I am looking for softer clutch springs for my GasGas EC 300 2019. If anyone knows a source please let me know. Thanks! Cheers Doc

Any news about your pinging problem?

Oh man, that's no fun. I am currently at 52 hours too :eek:

That sucks! What bike and model year if I may ask?

Any news on this?

We had a 2018 engine on the bench and its bearings had no plastic cages. It was the first time the engine was opened. Unfortunately I had not taken any pics but couldn't know that this will be a point of discussion in the future.

Could also be an earth problem. Check the main power cables from and to the battery and the starter relay.

In the meantime I learned that the N1EF is far less than ideal. After many hours of testing for my riding style (slow mid-technical in gears 1,2,3) I have found the following set up to have least low down blubber and best, crisp throttle response: NEDW (half clip richer than the above mentioned...

Same here. 4 bikes two 18's and two 19's they all had it. Made me crazy but now living with it. I think it is pipe bang, most of the time it appears when going steady and slowly or inadvertently close the throttle just a tiny bit. Bang! Sounds like a hard knock and comes from the cylinder...

As said on thumper talk, that bike has been left sitting with water in the engine, maybe by a previous owner. The corrosion in the case where the main bearing sits is severe. Such a corrosion will not happen in a day or two, not even in a few weeks.

That your carb doesn't react on the As has nothing to do with the float height nor with the needle. First look what is installed and let us know, then adjust float height and when you do so check float valve. Check how far the slide is lifted by the idle screw. Turning in the AS all the way...

Get the right cylinder head. The support brackets are there for a reason...

Spark plug died, that's my guess....

Yes, as the guys said. Best is to cut the N1EF in half so that you never can use it again.

I have read somewhere that the longer the can is the more spooge you will get... So what you say sounds plausible to me.
