Honda CRF300L ~ I Ran Out Of Gas! On Purpose ??
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ส.ค. 2021
- So on my 2021 Honda CRF300L using 91 octane non ethanol fuel I got 153 miles on a tank of fuel with this test. And there are a lot of variables that could make it more or less like rider weight, type of fuel, riding style, even elevation.
So you can pretty much figure that when the bike is on the reserve portion of the tank and the bottom bar on the display starts to flash, that you can go about 40-45 miles and that is max. I wouldn’t want to push it to far!

Just picked up my 300L today after 4 months of waiting ! Worth every second I love it !
Sweet, Congrats
have fun!
I got mine yesterday! Walked the the shop had one in stock and I took it!!! I got lucky it sounds like. Seems as everyone is having to wait! I sure like it. Looking forward to ordering my upgrades.
congrats I ordered mine 12 days ago.
How much out the door is 5500 right on?
Very useful to know, thanks
I’m getting around 91 miles to an imperial gallon, mainly back road use in the uk.
It’s so clever how simply the flashing red indicator has been achieved
Thank you sir. Good solid info!
Very cool. Thank you for the experiment
Thanks for all you do!!!!!!.. Stay safe.........
Your welcome, thanks for watchin
Thanks for the video and all the great information!
Your welcome, thanks for watchin Bob
Great video. That extra tank and rack is some nice kit!
Thanks! Yea I don’t keep it on all the time, mainly if I take a long trip, then I will use it. I just had it on for this test
I never check the reading on the display for fuel economy, but I calculate the mpg at every fill. It's been constantly increasing. At the moment I'm getting 94 mpg imperial which is 78 - 79 mpg US measure on mixed riding. I use 87 octane regular shell gas in the 300L.
That’s pretty darn good
That could be the raw fuel quality due to the supplier
.
Impressive! I’ve been pretty set on the Rally version of this bike for the larger fuel tank but this has me second guessing my decision
I test rode both and chose the Rally last week. It's much more comfortable on the road and I enjoy the larger tank as well
@@marcochavane3124 I ended up getting the Rally too. Have had it since October. Love it.
@@2wheels.are.better.than4 is the rally as powerful and punchy as this l version??
@@marcochavane3124 is the rally as powerful and punchy as this l version??
@@Taitea_____ same exact drive train with just a little more weight. I'm 260lbs and don't have to downshift on hills when I'm going 60+mph
I got sick and tired of paying for “unleaded” gas. I’ve seen tests run on the gasoline from the pumps of stations with multiple-octane from one hose and they said that the unleaded gets contaminated with regular gas because it’s stored in the hose before you select it. If you only buy a couple of gallons you’re likely buying mostly regular gas.
So…
I make my own unleaded.
All you need is a gas can full of regular gas. It doesn’t matter if it has alcohol or not, but you will need a higher octane than regular, as you will see in a moment.
Pour the gas into a clear glass container as you will need to see the gas level(s). Allow for the gas to settle a few minutes for the gas and alcohol/water to separate (they will). Here is where having a cover for the glass tank matters.
Get a gas syphon (nothing fancy just a half inch or larger of gas resistant plastic will do).
Syphon the gas which is now on the bottom back into your gas can. You will be able to see the gas/alcohol & water line from the side. Stop siphoning just before you get all the gas.
Now you have pure gasoline, and a mix of alcohol/water as a residue.
I syphon that off into a different can to be disposed of (check your local recycling)
As you have probably noticed, removing the alcohol lowers the octane slightly, which is why you don’t want regular 87 octane. 89-91 will do to start.
This gas works great for bikes, cars, small gas engines and especially generators that are used as backups.
Great vid 👍
Got a 19 XR650L used to run premium, aswell as in my 2020 HD2500 and my 2006 Harley Softail...
Now run cheap gas in all of them.
My previous truck was a 2016 Silverado and would knock when I floored it untill I ran high test.(Was a 5.3 RCSB) Now with the 2500 I drive like an old man and dont care about every ounce of performance. Both bikes dont seem to care about the octane.Harley has V&H fuel pack, XR has jet kit and seem to run same. All three suck down fuel...lets go brandon!!!
