- Does the Honda CRF300L has enough power to ride deep sand on stock tires?
#HondaCRF300L
I had my first 1000 kilometers 600 mile service at the Honda dealer yesterday and today it's my first real off-road ride on the CRF 300 L.
Today it's me on Honda CRF300L, Filipe on KTM 690 Enduro Rally, Hélder on KTM 790 Adventure R,
Nuno on Yamaha T7 and Pedro on the Suzuki DRZ400.

I really enjoyed your video. We have almost no sand where I live but plenty of mud! It produces it's own set of fun and challenges! Thanks for sharing. I'm loving my 300.
I'm loving it also! Amazing! Mud is quite challenging! We have a lot of mud here in the winter :) /Rui
Glad to see this little devil in action on the deep sand 😈☠️🏜️ and also that our brother Tusken Rider is back!! 💪😎
We were only missing the famous "Marreiros Attack!" /Rui
Awesome assessment of sand riding at the start 👍 Sand is my favourite surface to ride on, challenging and rewarding. Most of my videos feature sand riding on my stock, except tyres, 2017 CRF250 Rally. I find 2nd best for the real soft stuff, but as you say in big whoops the suspension can cause issues. Always chasing sand. 👍
I have suffered in sand because of suspension being too soft. :) /Rui
Hahaha. Your channel was the first one I thought of when I read the thumbnail for this clip.
I came to the comments to suggest he watch your videos.
Your comment was the first one I saw. haha.
From a fellow south Australian adventure rider. (If you want to master sand, ride in South Australia)
@@duemoto1683 😂 yes a constant battle between fear and fun.
@@ADVENTUREISCALLINGOFFROAD nice video and totally agree with you, bike has enough power but had to upgrade the suspension after riding on sand twice and being exhausted working with the soft stock suspension. Went with the Rally Raid level 2 both front and back since I'm 85 kg and now I can better keep with my buddies on their larger KTMs
Agree, the little red is amazing ! I love mine on top of our romanian mountains ! Great video !
Thanks, this bike is amazing for the price. /Rui
I just got my 300L. The one thing I noticed about it is the gears are very specific. You need third gear in the dirt. You have to wind third in the dirt and it does well. The stock tires is the other issue. They are good for dirt so far from what light use I have tried. Not bad for stock, but there are better tires for deep sand but do you buy tires just for that? You just find the best tires for your type of riding and that will make a difference. It's never the bike. It's the skill of the rider, understanding the strengths of the bike to get through the course and finally the tires you use.
Yeah stock tires are not that bad but for deep sand tracks better buy real off road tires. I ended up buying Metzeler MC360 mid soft, amazing tires for loose surface's. Next videos will start to use them. /Rui
Give your shock 3 turns to the right and it will fix your soft suspension. I did 4 turns and feels great, night and day difference. I weigh 205-210 lbs. I'm guessing you're lighter than me, so play with it 3 turns or maybe 2. Complete turns from where it is stock. There are marks on both rings.
Will try next week. /Rui
Thanks. I need to do that.
😂😂😂You can't change the spring rate of a linear coil with a preload adjustment. It's a constant rate throughout deflection. The shock is just as soft as before... cause it's just a preload adjustment.🤷
Looked like you boys had a great time, good riding! Those KTM ate that sandy hill for breakfast! Hope your friend recovers well :D
Oh yeah! Was an amazing ride! Shame Tusken got injured but meanwhile he has had a record recovery and it's back on the trails. Those KTM are monsters. Need to buy new air filter /Rui
@@ADVENTUREISCALLINGOFFROAD Excellent news for your friend. Haha too much sand in the filter! Good going mate :D
Loving the videos!! 🙌 Beautiful places.. I’m hoping to get over to Portugal next year for the ACT. 😀
You will love the ACT! :) It's absolutely awesome, trails, landscapes, etc. Even the tarmac sections are amazing. Did you check our ACT videos? /Rui
@@ADVENTUREISCALLINGOFFROAD yes, I try to watch all your vids!! 👍😀 The ACT ones are great 😎🤙
ACT videos are my favorite series on the channel! awesome ride! /Rui
Loved 2 ride with you, some sections do not look familiar 2 me... Nice video 👍
My pleasure! Hope we can ride again soon! All sections are around Costa da Caparica, Apostiça, Lagoa and Praia da Foz. /Rui
Great video. Yeah, the trick to riding in the sand is to keep your weight back on the rear tire while standing and ride as fast as you can without crashing, lol...
