Outback Motortrek crash bars...gives you somewhere to put the Rotapax...then it's RTW ready

SoCal over here, been considering one of these. Great to see in similar terrains! Thanks.

I have a 2021 klx300. What is "high milage"? I have 5000mi now and change oil very short intervals and air filter as well

Average face-to-face fan .. 😂 ❤ 👌💯

Finally! Thu number of times I’ve been riding and thought I want to remove the SIM on my phone😂😂😂

Main thing is don’t forget liquor!😊

Yoh! Loving the content!

Great video and some great info. I assume you are getting sponsored for some of the items. If you didn't have sponsors, how would that change what you pack?

for brtter hifghway performance one tooth up on rear sprocket or one down on front one. It keeps the engine in the max horsepower at speed so bike keeps it's momentum when going uphill

A small wind shield to take presure of the chest is great on that bike

Thanks for the great review. I've got a fully stock 2021 KLX 300. I rode it from Nelson British Columbia all the way to the tip of South America and back up to Bogota Colombia where I flew the bike home. 10 1/2 months and 40,000 kilometers. I was fully loaded with camping gear, parts tools etc. The bike was genius. Not a single issue. Fully loaded, up hill and into a wind I was limited to 65 kph. Any other situation the speed was fine. At 55 kph I got 32 km's per litre. That's 150 miles per tank or 246 km's. 87 octane was just fine. It now has 57,000 km's on it. I just tested it and it has full compression and a leakdown of just at 7%. Beat that!! Great bike for anything you want it for other than racing.

@10:35 is exactly my kind of gear. I hate leaving the tent at night, so a pee cup is the way to go! I use a small Nalgene (wide mouth of course)... I carry a whistle instead of a SPOT or other sat unit. Columbia makes a pair of camping clogs that have a nice, thick sole (for trekking into the wilderness to take of #2 business). My tablet is a rugged one (DMD T-865) that doubles as my navigation device. I load it with movies and podcasts. I always have ear-plugs to help me ignore "What was that?" noises at night.

This is brilliant! I am definitely going to try this

Of course, that bike will be slow. There's a ton of aftermarket stuff thrown on there.

I’ve got the Honda 300L 2021 and just picked up a gray KLX300 today 8.9.24. It will be fun comparing them. I’m an older bigger guy too.

Thanks!

Nice setup, I’m still on the lookout for a better way to pack everything. I probably carry too much kitchen gear but I don’t want to eat dehydrated meals every night.

I recently purchased the Honda version last year and I must say, I had forgotten how much fun riding dirt bikes was in high school. Awesome bike class IMHO

That’s a good idea actually, I don’t have severe pain problems but it’s still annoying enouugh for me to find this video. I might buy a second seat though over “ruining” the original to my bike.

You will not need any electrolytes of you eat those freeze dried meals. They have hella sodium and honestly are very unhealthy. Stick to pb&j

My 2023 Honda 300 CRF L is SUPER snatchy in first gear. It requires an ECU upgrade. Is this Kawasaki 300 the same way in first gear? I'm really hating the "all or nothing" element to my Honda...especially first gear.

Nice looking street boots. Next to zero protection for dirt and off road.

You've got some great tips here. I was just going to a desert ride and decided against it. 120 degrees is just too much for me.

It was unreal when JT had to restrict hikers during the summer starting a few years ago cuz they didnt understand how harsh the environment is. I thought it was mainly German and Asian tourists but found out it was a lot of CA urban dwellers thinking they knew better. They wouldnt be able to carry the amount of water it takes to stay actually hydrated on a 4 hour hike in +100 temp's. I used my KLX to get out to all the mining history and abandonded stuff out there and it still blows my mind how the settlers and pioneers overcame the environment in the Mojave.

Hey man, some great advice here! Just a tip, for some reason your audio is only on the left channel/headphone for this video!

nice design, no need organization too much.