Excellent video,
very informative in detail 🇺🇸🍾🎉🇺🇸
Thanks for watchin
I agree Frank, do and ride how you feel most comfortable! Just ignore the negative comments. On a good note I’m getting my 300L in about 2 weeks.
Sweet! That is good news
Agreed bro!! do as you like. I wear all the gear all the time. that's me. I have same bike. stunned how long you made it go on one tank.
Just got my 300l. I use premium non ethanol. First tank was 88mpg probably because of lots of 40-50 mph riding. Got 120 miles that tank. Indicator reads around 77mpg. Very nice to know it's over 70.
Hey Woodzman! Like your vids. It appears the instant mpg is pretty accurate. Mine has 81.5 to 84.5. in town commute only, 35-45 mph speeds. Same skid plate but I went with the metal back carrier. I'm about 155 lbs. This bike makes you smile at the pump for sure and I love it all around!
Yes it does, it a lot better than putting gas in the Jeep lol
Good video bud, well done. 👍
Thanks for watchin
Mid 70's with a 300l with 91 up here in 🇨🇦 .... great vid
I think that is going to be the average
Farther than I thought on reserve. I need to get more comfortable running my tank lower. I think I fear running out of gas too much. Carrying gas in tank only adds weight when you don't ever use it and limits your range if you are afraid to run low. Thanks for the demo! 👍
I mean, it's probably a good thing to have that slight fear on reserve, it's when you get too comfortable is when you get stranded.
I picked upy new CRF 300L in Portugal earlier this week, absolutely superb. It's head and shoulders better than my CRF250L Rally I own in Ireland
Awesome!
Good video. Great gas ⛽️ mileage
Thanks Don!
That's awesome range. I have a 250L with a programmer and full FMF exhaust. I can get about the same range as your 300, but I have a 3.1 gallon tank. I run 92 octane ethy free gas in it.
I bought a brand new Honda CT125 last February. I actually checked the mileage on it with 89 octane non ethanol gas, it got 119.9 mpg. I loved that little bike. I put 3090 miles on it this past year. I weigh usually about 215 on the bathroom scales. So the mileage was pretty good. I wanted just a little more power and speed for the times I do have to get on the highway. Probably 90-95% of my riding was back roads. I sold it a few weeks back to the very first guy I told I was for sale. He bought it on the spot. Wish I could have afforded to keep it. I bought a 2022 CRF300 Rally that had 610 miles on it. I've only put 20 miles on it since I got it. Looking forward to warmer weather so I can take a good spin on it. I like it a lot so far. Thanks for your videos.
I also will be glad when it warms up, it’s hard to get out and enjoy the ride when it’s cold. We just got like 6” of snow so didn’t ride the bike today :(
You crack me up! Lol just got my 300 after 7 week wait. I've got 34 miles on it. It says 76.7 mpg. That's taking it pretty easy. Not sure on the gas the dealer had it full. First impression very good.
34 miles? You need to be out ridin lol
I need to do this test. I didn't think it would go that far. I'm used to using the odometer as my fuel gauge. Two rides on the 300 and I already miss the 3.2 gallon tank on my old XR250L. I also hate the IRC tires as I knew I would. I have the 250 set up sweet and this is one of the reasons I was reluctant to get a new bike. No one makes a bigger tank for the 300 and it looks to me like there is no room to put a bigger tank. You have the logical solution although I didn't want to add a luggage rack to my bike.
Just back from ride two. 74.2 miles from full tank to only two bars left on fuel gauge. I'm thinking 80 miles before it's time to start hunting down a gas station. It said I was getting 71.7 average mpg. I was taking it really easy too. Some first and second gear trail riding, but mostly street. 5th and 6th gear.
I run 91 non ethanol, I get 50-55 in my 2019 honda cb650r , 66-68 in my 2009 kawasaki klx250sf, keep up the cool videos
That’s no so bad for the CB650R
I have a 2014 CRF250L with a 305 big bore kit EJK full FMF exhaust, running 91 octane, getting anywhere from 65 to 72 miles per gallon depending on how I ride it. I have a 3.2 gal tank on it so it can safely go 200 miles!
That is actually pretty darn good
300L I run 10% Ethanol (All we have) 91-93 octane. I get about 65 mpg. I have been pushing it pretty hard. Has 550 miles on it. Going in for service soon. Screw the naysayers , ride safe and enjoy the heck out of it.
