Most excellent review! 👏🙌 I appreciate how you take your knowledge and experience from your background and make it relevant to real world use. I’ve had the Yoshi pipe and 91 stage 1 tune on my CRF300L Rally and I’m very pleased with the results. Just finished installing the velocity stack and air box mod so I’m anxious to see how it performs. Keep up the great work ✌️
came to so many different channels looking for someone who actually rid this bike like a man. I want to see what It can do and when people baby around the trails doesn't give a good example of the capabilities. Nice riding
What a great video! Very well done.. What I'm struggling to wrap my brain around is why Honda does not optimize the ECU mapping if it's really not detrimental to the engine. How could such a large gain be had just by tuning the ECU of a machine that is designed for performance? Honda should know every single parameter that the motor can operate safely in and could easily optimize the ECU to reach those specs so why don't they?
Seems to me a few things. Emissions and longevity/reliability. They have recommended a very hands off maintenance schedule of 8k miles I think between oil changes and the bike seems to be set up for happy dual sporting aimed at the entry market in terms of price and setup of the bike itself. You run a bike a bit richer for more torque and a bit more ignition advance this does inevitably increase cylinder wear as you get a bit more washing of oil off the cylinder wall with rich mixture and a bit more heat from ignition advance and this also degrades the oil faster as does running it hard which you’re more tempted to do if the bike has more power most people use whatever power the bike has most of the time. I think if you tune a bike you need to up the maintenance schedule significantly.
With the extra power from all these mods how are the motor temps when ridding slowly through trails or even just sitting still idling? Does the fan come on more often? I'm in Northern Ontario and I like getting "out there" to find old trails. Many of them are overgrown and the going can get slow. That kind of riding isn't always friendly to "race natured" bikes. It seems like you're bridging the gap between stock foofoo bike and the aformentioned race natured bikes. For example my 2021 Beta 500RR-S runs hot in slow trails and the fan is on 100% of the time. Same even for my KTM 250XCFw. All my performance bikes require a minimum speed to keep air flowing through the rads. I'm just curious if your bike took on that race bike caracteristic with the increase in power?
I've been running a 550 91 ECU with a Yoshi full system for a while, but have held off on the intake mods (some videos I have seen have been real hack jobs). What are your thoughts on the ease of installation and that side of things; are the intake mods worth doing? PS Thanks for the vid, its nice to see a rider out there with experience. The longer pull through the rev range is something I have mentioned to several people and I feel it is under-represented in most '550 test' content.
1-You can take off the backfire screen(metal mesh) on your stock air filter to get hi-flow. 2-Add uni vents to your airbox lid or alternatively, 550 airbox lid with frogzskin.
@fcalin21 😄???? How are you determining that it is not a sufficient remedy from my saying "much smoother" ? How can you conclude from this that a Beta RR is still significantly superior in its fueling?
Jesus Christ you can ride! Just discovered this channel and a new sub from me for sure. How you don’t have more subscribers is beyond me, but this needs to grow. I’m getting the 300L, you made up my mind. Next for you and the L needs to be a review of the 301 big bore kit. Please make that happen!
Just installed my 550 stock improved 87 octane. There might be a bit of a performance bump, but the bike runs much cooler, and the throttle is much smoother. Overall pretty happy with it. Also Ive heard if you add some performance mods down the road, you can send the ecu back to them and theyll get you upgraded. Seemed like a no brainer if that is indeed the case.
I think you should probably eliminate the track test and human fatigue versus an acceleration test- it’s more reliable- supercross comparison to a small dualsport- apples to oranges- I’m definitely interested in a new ECU I appreciate the “real world” test as I too ride more in trails and rougher terrain- good job!
