@@darkcanyon8648 For non performance stuff, it's higher handlebars (I'm 6'5), hand guards, skid plate, and radiator guards. For performance stuff, it's new stiffer springs for my weight and riding style (200+ lb without gear), slip on exhaust, air box lid removed, and EJK fuel controller. The fuel controller is super important, not only will you get more life out of the engine. They come super lean from the factory to meet emissions requirements.
Nice bike. I have been contemplating getting a 300r. They are about $4k used in Oregon right now. I need something to follow my small children around. Something that doesn't require a lot of maint and has fuel injection and electric start. I need a short first gear as well.
You literally just explained why I bought this bike. I have a 7 year old that is cruising a CRF50 and I wanted something to cruise behind him. I love the fuel injection and electric start! I love the KLX300R as its really low geared so I can just put behind my kid. It lugs so well that I can still get out and do some single track trail riding and go anywhere my brother does on his KTM XC-W 350. Plus the KLX doesn't break the bank since you can get them for relatively cheap.
That's great. My 6yo son is also on a Crf50. My 12 yo son is on a crf125 and is just as fast as me on trails. I still have to help him through the really narly stuff. We were out riding last weekend and it sure would have been nice to have estart and FI. My old KDX250 runs well but still needs carb adjusting now and then. How is the transmission on the 300r. Any false neutrals, does it click into 2nd and 3rd easily?
I bought a CRF110 in anticipation of my 7yr old growing in to it. Getting out riding with the family is always a blast! E-start is especially awesome when trailer riding. Especially when you're a novice like me. I'll admit I don't have a bunch of experience of different bikes. I hit a false neutral every once in a while(maybe 1 or 2 times per 5 hour trail ride) but I have always chalked it up to me being a relatively inexperienced rider. I have always been a big fan of my bike! I would suggest it to anyone
They are the perfect Dad Bike. Bullet proof design, motor/chassis been around since '95. Probably only needs a $20 13t sprocket really. Great power, smooth controls, awesome suspension.
100% agree. This bike chugs awesome! Probably my favorite thing about this bike is that it is very predictable. Very linear power band so I know exactly what I'm getting when I twist the throttle. Makes trail riding, especially when going over roots and rocks so much easier. Thanks for watching. Do you have this bike as well?
What I can recommend especially for the majority of everyone watching is to record in 4K which i believe your doing and render your videos in 1080p the way it encodes it has less pixels being shown and looks more like it does when you watch the raw footage from a editing software. Hope this helped
I run Renthal Ricky Charmichael bend handle bars. They are the fat bars 1 1/8". Then I have Cycra Pro Bend handle bar guards. I put both of those on myself after buying the bike.
Totally agree quality wasn't quite there. I have found that if I change the settings on my computer/phone to show the video at higher quality this video ends up looking a lot better, you might try that. It's my first video and I even asked in the comment section for tips on getting higher quality. Any tips? I have made some changes and feel like my videos are coming out more crisp. Thanks for watching though!
I have to apologize to you,, I thought it was the quality of your video when in fact it was my week signal I had at the time I was watching. I learned a valuable lesson n hope I can remove what's left of my foot from my mouth. Sorry guys.
I have the dual sport version and absolutely love it. It's the chugging champ for sure.
It's an awesome bike isn't it?
Where do you ride mostly?
300r here as well.
Keep chugging and work that clutch.
I have a lot to learn about riding dirt bikes, but it sure is a blast and the 300R is a perfect bike for it! Thanks for watching!
Looks like a nice area to ride! I have had my 300R for a few weeks now and love it. Needed to do some mods to suite me better, but nothing crazy.
What mods did you do?
I love my bike. I have done some small mods (handle bars, headlights) but nothing big.

That all makes sense. I havent really made any performance changes yet. I'm also very average at 6 foot even and 173lbs.

Man that thing tractors is pretty good
I do love this bike! Thanks for watching!
What do you ride?
I have a kdx200 1996 and I had a 2000 xr650l I had to sell that one to pay some bills I really miss it and I'm working on restoring my kdx200
I really want the klx300r for trail riding
Yea the KLX300r is perfect for trail riding! It does everything I need it to do and costs half as much as a KTM or Husqvarna
Impressed with the chugability of this bike. Thanks for sharing your ride. What do you like most about this bike?

Does anyone have any tips to get video quality higher on CZcams uploads?

Thanks for the tip! I need to get back out and get more footage
Were is this at love the video 🤙🏻
South Eastern Utah. Thanks for watching! Where do you ride?
Nice trail, the 4 wheelers haven't destroyed it. Where is this?
Southern Utah. It's an awesome trail. Where do you ride?
@@darkcanyon8648 Ontario Canada.
I want to get up and ride some trails in Canada. I have watched a few CZcams videos of trails in BC and they look awesome!
What handlebar / handguard combo are you using?
I run Renthal Ricky Charmichael bend handle bars. They are the fat bars 1 1/8". Then I have Cycra Pro Bend handle bar guards. I put both of those on myself after buying the bike.
@@darkcanyon8648 What bar clamps? Are those the pro taper 7/8 to 1 1/8?
I'll have to double check when I'm around my bike, but pretty sure I did pro taper bar clamps
North Georgia .
I have spent some time near Homer GA but haven't riden out there yet. Hopefully some day!
Complete waste of my time watching this blurred by water I guess on your go pro

IF ITS A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME DON’T WATCH THE VIDEO AND DON’T COMMENT. No one needs your negativity.

Appreciate the apology. The foot in mouth happens to all of us.
Thanks Logan for back up. I will readily admit I want to up my quality on videos but always a work in progress.
Gear down man
Thanks for the tip. New rider, so any tips help.
I'm picking up this bike in a few days at the dealer. I plan on putting a big rear sprocket on.
I do love my KLX. It's been an awesome bike so far.
So far the only things I have added were some head lights and a new handle bar.
