Props to you for riding that good and fast on the stock IRCs! The first time I took my 300l on a trail I knew I had to change them right away. I put some tusk d sports on and I’m pretty happy with off road and road performance. Great video keep up the good content!
Thanks! They were definitely not amazing off-road in terms of overall grip, but they were predictable... even if it's predictably mediocre :D I think "predictable" is kind of the theme with the 300L in general :)
You might laugh, but this is the bike I'm leaning towards. I'll need to do a few mods, hand guards, skid plate, rad guard, bigger fuel tank, foot pegs and of course suspension and a better seat. Once done you have a reasonable dual sport that's long range, crazy reliable, oil changes every 10k kms, and barely capable of highway speeds. In the Philippines it will run about 6.5-7k CAD, the parts and the bike are a bit cheaper there. The high seat height, ground clearance, low weight and and especially the range is very nice. It's 25 kms to the nearest gas station. Plus it's appropriate for my skill level lol. Nice riding and thanks for the honest review 👍
Honestly if I wanted a dual sport for longer trips or general exploring, especially outside the US - this bike would be high on my list. Cheap, reliable, low maintenance. Compared to my KTM 350 or even something like a CRF450L or Yamaha WR250R, the CRF300L is also much more relaxing and easier to ride.
Only modification on those bikes were the hand guards. Everything else completely stock - suspension, tires, everything... even stock (lack of) skid plate :D
Horses for courses, but the CRF 300L is definitely an awesome bike to explore on. Surprisingly nice on the highway too, super smooth! As long as you're not asking it to go super fast obviously.
It’s my dream to ride this same route on my fully modded 300 Rally. BC is so beautiful.
It really is! I'm hoping to come back soon and do more exploring.

@@DmitriyAdv yeah I agree 100% they were predictable until you hit sand or some what deep mud
Awesome trails! Excellent!
Thanks! 👍

Stock suspension?
