Honda CRF300L Rally: Where the dirt ends and road begins, the CRF300L Rally is waiting to bring adventure bike capability to your everyday commute. The nimble design and plentiful low-end power combine with smart features for an ideal transportation solution through busy streets and bumpy trails. The bodywork is inspired by Dakar Rally racebikes, which means it looks as good as it performs. The tall windscreen provides solid protection against the elements. And the long motocross-style seat gives you all-day comfort and allows you to easily move around in the saddle. If you have a dual sport that’s even lighter and more affordable in mind, make sure you check out our honda CRF300L.
Honda CRF300L:
Balance is the key when riding any motorcycle. And we’re not talking about just balancing on two wheels: We’re talking about the balance between size, weight, power and handling that makes some bikes great-like the new Honda CRF300L. Based on our previous CRF250L, for 2021, it gets a larger engine with more torque and a whole host of chassis and suspension refinements. What you end up with is one of the best-balanced bikes ever for on- and off-road use. Perfect for weekend trail rides, it’s also among the best choices ever for commuting or urban transportation. And if you’re looking for a version with a windscreen and Dakar-inspired bodywork for a little more weather protection, make sure you check out our new CRF300L Rally.

Way better off having it bend, rather than break. Many aftermarket levers are less likely to bend, but more likely to just snap off, which in my opinion is a worse situation.

Bingo. Bending is much better than breaking, or transferring more force back to the pivot point. It's not "cheap," it's well-designed for that particular use case.
an aftermarket brake lever might be a good idea…..but keep the stock gear lever as its like the sacrificial piece rather than transfer the impact into the gear shaft/gearbox…and you can bend it back
The weak spot on my 300L Rally is the rider 😂 Working on my off-road skills all this upcoming summer. Keep up the great vids!

Haha well all of use can use more training and practice, I know I can.
If you were to ask a Honda engineer, it’s killing two birds with one stone., to be cost effective, and reliable at the same time. It’s a justifiable reason to save money while being the perfect solution to preventing further damage, as most dirt bikes are built this way.
Had exact same thing happen to me down in the Pine Barrens. Got it bent back enough to ride for the day, but ended up replacing it anyway. Gonna get one of those brake snakes. I think that would prevent this again.
I've replaced so many parts on my Rally so far, and dumped it several times, but I still haven't replaced my shift lever or brake pedal yet🤞 Eventually plan on replacing both when I put some foot pegs on it. Those are usually the first things people install. I'm starting to feel like I've done all my mods backwards lol
The same thing used to happen on my CRF250L all the time...need an aftermarket one haha!

I have been looking. I will probably get a new one soon.
That's happened to me twice now. Both times a strong boot has got it 80% back to where it was. A monkey wrench was perfect for the rest at home. Have since had a bash plate fitted which seems to cover the front of the brake lever quite a bit so hoping it will provide some protection next time I fall.

I have had it bend on my 300L but never this bad lol.
I compared little details of my WR250R with those of a CRF300L. I gotta say it looks like they threw a bunch of cheap stuff on the Honda. Quite the difference.
Had literally the exact thing same thing on my rear brake on my Rally. I had to use a tire spoon to get it bent out enough to be usable to get home.

Haha yeah so I had it bend on my 300L but never this bad where it covered my peg. And the fall wasnt even that bad.
If you're gonna have a weak spot, it's not a bad one , considering. Probably a weak spot on most bikes

It is not a weak spot at all. It is the aftermarket ones that will break and live in the shit. As he said it bends back
Me and my wife both have 300l and she managed to bend the gear shift lever into the engine once and at another drop the brake lever into almost perfect reverse question mark... For shift lever it was enough to bend it back by hands bu the brake lever had to be fixed by a friend who works with metal.. Those stock levers are tragic and need to go!

As others have said, these are sacrificial items. They are meant to break. Look up damaged transmission 300l to see what happens when the lever doesn’t break (spoiler: it involves splitting the engine case!)

Yeah I agree, I just finished the edit on the tire review, I will have the complete review up this week.
Sometimes a brake lever made out of swiss cheese isn't all bad
At 2:32 "I had to bend it back." That wasn't you that did the bending. 😅

@@MotorcyclesOffroad it was a 2:23. Not 2:32 where it showed some other fellow making the corrective bend. Then later you said something to the effect of: I bent it back. No big thing and certainly not an insult to you.
Pretty much every bike has this problem. Manufacturers saving money one brake pedal at a time. Even my KTM 690 brake pedal folded over like a $50 hooker on my first crash. Fortunatley aftermarket fixes are plentiful.😊

“Brake Snake” cbles re not gonna keep you from bending the brake lever under a hit big enough to curl it bck onto the footpeg…that small cable will snap in a heartbeat. Boomers know the origin of the brake snake idea was to keep weeds, tall grass and brush from getting lodged in between the lever and the frame….not to prevent the pedal from bending.
