    No need to worry. Eventually found the spec buried deep in the web!

    Factory float height for 2018 pwk38

    Does anyone have the factory float spec for the 2018 kiehin pwk38. I've seen figures ranging from 6 to 20mm. Surely there is some official info somewhere? 20 is not possible with my carb, it simply won't go that high. Bike is smoking like mad and I've switched out every part on the carb so...

    Keihin 38 carb tuning help me. Bike running like a dog

    Thanks for the jet block video. Tested mine and it's blowing bubbles. Would never have found that. If it's not the problem it certainly isn't helping! Cheers

    Keihin 38 carb tuning help me. Bike running like a dog

    With so many bikes having the keihin PKW 38 carbs I wuold expect a lot of info on how to adjust the idle and air screws, but yet I've found bugger all. A while back I took off a perfectly running PKW and put on a Billetron. Bike running great. I've taken off the Billetron to sell the bike and...

    2018 XC300 Flywheel - wanted

    Hi, I'm looking for a 'short gap' flywheel for a 2018 XC/EC300. Mine has broken magnets and I'm not keen on buying a whole new FW, Stator and CDI unit, which is required to upgrade to the long gap flywheel as the short gap is no longer available Or if someone has a good deal on long gap FW and...

    2018 XC300 vs 2019 Flywheel - are they the same?

    Not ideal then! Sounds like I'm going have to buy the flywheel, Stator and CDI all just to fix a broken fly wheel. What a joke!

    2018 XC300 vs 2019 Flywheel - are they the same?

    Damn! In theory what would happen if I used a 2019 FW with the larger gap? Would the bike run like crap?

    2018 XC300 vs 2019 Flywheel - are they the same?

    I?m on the hunt for a 2018 XC300 fly wheel. Of course I cant just buy the flywheel, it seems to come as a package with the CDI (which I don?t need!). Looking at the parts catalogues the 2019 (which is the same bike) has a different part number for the flywheel but it comes as a flywheel and...

    2018 EC300 Coil Resistance values? Misfiring under load

    For anyone searching this thread in the future for what the problem was..... Broken magnets in the flywheel was the issue. Managed to find a unicorn RH flywheel puller ( thanks GG for making life hard). Stator looked like new and tested fine. Pulled the cover off the flywheel to find the cracks...

    2018 EC300 Coil Resistance values? Misfiring under load

    for the hell of it I tested the stator as best I could. Colours in the manual did not align to what was actually there. How hard is it to make sure the manual aligns with the bike??!! Anyway On the four plug Impulse: White-brown : 94.2 (manual says 100 -+20%) Exciter: Red blue : 15.2...

    2018 EC300 Coil Resistance values? Misfiring under load

    Thanks for the info so far. I've recently done the 'wet mod' for the starter system - would that possibly have anything to do with it? Problems only started after I did that - not immediately though. Could just be coincidence. Wondering if getting the stator and fly wheel etc covered in oil...

    2018 EC300 Coil Resistance values? Misfiring under load

    Anyone know what the resistance values should be for a EC300 2018 coil? Trying to trouble shoot what seems to be misfire under load issue but cant find what the coil readings should be to rule it out. I got Primary = 0.2 Ohm, Secondary 19.6k ohm (i think). I suck at electrics.....meter was on...

    2018 XC300- How do I get power valves out???

    Thanks for the advice. Wasnt able to pull it out with vice grips or anything similar. Just before giving up I wedged the small right hand bolt in a claw of a hammer and put some wood under the hammer head and gave it a lever......right hand side valve finally came out. What an ordeal! Left one...

    2018 XC300- How do I get power valves out???

    Doing a top end refresh and I'm trying to get the power valves out to clean etc...... except I can't get them out using just my fingers. I've removed the retaining bolts, cleaned the area of muck but still am unable to withdraw the bearings and valves. I didn't want to damage anything so...

    2018 xc300 - front brake disappearing and needs constant pumping

    Forgot to mention that lever pressure can fade while the bike is sitting in the garage or even just moving it around the garage. Rules out overheating, warped disc etc
