It's unfortunate that we need to get the outer basket on these bikes. Some bikes run rekluse fine without it but not the gassers. All said and done my rekluse cost around $1400 Canadian. Not cheap, but that's the high cost of high performance. The guy above me is probably right about setting...

You need the rekluse outer basket. The stock basket will always howl really bad

So it turns out that JDs jetting was pretty good. My theory is that my auto clutch wedges were wearing out or were the wrong weight. I replaced the 11b wedges with 12a wedges. i believe that the heavier wedges will let the engine spin a little faster before engaging and therefore will allow it...

thanks for the reply jakobi I didn't realize that i may be better off not expecting it to idle in gear without dying. Ive seen tutorials on checking squish clearance. ive always just hoped that i wouldnt have to do this on my bike but i guess its time. I dont know how to check for a vacuum...

Are you riding a 300?

I have tried the 42. no real change except the idle screw doesnt really work. The bike has kind of a 2 step idle. idles really high until i put it in gear and let clutch out. then it pulls a tiny bit like it should. ive tried adjusting the clutch screw from all the way in to all they way out. it...

Also tried 178 mj 38 pj red clip 4. Exact same

No luck with recluse adjustment

A good wrench i know has suggested that i push my clutch pack apart further with the slave cylinder on my rekluse. ill try that and update

hi guys. 2011 ec 300. brand new piston and rings. riding in victoria BC right now 20-25c at 0 to 1000 feet ASL. Started out with the shitty stock needle N1EF with a 178 main and 42 pilot. it ran ok in cold weather. but still not great. always stalled out at low rpms. I have a recluse clutch...

hey man just posting to say i feel you. i have similar issues to yours. 0 to 1/8 throttle if i roll on throttle then back off it stalls. seems to be rich. the alignment to the airbox boot is pretty poor. because im taking the carb on and off so much the fastners are getting worn out and the...

husley, thanks ill let you know if my parts quest doesnt go well. New theory on the damage. Talked to a mechanic friend of mine. His suggestion is, maybe from the several times the bike flipped over and got stuck on WOT(this has happened maybe 5 times for 10 seconds ish each time) the inboard...

thanks for the reply phil, here is the picture. you can see where the shaft is darker which indicates it may be grinding on the inner bearing. it just seems strange that the bearing surface appears mint. im a little puzzled about how this problem could have happened and not sure if i should be...

Hi guys 2011 ec 300. Just did the piston and power valve. When I took apart the case halfs I took the water pump shaft out. The plastic gear is worn where the cogs meet the metal drive gear so I plan on replacing it. The water pump shaft surface where it meets the inboard case bearing looks...

So i went for a rip today, and it seems to be sorted out. It did stall once, but other than that it was solid for a 2 hour ride. Im glad and lucky it was sorted out one the first try.
