I needed to add quite a lot of wheel weights for the rear wheel. Don’t be surprised when you are doing. I’ve added about 80 grams to it.

Glad you like them! Appreciate the supportive comment!

Thanks, man!! Appreciate the comment glad to hear you’ve enjoyed the video!

Hi Thomas! I’ll reply in English as my German is not good enough 😅. My pleasure! This was the first video of the channel and I couldn’t let the rain stop me from doing it 😂. I bought this rear shock and front spring second hand. Luckily the set up was perfect for me (spring rate). I paid 500€ for everything. The difference is substantial. I can definitely notice the suspension is much better. I just came back from motorcycle trip with a friend of mine that has the 300 Rally with the stock suspension and the difference when riding on the same terrain is noticeable. The increase in performance is more accentuated when going over large consecutive bumps and holes. The rear shock simply reacts faster, doesn’t bottom out and it does not “kick” you up. Also the higher the speeds the more you will notice the improvement. My friend with the stock rear shock could complete the trip just like a did. So, is it a noticeable upgrade? Yes. Is it mandatory? No. You can enjoy the stock rear shock to complete any trip you want. Regarding the height. I’m 1,75cm and my rear shock lowers the motorcycle by 30mm. In my opinion this is a must also for you. You have to consider that the stock rear shock is extremely soft. When you sit on your 300 Rally, your body weight will lower the motorcycle by some 50-70mm. If you install an upgraded rear shock this will not happen. So even though my rear shock is 30mm shorter, in practice it feels about the same as the stock rear shock when I sit on it. If you don’t install a lower rear shock the motorcycle will feel much taller.

I don’t think they are too bad. Specially with the red protector it almost looks stock to me 😅.

Nice one! I'm sure you will love the bike! Congrats! I definitely recommend installing handguards if you intend on taking it off-road.

My pleasure!! This rear rack is rated for only 4kg. Knowing what I know today I no longer recommend this rear rack. It has some design issues :/. I’m now using my own design which sits much more flush to the motorcycle.

@@RoiaMoto Thank you!!! Ride safe!!

I ride only about 5.000 km per year, November to February covered in snow 😅, therefore I change it once per year. Regardless of the weather I would recommend changing it every 5.000 km or yearly, whatever comes first. Cheers

That’s possible if you permanently remove the small plastic clip that holds the side plastic cover. Or I guess you can just yank it out as well 😂. For the “instructional” video I better do it the slow and step by step way.

Hi there! I have never worn the SG12 so I can’t compare them one to one. I definitely feel some pressure on my ankle with the SG22 but it’s acceptable. Do you have the option to buy it online and return it if it does not fit you well?

@@RoiaMoto Si, eso hare, la pediré a una tienda fiable con opción de devolución, muchas gracias. Mencionar que también tengo una 300L y aunque para ponerla a punto tuve que gastar bastante dinero (suspensiones, escape, torre rally, etc), la moto va muy bien, es ligera, potencia suficiente y muy fiable, estoy muy contento con ella.

Glad the video has been useful! You’re totally right about correct disposal of the old oil. I didn’t cover that in the video but hopefully it’s taken for granted that the oil can’t be discharged on the ground.

Glad to hear that you’ve enjoyed the video! With this set up I can manage to go camping but it’s just at the limit. If there is no camping involved then it’s very comfortable and the bags are not fully packed.

@@RoiaMoto Thanks for this additional info. I’m keeping this bike on my list for sure. Maybe I can just buy two bikes. Lol

Hi mate I agree with you these orings will eventually fail. So far I have had them installed for about 9 months and took them on one long off-road trip. No failures so far. As soon as them fail I’m putting zip ties.

Glad it helped!

Thanks for the comment!! With all of my protective gear my rider weight is about 90-95kg. Depends how much I’ve been eating 😂. I just came back from a motorcycle trip with a friend of mine that has the 300 Rally with the stock rear shock and the difference is substantial. You will notice the difference the faster you go, larger bumps and holes and specially if there are consecutive holes/bumps where the rear shock has less time to re-estabilize. At 110kg you are probably losing close to 60-70% of your suspension travel just with your body weight. I think you will benefit a lot from it. With that said, my friend with the stock rear shock was able to complete the motorcycle trip just like I did. If you’ve got the extra cash to splurge I don’t think you will be disappointed. There is no problem to upgrade only the rear shock and leave the original front spring. However changing the front spring should not cost too much. Can be done with +- 100 U$. If you are already pulling the trigger on the expensive upgrade for the rear shock, might as well just add a bit more for the front spring as well.

@@RoiaMoto ah you're a featherweight then! But good to hear you think the resr alone should be ok cheers, I'll probably just do the shock to begin with as it looks a fairly easy job compared to the forks, if I feel the forks are letting me down I'll think about them later, but I then wonder if I got a stronger/stiffer spring up front if I'd start to have the same rebound problems without any changes to rebound damping, but I'll take it one step at a time I think, hopefully the shock will let me keep pace with the others through the whoops on the trails without the worry of being kicked up and off the bike by the rear!

Hi Keith! I had never heard about this product but looks quite interesting! I specially like the fact that it’s not a paint but an actual chemical reaction!