Yea we only have non ethanol at a few stations and that is only because we are so close to the lake area.
Holy Crap!! Just browsing through TH-cam and I happen across none other than Frank!!! Man it has been a long while. Hope all is well with you guys! Oh and nice video!
Haha yes it’s been several years!
Doin great, just gettin by.
Good to hear from you, hope y’all are doing well!
@@WOODZMAN we are doing good. Moved back to your neck of the woods recently so maybe we can get together sometime.
Yea! I didn’t know you were gone lol
With my 250L I used to check it every time, I don't really care anymore. It seemed to always be between 65-75 mpg. I kind of attribute that to never really filling the tank to the exact point every time. I usually try to fill up to the tubes, but variations on how the bike maybe sitting can vary how much fuel it might actually get. I have never used 87, always 91. Since we got a QT in Joplin I now have an option for actual non ethanol, has it's own hose so it doesn't get mixed, hopefully.
Yea I only checked mine for the 3 videos, otherwise I really don’t care. It’s plenty good
Some gas stations mention whether or not about ethanol in the gas, ethanol does discolor the inside of a gas tank over time and 93 octane is more powerful without ethanol.
i am getting 35.4 kilometres to the litre using 98 Ron, according to the readout - mind you, I am very light and do not really push it super hard while I'm running the motor in in the first 1000k.
Not quite sure how it’s averaging, only ever topped up tank twice, were once again in a lockdown with a 5km radius which where allowed to travel..Lol.. Since picking it up from the dealership I’ve filled it up with Premium
Unleaded 98 Octane...Seems to chug along nicely! Enjoying all your videos and reviews Frank 👍
These lock downs are getting old.
Thanks for watchin
Good video on my KTM 390 Adventure I can get as good as 2.9 liters per hundred Km. ( 81.16 miles per gallon,) that is taking it easy and going around 80 Km per hour ( 50 miles per hour ) but average riding and I like to take off fast, to get up to speed as fast as I can most of the time, I will average 3.3 liters per hundred Km. ( 71 miles per gallon ) that is checked on the bike as well as when I fill up, bike seams to be wright on. Hear on the Island our roads are 80 Km and 90 Km per hour so that is mostly what I ride. Do slow down on dirt roads when the get rough and hear they can get pretty bad, large pot holes, deep ruts, mud and sand.
On my DR650 with a 20 liter gas tank around 4.1to 4.8 liters per 100 km ( 57 to 49 miles per gallon ) checked at the pumps, but I do as many gravel and dirt roads as I can find on the DR650 and some are more like tractor trails with 2' of grass growing up the center. and some with deep sand and mud. If you want a good tire for paved, gravel and dirt roads try the Dunlop TrailMax Mission have them on bough my bikes and they last a long time, 9,200 Km on my KTM and have to use a gage to see the ware, checked at 8,500 and only down 1mm ( 1/32" )
Like your videos and your bike I ride a 2013 XR 650 L 55 miles a gallon sometimes a little more mostly Road miles thoughAlso have a 2020 Honda Africa twin adventure sport 55 miles to the gallon
I have owned both, great bikes
I was riding, don't think that was my tracks. My Tusk deport tire arrived today. Going to get few more miles before I change. Be my first time changing tire myself. The tire looks good.
Don’t pinch the tube!
I get my gas off the farm tank, so I don’t know the octane, but it is ethanol free. It shows 68.6 mpg.
I did 159 miles on my 300L today before I stopped for fuel. I did not check the miles per gallon. It was 91 octane with ethanol. And it was all highway miles. I didn't run out but I had to be bad close to it.
Well I can tell you after all the testing I have done in the three videos, what your average says on your display, that is pretty much the miles per gallon you are getting. It’s accurate
Hi Frank, I filled my CRF 300 Rally up with Sonoco 93 today. Rode 125 miles. The display said I was getting 78.9 MPG at the end of my ride. At one time it read 80.3 MPG. I’ll do a MPG check the old fashion way the next time I fill up and I’ll let you know. Ride on!!
Sounds good, I bet it will be accurate to your gauge
@@WOODZMAN I just filled up and check my MPG today. It was 71.9 MPG. The display showed 77 MPG when I filled up. I’m cool with 71.9 as I’m on the throttle a lot. Lol
Nothing wrong with that!
