Before anyone asks, the tune whistled in the end was Patched Michael - Careless tester
😂
Awesome! That’s a huge improvement over stock, five seconds is like light years when it comes to acceleration times.
Exactly. 5.6~ was something even I wasnt expecting even though I felt the bike is much faster 😮
Wow well it was money well spend and probably the biggest change is while going trough forrest roads where the torque and speeds between 60-90 are the key things and there it seems to be gained most with mode. Great work!
It's a big change for sure. From just riding the bike I was thinking it has to be seconds but 5-6 is VERY big.
Ooooohhhhhh!!! I cant believe it!! You did it!!! I'll definitely do the same!!! Amazing work amazing analyze video! Bravo !!
Thank you for your videos! Really happy to have found you and your channel. I own a Crf300l and looking to improve the performance since I had a drz400 before.
Do not listen to the keyboard warriors and please go on creating your great videos! Greetings from Germany!
Welcome aboard! And thanks for the comment 😊✌️ Lot's of CRF content still to come. The bike is MUCH more fun now.
Your butt dyno was absolutely correct. And you got the numbers to prove it. Five seconds is quite a lot of tuning improvement. Happy testing of the Tuareg, Günter/Nürnberg
True. I was 1 second off with my 12 second quess. It was even faster at 11.
Between 6 and 10 thousand rpm the bike is absolutely transformed. Before the updates the bike was out of puff after 6K and now it feels like it only starts pulling harder after 6K.
Worth it :)
That’s impressive results, I was thinking it would maybe be 1 or 2 seconds quicker but almost 5 wow! Excellent job and great real world data to back it up. I guess you have to make noise to make power. Probably my mods for next winter.
👍
The bike is very affected in the upper rpm range which affects this testing the most. Stock bike feels like it's out of breath after 7K 🙂 I would pay more to get the Arrow or Yoshi now. The Dominator is too loud for me.
Did everything you did except I used cogent Dynamics suspension instead. We finally have our unicorn 🦄 now ✊. I feel it was worth every penny. Don't listen to the butthurt haters saying you spent too much money, they're just jealous they don't have the same setup.
Agreed! ✌️😄
... Agree. A fun light bike with reliability.

I think your version of the velocity stack mod is one of the best I've seen I'll be replicating it on my bike I too will be doing the same basic mods as you I appreciate the hack to avoid the hacking of the air box 😊
Yes, being able to operate the bike on the local roads is paramount to a good dual sport bike. I've looked at many bikes in the
search for what I'd like & some of your upgrades/tests that prove them are guiding me in my purchase. I've got another man
who did a 14 / 40 gear sprocket setup that made 6th gear taller but she still had the down low grunt on trails he wanted. It's
such a personal thing for each person in determining what the want/need in a bike. INTENT ! Thanks for helping me know.
For me the stock gearing is pretty good both off and on road. I would definitely not go any 'taller' on the gearing as sixth gear is super on highways.
If anything I would go to slightly shorter gearing to improve acceleration.
Yeah, I'd tend to agree w/ you, I had seen another who did this & I appreciate what you've said. If I can go my local
speed limits w/o changing the sprockets, I will do this. I have not bought my bike yet & am only looking forward
now so I'll know what to look for when I begin riding it. Vid's like you have will help me to know more about what
to expect.... that's valuable. I do appreciate & I really loved the Fork Experts you found. I wish they were in the US!
I'll find one. peace
Just installed the full system from Dominator. Took it for a round around town. Had the same Ending as yours, damn my heart at that moment 😂 but I love the Sound, just a Tiny bot too loud when giving Power 👍
Yep it definitely takes some getting used to 😅 I have renamed my Honda with the new exhaust.. MAD MAX 😅
wow . it's is a big ifferent 5 seconds. amazing. looks you love this bike ;-)
Wow, that's truly remarkable difference! I'd guess that effect from most to least dominating factors are ECU, "box snorkel", exhaust pipe and silencer.
(Heipä hei, sinivuokot 😅)
Heipä hei 😅🤌
Swapping the rear 40T sprocket to a 42T was one of the best mods I have made to my bike. You don’t lose any of your top end speed for the HWY and you gain significantly amount of low end torque. Even with the ECU upgrade I was struggling to get the front wheel up without using a handful of clutch, but now it is effortless. Additionally, I was able to keep the stock chain. Upgrading the axle blocks does help when doing this, as it makes it easier to adjust the chain.
Totally agree. The sixth gear is so long there is probably no notcieable penalty on normal highway riding. I might even go bigger but I will do that when I change the chain and both sprockets too. Will go with X ring and probably full aluminium rear sporocket or partly aluminium to alleviate rotational mass.
You're struggling to get the front wheel up because the rear suspension is under sprung with too quick of rebound. 👍
@@JamesPiccone I’m no longer struggling to get the front wheel up since i recently changed the rear sprocket. My suspension was upgraded for my weight over a year and half ago👍🤙
@@airadaimagery692 Sucks you sacrificed top end .
By 2 tooths is not a lot and most of us don't ride these on highways. Gearing a bike is very personal to each individual rider. You can't say one sucks more than the other setup as riders and use cases are different.
In your last video about installing a new ECU, you showed the result from the dyno. Factory 23 horsepower vs. 27 horsepower after tuning. I understand that you can feel the difference, but I am surprised because I bought my CRF300L at the beginning of May in Polish distribution and the manufacturer states 27.3 horsepower as the factory data. Was your CRF throttled by the manufacturer or was this just the result? Or maybe in your case it's the result "on the wheel" and in the manufacturer's case it's on the crankshaft?
