    Honda Sahara 300

    Air cooled bikes become more and more difficult to homologate due to emission control.

    Cruiser choice help....

    BoosterPlug really wakes up sleepy Harleys. Fitting one on a 1200 is a must to make it go like it should and to cure the 80km/h in top gear issue.

    Crf450L ECU mods / aftermarket ECU

    EJK is OK, but double the price. If I could have fitted a BoosterPlug on my CRF300L instead, I would have as it is so hassle free.

    Crf450L ECU mods / aftermarket ECU

    BoosterPlug increases the AFR with 6%. It reduces pop, help it to run cooler, and you won't have to feather the clutch all the time to make it run smooth. Plug 'n Play, integrates with the ECU. No cut wires.

    Indeed. There is a BoosterPlug available for a 2018-2022 CRF450L. I have stock.

    BUT I AM YOUR CLIENT !

    Or like the taxis. Quote on a job. On payment they say: I will only pay you so much. Take it or leave it. Just wondering how much business sense does your ex client have. Because Time is money...

    Pan-Africa bikes

    1. Watch Itchy boots s.7 2. The bike with the least km and wear and tear you can find. New, just run in bike is best. 3. In Africa most bikes are under 200c. Most of the mechanic skills lies there.

    Help me decide - Sertao or XT660R

    I have sold many a BoosterPlug to Yamaha 660 riders complaining about lean fueling. Snatchy throttle, surging, stalling. So just know that standard fueling is an issue. Good news is that it can be fixed by increasing the AFR just a bit. The BMW 650 Rotax motors also run lean. They run much...

    Moving mirrors?

    Not sure about you, but through the years I have been plagued by mirrors folding in the wind. From Honda to BMW, from 125s to 1200s and all in-between. Clients come, asking to buy new mirrors as theirs are folding, and they complain about the quality. Or is it? Riding city speeds usually don't...

    Honda Bloem het hulle eventually verkoop vir R71000 om van die voorraad ontslae te raak. Hulle was iets soos R80k+ in 2020. Nou is hulle gewild - soos 'n skilder wat eers moet doodgaan🥲

    That's the one. I got a black 2020 CRF250L with 1500 km on the clock.

    CRF300 Rally thread

    It would be interesting to see what Honda does with its 2025 upgrade of the 300L. The 2017 got 1.2kw more, and an adjusted power curve to favour high rpm riding...

    CRF300 Rally thread

    Hi Zanie. Do you now ride the 300? I have had the 2013 CRF250L, sold it to get the 2020 CRF250L (my son rides it), and I ride the 300l. Did you ride the long distances with a 2017 onwards 250 Rally? There is a difference between the 2013 and 2017- CRF250. The 2013 was tuned for torque. It revs...

    CRF300 Rally thread

    Hi Tom Thanks for explaining. Yes, I have a topbox on my 300L as well. It transforms the bike from a toy to a tool. And my topbox works every day! I understand where you come from fully, with pannier frames and all. My frame of mind was just different, looking at what Noraly is doing, and...

    Booster Plug

    I sell BoosterPlug, so NO!😏 Remapping comes with its own problems - there will always be a flaw. Many engineers spend 1000s of hours perfecting the OEM fuel map within the constrains they have. But it is like a robot painting a wall. It does a perfect job, the paint is just applied too thin...

    Those Enduristan bags are excellent. I know because I sell them😁 Personally I would limit weight by not fitting pannier racks or an alu top box. Itchy Boots' configuration is lighter and more durable imho. And one can achieve more or less the same using Enduristan products.

    Booster Plug

    Thanks for the feedback. Yes, it does make the mixture 6% richer within the first 3 seconds after change in throttle position and RPM, to improve low rpm driveability. But once in closed loop (3 seconds of constant throttle or constant rpm) the lambda sensor takes over and makes the bike run...

    Thanks Tom. That is what I wanted to know. I don't like the 12kg extra, but the wind protection, especially when covering distances might just be important enough.