Larry will you do a run out of gas test on the rally to see how many miles the bike will go from where the red light comes on till it stops ?
@@Sertao2013 lol I’m not planning to run out of gas. I make sure I fill up when it’s close to empty. Usually before the fuel light comes on. I’m never that far away from a gas station. See Frank’s video on running out of gas.
I love the concept of this video, but it is a little lengthy.
Did the same thing with my 250 L, 85 octane 157 miles on the tank full.
Good to hear!
So far my 300l averages about 78-82 MPG on regular 86 octane pump gas. Mostly highway miles. I still haven't hit the 600 mark to do my first oil change. I'm a light rider and also live at high altitude if it matters.
That is pretty darn good
2004 Kawasaki KLR 650, she usually gets around 55 MPG on regular.
That is about I got with the DR650 I had
Very good video Frank. So you got about 40 miles on the reserve? When you get a nay sayer, just tell them to “go catch a chicken”.
Yea reserve should be 40-45 miles per max.
Lol good advice
Just look at it the way it is, unhappy people like to pick on little things others do or don't.
We who are happy and lead good lifes don't 😎
You got that right, sometimes I want so hard to tell them off in a reply to there comments but most of the time I just figure, oh well. I also wonder if they even own a bike lol
Too many Karens in the world. They just can't keep their trap shut!
Yea and I don’t want them to care about me lol
Just bought my second CRF 300 L (11/3/2021)out the door for $5578.19 /with ABS. Bought from Southern Honda in Chattanooga TN. No transportation or dealer prep charges ever. They seem to have inventory where my local dealers did not. I had to wait 2 days for the Rally and two weeks for the 300L, did not want ABS but it was all they had to offer. I do have to pay Florida taxes when I tag it.
I didn’t want the ABS ether but if that is all they had, I would have taken it
I have never ridden with ABS but what is the negative side?
ABS is good if you don’t want your brakes to lock up but there is times when I want to be able lock my brakes to slide the rear wheel.
I have never wanted ABS myself, mainly because I have rode bikes all my life without it and I want total control.
I do this ABS is a great thing especially for new riders
My Rally with 1000 miles is averaging 71 mpg on 87 ethanol.
Yea I do get better with the non ethanol but as I said I can’t really tell any difference in performance
What part of the country are you in. It sure looks like a wonderful place to ride. Can't beat Honda reliability, I have 2002 Honda cbr f4i, and it has never let me down. It's time for me to change and this dual sports sure looks like the best of both worlds for a price you can't beat. I would just have to upgrade the suspension because I'm 225 lbs and I would get the Rally for the larger tank of gas and the colors on it.
I’m in SW Missouri, it’s nice around here, I also ride a lot in Arkansas.
I’m 235 and stock suspension is fine with me but of course I don’t jump it
I'm sure Itchy loves this bike. Great range/MPG and lite weight. She rode a CFR250 all over Africa. She loved it. The 250 needed more power for sand dune climbing but how often does anyone do that? My DR650 is air/oil cooled, weighs about the same as the CFR300 and has much more power than CFR 300, however the 650's MPG is not near as good as the 300. Surprise. I think mostly the MPG makes the CFR300 more desirable to the sweet girl.
Yea I watch all of itchy boots videos. The 300L or 250L is not enough power for sand dunes
90 non-ethanol 72.2 but I like the throttle sometimes
Great reason for a long ride. Question please. Anyone making a larger replacement tank for the crf300l ?
Thanks for ur videos.
Yahoooo
ACERBIS Is but I’m not sure if it is ready yet
Nice work.! I really enjoyed your video. Does anyone know if you can buy a 300 rally fuel tank and bolt it on a 300L yet.?
I don’t think so, it would be different mounting points for sure
Greetings, woodsman
Is it necessary to run premium gas?
So how many miles did you go once the red light came on the gas gauge ? Is there a Reserve switch ?
How are the RPM's at 60-65? Or even 55-60? I'm looking into getting a 300l, but I have a 40 minutes drive to work with 55mph zones and a couple 65 mph zones. I'm worried that it may be screaming the engine and feel real "buzzy" at hwy speed for an extended amount of time. Sorry for the long question lol, and thanks in advance for any feedback. 🤙🏼
Oh no, it will handle 60-65 no problem at all, 6K RPMs and you can ride that all day long
Hey woodzman, do you notice or hear a high pitched noise during engine braking from the clutch area? Mine has a screeching sound almost. I took my bike to my dealer and their mechanic says it's "normal.'' Doesn't seem normal to me. I've never had a slipper clutch before so I'm not sure. I may need a second opinion.
