I took my CRF300L on what should be a 2700 mile road trip. However things didn't work out so well. The tune was clearly not right (this was before it was fixed by Dyno Jet). The bike began to run really hot and the power was cutting out. To avoid damaging the engine damage I had to stop, disappointing...

It was "doofinately" great to meet and drink with you in person!
Much respect for actually riding there. Dual sports should never be towed unless broken down.
Thousands of dollars $$ in free performance stuff for jake to break down. Ride it stock boys, Honda knew what they were doing.
They run lean and hot from the factory. No thanks.
Not to be that guy but this bike would've done great if it was tuned right. Jake really didn't want to put it on the trailer and after we got it to Vegas and tuned it's been great.
@@marcochavane3124 they run fine, certainly not hot
@@marcochavane3124 I’ve had my bike for a year now , the only thing I did was replace the spark arrestor and it runs great.
@@guestappearance3211 I certainly disagree. My right leg gets very hot at stop lights here in Texas.
It's not "fine" since they have to run lean to pass emissions.
Added a Thai ECU that uses richer fuel map for $100 and now fan doesn't kick on as much.
It's a Honda part number.
the walking dead transition lmao
Love this dude, you're very entertaining with a great positive attitude, after all its all about the journey
Ahh duuuude, that really sucks. Am looking forward to your vids showing what broke if you have them coming, hope you were able to salvage something from the trip though. Ace to see Dork again in your vids 🙂
The sound of that 300 with the new exhaust and your normal “Jake sounds” reminds me of the old DRZ sumo vlog days
I love a good adventure video .... keep em coming buddy
Dennys, no vacancy cheap hotels, bike issues... This looks like a true adventure right here Jake. I'm tuned in.
Reminds me of my old truck driven days, and they staggering amount of times, I driven through those same areas!
Love the video dude 🤘🏻
Man, there's something to be said for just leaving shit alone. Yes you can get more power (0.75hp I hear), but a stock Honda will just go and go and go.
Looking forward to the next one :)
Or just giving yourself time to work out any issues. After getting proper tuning I have around 37% more overall power and almost double the power at certain RPMS. At 4-5k stock it was at 12hp and now its 22hp there!
haha gas urself up we all know that ur just a troll. Stupid build no wonder ur bike blew up!!
@@TheGardenSnake Wow... that's impressive. I guess those cams actually work! Glad it worked out in the end, it must have been disheartening to do all that work for so little gain.
Peter Jowett: Yep especially if you want the engine to last.
You can get a bit more acceleration and speed out of it by losing a few pounds of body weight.
@@TheGardenSnake Yeah adventure, riding on a motorway. Tuning my bike, get more this, need more that, it's all bla, bla, bla. Wanna see adventure on a standard 300, only change the rear sprokket from 40 tot 42. Thats it boys and girls. Itchy Boots a Dutch Girl on a standerd 300 honda bike riding the world, alone, no back-up, no notting, Thats adventure!
that is good vlog~fellow! 💫
This is why I've been wanting so badly for something like a WR450/400R. A decent power thumper with highway bike service intervals. Yamaha nailed it with the WR250R engine (mine has 17K trouble free miles), and I don't see any reason they couldn't make a 400 or 450 with the same concept. Unfortunately, I think emissions regulations have killed any dream of that happening.
Modding a small 250-300cc engine and going long hours on the highway is just begging for trouble. Unless it's more of a weekend toy, it's better left alone.
Jake looks like Ali G with his glasses and durag 😂🤣😂🤣😂
All of these guys saying “why didn’t you do this?!” or “you should’ve done that!” makes me wonder if they even inhabit the real world!
Riding a 300 that long must be brutal! You should’ve taken the fz but I understand that you would want to take the bike you’ve been building!
The fz would have crushed the road part. But once in the sand it would’ve been tricky. I need to change it to a 19 front, that 17 is tricky.
The rally version has a bigger fuel tank
You need to dump that Dynojet programmer and get a tuned ECU from 550 Performance.
Sometimes being an early adopter doesnt work out.
It's nothing to do with DynoJet, tuner didn't do a good job. I took it to dynojet later in this trip and now it's great!
@@TheGardenSnake How do you know that it's turned properly now? Because it was good in the beginning and once you changed elevations I guess that's when you had issues? Did you ride at the same elevation once you got it retuned?
