Congrats man! I’m sure you’ll love it!

@endurobandit the little I have ridden it around my neighborhood, I think so. Grew up on snowmobiles and atvs, sold them when ridding areas got built up. Rode a street sport bike for 10yrs, sold that when other drivers started getting crazy. Been almost 10yrs and needed 2 wheel therapy.

ebay, if you search hard enough. Not aware of other places that sell parts currently (I also sold the bike years ago).

@@endurobandit Okay thanks man. Love your vids btw!

3.5 - 4.5 hours depending on how you ride. Here in Canada we go by time, not distance.

@@endurobanditoh well i didn't know, i'm a quebec frog and i'm pretty sure we're using distance here. anyway 4 hours is good enough. is the dual sport version as capable as the 300r in the trails you think ? i don't have a truck but the trails are close to my place so i'm debating getting the dual sport instead of the R. im a beginner and a bit ignorant on all the models and their capabilites, last time i rode a dirt bike i was 10 years old on a TTR 90 and after that i rode only quads.

@@tarantula-man The dual sport version is not as good because the tires aren't as grippy on dirt. It also has less punch than the dirt bike version because of the "secondary throttle plate" which can be removed which is a difficult task (there are DIY videos on RUclips). If you are just doing forest service roads, and regular quad trails, it won't have a problem. But definitely not suitable for singletrack. (just realized I'm replying from my other YT account now lol)

@@BlazebeatRacing thank you i appreciate your help. i plan to mainly do quad trails so i think the dual will be enough but if i ever change my mind i suppopse i can just make the 300r street legal.

In fact it will go faster than that downhill haha. I've ridden a lot of bikes, including 300cc 2T with wide ratio trans, and this thing is still the fastest dirt bike I've ever ridden.

@@endurobandit interesting. And surprising

I go riding 2-4 times a month, and I have 2-3 Bear encounters every riding season. I never bring Bear Spray.

Stock gearing on the KLX, But slightly tighter gearing than stock on the YZ250X (+1 tooth rear sprocket). I prefer the YZ250X for jumps, sandy areas (the KLX struggles on sand/mud/gravel), and singletrack. I prefer the KLX for adventure/exploration rides, camp-out rides, rides that are 3+ hours (lasts 1 hour longer on a tank), riding in the evening (headlight), casual rides (The YZ prefers to be ridden faster), and rides where I know there is going to be very bumpy, rocky hill climbs (the YZ struggles on those due to tall gearing and less low-end torque). The YZ250X is my favourite though because it's rowdy and FAST.

@@endurobandit thank you for the feedback. 👍

YZ250X because I am a speed junkie and love 2-strokes!

The weight difference is barely noticeable when you are riding. It's when you have to move the bike or pick it up that you really feel a difference. It also goes down harder because it weighs more.

I was in the same debate, ended up grabbing the klx300r.

@@fizzdizz9835 nice how do you like it so far? I see the msrp is lower now too

@backyardscaler thats one of many reasons I went with it. I have not taken it out on trails yet, doing that this weekend. Only have been able to ride around the neighborhood a few times, but I think I'll love it. I want to see how much riding I can get in before committing to a "race" bike.

@@lucid0019 Thank you!

@@backyardscaler I like the Yamaha more, but the Kawasaki is better suited for adventure riding and camping.

Noble Canyon is my go-to place! Although I only went riding there once this year.

@@WhatTimeIsIt369 totally agree lol. That’s what I get for not holding the camera.

@@fizzdizz9835 I love both my bikes, but the YZ is my favourite. It really depends what kind of riding you do. The Yamaha is more rowdy and playful, but the KLX has better gearing, goes longer on a tank. Stallion vs Mule. I assume the KX250X is like Kawasaki’s competitor to the YZ250X. Probably some similarities but I really think you get a lot more with the YZ250X, check into it!

@endurobandit I'm just looking to cruise trails, not race. Not sure how much riding I'll get in so would hate to have a 10k bike sit. 300r I could run around my neighborhood since it's quite.

@@fizzdizz9835Sounds like the 300R would be an excellent choice for you!

@endurobandit I read sprocket changes wake the bike up just as much as doing the big 3. So will always keep that in my mind.

@@romand123 you shouldn’t idle the bike more than a couple minutes at a time. I recommend getting a pair valve delete and an EJK fuel tuner and your bike won’t run as hot.

@@endurobanditcool, I’ll look into those two mods. Thanks for the tip!

@@endurobanditjust put a few rides on the bike after the pair valve delete and that seems to fix the red hot header pipe issue. Next mod will be the tuner for some extra power! Thanks for posting…super helpful!

@@romand123 Glad I could point you in the right direction!

​@endurobandit, I've watched a ton of your klx videos, great content, and explanation. I plan to follow your upgrade path as well, but I wanted to confirm: Can you run the pair valve delete on a stock bike, without the tuner. Can't wait for the next ride video!

@@liveworkplaywilderness1877 Makes sense! Thanks for sharing!

I've heard that the wrap arounds cause broken wrists, but I've been using them for 10 years now and I've gone directly over the bars several times and didn't break my wrists that way.

I designed a full wrap that can be set up the most rigid, but also can be set up to twist on the bar. It is compact (looks like a set of flag style from the front), light, does not effect the bar dynamics, but I can't find interest from the companies for a simple deal. Can't get anybody on the phone for a conversation today even.

Yeah man, any cabin built on crowned land is free game!

They still have it, although ca models definitely have more emissions junk.

I am happy with it. Watch my review if you like!

also where did you get your hand guards? I have a 2022 klx300r and I'm looking to add some of these things but I don't know where to get them. I bought some amazon hand guards but they are absolute crap, and I don't know where to get a decent pair. Thanks!

@@michaelullomI bought the key ignition off eBay. The handguards can be bought off any dirt bike/atv website, such as Rocky Mountain atv or fortnine

@@endurobandit Thanks so much!!

@@liveworkplaywilderness1877 I agree, the camera doesn’t do it justice! I’m planning to go back with the truck in a couple weeks!

@@shanebrady8776 Thanks man! If you have a dremel and a jigsaw they are pretty easy to make from aluminum. But it did take me a few hours of labour. I’m too busy to make more at this time.

@@endurobandit No problem, I get it lol. Thank you anyway!

@@endurobandit Hey man! Thanks so much!

They recommend doing it by 80hours. But I see a lot of people waiting until 100hours, though it’s risky to wait that long.

Thanks man, I let him know 😄

Thank you!

The YZ250X, but both bikes have their own strengths.

@@jeffbaker1891 Totally agree! After that he’s definitely decided to get mx boots. I’ve been using the same old mx boots for over 10 years!

It really depends on your age, height, build etc. Just keep in mind the KLX300R weighs a lot compared to most dirt bikes.

@@endurobandit im 13 5'11

@@waqas-xs5bnI’d recommend a KLX230R or TTR230. They can do basically anything any other bike can but much better first bike.

@@endurobandit why not a klx300r? ive rode a ttr 230 and it feels more like a toy than a bike

@@waqas-xs5bn ok, I was assuming you had little to no experience riding. Your first bike should help you gain confidence on the trails. No point having a powerful bike if it scares you. But if you’ve already cut your teeth riding, then maybe you can handle a 300. I don’t think you’d like picking up such a heavy bike though. I’d recommend something lighter like a WR250 or other 250 that isn’t geared for motocross.

Thanks, it sure was!
