Definitely the best crf300l tutorials available. Love your attention to details. Also you need some type of frame protectors, the Acerbis are quite good !
Thanks a lot, mate! Very motivating to read your comment and I'll definetely keep sharing whatever upgrades and maintenances I make on my CRF 300L here on this channel. You're right about the frame protectors... you can see I've already destroyed the side paint! I bought the motorcycle and went on only 1 trip! The paing is already gone! Thanks for the recommendation. I'll take a looking at the Acerbis protectors. Have you got them?
@@RoiaMoto yeah i tried those sold on bikerzbits but they looked horrible and felt bulky. Then i tried the stickers sold by rally raid and my boots chewed through them. Now i have the Acerbis and they seem to be the most durable. I attached them to the frame with rubberized metal wire instead of the weak o-rings Acerbis provides. Thanks again for the excellent tutorials, you deserve many more subscribers !
I just changed the oil, oil filter, oil filter gasket, and drain plug washer, on my 2021 crf 300l, I can do basic stuff, but your tutorial rally gave me the confidence to do it right, Thankyou,
Thanks a lot for the support, Thomas! That’s the plan. I’m going to share every upgrade, mod and maintenance I’m making on my CRF here on the channel. Cheers
@@RoiaMoto I am very knew to motorcycling. My son bought a CRF300L (the last one at the dealership) so I bought the CRF300L Rally. We both took a riding course and put on about 600 miles in four weeks. All the things you are teaching are things we will want to do. (oil change, tire change, and even suspension). All that is left is for you to make a user friendly video of how to upgrade the forks. Sadly the winter is coming but the upside is Spring and trail riding (check out Hatfield/McCoy trails, we live about 9 miles from them). Keep up the good work and great videos.
Hi Froboz, What I nice thing that you can join your son for the ride! Hope I can one day do the same even though I have 2 daughters :). I have already upgraded the forks, combined when I upgraded the rear shock, however I didn't record it. I took some pictures for myself for future reference. If you run into any troubles when doing the forks just drop me a message. Same here about winter. I'm actually putting more motorcycle in the garage this weekend. It's already too cold to ride.
I replaced mine with a K&N reusable filter here in the United States. I didn’t notice any performance gain, but I use them in all my vehicles because they’re reusable. Just wash with water and cleaner and oil it up. I have a truck that I put 225k miles on using the same filter. You can wash as often as you need. The first purchase is more costly, but I’ve saved hundreds on disposable filters and don’t have to track one down when it gets dirty.
Hey Brian, I’ve also used K&N on previous motorcycles. They are good mainly for the reusability but to feel the additional power I’d say is close to impossible. The gains(if any) are minimum changing only the air filter.
Thanks a lot! You will notice a substantial difference only if you are riding off-road. For road usage no real difference. The foam filter is simply easier to clean at the end of a riding day. Even without compressed air you can get a lot of dirt out from it. It’s literally two sheets of foam with different densities layered together. The original paper filter just gets clogged up much easier and is harder to clean without compressed air. So if you are going off-road, definitely recommended. The next argument is price. Here where I live I can get the original air filter for about 45€ and the Twin air (first install with the case) for 50€. However the Twin Air is reusable and can be reoiled reducing the cost over time.
Thansk a lot for your video once again. I have a question. I bought a complete exhaust Moto X and the twin air filter, i m waitinfg for them to arrive. Do you recommend to do any other modification to the bike? I saw some people make bigger holes in the air filter to take more aire inside but im not sure about that... Also some recommend to make an ecu upgrade. Thanks a lot!
Hi mate and thanks for the comment! I’m personally not a big fan of changing the snorkel and the airbox. I know there are tons of people who swear by it and very likely it does increase the power. If I was to make a power upgrades it would be a better air filter, full exhaust and professionally done remapping. What that said, it’s a hell lot of money! I’m not ready to spend that much to get extra power from CRF300L. I probably wouldn’t recommend it for the CRF300L. The thing is, whatever you do it will still be an underpowered bike. Yes, you will get extra torque and horse power with such mods but still won’t be a powerful bike. It’s a cheap reliable bike and my approach is to keep it that way. You can watch some CZcams videos of people “competing” on a straight line stock CRF with modded CRF. The modded version always wins but when you are out exploring, I really don’t believe it will be noticeable.
Thanks for your interesting video. Why did you choose this filter and not the one from K&N for example? Can you perhaps explain the difference? Thanx and Greetings................Artur
Hi Artur, I’ve used K&N filters the past with different motorcycles and no issues with them. The K&N uses a cotton filtering element while the Twin Air uses two layers of foam material. Unfortunately like most other riders, I don’t have actual data measured over a period of time to precisely justify one brand over the other. I honestly think you will be safe with both options. Both companies have a good reputation and advertise the product as being suitable for off-road usage. I’m taking their word for it. Ultimately I’ve chosen Twin Air due to better price and availability where I live. Cheers
Thanks for the quick reply. For me, off-road suitability is crucial. I thought you might have a better experience with Twin Air. But I also think that both brands are very good. I'm looking forward to your new videos..................Cheers Artur

Good how to video. Keep them coming ! 👍
Cheers mate! really nice to read that!
You should add grease to the seal on the inside of the filter cage, to insure a good seal.
Hi mate
Thanks for sharing that. Never done that so far but I’ll check it next time.
Cheers

As with all your videos, great job.

Once again than you for a clear, concise and informative video.
Hey Froboz, happy to see you here in the comments once again!
Glad to hear you like this video format.
Have you also got a CRF300L?
cheers

Thanks a lot, mate! Really happy to hear that and many more videos coming! 😁
Thanks fitted the twin air
Easy install after watching the vid
Thanks.!

thanks for the info!!

By the way… I couldn’t find the K&N version for our chase here in Europe.
How much did you pay for it ?
thanx thanx
My pleasure! Glad to see it helps other riders!
Cheers
Pleasant video, good english, thank you. Please share your minds about benefits you've figured out using this aftermarket filter.
Thanks a lot!

@@RoiaMoto How exactly foam filter need to be oiled and what oil, what frequency (km)?
I usually do a deeper cleaning and reoil it once a year. That usually means 4000-6000 km if mixed usage on and off-road.
