Thanks for the suggestions. I've been out of town, so just now following up... Yes, the bike ran/revved great until recently. The electrical items (plugs, wires, ground) I've not explored, and definitely a good idea. I checked the power valve by pulling the cover and watching the arm move...

I have a 2005 EC300 that runs fantastically at low rpm, huge torque, but falls on its face when "giving the the beans", so to speak. At full throttle, it almost feels like a rev-limiter that wont let it spin past 5000 (estimated) rpm. So far, I've cleaned the carb jets (which I suspected was...

Your reply does bring up another thought... what other parts/consumables do you think would be good to order spares of? The context of the question of course being that parts are almost certainly going to dry up at some point in the not too distant future. Having a spare clutch master cylinder...

Thanks!!

Hi, I have a 2005 EC300 that needs a new clutch master cylinder cap gasket/bladder. Does anyone know where I might find such an item? I used to order through GoFasters, but it seems as though they are no longer a source for GasGas parts... Thanks!

Good news for sure. Reiju does not currently distribute to the US though :-( Hopefully that will change...

Thanks for the opinion, and I hadn't recognized the wheels- good call. What's the consensus on the standard (non-inverted) forks? Doubtful that I'd be able to evaluate them on a gentle test ride.

There's an 2000 EC200 for sale close to me that I've been toying with going to take a look at. Though it appears in good shape the asking price of $1500 seems kinda high for such an old bike. What's it worth?

Maybe mods should delete this thread. Wouldn't it be sweet to see a 97 w/99 shrouds pop up for sale here?

Not defending them, no affiliation, don't own one, not Austrian, etc. But if I hadn't found my GG, I'd probably ride an orange 300. Anyway, just curious...

Sorry for the regression here... Are there any tricks to disassembling the swingarm linkage, or is as straightforward as it looks? I read mention that the bearings are uncaged. Does that imply special care is needed to avoid scattering the needles? Can the o rings typically be reused, or...

Now, now children... let's play nice.

Thanks for the report. Any chance for installed pics?

Excellent resource! Thanks for the effort in sharing this!

I just picked up a very nicely made riding jacket for a sweet price, and thought I'd pass along for anyone who might be in the market. Bought from Atomic Moto, and just met the guy who runs the business. Brian over there pretty much bent over backwards for me, so I thought that a good product...
