nice work on forks mate..its nice to hear you can actually gets these sachs to respond well !

yep, totally agree greeny about not posting someone's "intellectual property" etc on a public forum unless permission is granted. I'll give a full report once I get them back.

Well, I sent my forks back to the tuner. I let him know exactly what was happening so hopefully they will be a lot better when I get them back. i also let them know to check the mid valve and report back on the actual shim stack profile etc but maybe they don't want to give those details out...

well, I took 10mm of oil out of each fork leg and surprise there was no difference. I methodically adjusted the compression and rebound writing down the results, but no setting would get rid of the harsh hit/deflection. It literally feels like riding into a gutter on a push bike with no front...

thanks for taking the time to reply guys. Greeny, thanks for posting your shim stack profile, it will give me a base to go from. I prefer to do most of the bike wrenching myself, I'm a sparky by trade and happy to swing spanners too. The guys apparently installed new valves etc,today I...

Hey guys, I sent my 2011 ec 300 forks and shock off for a service and re valve but after my first ride I'm still not happy. The spring rates were correct for my weight ( 85kg ) however the front forks still deflect off sharp rock edges and other square edged debris leaving me hesitant every...

The new PG graphic's installed

hey liv2day, the original owner just put it in for "preventative" maintenance because it was just there as a spare, i bought the bike off the second owner who didn't own a spanner! I have that original piston and there is nothing wrong with it, nor was there anything wrong with the piston I...

thanks for the advice mate, when it cools down here ( apparently going to 42 degree's here tomorrow ) i'll drop the needle and see if it was running rich.

Hey guys, I have the standard 36mm carby on the 2011 ec300 and I have just thrown in the standard JD jetting kit with the blue needle 3rd clip, 170 main and 38 pilot. It literally has a new piston and rings in it and would just be run in. It it really torquey down low, but up top it seems to be...

Just picked up a 2011 EC300 but I don't think the previous owner had ever heard of the word maintenance :) Bike only had 2800kms/68hrs and had a new piston and rings done at 35 hrs for good measure but I like to always do my own rebuild for peace of mind. So, new wosner piston and rings, top...

Ok, I can confirm that the 30205 bearing is the upper with an internal diameter of 25mm and a height of 16.25mm The lower bearing is the 320/28x with an internal diameter of 28mm and a height of 16mm.

double checked against the 2011 parts list and it shows the BE25610008 as the upper bearing part number so I should be correct ?..should ;)

Hey guys, just replacing the steering head bearings on my 2011 ec300. Now, the bearings that were ordered from LINK international were incorrect, so reordered with gas gas spares in sydney and the bearing numbers were as follows: upper - BE25610008 which is the 30205 bearing lower - BE250610008...

nice work bloke! looks like it lugs really well down low !
