@@klxcountry In eastern NC, pretty much in a swamp 😂

@@Criscitiello same here in central Grorgia!! Love the bikes, earlier versions of mine.

@@Duplexpine It's an 07, I've had it about a year and a half and it's been great so far. Could use a little more of a hit down low and a bit stiffer suspension but it's a good woods bike

@@jimh2061 Maxxis maxxcross IT, they seems to be pretty good all rounders

@@andy3d1 The WR is definitely the most capable as far as speed and jumps go, but if you want a chill, easy to ride bike with plush suspension to cruise around on the KLX takes the cake. The DRZ was a little jerky down low (carb needs some tuning) and felt the heaviest but it is still a lot of fun out in the open.

Eastern NC

@@Criscitiello ok thanks for the response and awesome bikes and riding 💪

Where do you live because that's cheap

@@Duplexpine They are all long, long gone. Didn't last long. I'm in the northeast.

Yeah it's rewarding after all the work it took to make them 👍

The DRZ is a nice bike, I would ride it more but it's my dad's and I want to keep it in good shape for him. The grass is a job and a half in the summer, I help my dad cut it when I'm not working. We use a Scag Tiger Cat with a 61" deck, it gets the job done pretty fast 👍

My 07 has been a great bike for me so far, very maneuverable in the woods, soft suspension and it will happily chug along at low rpm without stalling too easily. It's not a race bike or dedicated hard Enduro machine, but you can still try to ride it like one 😀

@@Criscitiello cool. I think that fits me…wanting to pretend I am hardcore even though I am really not! Great content thanks…

Yeah 😄 So far it's taken me about a year to cut and map out these trails, mostly just using a pair of loppers and occasionally my chainsaw. If you're in eastern NC and wanna lend a hand sometime that would be rad 😀

The latest gen 300R does, mine is an 07 kicker

I try to go fast sometimes 😅

Thanks man, I love these woods. I use a GoPro 8, most of the time it's set to 4k 30fps with hypersmooth (image stabilization) on.

It's a lot of fun to row through the gears in it. I want to get some heads and a cam next but don't want to lose too much streetability

That sounds pretty rowdy, what rpm does your converter stall to?

@Criscitiello it made peak power at 7600 RPM I leave off the 2 step on the food brake at 3000 RPM and shift at 8000 RPM. Was running a 8" ATI 5500 RPM race converter but wasn't that streetable so now run a 9.5" 4200 EPM FTI street race converter it's slower with that converter but more streetable well as streetable as you cam get with a .630 lift side roller cam lol. There are plenty of videos of it on my channel

Thanks :) There's about 30 acres of woods but I can only get through some sections of it, there are some pretty large swampy/boggy areas out here. I do 95% of my cutting with Felco 231 curved anvil loppers and the rest with a little echo chainsaw. Lots of work but it's always enjoyable and very rewarding 👍

For chill trail riding in the woods the KLX feels right at home, my only gripes are the soft suspension and slow power delivery down low when you want to really get after it. Out in the open the WR450 and DRZ are more fun because of the extra grunt but the WR felt more dialed than the DRZ in the woods. The WR has been a pretty reliable bike for my sister, it's only needed a battery and carb rebuild so far.

@@Criscitiellohow much do you weigh ?

@@johnmclaughlin4802 195 lbs

@@Criscitiellothanks 👍

Acerbis X-Factor handguards 👍

@@Criscitiello are they universal or bike specific?

It's full on mud soup in that spot now... The walk was about half a mile, not too far 😂 The only trick that seems to help me starting when hot is to not touch the throttle at all until it fires up and the idle stabilizes, but it usually doesn't give me much trouble.

Gotcha. Thanks! @@Criscitiello

Mine is an 07, it's a fair bit lighter than the latest generation. No battery, electric starter, or EFI on mine. I could see a 2020 feeling heavy in comparison. After riding mine for almost a year, I'm beginning to crave a bit more power out in the open and slightly stiffer suspension 😎

@@Criscitiello more power is always nice. a good replacement to fit those needs and your type of riding might be the kx250x [if youre stuck on kawi] but itll be more maintenance. part of the appeal of the klx300r is the low maintenance. its like the 400ex of two-wheelers

I've probably put 40-50 hours on it since I got it. The KLX is a lot of bike for the money, and after riding one for a while you'll develop a better idea of what you want out of your next bike 👍 For me, the suspension is a bit soft, it could use a bit more punch off idle and it can be twitchy at higher speeds due to the short wheelbase.