Haha, I do understand comparing SX to the 300L is a bit of a stretch. My point in all that was more to emphasize that a 1 second gain per minute of trail riding is more than most may think. Glad you enjoyed the video!!! 👍
@@patoneill555 I know it was a stretch and I see your point- I suppose making the comparison can help answer peoples questions on the difference between a stick bike and a modified ECU with mods- well done!
Man dude ! This is the best shit I have seen on this bike.your showing this thing who's boss lmao....I love your energy and fuck can you ride ! I would be shitting my pants around all those trees....great video and aweaome knowledge. I appreciate your great videos !
I’m very interested in putting on the same mods. that you have done, but I’m wondering if putting the bike on a Dyno is a must, or can I just order the ECU and install it on my own. Thank you.
Nice vid! After watching it I went out and bought the works - 550 stage 1, full yoshi, twin-air filter, and put two nice fat air intakes on top of the airtbox. It's transformed the bike - smooth from the get go - just lots more grunt right through and about an extra 3,000 usable revs at the top. Thanks all round - and a special shout out to Maverick at 550, not only is the product A1, the customer service is too,
I bought my CRF 300L last summer. I've put on a complete Ohlin's suspension and a Yoshimura exhaust and racing air filter. Upgraded chain and sprockets and handlebars. The 550 Performance ECU is coming soon!!!
Ima big guy. 6'4 and 300lbs. I have a ktm 690 enduro r also a yzf450. I choose the 300l as my most recent purchase for trail rides in the mountains on single track very similar to what you're riding here. I did everything you have done but a dropped a tooth on the front sprocket to help compensate for my size and elevation. Here in Southeast Idaho im at 5000ft and ride often at 8000ft. So far so good.
something you said doesn't add up. if you previously had to shift up to 3rd then back down to 2nd that means your wheel was turning FASTER before.?????. because a new ECU does not change your gear ratio (my immediate thoughts - BUT : )... I would like to know a little more as to how you were able to leave it in 2nd.. is that because before, you were losing power at a certain RPM and had to shift to keep power on the wheel at the exact same speed where now it keeps pulling into higher RPM's in 2nd with no sign of slowing down?? (effectively blowing past the redline) ??? does a stock 300L pull all the way up to red line? or past?? I am just confused about what you mean by that. usually the redline is determined based on the engine pieces more than what the ECU can handle. that was some maniac riding in the woods. my cousin does that. I don't. I know what it looks like on camera though. I'm glad people like you are out there causing these companies to map out these ECU's. Seems like "plenty" of juice.. I wonder what top speed is on a flat highway now. I'd be curious to know.
Great video and Maverick treated me extremely well too. Very patient as getting stuff to Laos was not as easy as shipping it to another State. We worked it out. I bought the ECU, high flow air box lid and velocity stack. The difference in performance is noticeable. A good purchase.
I usually hate motovloggers with a passion, but here I don't mind for some reason (probably the editing and the fact dude doesn't just ramble on and on. He seems to know his stuff)
I'm happy stock. 154kmh. Im happy with the power off road but the suspension is borderline dangerous if you are not on smooth ground at speed (adventure daily Tanner sold his bike after riding on terrain similar to where I ride). Maybe because im under 80kg it goes ok
That idiot cycles through bikes just for the clickbait. Notice he still has his heavier, slower CRF250L? It's hard to find real riders who know what they're talking about because everyone wants the clicks. This guy here seems legitimate but I've only watched this one video.
Could anybody comment on negatives to any of the 550 upgrades? Things I thought up; but feel free to elaborate; Has milage decreased? Increased engine compression/premature wear? Gremlins that aren’t easily solved? Other???