Hi Travis, You can get it from Rolling Mavericks

@@RoiaMoto thanks!! 🙏

Hi mate I have never tried the enduro version so I can’t share my personal experience. A few comments I can make based on the data sheet. The sole should be better, however I haven’t found the sole of the standard SG22 to be a problem. The goretex makes it water proof but you must match it with an over the boot trousers. Don’t let water get inside by sipping in via your legs. If the Enduro version gets wet, it’s expected to take longer to try. Usually products that have a Gortex layers breath less. Expect higher temperatures inside your boot. If you ride often in a cold/wet environment, for example UK/Sweden, it might make sense. If however you ride in Australia, Im not sure it’s worth it.

Thanks, Mike!

@@RoiaMoto Some U-tubers add so much fluff and stories about how their dog gave birth to 6 puppies, that what you cover in 7 to 12 minutes they take 23 to 35 minutes.......... lol But Really

👍🏻

Hello my friend! Always glad to read your comments! Makes total sense to go for a foam filter, specially in the environment you’re riding. The filter I’ve shown in the video is also available by itself without the cage. Just open it by hand and replace the filter element. You can find the product code in here. twinair.com/news/honda-crf300l-foam-air-filter?highlight=WyJjcmYzMDBsIl0= I’ll also make a video about the spark plug removal/change. It will still take a few months but it’s definitely coming. Cheers

@@RoiaMoto I appreciate your reply Roia and thank you for your efforts.🙏

Hi Chris I bought a pretty generic one. It was from a local shop here in Austria. Can’t even remember if it has a brand in it 😂. It does the job but it’s not fancy at all. 4 wheels and can be lites by turning a detachable handle.

@@RoiaMoto haha sounds good, I’ll look around!

Hi mate!! Glad to hear the video was useful!! I’m working to release the full list of tools on website so you can also build the same one. I’ll also have the complete tool kit here: www.roiamoto.com/toolkits

Hello there, Robin!! Hope you are enjoying the summer 😎! Probably best to just check on Google with the product code and see where you find the cheapest option including delivery. Here is an option; www.tradeinn.com/motardinn/de/twin-air-honda-crf-300-l-21-22-with-cage-luftfilter/139556405/p?id_producte=18544587&country=at&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADtZfwBKHFuVGk8StJvGWk3j44oqX&gclid=CjwKCAjw8fu1BhBsEiwAwDrsjJq-Nsomi5-iZ1tZVOlCdikkCirPDZmq7g5-K2HbpeUcRBE3t04fZxoCPJsQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Thanks! Glad to hear the video was useful! The way you’ve done it’s even better! It makes it easier to reinstall the wheel back on. Cheers

Rim locks can be used with any tubed tire.

For the stock handlebar use the model specific version from Barkbustets. For Pro Taper CR high use the universal mounting kit.

@RoiaMoto I did use the ones you set a link for in the handguard video you posted and worked amazing thank you for the help and all your videos

Hi mate I’ve never changed a cruiser tire. I imagine it should be harder but still doable and much easier if compared without the Rabaconda

Hi mate. Yes, my bike is EU market. Bought it in Austria.

My pleasure! Thanks for the comment!

Hey mate Have you tried the way I showed him In the video? It should work every time 😎

The 300L still here. The 300 Rally is from a friend of mine. I just took the chance to make some videos with his motorycle ;).

Glad u did . The rally is good for long travel.​@RoiaMoto

Hi mate, I haven’t done like that yet. I’m having trouble to see how you can twist, and push 2 opposite nubs on opposite sides at the same time with a screw driver. Have you done it like that yet?

@@RoiaMoto I've done it any number of times like that (on Hondas with this style of bar-end weight) - you just put the tip of flat-blade screw driver between the tang and the bar end, push and twist and the nub pops out of the hole in the bar... [the top] one is usually enough to free the spring clip, but if you can't then pull the weight assembly out, then do it again on the lower/opposite tang so that both nubs are free.

Thanks!! Ill try that next time!

Install handguards.

To install hand-guards.

If you remove the end weights. And ride long distance . If you fit barkbusters the accessory end weight you can buy removes the vibration.​ The vibration@@RoiaMotois not bad but builds If u ride 300 k or so in one go.

That also does it 😂. If you won’t need the metal “holder” again just pull it off.

Hi Jeff, yes. Possible to change the rear and front tires with it. I just don't recommend the street bike tire changer if you have rim locks installed. With rim locks then you need the dual sport tire changer. I have a video here on the channel comparing both versions. cheers

Hi mate. Indeed I don’t have a back to back testing about how much extra heat will end up your tires with the thicker tube. The logic for me makes sense. The more mass there is, the more mass is available to hold heat. But I can’t tell you if under the same conditions this would mean a 1 degree or 10 degrees in temperature difference.

Good point!

Thanks, Alfonso!! Great tip for lifting the back wheel! I think we do it the same way. I showed it in here. HOW TO USE A MOTORCYCLE TRAIL JACK th-cam.com/video/XccC81CWsuQ/w-d-xo.html

Must be motorcycle oil. The motorcycle engine oil is the same making contact with the clutch pack disc.

Don’t use car oil! It will harm your clutch! It has to me motorcycle oil.