My most memorable adventure rides is when the plan goes to shit. Side of the road running repairs challenges the brain. Be sympathetic to your ride and she will reward you. Best of luck.
Man this looks like so much fun/ Such a beautiful place, and those fuel prices! Gosh, I miss those days. Holy shit, those lorries/trucks are terrifying. Bigger and much faster than we get in the UK.
If my maths is right, my car has a 37 litre (8 gallon) tank and costs me about £70 to fill it at yesterday's price of £1.90. In freedom coins, that's ~ $84.
I hope we get a video on that comm system. That looks way better than the bluetooth stuff.
I was thinking the same thing. I’ve got the baofengs. Just not sure how to make them work for helmet use.
Hello, do you have vibration problems with the "Adventure Spec mini fairing"? Mine when you go on roads and forest slopes vibrates a lot and one day the mobile phone will fly. Thank you.
You look like Ali G with those glasses and skull cap on
you've come a long way from workin at frito lay !
What was the end result why you were having issues?
I’m considering getting this bike, of course I don’t want to have problems with her?
The very good of this bike is that only cost 6000$ for another brand new CRF.
There is something incredibly satisfying on going a long way on a small displacement motorcycle.I hate that things went south for you. Can you revert back to the factory tuning?
I got it fixed while on this trip. We stopped by dyno jet when leaving.
Bucceees 😂😂 “spend all my money”
That thumbnail looking like Steven Segal, just less bloated
Is 207° hot for that bike? The engine fan on my r1 doesn’t even come on until like 220°
Thimble sized piston opened up for 700 miles 🤪
Looks like you had a good time other than the bike issues on being lean? Rich it up a lil bro. Lol beautiful views in this too. Stay shiny and chrome, jake jake.🤝
You make great videos! I have a similar Baofeng radio. What do you use it for? Do you use it to communicate with other motorcycle riders? How do you connect the radio to your helmet? Thanks
I used an SR10 to connect it with my Bluetooth. It was so I could stay connected to everyone in the convoy. By the end it was two motorcycles, an RV and a car.
12:23 "it just don't have no power" funny how our speech changes depending on who we're talking to.
My 2012 Aprilia Tuono V4 gets to 230*. Fan doesn’t come on until it reaches 212*. I consider this to be very bad but its been running for 10 years. Wish I could get the damn thing to run cooler. It runs at 167* on the open road but all bets are off around town in traffic.
dude looks like mark walberg in some way lol, anyways you got a cool channel dude, keep it up
who me? hahaha
@@TheGardenSnake Nah you look more like Mark Twain
@@DorkintheRoad bahahaha yeah
I have always found the lack of under-run bars on US trucks a little disconcerting, especially when on a bike. I assume that your issue is a little self-inflicted and that a stand 300L wouldn't have had the issue. Finally, have you installed a temp gauge? All my 300 Rally has is an over-temp light.
Yeah I don;t love that about our trucks myself. The tuning issues are definitely self inflicted which was a big part of why I was so disappointed with everything. I had considered waiting to do all the power mods till after this trip just incase something didn't go right. I know better too so it's just bad moves on my part. I did install a water temp gauge, it's hard to see with the gps tower on. Heres that video, ruclips.net/video/YV_F8jazeeI/видео.html
What kind of windscreen is that? Want one for my drz.
I just have more than one bike so I don't need to mess with my crf300 Rally. If I am inclined to go hard out I'll hop on my wr 450 f. Easy!
Another Honda broke down at that ADV fest too.
I think a ktm or husky 690 enduro is a better candidate for a do it all bike, it may be double the price, but it's better spent, way better residuals too
never thought id see a BC license plate in any of your videos.
It can’t just be me who thinks that 300 has a similar rumble/sound to jakes old drz400 🤔
Great video. A 300cc cross country 2500 trip? Are you insane? Very Interesting tho.
You must watch the Itchy Boots channel here, 2500mi is nothing, not to mention that she avoids tarmac.
I mean bro what are you going to do ride a sportglide to the dunes
"Jesus Christ, that's JAAAAAKE" 🤣
How can I find info on your radio set up I joined the patron and te discord to may be help me figure it out but no such luck
Oh dm me on discord. Actually rivet is the smartest on those. We all get in the voice chats most evenings.
