratio and runs richest it can. Big low end torque/power increase, and intake will growl but only u can hear it so u are still stealthy. Cheap and easily reversible if u dont like them.

Check out the motoz tractionator enduro it..have it my wr250r and it just hooks up..and is dot

do those pegs not torque the mount a lot more than maybe it should be?

Would I pay 7k for KLX300? I did. I bought 2 of them! The DS and the SM. You can't get one bike that does it all? (Except for touring) these 2 bikes can do almost do it all! I really wanted the KTM 690, but there is no KTM dealer near me. I'd mostly have to figure out how to work on it by myself and I thought "for that price I could get a new KLX DS >and< a new SM"! So I did. One for commuting and joyriding. One for offroad and trails. Each one saves wear and tear on the other, and by learning to do maintenance on one, I also learn to do maintenance on the other. I got a hitch hauler and drive my van to and from ride locations. Able to change clothes and rest for the ride home. That goes for street group rides (SM) or trail group rides (DS). Now Kawi also has KLX230 in DS and SM, even more people can step into the same strategy.

Kawi needs to make a 450-500 CC and stick it in this bike because this is their lighter bike, which new riders, or those who use highways (freeways for you 'Muricans), on their commute. Somebody recommended to look into this bike as I'm looking into a light bike, when I get my license next year. It looks like I'll have to continue for my search for a lighter bike that handles highways properly.

I’d like to pick up a used one at a reasonable price but for now I’d probably stick with a used DRZ. Knowing how to mess with a carb is a useful “skill” and the aftermarket support is massive. If I ever saw one of these for 3-4K used, I probably would grab one -just for the better suspension and the reasonable aftermarket. I can’t justify the new price (can’t with the DRZ either, hence me getting a used one lol)

Just got quoted $6199 for a new ‘24 in MN. No fees at all. I’d pay IA tax when I bring it back and register. Can’t believe how some buyers are getting raped on price of bikes.

I am looking at my first bike soon and wonder if this fits the bill? I am moving to some land on n Texas and want a commuter that won’t get stuck if the county roads are washed out. If I went with a bigger bike, I could cruise on the highway easier, but I am a first time rider.

I hated mine. Had all kinds of issues from my gearbox around 4k. Traded it in 😢

Ah disappointing to see even with the airbox, exhaust and ejk it can only really get to 83 on the highway. Guess a big bore kit is needed to make this a proper adv bike 😕

OMG did anyone see how far that 2 place cycle carrier stuck out or was that just a optical illusion?

You just need some knobbies my dude

I think a lot of people need to hear this. If your looking for power then don't get a 300 lol

I have a Seat Concepts seat for that bike if you're interested.

My GSXR 750 HIT 87 miles in first gear, Im thinking in trade my suzuki 750 for something like this 300 but damn is just to super slow.

Note to self: don’t go trail riding with a bald tire after a thaw. 🙄

little bit more money you can get a yamaha mt 07

You know camo on bikes is a bad idea they are hard to see in the first place behind your A pillar

I bought a Klx 250 s back in 2010. Its almost identical to this klx300. It cost me 4000 € then. 7000€ now would be just a scam. And they didnt even bother to fix the shitty 2 gallon fuel tank

My son is 6'4" would this bike be to small for him?

I got my 22klx for that price by walking out the door when they first quoted me 9500 🤣

This has to be Western Pennsylvania?????

if you had better tires you would have made it.

No they charge too much today sorry but I love dual sports thou

The guy in orange is hot even without his pinky tip😂

put a 13 tooth sprocket in it!

I 've got 1 2021 & i luv it. All comparisons of CRF & KLX end down with the same result = KLX has lot gr8tr suspension. Few days ago I 've seenn1 on cycletrader for 48 hundred. BN in S Carolina. I wanted buy it but was sold. They got W800 for 65 hundred

I'm 6ft, would I look wonky on this?

our only dealer has been selling these, even prior year models, for nearly $9000 OTD. Nope.
