looks that way. Ill go with what I know and set everything to mid clicks and work from there.

Got 09 ec250 sixdays. Been looking at the manual and it seems wrong to every other bike i have had. ie The Manual states that the high speed compression on the shock is the inner most slot and has 18 clicks and the outer slot is low speed compression with11 clicks, All other shocks I have had...

agree no debate the 87 husky and early gagivas had rubber mounted handlebar clamps in the white power forks, in a minor bump these would move. So I removed the rubber and replaced with a pressed in bush and used stainless bolts, if I had a whack the bolts would bend but i could still ride back...

and they tighten into aluminium

There are diffrent grades of stainles like s130 very tough used in the aerospace industry. harder means more brittle, the bolt grades are to do with strain when tightening,

looked at doing that but a cheaper option was for a mate to turn up some alloy spacers and i re-shaped the head of two stainless bolts to fit the gasser clamps, total cost ?1.50 for the bolts.

Want to raise my bars by 25mm i can get spacers made to fitt under bar clamps but looks like odd shaped bolt holding clamp to top yoke, what other option do i have, loke the bend of the bars i got so dont want to change them just get them higher

I just noticed that my msr riding jeans dont have any leather on the inside of the knee. So I got nylon on plastic. Doesn't help with no friction, did think about getting some knee slider patches, stick velcro on the air box and a sider patch on the knee of my jeans and hey presto I become part...

Well it seems im not the only one that as a problem with the slim middle of the gasser

Got a 2009 gss gase ec250 sixdays, my problem is trying to get a grip of the frame or airbox area when standing, my old 90's machine were fatter in the middle and was no problem, find my arms are pumping up were im hanging on, Another thing are there hanler bar raisers available, dont want...

yes that look like it.

Got a ec250 2009 six days the exhaust mount at the front down tube / engine cradle as broke, Gas Gas don't list a rubber mounting for that area only a bush and bolt. Does the FMF Gnarly pipe have a different mount, I assume that the FMF would use the standard Gas Gas bracketery

my thoughts were chain slap or the power valve. Pulled the power valve cover off the primary side of the cylinder and the mechanism is on the stop but there is very little spring tension to hold it closed so it may be fluttering and causing the noise.

Been out today to try the 42 pilot jet. The needle is standard on 2nd position and got 178 main jet. off road ok but on the tarmac sections at around 35 - 40 mph it surges if you get into top gear and on an up hill when you open the throttle there's a noise like a small end rattle, don't think...