Thanks Steve! I'm trying to improve the "without crashing" part :) /Rui
Outstanding video! 👍
Thank you Motoric! /Rui
The trick to riding sand is speed and be on the throttle steer with the rear we say in Michigan that’s all we have sugar sand.
Hello, thanks for the video. I never saw a review of the 300l on sand.
I´m thinking on buying a 300l . I´m from Argentina, here you have the xre300, that on papers seems to be kind of similar.
I was looking for something more offroad, that s why I like when you enter the sand =)
Which was your old bike?
I had a CB500X Rally Raid. 300L struggles a bit on deep sand but with good tires if you don't let go of the throttle she does fine. /Rui
Tusken is back!!
Good luck on your recovery!
@@seekadv8066 thanx!!!
Thank´s for this beautifull video
Thank you for the support Johnny! /Rui
awesome,cheers from australia
Thank you so much Roger! /Rui
@@ADVENTUREISCALLINGOFFROAD no worries,I've had a rally on order since may :)
You already have it? /Rui
@@ADVENTUREISCALLINGOFFROAD Na im still waiting:) dealer has no idea when will arrive ,maybe not even this year he said , ill just wait for the call,I have a Africa Twin to ride :)
Ohh. But it's worth the wait! Amazing bikes! Rally was not even released here in Portugal. No one knows why. The AT it's not so bad while you wait 😎😂 😉 love it. /Rui
Novice, but I’m curious how u had issues with the gears when that’s something you’re in control over?
Was just because it was unfamiliar. It just need getting used to and needed to adjust a bit the sift pedal. I was also using Forma Adventure as I didn't want to use my MX boots before I get some frame protector so I don't scratch the frame. Love the gearbox now. /Rui
Went to buy one last week. No stock until March. They wont even take my money for a pre-order.
I have a friend that just ordered one here in Portugal. Everything went normal, paperwork, down payment, etc. /Rui
Sand riding a climbs are not about power (unless you are highly skilled rider and want to go very fast).
It's about skills, experience and weight of the bike.
Boas para passar tracks do wikilock para GPS tens de pagar o wikilock?
Não, faço download no wikiloc do GPX e uso o OsmAnd para navegar o ficheiro GPX. /Rui
💪😉
Duros! :) /Rui
Não tenhas vergonha em falar português... Eu estou a espera para 2022 "aparecer versão rally"que vai ser a minha companheira futuramente
Fala em português e os outros são 🥜 grandes viagens e bons vídeos !
Nenhuma vergonha em falar em Português. 90% dos videos são em português e mesmo nos que são em inglês tenho o cuidado de meter a localização onde são filmados, falar de portugal, das nossas paisagens e trilhos lindos, das nossas gentes, etc. /Rui
Acho que há uma razão para a Rally não estar a ser comercializada em Portugal: preço chave na mão iria ser perto dos 7000€. Provavelmente é demasiado para o nosso mercado, mas ainda tenho esperança que venha. /Rui
Ora vai te deitar!!
Já na cama! :) /Rui
OUpasss UM TUGA A FAZER VIDEOS EM ENGLISHHHHH
Tem ser, mas falado em portugês e com legendas em Português (sempre). /Rui
Wrong CRF, try to do that on a CRF250r and see the brutal diference😎
Oh yeah!! The R's are in a different league :) / Rui
The 250r is a strictly off-road bike and isn’t street legal. Your comment is ignorant and irrelevant.
