Great I'll give that a go. Then I'll file the splines a tad more and use anti-seize on reinstall. I finished the job late Saturday night and after I set the lever on, I knew I should've gone to bed and rethought it in the morning.

I just finished the the repair too. Used a 2001 EC250 shaft and gears on my 2017 EC300. I did notice the ratchet paw on the 2017 was shorter than the one on the 2001 unit. Didn't think of it at the time, but maybe I should have taken a few mm's off the 2001. I think the shorter 2017 paw gets...

Did the washer mod. Found 6mm x 1.6mm washers and it did make a difference. Not extreme, but a bit easier. Think maybe running two Ec200 springs with the EC/XC 250/300 springs would be good. Or better yet, pull two like Thompo did. Fast easy and no cost.

Thanks to all for the heads up. Good to know, I'll check the rod. I'm going back to 2 turns for my next ride. It must be at a full 2.5 turns, seems to rocket out of corners, but wants to loop out in steep rock canyon wall climbs, using more clutch and revs to make it jump over stuff last...

I've heard of guys pulling two springs on KTMs, sounds like another quick mod. Good to hear yours is working well. While I have it apart I'll go find some washers and give it a go. Maybe try 1.2 -1.5mm stack to avoid the cover like you say. I'll relay the results once I get it all running...

I didn't hold the allen, so locking turned pin it just a tad. I was going for 2.5 turns out, maybe more like 2.25 turns or so over all said and done. Noticed a change not extreme. What setting do you guys like and why?

Has anyone tried this with their GG. I'm running the 2017 EC300R and broke my kickstart shaft other day, replacing with one out of a 2001 EC250 has the nice heavy spline shaft over the grooved shaft used in the 2014-18 that break. Figured while I have the case off, clutch out to pull the kick...

Anders, Thank you for all the help. Exactly what I need to match a spring at the shop. Thanks, Ed

Thanks for the help guys. Yeah I was turning in the PFP just trying to tighten up the travel a bit before I started to look for springs. I have the Marzocchi Z-1 Bam’s on my singlespeed mountain bike and they have preload knob, figured it would work the same way. On my Singlespeed endup...

If the above chart is for Beta RR's 2017 Wouldn't you go up one step due to the fact that GasGas 2017 is about 10 -15 lbs heavier? Just wondering because I need to decide between .48 or .50 front and 5.8 or 6.0 rear. I'm 235# (108kg) no gear

Thanks for the heads up

Saw some older post looking for spring sources, did anyone find any in USA. Or know what springs will fit on the Reigers used on the newer 300's up to 2017s. Maybe KYB, etc? Anyone know the stock Reiger spring length and ID, with that could possible match something. Just didn't want to pull...

Sounds great. Sent you a PM Thanks Ed

Hello, I ?m having a hard time locating a USFS Approved Spark Arrestor for the 2017 EC 300. Looks the bikes were basically the same from 2014 or 2015 on? If that?s correct does anyone know if a FMF Q or Turbine Core from a 2015 or so will fit on the 2017? If so, I can try to order one...
