Hi everyone! I've been researching and planning out the roadmap for mods on my 2024 Honda CRF300L. Suspension was my #1 priority, and I’ve already purchased the CRF’s Only Pro Suspension Package (front and rear with RaceTech Gold Valve kit), which is pending installation.

Here’s the full list of mods I’ve lined up across different categories. I’d love your feedback—would you opt for anything different or suggest other options?

Spoked wheels

I have had my xt600e for a couple of months now, and it being my first motorcycle with spoked wheels, I need some advice. The rear wheel looks pretty much straight vertically and horizontally, but a lot of the spokes don’t make that “Pling” sound when hit with a screwdriver. Should I bother fixing this? All the spokes feel tight and secure when I press/try to bend them

Are we still doing a snow ride?

Not much of a ride but still worth it. It’s like skating on ice.

Shin / Knee guards under mx style trousers question

I was looking for some shin / knee protection for my dual sport rides to put under my mx style trousers. I've seen some protectors like the O'Neal Pumpgun which have three straps to stay in place, and for example the O'Neal Pro III which have only two leaving the kneecap piece free.

Now, I know from my skating days that these type of protectors tend to move and they don't stay in place. Of course movement on a motorcycle is not the same as skating, but this made me wonder if knee / shin guards with two straps stay in place under the trousers the same as the ones with three straps. Any personal experience?

Thanks!

Does it matter what season you replace tires?

This might be a dumb question, but I'm about to change my XT250's tires for the first time. I was thinking about changing them after I do the winter oil change, but since the bike will be winterized soon, is there a reason I should wait until spring to put the new tires on?

edit; thank you, everyone!

Petition to save legal riding in NJ - They’ve just removed over half the legal roads from the map of Wharton State Forest in NJ. Even if you hate New Jersey, please take a second to sign the petition as they will start coming for what little we have left next. Link in comments

Sunday Ride

Kids pissed me off. I left to go get a soda at the gas station. 50 miles, 1.75 hours later I was home. Got side tracked, forgot all about the soda.

Front tire change help

I had a flat tire on my 2022 klx300.

I got the tube replaced, greased the axle and spacer.

I have the four pinch bolts loose and torqued the axle nut to 65 psi as per specs.

The front tire maybe goes 1/4 rotation.

Any suggestions?

What bike should I get ?

I’m stuck in between two bikes and I came here to see opinions I’m either planning on purchasing a wr250r or a Ktm350 excf I know two drastically different bikes but my thought process is I’m doing 70% street riding and 30% open trail riding obviously with that much street riding the wr is the better choice but when I do go trail riding I want that power and to keep up with my buddies who own faster bikes that’s why I’m thinking of the ktm if yall were in my shoes which one would you get? (Note: 6,1,220 and I don’t care about maintenance just need something street legal)

2023 Yamaha WR450F

I found a good deal on a 2023 wr450f. I’m looking for an enduro/trail bike that will only be on the road for short transfers.

I was originally going with a Ktm 350 exc-f but I prefer the reliability of Japanese brands.

How do the two compare and is the Yamaha good for my intended purposes?

How do I register a 1975 Honda CB550 in CA with just a bill of sale? It’s never been street legal, no pink slip.

Thoughts on this for my first dual sport?

I’ve been riding my 1985 Honda Elite 150 down forest roads and want to level up a bike that’s made foe that, but feeling like I want to baby step it up as a new rider. Thoughts on this 1986 Honda TLR 200 Reflex? Is 200 just too small (barely a jump from 150)? They’re asking $2600.
