Just bought a original nut axle because my other broke when fixed my flat tire and what i noticed is the nut isnt fitting wich is weird i bought a 2007+ nut for front axle . My bike is a 2008 ec300. Cant ride it didnt rode in 3 weeks… im wodnering if any front acle would work from ktm or other...
Hi! I just read your post and it’s amazing that you’ve kept your 300EC for 21 years without opening the engine! I have a 2008 GasGas 300 and I’m a bit of a beginner, so I’m always worried about breaking something.
I dont know how many hours does my bike has, but the piston has about 49 hours on...
Is the bike worth it to keep? This is my 2008 ec300. Soon ill need to get a cylinder for it because im on D size piston on cylinder.. and i cant go any further and that means a big amount of money for me.. is it worth keeping it or swaping to a exc 2009 2010 300? Im on toughts selling the bike...
Here. Also, im on toughts installing my old carb 38 original keihin , this 36mm is weird if i unscrew the air fuel screw 2/4 from maximum fuel it just hangs my idle or run very lean and im on 175main and 50 pilot. With 168 main and 45pilot it hangs my idle and run very lean with the air fuel...
400 on B size piston? That is just MAD!! Also alteady fixed the ting ting ting thing it was air leak 🤣 my bad sorry. And the suspension doesnt have settings up it only have big bolts i think that they are for changing the suspension oil i only have to the bottom of the suspension and its not on...
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for the best settings to get the most out of my 2008 GasGas EC300.
Suspension:
• Front: Black Marzocchi forks. They only have adjusters at the bottom.
• Rear: Stock shock. It has the 'screw within a screw' setup (large nut for high-speed, small screw for low-speed...
wow
I really appreciate your take on this! It’s honestly refreshing to hear from someone who has owned and rebuilt multiple GasGas bikes. You’re right—the bike has a lot of soul, and knowing that a veteran like you still finds these older frames competitive makes me feel a lot better about my...
Thanks for the advice, man! I definitely agree with you on the tools—learning to measure the tolerances myself is the best way to stop the guesswork.
Regarding the piston life, the main thing that has me worried is that I'm already on Size D, which is usually the last overbore for these...
I get your point about the money, but I’m not looking to buy a brand new 2026 model for $12k. My dilemma is whether it's worth putting more money into a 2008 bike or selling it as-is and moving to a newer secondhand model, maybe something from 2012-2016.
Even though I’ve upgraded the carb...
Hello, suspension is recently forks have been serviced marzochi front forks and the shock its still in a good condition, i dont know how many hours the cylinder has but i got the bik second hand since that i changed the front sprocket,carb,fork service, wheel bearings, jets, new golden chain...