I don't think there's been a single long distance trip that I've taken where it didn't start out in the rain. Its like the riding gods love to see you suffer a tiny bit to see your dedication. Why did you guys not crash in the camper?
Truth
Mint
👌 put'er in the ketchup! Lol
It was that left bag for sure
Did you adjust the Doohickey?
Nice trip. That's a lot of beards in the video btw.
Should have just put the stock ECU back in or not messed with it in the first place. When you're shooting for reliability, you just leave it stock goal is to get there.
I just got a 300l an didn't know what type of helmet to get, does the sun blocker on ur helmet push ur head up because of the wind ?
A little but not as bad as you’d think, however I use my traditional street helmet for lots of highways use and I use my motocross helmet for when I know I’m going off-road, mostly because goggle work better for keeping dust out of your eyes
the community sound bites " i spent all my money" ....best
Steven Seagal in the house 😎
Yuhhh I live right by denton buccees jake wya
The thing I've learnt about the Honda 250r engine is that they suck, crank bearing, cam bearings improper clearance. And I believe it's the same as your unit. Pull the clutch cover bet you find bearing material on the pickup screen...
However lots of these bikes seem to hit over 90,000km no issue and when opened up still have life left. I think the proof is in the pudding. That's for the crf250l's (first gen 2015 style).
There's a 1980 Honda XL185 for sale close to me for $2000, I wish I could go buy it. It makes twice the power of a Grom and has a 32.3 inch seat height.. I could probably put around town on it now problem.. I think it'd be great to have a little bike to tool around on and tinker on.. I have no need to go fast on a motorcycle anymore, with my random dizzy spells it's far safer to be going slower so I have time to stop before it hits. (I have no clue why I get them, possibly my blood pressure meds, possibly my brain defect, possibly the skin cells growing in my mastoid bone... who knows) OMFG! Parts for those things are cheap as hell! A full big bore kit with a new cylinder if $60! I guess they share their engine with the ATC three wheeler... which means you could actually convert it over to a centrifugal clutch if you wanted to.
A dirty injector/carb can cause you to have lean conditions at part throttle too.
So could you have done the same ride without the Seat Concepts
I luv how u got the balls to do these mods to your engine and test it out.
I’m in the market for a new bike and I really want this or the tenere 700 but this bike with the gas prices might be a joy to have :D
Dude for real with these prices. The crf takes regular and normally gets 65-70 mpg!
I'm getting about 75 mpg on my KLX300sm. Love these small motors.
@@HuangHangLo 75! That’s awesome. I’ve heard some people get 80 outa the crf but man they must be cruising around easy. Best I’ve seen is 70.
@@TheGardenSnake I'm a twisties guy too so I'm not exactly taking it easy on her either. Pretty consistent gas mileage.
@@TheGardenSnake yeah, the best tank I've had on my 250 Rally was 78 mpg entirely in the city at 50 mph or less. The worst so far was 62 mpg cruising pretty much the whole tank at 70 mph. The range difference is 205 miles vs 160 miles. With earplugs and the windscreen/fairing on the Rally, 70 isn't really any more tiring. You get to stop every just over 2 hours to stretch your legs, have a drink, have a piss. Say 15 min. At 50 mph it's over 4 hours between refuelling, and you probably want a mid-stint break *anyway*. So a 600 mile day at 70 mph is three 15 min stops, while at 50 mph it's only two fuel stops, but three more rest breaks for a total of five. And four hours more elapsed time 13.5 hours vs 9.5 hours). Totally worth the extra $9 in fuel.
There's 2 things you don't mess with, Mother nature and Honda engineering.
Damn that mileage is whack. My 2018 crf250l rally gets about 150 miles of range on a tank and I live up in yhe rockies at 10k ft. Also have air box mod, tune and ejk
Noraly ....Rulez !
Not that its the same thing but my 2010 honda 250 r gets the worst fuel mileage imaginable i can just get threw a 30 minimum moto on a tank of gas the frame on the bike has 50 hours and the motor has 15 hours on it with a high compression piston yoshi cam and exhaust
Itchyboots laughing at this on here stock 300L
Not completely stock. One would have to be an idiot to trust the stock suspension for the kinds of adventures she gets into. Lol
@@HuangHangLo I think he means performance wise.
