Congratulations Rick, that is a beautiful bike, I am officially jealous! I think the GP upgrade is a bargain if the pricing I saw was correct. Enjoy your new ride, I look forward to reading your reports and feed back. Thanks for sharing.

Hi All Just wanted to let you know that Funnel Web filters in Australia makes a very high quality filter specifically for Gas Gas. When I first bought my 2013 XC 300 it had the wrong air filter element in it, so I called my nearest Gas Gas dealer and ordered 2 new ones, when they arrived they...

Thanks for the replies, yes I did it hits the bottom of the gas tank I seem to need the 90 bendmine was born with.

Not sure what is normal, I have an AS2.

Hi All, I have a bit of mystery that I hope someone can help me solve. I have a 2013 XC 300, I snapped the throttle cable, so ordered a new one from my dealer, when it came (dealer is 1000 Kms away) it was not the same as my old one. The old one has a near 90 degree bend straight off the top of...

Thanks, I had the same shop cut the squish band down to 10.5 mm from the original 12 and scoop out the head. I now have 28cc in the head, time to put the head on the bike and measure again.

Hi F5, I have read your 300 head squish thread with great interest. I have had a machine shop re cut the squish band and cut the head so that I now have 1.25mm at the outer edges and 1.5 mm on the inner edge. My question is how wide is your squish band once you made the cuts on your lathe to...

Welcome to the forum, I too recently bought a Gasser, and am loving it. I ride a lot of tight rocky 1st and 2 nd gear stuff so to get some of the harness out of the fork I took the pre load to 1 turn, I think the manual says 2.5. They now feel much better. Mybike was way rich when I got it but...

I am by no means a jetting guru, but if I were you I would try adjusting the air screw as it has much more effect on idle than the needle position. It could be that it has been colder lately and you were border line lean before but now it is too lean. There also could be a slight viscosity...

I too am shocked and saddened to hear of Nicky's death. He was a true champion in every sense of the word and a great ambassador for motorcycle racing. Rest in peace Nicky.

Hi All, thought I would make a quick post about my new Fastway Evo 3 footpegs. I was a bit nervous about fit as Fastway only lists fitment to 2012 for Gas Gas and I have a 13, but they went on no problem. They are supplied with a bushing that allows them to be installed in the stock location or...

Just fitted a set of Fastway Evo3 pegs to my 13 XC300. They went on perfectly and have the added bonus of having two heights, standard or down and back about 15mm. You can also adjust their angle via a bolt with shims under the head. They list fitment for Gas Gas up to 2012, also Yamaha YZ...

Thanks for the report, that is a nice looking plug!

Thanks Jeff, I have a 38 mm AS II carb with a 7 slide. I did adjust the idle screw, had to back it out 2 or so turns, my air screw was at 1 1/2, now 2 1/2.

Update_ Got a NEDW needle and that has really helped things out. I am now running the NEDW needle on the second clip, 168 main and 40 pilot, air screw at 2.5 turns out. I suspect that I am still a bit rich on the pilot as it starts from cold without the choke. Think I may try a 38 pilot to clean...
