I've got a 22....air box mod,Pro Circuit exhaust, EJK tuner,pair valve deleted, aluminum bars with full wrap hand guards, gold mx chain( lighter than the oring), 1 tooth larger rear sprocket. It's a GREAT bike now
I have the 2020 model and love it! Before I got it I rode a 230 and there is a big difference between the two. It’s one of the smoothest bikes I have ridden!
@ I still have both bikes since I’m still fairly new to single track. I take the 230 when I know the trail is tougher. When I gain more confidence on the 300R it’ll be my primary bike.
@ yea man that’s cool! I plan on getting a matching battle gray 110 eventually just to mess around on in the yard and ride alone with my daughter on her Polaris Outlaw 70cc
@ my dad has 6 acres and some atvs ,I normally fly down there tho. I did drive once with a trailer and my street bike years ago it was a long drive haha
Im visiting my folks over in Daytona in January and might check it out! Do you ever ride in Georgia or NC or SC? Looking for places to stop on my drive down from Vermont.
@@romand123I just ride around here unfortunately with work and family stuff when I do travel I normally fly. But check it out if you do happen to drive by.
Bought my son a new 2024 one, definitely a great trail bike lugs and putts like a 2 stroke but it is definitely heavy, once u lay it down in the trails you will notice it 😂 even compared to my 450x its about 50 pounds heavier
New rider, I bought a Honda crf150RB thinking a smaller bike would be easier to learn on. I hated that bike, it was crazy fast, couldn’t go slow on it, couldn’t ride trails well at all. Does this bike allow you to just putt around if you want too?
@@trout7454 absolutely yea it’s pretty much stall proof 2nd gear is great.. you can really putt along slowly if you want. I’d look at this or the klx 230R , sit on each one and see how you feel on it. The price difference is around $500 between those two options.
@ yeah I as going to buy the 230r until I saw your videos, and subscribed. I was worried, I’m 6ft 1” 190 pds. Would the 230 be too small? I’d line to buy once
@@lennykibbs260 I’m pretty sure you do. Ive had people say you do, someone said you don’t. I’m going to register and insure bike just in case lol no plate tho
@@VTECH650 it’s a great location, I can’t say honestly it would all depend on the police that day, and as long as you’re riding respectfully and responsibly with the proper gear I’m sure they wont hassle you. But I’m sure if you’re riding crazy fast and littering they’ll fine you. Can’t speak on everyone’s experience out there so don’t take my word on that.
@ I did see a new kx300 looks like same motor on aluminum frame and 5 speed transmission, don’t think the US is getting it. It might be available to you guys.

@@jameswampler3135 sounds fun! Full exhaust or just the slip on?
@backyard_outrider ... slip on.....I researched it and the headpipe was fine and no big gain to replace it
@ sounds good?
@@Backyard_KLX....sounds awesome!

@@KylerDye that’s great! I’m sure the 230 is fine for a first bike, I’m glad I went with the 300R. Do you still have it?

Bike looks good!
Thank you!
I trail ride and ride with a few others that have yz250f with mods. I go up and over the same terrain as them, and seems with less effort than them.
Yea man it’s a solid bike I’m very happy with it.
Come to croom in Fla this winter when your weather is crappy😮
@@SLSLSL-u8v it’s been 75 + 80 this week! Crazy weather for Nj this time of year. I have family down in Florida by there haha weekiwachee

Had the exact same opinion on mine. Cheap & easy to mod for great performance, but the weight was it’s downfall
Had a 2020 I miss this bike now

@@trout7454thanks I subbed back, just a heads up plan to swap out the footpegs immediately if you’re that tall, not a dealbreaker but just a heads up.
Bro una pregunta ese modelo de kx 300r es de mantenimiento por hora o por kilómetros
@@NicolasRivero-se4zf esto es por hora
@Backyard_KLX aa ok muchas gracias
Good choice love mine ……get a skid plate and better tires
Yea that’s a good idea! Thanks man! It’s a great bike I’m very happy with it.
@ so I went with the ricochet skid plate,Tusk emex T35 tires,stock sizes and probably the most important super stock foot pegs from IMS
@ sounds good! And yea foot pegs definitely have to be switched out, feels like I’m standing on toothpicks
you don't need to be plated down there? I ride T Byrne state forest and need to be plated,, if that's the case then the hell with T Byrne
@@lennykibbs260 I’m pretty sure you do. Ive had people say you do, someone said you don’t. I’m going to register and insure bike just in case lol no plate tho
@@Backyard_KLX Is the R platable? guess it should be right?
How tall are you
5’8” with boots on, 170lbs I can touch no problem lol
@@Backyard_KLX thanks
@@alfredoguerra9353 no problem, hope that helps.
Would you say the bike would feel small then for someone who's 6'4 210 lbs?
@@cclaw266 I’m sure it’s doable, you’d definitely have to change the footpegs asap
After your breakin she will pull at 7000 rpm little power ban you know what you’re doing

Not legal on Oz. roads !
@@coconuciferanuts339 oz?
@Backyard_KLX Australia. The 300 cannot be registered on road. Pity.
@@coconuciferanuts339 damn, do they make the dual -sport version? The regular Klx300 or non R?
@@Backyard_KLXFrom what I've seen,no versions of the 300 are road legal. The 250klxs o.k. for road.Not sure why the 300 is not.

That stock muffler has to go.