It does come from a place of knowledge and experience but they arent liable they say that boldly. If your motorcycle blows up 2 minutes after that install, you own all the pieces 😂
Finally got my 2023 CRF300L in and exhaust on order and going to get the Stage 1 ECU like the 91 tune idea but not sure if it was not available if the 87 would make it ping or would it hurt it?
I would think so yes. The 91 map changes the mapping. This is mentioned on their website. If 91 is not available in some places, you can always carry an octane booster bottle. That’s what I do when I go to remote places.
So the stock 87 octane versus 91? What does that really grab you? A horse or 2 more? Everything else I have runs 87, wondering if it's worth the hassle to have one vehicle that is a different octane
Unfortunately as I don't have a dyno I cannot say how much power we are actually gaining, I can only say it is noticeable. Also, If the octane is a concern, 550 Performance makes an 87 octane Stage 1! Here is a link to 550 Performance contact page where you can request more detailed information: www.550performance.com/pages/contact
@@patoneill555 that's why I was wondering 91 vs 87. I'd go 91 if it really gave a huge gain over the 87, but if it's only like 1hp more id stick with 87. As soon as I get my garage I am gonna do all of the upgrades lol
Hi Pat is your speedo in mph or kmh.I own one of these and if its mph it looks like you can hit 45mph in 2nd gear??Nice riding.I do like to thrash mine as well and thinking of getting the ECU.
I'm gonna be selling my wrx race car very soon. This is going to be it's replacement. I'm a stay at home dad now and my race car will never be finished lol. Time to move on and get back on two wheels.
Nice Video, I am interested in adding the 550 performance ECU with Yoshimura exhaust, but I was wondering if I chose the 87 octane intend of the 91 octane what would be the difference, i am very new to this. i have a 2023 crf 300L, any info would be appreciated.
I dont understand the logic of buying a dual sport and then spend all that money to turn it into a dirt bike. Why not get a proper dirt bike to begin with?
@@NapoleonDynamite69 its a good bike overall but it cant do dirt bike things. Stock suspension is too soft. Power is meh. Thats why he had to do all that upgrades. My argument is that he could have bought a decent dirt bike with that money he spent. To which he explained about not having the need of truck to bring the bike to trails.
Installed the same 91 stage 1 tune a couple months ago with the High Flow airbox lid and a DNA filter. Absolutely love it! One thing I also installed was a G2 throttle and it's so much better then the stock, smooth and no hesitation when first twisting the throttle. Love the channel! Have fun riding!
That may be so. However, as mentioned in the video, there are many other benefits to this ECU. Cleaner fueling, a broader power curve along with more overall power.
@@stefanhansen5882 Yes, I do think so. That cleaner fueling will make around town riding far more enjoyable taking away some of the jerking sensation some encounter on the bike. Also, gaining more overall power along with having it spread out over a larger portion of the RPM range will make for better acceleration and highway riding.
I don't ride on major highways often. When I do, I usually keep it around 100/110 kph, which the stock ECU can do easily. This review was more focused on the off-road improvements as this channel is an off-road biased dual sport channel.
@@patoneill555 110 works for a small adv bike... And yeah, I've been watching your stuff for a bit and figured you didn't see much highway. Love watching you rip around that track; thanks for the reply and love the content.
Unfortunately, the DNA filter is a K&N style filter. Great for road riding. However, once you get serious in the dirt, they tend to get clogged up much faster than a proper foam filter. Hence, why performance off-road bikes run the foam style direct from the factory.
Finally someone that knows how to ride one of these!
After 500ks on the bike I did the 550 1.5 mod and was very happy with the smoothness and the power delivery just keeps getting it.

