Seeing Ian struggle with how the bike so readily stalls under power reminds me why I got rid of it. :( #motorcycle

I don't understand how #Honda can sell it in this state. >:(

I Took a Stock Honda CRF450RL Enduro Riding - It Didn't Go Well (EP.3)

The Honda CRF450RL is a nice dual sport for some highway, fire roads, and desert terrain. It has a fatal flaw - stalling - for enduro type riding or singletrack. Where is my KTM, Husqvarna or Beta when I need one - those bikes are so much better for true enduro riding.

My KTM 500 EXC-F (2023) suffered the same until I replaced the ECU with an aftermarket. Think the emission standards are making it hard to tune correctly.
