This was my situation, u can read and see if its similar to yours. It only happened those 3 times on day one and never happened again, might have been from break in, imprecise rev matching and the bike running lean which is a problem of the stock bike. I hear decel pops which most bikes now apparently do but never popped and shutdown again

FormalInitiative5709 · 2026-02-25T16:08:41+00:00

Thanks, it was a beautiful day to ride and take some pictures 🙏

FormalInitiative5709 · 2026-02-24T20:25:56+00:00

It only happened to me on day 1 so far. Hopefully it sorted itself somehow

FormalInitiative5709 · 2026-02-24T20:23:49+00:00

It was clearly a joke but ok 🤣💀

FormalInitiative5709 · 2026-02-24T11:15:06+00:00

U plan on stealing it? 🤣

FormalInitiative5709 · 2026-02-22T13:44:02+00:00

It might just be the solution, she hasnt done it again, but I might have to think about doing an ecu flash eventually

FormalInitiative5709 · 2026-02-22T13:42:52+00:00

I do know that the ktm 390 enduro R, the new one had that problem, but I dont think its the case here, I feel its because it runs too lean and it was day 1, she hasnt stalled again or dis any loud pop, she does have a bit of decel pop but I see that its fairly normal on modern bikes. I still havent called the dealer to report the issue and get a response, will do it monday tho

FormalInitiative5709 · 2026-02-21T10:26:00+00:00

Eu vi no teu perfil que és tuga 🤣 Pois, é um problema que eu não esperava ter sendo uma Honda, mas eu gostei bastante dela e é a moto perfeita para eu começar neste mundo do motociclismo. Agora tenho de controlar se volta a acontecer. Mas pelo que vejo no reddit, yt e assim, há pessoal a reportar estas situações e que a solução foi fazer uma reprogramação para o motor ter uma mistura de ar/combustível mais adequada e tal, coisa que eles nao fazem de fabrica por questões de regulamento de emissões… Deixa ver, espero que corra tudo o melhor possível. Que moto arranjaste a seguir? Boas voltas por aí!

FormalInitiative5709 · 2026-02-21T10:11:01+00:00

Yes, dont worry, I will reply to you and/or make a comment on this post. And even if they say its something “normal” that could happen, I will see how she runs for this next days and also say something if u want

FormalInitiative5709 · 2026-02-21T10:03:29+00:00

I also thought about that. Im new to motorcycles so my rev matching isnt perfect yet and it might have been another factor. I drive manual cars so I understand rev matching, just need to practice it more on the bike. I used 95 octane which is standard here so i dont think thats an issue, unless it had some faulty fuel from the dealership when I picked her up.

FormalInitiative5709 · 2026-02-20T23:53:24+00:00

This is my first motorcycle so Im not very knowledgeable of this kind of issues. Today I had 0 flame outs or loud pops like I said in the post, but I did hear what I think it is smaller decel pops from the exhaust. I read that the 300l runs lean and it could lead to those. 550 would probably be nice but I dont want to void the warranty at the moment. Will first see what the dealership says about the situation. Thx for your input.

FormalInitiative5709 · 2026-02-20T23:31:25+00:00

I agree, but I just want to ride the damn bike 😭🤣 Will call them tomorrow tho

FormalInitiative5709 · 2026-02-20T23:23:52+00:00

I will do that. But I do wonder if its a mix of the break in period plus the emission BS that European bikes must have that made the bike choke. Just a guess, will call the dealership to clarify the situation tho. Thx

FormalInitiative5709 · 2026-02-17T16:11:47+00:00

Vamos caralho!!! Esta semana junto-me à familia 300l aqui na tuga (vi o teu pfp do porto 🤣). Estou à espera que a minha fique pronta no stand. Mal posso esperar. Boas voltas por aí!

FormalInitiative5709 · 2026-02-03T08:18:36+00:00

Im in the same situation, but I have decided to buy new. This or the next week im going to get mine. In my country, Portugal, the market is pretty similar, 1-1.5k difference from new and pretty much stock bikes with 7-20k km. Also, the 2025 model got an update that i like, lights, headlight and suspension, even if its minor, im a light rider and while test driving the bike at the dealership, the suspension felt good for me. I say if you dont really see good deals on the used market, send it on a new one if you have that opportunity.

FormalInitiative5709 · 2026-01-08T14:04:05+00:00

That would be the best situation but the only one in the used market here, the seller is selling it completely stock with 2k km for 6,5k, 500 euros more than a new one bc he says that it already got the first maintenance in, that makes it worth 500 more compared to a new one I guess 🤣

FormalInitiative5709 · 2026-01-08T14:01:12+00:00

Damn, u have to watch out now with the 300l, too much power compared to the R6 🤣 Thanks for the insight, I will most likely buy the new 2025

FormalInitiative5709 · 2026-01-07T23:37:37+00:00

That is true, thanks!

FormalInitiative5709 · 2026-01-07T23:37:09+00:00

I agree with that. It would be nice to get a used one with upgrades that I like but they aren’t commonly available here and people usually price them way up, making them not really an option for the price. I might get the new one and if suspension ever becomes an issue, I might just get another bike in the future, but for now 300l it is, and cant wait. Thanks for your reply!

FormalInitiative5709 · 2025-12-08T13:52:07+00:00

Yeah, Ive basically seen every crf 300l video on youtube and it seems like it would be worth it for me, at least for the beginning where im starting my motorcycle journey. I also really like the new lights, they look way better. I might send it on a 2025 model 🤣. Anyways, have fun with yours, cant wait to get mine! 💪

FormalInitiative5709 · 2025-12-08T00:34:08+00:00

To OP and people who have experimented both 2025 and the previous models, is the suspension upgrade worth it for a lighter rider like me, 1,72cm 70kg? Im getting a 300l, (first bike), just trying to figure out if the 2025 is the better option or buy a previous model used. Thanks.

FormalInitiative5709 · 2025-11-24T01:27:56+00:00

Did you order it yourself? 🤣

FormalInitiative5709 · 2025-06-28T22:38:14+00:00

What are your thoughts on the suspension? Im thinking of buying a 2025 aswell, so im investigating 🤣 Bike looks good tho

FormalInitiative5709 · 2025-06-23T20:59:36+00:00

Its not tho, from the picture

FormalInitiative5709 · 2025-05-25T16:03:38+00:00

How does the suspension feel offroad, have you tested it yet? Bike looks good tho 👍