Great video man, you ride like I wish I could. Are you still riding 14/42T on it?
Fantastic! Cool video!
Great video!
Fast as F*** as usual
As an ex racer, is the 300l really enough? Im tempted to just take a risk on the Kove 450

Incredible, are you still on stock suspension? i would be shocked if you were
Not here, lol
But in this one I am: th-cam.com/video/52z7-EduNtI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=W4nHUCqhQvDGTlZE
lol, love your videos man
@patoneill555 hail to the king, you got some skills brother
The stock is the best, all those upgrades all much about nothing 😊
Did I miss the Dyno test results ?
I was able to get a chart from Maverick. Stock - 23.51hp Peak. 550 Stage 1 - 27.87hp Peak.
Better gas mileage?
Do you have stock suspension on this bike?
Check out my other videos! 👍
What gearing and tyres are you on
Stock gearing. Using a Kenda Southwick on the front and a Trackmaster on the rear.
The throttle is not fixed.
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. Can you elaborate?
@@patoneill555 The throttle response is still abrupt.
@fcalin21 Actually, it is much smoother than stock. I do mention this in the wrap-up segment near the end of the video. 🍻
@@patoneill555 I appreciate your effort in making this video but much smoother is not good enough. It can be made like Beta 500rrs , or Athena.

Yeah, I guess a lot of folks don't know how fast Pat's kind of riding is. The GoPro makes it look tame. In reality it's just jaw dropping.

Are you a Vulcan? Why are you hiding your ears? Nice riding.
what is your bike's total weight after all of these mods?

Hi, did you change the sprockets to change the gearing? Or are you running stock 14/40 sprockets? Cheers
Stock Gearing
I am so lame. I have the ecu and the exhaust and still haven't installed. LOL. I am still saving for Rally Raid suspension.
Interesting but makes me glad I have a pumper carb on my bike. Make a mod, new exhaust, big bore kit- simple jet tweak and off to ride.
Sir you are fast as hell. Hope I can ride like you someday
¿Your CRF300L has the infamous 5K rattle ?
It did!
¿So how did you find the solution?
@Josep Francesc the 550 ECU eliminates the rattle. The rattle is caused by Piston slap, and the new ignition timing has remedied this.
Hi Pat is your speedo in mph or kmh.I own one of these and if its mph it looks like you can hit 45mph in 2nd gear??Nice riding.I do like to thrash mine as well and thinking of getting the ECU.

With Honda reliability and that price how can you go wrong. I wonder with just the ECU how the bike performs.
Hey mate, why do people go with the Stage 1 and not the Stage 2, if the latter produces more power and torque yet?
Or I guess better question is Stage 1 vs Stage 2
Damn you can rip through the trail
Great video

Sight performance gain maybe not even noticeable. But their will be some gain with 91 over 87
Absolutely love this video. Just subscribed #RideRed
I dont understand the logic of buying a dual sport and then spend all that money to turn it into a dirt bike. Why not get a proper dirt bike to begin with?

👍😀
What gearing are you running?
What rear tire brand model size ?
Stock gearing. Kenda Trakmaster II on the rear 100/100-18.
Installed the same 91 stage 1 tune a couple months ago with the High Flow airbox lid and a DNA filter. Absolutely love it! One thing I also installed was a G2 throttle and it's so much better then the stock, smooth and no hesitation when first twisting the throttle. Love the channel! Have fun riding!
If there's hesitation, doesn't that just mean the cable needs to be tightened?
So from 18.30 to 18.16. That might be a lot for a race. However, it's only a 1.3 % improvement, which means nothing for everyday riding.
That may be so. However, as mentioned in the video, there are many other benefits to this ECU. Cleaner fueling, a broader power curve along with more overall power.

Also, gaining more overall power along with having it spread out over a larger portion of the RPM range will make for better acceleration and highway riding.
@@patoneill555 Thanks!
Where is your camara mounted? On your chest or helmet?
Chin mount!
👍What’s your gearing?
Holy Moses man. That is Fantastic 😎
what size sprockets are you using?
Stock all the way! 👊✊️
What are you seeing for speed gains on road? Any top speed improvements?
I don't ride on major highways often. When I do, I usually keep it around 100/110 kph, which the stock ECU can do easily. This review was more focused on the off-road improvements as this channel is an off-road biased dual sport channel.
@@patoneill555 110 works for a small adv bike... And yeah, I've been watching your stuff for a bit and figured you didn't see much highway. Love watching you rip around that track; thanks for the reply and love the content.
@TallManMoto I appreciate it. Stoked you're enjoying the channel.
Wish they did this for the eu version
They do! Its hard to find on the website but its there. When i post the link my comment gets deleted for spam
So it’s just a plug and play?
Yes, the ECU is.
Did you change the cam ?
Nope. ECU, Airbox Lid & Imtake Boot.
i cannot believe how you can rip that bike. it would be interesting to see dyno comparison
I was able to get a chart from Maverick. Stock - 23.51hp Peak. 550 Stage 1 - 27.87hp Peak.
Hi, have you noticed any RPM surge at indle
Not that I have noticed.
I have.
You don't need all those airbox. Mods, all you need is a d n a air filter and it runs perfect with it with full yoshi
Unfortunately, the DNA filter is a K&N style filter. Great for road riding. However, once you get serious in the dirt, they tend to get clogged up much faster than a proper foam filter. Hence, why performance off-road bikes run the foam style direct from the factory.