Yes the dyno is wheel HP so that's the reason. The dyno chart is from 550 Performance so that is not my test chart but theirs. They have charts for all the different levels of tune for this bike.
This acceleration test is pretty telling too though 😊
Wow! Never thought that difference will be that huge! 😮
Right!? It feels insanely different.
I’ve got the Oz 91oct fuel 550 ecu and full system, and it’s running close to the same time, it’s good enough or I’ll just buy a 450
3 months later and the jerkyness and flameouts are solved? Love the channel btw
After the tune I have had 1 flameout. Both are better but not 100% gone.
The 40mm weber ”tratt” that you ordered. Was it aluminium or stainless? /Thanks Stefan from Sweden
This SHOULD be the same or close to the same: www.ebay.com/itm/Trumpet-40mm-3-2-Weber-40-DCOE-slide-in-Velocity-Stack-ALLOY-air-horn-ram-pipe-/302330332445?_ul=IL
What kind of chin mount are you using for the action cam? I've seen some people use it but never found out what it is.
Ive ordered mine from 'chinmounts'. They have a good variety of different mounts for different helmets.
If you mean on the handlebar that is a standard ram mount arm.
@@PatchedBandit Ahh, I've seen those yeah. They are 3D-printed right? Cause they certainly look 3D-printed in the pictures and it makes sense considering the amount of models they have. For now I've actually 3D-printed my own for my Bell MX-9 Adventure so we'll see how that works out.
Chinmounts are 3D printed. Ram mounts are not.
So did you change camshafts on this also?
@@AustralianAdventureMotorcycles No. I have the full 1.0 tune and video on the channel about it.
If I go higher I would go all out with Big Bore kit next.
saludos.¿ me gustaria saber como afecta el mantenimiento de esas modificaciones, ya que llevarla a mejorar el rendimiento tambien es un mayor trabajo. que recomendaciones hay que tener en cuenta?
Riding style is most likely going to affect your service intervals much more than the actual performance mods I have done. If you ride the stock bike hard on enduro tracks it's going to need more servicing no matter the modifications.
I change my oils and oil filter at least every 5000km on all my bikes.

HI.. what model of rear view mirrors?
PowerMadd 34289 Star Series/Trail Star Handguard Mirror Kit
@@PatchedBandit thank you))
I think the 550 Level 3 has more power mid and high. Why did you get the Level 1 ?
Easy to do and Im pretty sure the most commonly done. Therefore lots of people are interested in it.
Top speed? Also what octane is it tuned for?
Have not tested the top. I have soft racing knobbies on the bike. 95 oct European tune. EU ratings are 95/98, which are equivalent to US ratings of 91/93. So, EU 95 octane = US 91 octane and EU 98 octane = US 93 octane.
I run the bike with 98 though.
Thanks for sharing! some doubts, Where is your 6th gear? and whats the top speed at 6th with the mod?
6th is more an overdrive gear and doesn't do any good to use it in this 120 test. Top speed I have never tested on the stock or the tuned bike just because I'm running a very aggressive knobby and the bike feels crazy at high speeds. 120 I can do ok but I'm not interested in breaking the speedlimits or tearing up those tires on a video.
So have no doubt. The bike is faster and the test method is the same as the one I did when the bike was stock.
@@PatchedBandit It's perfect! Thank you for sharing all this information with the community, it is super useful. Maybe when my motorcycle's warranty runs out I'll be encouraged to follow your steps.
Keep me posted ✌️🙂 Interesting to hear from others doing these mods along the way. Thanks for taking the time to comment 🙏
What is the fuel economy like now?
Surprisingly I havent noticed any difference to the stock bike. Around 4L/100km with my fairly agressive riding style.
I would like to see the results with the stock exhaust
ruclips.net/video/SuO-ksGzKLw/видео.html
@@PatchedBandit stock exhaust with 550 performance ecu and air filter modified,thanks
This tune is made to work with all the mods I did to the bike. If you want a stock tune there is a different ecu software available but I can't do all the versions to my bike. If you want any meaningful power gain you need to remove the stock exhaust.
Isn't it a 6 speed? Only see you going to 5
120 is reached faster with 5th gear so don't see a point in using it.
@@PatchedBandit ?....it will give higher top speed in 6th....
This is not a top speed test
näin teijät vapulla vaasan julalla!
Time for the big bore kit.
Maybe next winter 🙂
Not that its important, but a 0-100kmh would be interresting
Might do that just for a laugh but I do these from 30 so they would be more 'scientific' as from a standstill it's very hard to get some bigger bikes going the same way every time.
But I need some better rubber on this. I got the michelin starcross 6 and there is 0 grip from a standstill 😂
@@PatchedBandit yeah that makes sense :) I just saw someone else make alot of tries and always made it around 7,5 seconds and thought your little beast would beat it easily
Should do. The 100-120 is slow on these small bikes.
This sounds like a challenge 😅 But I want to have some 50/50 rubber on the bike first.. It's not fair to the honda to do it with these mushy racing knobbies.
@@PatchedBandit whatever you decide to film, im excited for it! Love the 300 footage and looking for one myself 👍
So basically 4k in upgrades...why don't buy a rx version???
This is fun 🤣
@@PatchedBandit yeah it can be kinda fun. I have a 300l myself. The only thing I want to upgrade it's the suspension. And that's all
@@MrValenttinno That's the main cost with these bikes. This performance tune didn't cost that much. Exhaust about 300e and with crazy finnish taxes the parts shipped back and forth are at most 400e.
People who have less strict importing cost and people who live in USA get this tune almost half that.
