Im looking for a good accurate idea on how much I should be paying for a crf300l rally. Out the door price. It's been awhile buying and I know some dealers can jack the price up. I know they need to make a living but im not looking to pay their mortgage. Out the door price what did you pay?
I have a bit of a conundrum I hope you good folks can help me solve. I'm getting ready to go camping on my rally this fall and I have 2 luggage options in my budget currently:
Buy Tusk Excursion rackless luggage (~$200) - lighter weight, narrower profile.
Buy Tusk pannier racks and use the Tusk Pilot soft panniers that I already own from my previous bike (also ~$200)
If I was starting from the ground up, I think paying almost double for the panniers + racks would make the excursions a no-brainer, but since they're about the same price I'm having trouble deciding. I'm new to offroading, but my goal for my camping trips is to be mostly offroad, but stick to well graded forest service roads with the rare short stretch of 2 track.
So, would you go rackless or soft panniers with tubular racks if the price was the same either way?
I know there are better on road bikes, but i love the look of the crf. Would the bike eventually struggle after doing 60mph consisntaly?
Hello,
Like the title says, prepping g for the big bore upgrade. Have the bike mostly torn down, to the point the airbox is out. Going to do all the airbox mods as well.
The service manual is…… ok? I guess? I think they assume you go through the entire book in order or something, for example, I skipped to the airbox section, tje manual showed only one bolt to remove on the battery box side. I know I had to remove all the fender pop pins and like 4 bolts in the battery box and those were in other steps.
So I am trying to see what else needs to come off the bike to disassemble it as little as possible. Couple questions.
I know the throttle body has to come off, do I have to unplug the electrical connectors , throttle cables, etc, and remove it from the bike entirely? The velocity stack seems easier to put on the throttle body by taking it off.
The right exhaust stud needs to come off, this I know.
The radiator, I have to drain, and remove it? Are there other brackets or something to remove on that side?
On the opposite side where the ecu is, I believe removing the bracket will be necessary, but not the abs equipment, correct?
Lastly, I did the pair delete already, I had thought about removing the charcoal canister, but the set up for it seems more complicated, looks like it might even have an electrical connector on it? On my t7 this was an easy delete, just a couple hoses but the setup on the rally is more convoluted.
Thanks!
Mike
I have a 250 rally and I ride off-road about once a week. It’s also my only and primary vehicle. I hit Croom mc area (same area Carson brown has been riding his 300 rally and a bunch of other bikes) it’s rutted to hell and all whoops. Will suspension do much to help me loft over this stuff ? I only weigh like 140 lbs but I have to double over everything unless there’s a clear spot for some air and a flat landing. Basically I have to ride these trails like I’m playing that old game flappy bird; constantly on the clutch and then gassing as hard as I can in second on the little uphill part of each whoop…. Getting farther forward sends the back end all the way up out of control and there’s not enough power to lift the front wheel. Any comments from anyone who rides rough trails would be appreciated. I average 20-22 mph through the trees but always ride solo so have no idea if that’s fast but I see the dirtbike ripppp over whoops so just curious about opinions
Asking $5,000 obo. Located in Southern Colorado. Bike is currently on consignment at Peak Motorsports in Alamosa, CO, if you would like to see it.
If you have been on TikTok recently you have probably seen this bag advertised and I can say it looks great on the back and fits my pmr rack perfectly
It’s a rockbros box from TikTok shop
It extends and can fit my LS2 blaze ll when it’s peak is removed
That they'd like to part with? I have a K tech spring to install, but I'd like to keep my bike rideable in the event it's not as smooth sailing as I hope it is.
Thanks!
So after owning two CRF Rallys (a 250 and 300), I finally read the owners manual recently on how to measure my chain slack correctly.
Mabe it is just me, but I had no idea the little slot in the chain guard is actually meant to help measure the slack! All that being said, I couldn't find a tiny ruler that worked for that spot, so I've started making/selling one specifically for our bikes. Just a PSA if anyone else would like one! https://stonemoto.ca/shop/p/chain-slack-ruler
Just picked up a 2022 CRF300l Rally. Have riden many bike in my lifetime, both on and off road. This is currently bike #3 in my stable. I think it compliments my Indian Scout and wr250r well :).
I got it so I could do some moto camping/commuting at a reasonable price point. I'm getting old enough now that I can't thrash single track like I use to, but still wanted something that was light and capable on something more difficult than a gravel logging road if I needed it to be. I also wanted something with a few more creature comforts than my wr250r had to offer (speedo, tacho, heated grips, wind protection, abs etc). This Rally checked all those boxes.
I'm considering the following changes:
The bike already has the upgraded YSS rear shock to fix the spongy stock suspension. I'm considering lowering the bike now, as this has almost completely eliminated all the sag, to the point where the seat height is a bit of an issue for me (I can't flat foot it anymore, and I'm 5'11, 200lbs). Has anyone lowered their Rally? Where can I shop for the kit needed for this mod?
With the rear suspension much stiffer, I feel like the front suspension needs an upgrade to "balance" the bike. Under hard braking, it seems like the bike really wants to nose-dive and pitch me over the bars. I haven't tried adjusting the preload yet, but my research tells me changing out the spring in the front is not an uncommon mod. Any advice on this upgrading the front is appreciated. Is this DIY thing?
Exhaust. Would like to make my bike sound a bit better. Advice on best slip-on exhaust, and where to purchase?
Hi everyone - I live in Massachusetts and I’m looking for a USED 2025 Honda 300 Rally for sale. Please message me and let me know. Willing to drive to make the deal
Moron Brothers Moto posted an interview with Maverick of 550 Performance about the 300L. I found it worth my 15 minutes, especially Maverick's tip about allowing the ECU to reset after significant elevation changes.