Some definite food for thought! Thank you for this. I just relocated from the Alaska to NY to West Texas. Went and rode for a few hours in the desert and this altitude and heat is no joke. I’m considering adding long distance runner supplies to my kit; gels and things like that. It’s not just about staying hydrated, adventure riding is a full body workout. Gotta replenish those carbs and calories as well. Great video, you’ve got a new follower!

I think I mentioned this before. Your channel is way underrated. Great tips and video 🤙🏻

Heated grips and USB outlet?

Great tips man, masterfully presented and filmed!

Great advice. One thing I added to my kit is this: UV-Blocker Compact Sun Protection UV Umbrella Auto Open Auto Close Double Vented Canopy Windproof Sun Umbrella UV Protection 55+ UPF. Great quality, compact, and found on Amazon.

I have a 2020 Suzuki DRZ 400 and a 2024 KLX 300. All the internet folks say the KLX is better because it has a 6th gear and fuel injected so I bought one to check it out. I can honestly say it gets ignored most of the time as I jump on the DRZ. It comes down to power and torque. The DRZ 400 is so much more powerful that it’s 100 times more fun to ride. I’m 6Ft tall and the DRZ has a bigger frame, less cramped, better suspension, no work needed, the KLX is too soft for a full sized man and I need to re-work it unlike the DRZ. The DRZ is just much more enjoyable, enough power to give you a bit of a thrill while the KLX feels like riding a moped.

All the cons you mention apply to all 250-300cc bikes. Personally I think a DR650 or XR650L the better way to go.

I ride mine at 60mph all of time. it's no problem

Ride safe and have fun my friend. Enjoy your new helmet and goggles.

I stuck between the KLR650, DR-Z400S, and now the KLX300. Ill be going to the dealership this Tuesday to choose one. If only I had enough for all 3.....

I just got home from a four hour tortuous ride. I don’t know what changed, my tailbone would get sore, but not like today. I rode the last 7-10 miles standing on my foot pegs, I wanted to cry. Something has to change so I’m doing this mod. If it fails and I ruin the seat, I’m getting a different one anyway. I love my Kawasaki Versys 1000, but today was like riding with vice grip’s clamped to my tailbone! No more!

Danny!!!

Thanks for the review! Probably the same trails I will look for here with my KLX 🤟

As far as mileage range is concerned, ive gone 130 miles a few times and still had 1/2 gallon left . I also carry an extra gallon in a rotopax container if im at all concerned about how far i might end up going, but haven't actually needed it yet.

👍

I never injured my tailbone or anything and i experience tailbone pain when riding my motorcycle for longer time. Is it normal and do i just get something like this? I don't really like to cut into my seat and rather buy Aliexpress comfort seat where there's a cut out in the middle? Thx

ugh what a shame, that 300 should be putting out 30-40hp these days

I'm about your age so I didn't need an acrobatic bike... I just got a 2024 a while ago here in Utah. I'm in the 'upgrade' phase right now after about 250 miles stock -- Just GOTTA void that warantee!. I'm looking forward to exploring the desert this year. My skills are a little rusty so I'm takin' it easy.

I'm just learning all this motorcycle stuff. Is your tank bag too far back to allow correct seated posture? On my klx300 I have to sit further forward than yours allows to get my feet underneath my hips (which I've noticed helps a ton in keeping the front from washing out.) At 0:06 you're sitting way to far back, with your hips and therefore center of gravity shifting well behind the footpegs when seated. At least that's what I'm being told by the "experts."

Been looking at the KLX300 and the CRF300L … I am kinda short ( 30” inseam and 180 pounds) but I think the suspension is better than that Honda, nit sore about the power or anything else. Thanks for sharing the video and any input on the two bike I mentioned.

Way to much stuff for a cheap off roadrr

Get your wheels balanced to get rid of wobble on the road

unless I missed it or misunderstood, at 3:05 you mentioned the tusk top plate and said you were going to talk about it in a moment. If you did and I'm just not understanding, my apologies. looking forward to more videos 👍

Some great ideas. Thanks for sharing
