Thanks! We have a lot of fun here, it's a good little proving grounds for the boys. We have a lot more trails up in the woods, I'll have to get some video!
I agree, I don't like the sound of the stock exhaust after the baffle/spark arrestor is removed, or the performance. That being said, the exhaust modification wasn't intended to produce better sound. It was an attempt to lower the temperatures of the mufflers (which I stated in the video). We have since installed FMF exhaust on each bike. A Q4 on one and a Powercore on the other. If you want to hear a better tone, we have exhaust sound comparison videos posted, I encourage you to check out those videos. I personally like the Q4 the best.
I have this exact same bike mines a 22 and I really like it only annoying thing is the weight, when you gotta push it up hill or turn around in tight areas it becomes much more apparent, I can’t see any benefits to the weight? otherwise it’s a pretty good bike and I plan to keep it indefinitely.
They are heavy bikes for sure. We have videos coming of some FMF exhaust options, they shave quite a bit of weight from up high on the bike, so that helps a little. I don't think there is much benefit to the weight. Maybe a little more traction in certain circumstances? But that's a stretch. We like the bikes for what they are and we plan on keeping them too.
the head pipe in too skinny , i think , people keep just doing the slip on exhausts , but that head pipe must by holding back some flow to the new muffler , i had a stroker and the headpipe was much fatter, i would figure more flow , i think ?
Ultimately flow will be restricted by the size of the intake and exhaust ports in the engine. I've seen exhaust systems with "fatter" head pipes, and they still neck down at the point of connection to the engine. The main reason we did this modification was to reduce the temperature of the muffler. The stock muffler gets very, very hot. I doubt that there was much of a power gain (if any) with the systems we installed on these bikes.
I haven't personally ridden a CRF 250F, but I have ridden my fair share of 250 four strokes. That being said, the power of the 300R comes on strong at the low end and is very manageable. It's mellow compared to a motocross style bike and puts a lot of power to the ground. I ride a Yamaha WR250F and the power of that bike pulls harder from the bottom all the way up through the high RPMs when compared to the 300R. That being said, the 300R is designed to be more of a trail focused machine and I find it very fun to ride with no lack of useable power on the low end. It won't tire you out as quickly as a tuned 250 either. I hope that answer wasn't too long!
I never said they were the best sounding bikes in the world. The goal of modifying the exhaust was safety oriented. We add aftermarket exhaust in the following videos. Hope you have a better day, stay safe out there.
No sirven. Compre una Kawasaki KLX 300 R el dia de ayer nueva, la encendi y la luz testigo del check engine parpadeo, la tuve que apagar y no poderla usar. No es posible que supuestamente son de buena calidad, comorarla nueva y no funcione. Me equivoque, siempre he comprado Yamaha sin ningun problema. Me desilusionó Kawasaki, pense que eran buenas motocicletas. Me equivoque
That is unfortunate. I hope that the dealership you purchased the motorcycle from will repair or replace the motorcycle. I have owned many different brands of motorcycles and unfortunately, with every brand, it is possible that a motorcycle was produced that has quality control issues and problems right from the factory. I have owned a couple different Kawasaki models, and they do have their quirks, but overall seem solid. I hope that your problem is solved and you don't give up on it just yet.
Wow..that’s an awesome place to ride. Great job on it and the bikes.

Stock sounds better.

Very nice 👍
Thanks! We just did a whole bunch of work and built a small motocross track, hopefully I'll get some videos posted soon.
flynn you better ride your dirt bike soon
klr 300R has more low end grunt the crf 250F?

@@LagBros_3 thank , I Will buy one, I need só much Low end torque , I have 105kg
They both sound pretty sad

Check the temp on the header pipe next time
I'll have check it out next time. It would be interesting to see the temps as a follow up to our FMF install videos.
