Check your owner's manual. Chaging the Shift Light;s RPM to flash, is easy to do. Honda sets it for break-in. You seem to ride a lot harder, now. I have mine set about 500 below redline. This light is only needed if you are on a racetrack and want to know exact shift point.
On my CB300R, I use my High beam, at all times. I have had no one complain, day or night, The only exception is if fI lip to high and someone down the road sees the change. Honda uses both Low and High beams on High, so you get two stripes of light. Riding during the day, I used to see people pull-out to see if it was clear to pass, eventually see me and pull back in. Since running the High beam day and night, no one has the done the pull-out-and-check thing in front of me. Odd, I find the head;ight on the CB300R bright and very white. I used to sell Triumphs, and this bke has a better head light Triumphs -- especially to the side (deer markers?). Then, I turned on High Beam and was doubly impressed. I think it is the white color of the LEDs that keeps people from noticing.
Have the same bike and adjusted the "Shift light" to come on the latest (~10,500rpm) so it doesn't bother me in normal riding (rtfm) and with a 15T front sprocket it rarely comes on. (the red line put with a custom pv3 tune to be @11,000-11,300rpm)
I'm thinking of picking ones of these bikes up. Here in Thailand i can buy a 2018 model for the equivalent of around 1,600 GBP with about 12-15k Km on the clock.
@@drriderike215 I was looking at the prices in the UK for the same bike and they're going for around 3,000 pounds. Bikes are a lot cheaper in Thailand. I believe Hondas are actually assembled here.
I have this bike; it's the least vibey thumper I've owned. It has a balance shaft that smooths the engine out at the expense of a little power and responsiveness. Still, it's more vibey than the equivalent sized parallel or V twin.
This is gonna be me in the summer of 2024
Nice ! Good luck ! 👍
u bought a cbr300r ?
how was your summer of 2024?

Thank you ! I will check the manual. I didn't know I can adjust the shift light . I will try to adjust it.

I had to replace the headlight because it started to flash and sometimes completely stop . I can't go with high beam ...it's to powerful .
oh you're one of those... i hope you loose a hand or foot in a crash.

Nice , I will try to adjust shift light to 10,500rpm.
Same, the second I got out of the break-in period I raised mine so it doesn't bother me commuting.

It's not bad for that price. I've done 22000 miles already and didn't have any problem with the bike.

Yes , the price here is high, but there not so many 300cc bikes here ...
A lot of honda motorbike parts I've order come from Thailand.
@@drriderike215 yeah they're assembled here and some of the parts are also made here.

Does the wind shield actually protect you from windblast at higher speed like 70-80 mph?
Not really 🤣
How big are you if you dont mind me asking? And is this your daily commuter?
I'm 5'11. I'm using it for work as delivery driver .
hows the vibrations at 70mph
There are some vibration , but not too strong , doesn't bother me too much .

is that miles per hour or kilometers per hour?
Hello, it's miles per hour.
what year is the bike ?
2019
Is that stock exhaust
Hi , yes !
Sounds pretty dope. Is not droning in your helmet when you cruise at high speed for longer periods?
@Nightingale1887 No , I also have a cardo bold on the helmet so I'm listening music all the time , I barely hear the engine 😅.
@@drriderike215 Nice. I rode with a loud exhaust but got rid of it, if you ride at fixed speed the low drone will drive you crazy.