I have never noticed it at all, I’m really not an engine breaking rider, I pull in the clutch while shifting down and don’t let out the clutch until I’m at the speed I want and the gear I want
I get 55-58mpg on my 300L. I feel much better about this now. Every time i go a bit past below half i get a bit uneasy and refuel. Then again most of my vehicles dont usually every go past half before i refule.
Yea it’s nice to know and that is why I did the tests
@@WOODZMAN thanks for post great content. Keep up the good work!
Does it worry you to ride when it’s lightning around? I run the premium stuff in my 250l, usually 93octane with ethanol as there aren’t many stations around where I ride with the red gas. Never have checked my mileage, I just put it in when I need it. I usually top it off after each ride before I go to the hse
Well I wouldn’t encourage it at all and no I don’t like to.
@@WOODZMAN yea me neither, I’m gettin off somewhere when it starts lightning,
I had a Harley 883, and got better millage using regular 87 octane. than I did running high test if it calls for 86 or higher you will most likely get best gas millage using 87 octane. You should give it a test and see. I have also got better millage in some of my cars using 87 octane. Unless your bike or car calls for high octane, there should be no difference on performance, and some times you will get better with 87.over 91. I did in my 883 it made a big difference in performance and millage, using 87.
I bet a constant 55mph without stops or no headwind, an easy cruise on a highway, would get about 170 to the tank with the right rider weight, etc.
Oh yea
Great Video.
How is that stock seat for long miles?
Do you think you will you swap it out for an aftermarket seat?
Thanks, the stock seat isn’t good even though it is better than the 250L stock seat. I will definitely get a Seat Concepts or Corbin, not sure witch one yet.
@@WOODZMAN I suggest the Seat Concepts one
My 300L shows I am on empty (blinking red on low) when I have used only about a gallon of the 2 gallon tank at about ~80miles, something is off on the sensor it seems, anyone else have this issue?
I have not seen that, it should come on after you have used about 1-1/2 gallons
i have a question not related to this video but does the 300 come with an forest service approved muffler?
Oh yea it sure does
It's ridiculous, imo, that the tank on this doesn't hold closer to 3 gallons, and the rally version between 4-5. In the south west, it would be really easy to run out of gas if your doing some remote area riding where there aren't many gas stations.
I average 2.9 liters per 100km on mine riding it hard. I have had it a month and put over 800kms on it 95% off-road. The only complaints are the suspension and stock tires are absolutely horrible. I run 95 sin plomo with 5% ethanol. I live in southern Spain and don’t think the non ethanol is available here.
I totally agree
61.2 mpg for me on kenda trackmasters. I'm about to tinker with some sprockets and wondering if you know if they are the same as the 250l?
The front sprocket is the same but the rear is different.
Bit the same amount of teeth but the rear has different size bolt holes
@@WOODZMAN thanks frank..u da man!
Hub will be different. But i bet the hubs are interchangeable
Oh yea I’m sure they are.
Does honda have a recommendation as to what fuel to use? It seems like in the manual it just says recommended pump octane rating 86 or higher. That doesn't really help so you can use 86, 87, 89, 91, or 93...everything around me.has 10% ethanol.
86 or higher and 10% ethanol is ok.
I like to use non ethanol if I can
@@WOODZMAN what octane do you usually use that has ethanol in it?
91
What headlight are you running? It looks awesome!
I have the LED headlight, turn signals like the OEM Thailand CRF300L
@@WOODZMAN cool! The Thailand version looks so much better than the American version. I wonder why in the world we got the old style.
I’m not sure but yes the Thailand version does look a lot better. I was hoping they would change the US version but they haven’t yet
91 non ethanol for me, I don't know exact mileage. I have run 131 miles before I filled up.
Hard to gauge it when using gas cans I guess
What helmet and camera you use?
Sena 10C EVO amzn.to/3mcHkgy
92 Octane, 56 mpg on my third tank
Yea I have been getting 74 and my sons about 72
How much was the LED turn signals and LED bulbs?