You're doing it wrong. You hit Amarillo at night, it's Amarillo by Morning and did the cows come home at the Cadillac Ranch?
Ohh damnn
🤘😈🤘
Shoulda got a Rally...
This is why you don’t take it to just any tuner
2:16 to skip the scam.
mine is getting 68 mpg
If that thing was stock you could ride it around the world. But what fun would that be. ! Love the video
yeah lol, it's fixed now and good to go
What is "fettig"?
Bahaha saw that too. Saw a dude spell somersault "summer salt" yesterday. Been some absolute head scratchers of late.
Like you've posted this on the internet, the same place where it takes five seconds to check the spelling of a word you're unsure of.
5:53 people who can't properly park or turn a big truck shouldn't drive a big truck. Everyone in Texas driving a pickup pulls out way too wide like that smh
Says the guy who probably parks his bike Infront of the Walmart Infront of everyone else heh heheh
Hey I’m from Amarillo 👀
I'll never forget that 1.5 prime Ribeyes I ate in San Antonio that one time.
Did you try slapping the tank and saying "whelp it's a Honda."
Why not just richen the tuner?
I’d need a laptop and my tuner. Didn’t have that at the time.
Do bikes run lower temps than cars? 210 degrees is nominal on cars.
The crf is thermostated at 170 from why I’ve seen riding around. So 40f higher especially if it’s coming from running lean is not good for it.
@@TheGardenSnake Gotcha. Thanks for the info Jake
Boy she needs some range. Do they make a Safari tank for the 300l yet?
Wow…I remember telling you before you should have just put a CB300R motor in because it would be cheaper….you just proved me right.
If you put a cbr moto in it would be the same thing. Actually less ideal gearing. It was just tuning.
OHo noooo!
Are you going to ride with Noraly??? 🤨
I don’t really know her and I doubt she’s swinging though Texas. But I’d be down if that was possible. I bet she has some pretty cool stories.
Man how much is raid worth??? Everyone is sticking 2 minute raids ads on, glad you're getting paid but dang.
Meanwhile Itchy Boots's plain jane 300 just keeps on running...
Exactly, mostly dirt roads. She drives alone in Africa, Asia and now crossing all Latina America in her way to Alaska.
@@jemirandavdint act like that bike hasnt had a bunch of 3rd world mechanics trying to keep it running
Looks like a non tuned messed around bike would have made it quicker as your tuned CRF didn't make it.
It's a KTM. Of course it doesn’t start
all that $$work$$ and $$delays/breakdowns$$ Ya coulda had a 450. ✌️😎
If you don’t engine swap that thing for something…. Just get a Africa Twin engine plz this is ridiculous
Haha I have thought about a cbr500 motor swap
So the moral of this story is do not tune the 300L. Keep it stock. Honda knows best.
Interstate 40 sucks and blows!
Issue? Basically too many highway miles on a single cylinder 😂
Stock that thing will ride around the world
checkout the guy on YT who did a 1,000 mile day on the 300RALLY
Itchy Boots did it better lol
Haha no doubt but she also didn’t try coving that many miles in that timeframe. And with a badly tuned bike.
Yea, when the average 'murican tries to outsmart a couple hundred japanese engineers with sloppy attempts at tuning and ghetto mods... What could go wrong, eh? But, but... Look at my dyno charts! Who cares about long term reliability! Whaaat? Smarter people just regear or (god forbid) buy a more powerful bike instead of messing with the engine? Impossible!!!
You modded your bike into unreliability.
You're laughing and cracking jokes around some other dude who's trying to fix his broken bike.
Five minutes later your bike is being loaded up and hauled off.
You should buy a Prius and do hybrid car videos.
Your level of ass hattery would fit that scene a lot better.
It was fixed three days later and runs great now. Just needed a proper tune my guy. 🤷♂️
I think "itchy boots" here has the same bike and literally riding across the world i wonder what she gets per tank🤔 Carhartt makes a good fleece face mask 🤌
She probably weighs less and isn't pushing more fuel and air into her cylinder if her bike is supposedly stock. You give and you take. If they raced their bikes it might be a draw for all we know because Jake weigh more so he'd lose to small female unless he added power.
