    06 EC 250 or 300 and spares

    Make an offer on just the bike,I'll go even lower with out the watchdog and scotts damper. I don't really want to start selling the spares off unless the bike goes first with out them. A lot of time and money went into the suspension on this bike and it's the best handling bike I have ever been...

    GasGas EC500 2 Stroke - what do you think?

    It would be fun but it wouldn't be very fast in tight woods. That's why they went away, tons of power but little is usable power. One of the mags raced a service Honda 500AF against a new 450F and the 450 smoked it on the track. I would love to spend a few hours on GG500 2 stroke but I would...

    Best way to run in my 300???

    2 stroke break in I've worked on 2 stroke race motors for years (for the most part marine) and on a top end rebuild we would heat cycle it once then race it. I've tried both methods and piston and ring life were the same. I treat my gasser the same way. It's why we all love 2 strokes, they are...

    Rekluse EXP Clutch

    I ran a rekluse pro on my Husky and have mixed feelings about it but over all I would do it again. The husky was a 4 stroke, I have never felt a need or desire to put a rekluse or any other auto clutch on a 2 stroke, especially one with a hydraulic clutch. I have way too much fun using the...

    Tubliss with trials tire

    Tubliss is the best thing to come along for the offroad guys in the last 10 years. I haven't tried the MX31's yet but the 51 is the wost tire I have ever put on a 250 2 stroke. I ran a enduro in Maine with one and had no practice time with the tires. I don't know if I missed big time with the...

    2007 Ec 300

    Tough time to sell anything, I'm half looking to replace my 06 with something newer but looking more at 08,09's plus a street title for it would be a big sell point. I'm not a fan of the plain white plastic.

    TM Designworks Chain Guide?

    " I discovered the endless chain a few years back when working on a buddy's XR 650. I thought it was brilliant, and have done it every time I have changed a chain since then. If you have a chain tool, it's easier than a master link, and there's no clip to fail." Your 100% right, I have never...

    Latest and greatest front tire?

    I ran the Dunlop Geomax 51's at noble woods last year and thought it was the worst tires I've ever been on.

    TM Designworks Chain Guide?

    TM doesn't stand by their products. I purchased one direct from TM's web site. The guide works great but eats master link clips. Use with press fit master links. Tm's customer service was terrible. They screwed my order up, didn't ship all the parts and wouldn't make good on any of it. I paid...

    What Brand of Piston

    The take out looks good but at 85 hours it don't owe you anything. I've never owned or worked on a GG 125 so I can't tell you if it had a flat top or domed piston stock but some one will speak up with the answer I'm sure. Check your clearances before you go too far or you'll loose a lot more...

    SHOEI VFX- W Helmet

    I have one and while I haven't worn it yet in a down pour but I have worn it in light rain. I haven't had any water problems with the vent holes. I didn't like the fit of the cheek "pork chops" and had to get smaller (ones for a bigger helmet). With the shipped ones if I opened my mouth it was a...

    Power Valve Cleaning

    You'll need to take it out to clean it. Download the manual from this site's front page and follow the instructions, you'll be a pro after you have done it once. 9 times out of 10 the gaskets survive but it's nice to have a set in the tool box just in case. Throw out and replace any worn...

    What Brand of Piston

    With the coated cylinders the jugs out last a lot of piston and ring sets. Make sure you have an accurate measurement of the cylinder before you order your piston. Keep in mind you need the right tools and knowledge to do this right. Most people who don't do this for a living can't give you a...

    Why are GG riders so down on KTM?

    KTM must have one of the best marketing departments in the world. For years they sold junk for top dollar and people couldn't get them fast enough. The bikes are getting better but still don't live up to all the hype. 90% of the guys blowing KTM smoke up people's buts haven't been on anything...