I was send all those parts, not sure if the cost but it would be extremely expensive.
I’m sure you could buy it all from Bikerzbits but there was a lot of parts and pieces to make it all work.
What I wanna know is how many miles can you go after the reserve light comes on??
About 45 miles but I would want to push it
@@WOODZMAN good to know. Thanks. This is important for me ask will do a lot of moto camping and it’s good to know how far you can go on reserve.
Oh yea I agree. That is part of the reason I did the test
Even if your did have to push it- I’m betting you still get it home anyway.
Not many significant hills on those roads you test ride around your hood 😏
Well I live in the hollow and I’m betting a person would be able to push the bike up the hill. Down wouldn’t be bad lol
Hi 2024 crf 300l. I use e10 unleaded I'm showing 95 mpg uk, not sure if that's correct looking at others videos
That is pretty good
CRF 450L with vortex and yoshi exhuast running 90 octane non ethanol - 40.7 MPG. She's a thirsty girl lol.
Haha wow yea I would say so, but it’s pumpin out some power also
I have a 2018 CSC TT 250 that I bought new and was my 1st dual sport it's a china bike lol but it's ok and I would say I get about 60 miles to the gallon and my tank is like 2.5 gallons I think 🤔
I wanted to ask you where did you get that headlight shroud ?? It's different than the stock 300l sold here in the US can you send me a link for that and give me some info on it ?
Hi Roger, That all that Thailand headlight, shroud, turn signals and wiring harness plus all mounting parts and trust me it’s a lot of parts, was sent to me from the Honda Factory in Thailand about 8 months before the 300L was even released in the U.S. You can’t buy it in the U.S.
I have heard that you can buy it from a company in Thailand called Bikerzbits but for everything it’s extremely expensive
@@WOODZMAN oh ok how much ball park do you thinking I would be looking at ? Give me your best guess
Maybe $600 headlight and signals and I’ll like I did, maybe $1000
Run 87 octane in a 300L avg is 73mpg plus or minus a few tenths
I think 73 is a good average and that average on the gauge is spot on accurate
ADVENTURE I wrk at a Polaris dealer ship. You truly should use recreational fuel in that bike it's a verry clean fuel. Maybe you will get the bang for your buck
If I'm right you should get even better gas mileage be and performance
I run 90 octane non ethanol in my CRF250L and I get 70 mpg.
I’m not positive what my 250 was getting but I know it was 70+
Shell and chevron are the best
I normally run 87 and my average usually says 73.6.
Bout the same as mine
@@WOODZMAN Yeah, so you ended up getting about 45 miles on reserve. That's pretty good! Thanks for doing this, Frank. It's good to know!
Yea and I forgot to mention that. It’s good to know
That is impressive! But all gas has ethanol no matter the octane level :)
Non-Ethanol gasoline is a high-quality type of fuel that does not include added ethanol
the guage stinks. don't trust it. no big deal, watch your odometer. nice bike. my 1st. 4000 kms since June.
Good video Woodzman. You could have worn a blue shirt. Lol. Just kidding
Haha yea and a seat belt
I don't own one (yet) but if/when I do, I will use regular 87 octane. The owner's manual says to use 86 or higher. The octane is strictly a measure of how much the gas resists detonation. I trust the Honda engineers to know what level of octane is good for their engine. Don't be fooled by gas company marketing departments who call it "premium". There is nothing premium about it.
First ride I was averaging 74 then it was getting 78.1 before the 1st oil change. After the oil change 77.7 most of the time. I use 87 octane. 300L is in shop now hopefully getting repaired soon after getting hit by car. Goldwing is loving it now. Lol
xr650l, 91 octane, 37 mpg🐖
My xr650l gets the same.
Dr 650 48mpg 89 octane ethanol. Drz400sm 59mpg 89 octane non ethanol
That is about what the DR650 I had was getting
😆. I think your bike is running on YOUR gas lol. Your right you can’t make some people happy
Haha that may be why it went so far, never thought of that lol
You think ya going to melt 😂 😂 😂 if ya need more gas i can fix ya a big ole pot of beans 💨 💨 💨 that will keep ya going 😂 😂 😂
Hahah heck yea a big ole pot of ham & beans makes a big difference!
