Anyone know if DEP pipe for 07 250/300 will fit on my 06 300? Don't think they changed much until 2012 and up did they? Got chance to buy a nice new 07 pipe cheap but don't want to buy unless sure it will fit ok Upgrading to 2011 spec plastics/subframe too so think I may need different silencer?

thanks for that info, sounds fairly painless, was expecting something broken! Assume need to strip out fork legs to get to assembly inside though to clean off grease? cheers

Anyone had this issue? 2006 ec 300. Right side fork leg when adjusting compression clicker (bottom of fork, yes?) can't feel or hear any indication to be able to count clicks in or out. Screw just turns smoothly so difficult to know setting or whether in fact it doing anything inside. Have bike...

ec 300 06-11 upgrade Just in process of upgrading my 06 to 11 spec with upgrade kit from motocross center in Spain. Kit all in with subframe / airbox 7 shipping about ?500, Soumi ISDE graphics, not bad deal. Frame stripped and away for powder coat now, start rebuild in couple of weeks. Any...

Reckon with all the other bits done master cylinder refurb next step. Just make sure it's sorted before I get back, don't want any excuses next time out! Guess who? Keeping my eye on progress.

eff Not sure what was on there when I bought bike but had Talon on for last year or so. Very little use, maybe once a month and mostly trails. swap between 14T and 13 T depending on amount of road work I am doing and how tight the riding off road. Assume you fitted new shaft at some point after...

gents thanks for the input from all. Had actually searched subject and seen that a few others had same issue and I have come to conclusion that for time being trying locitite fix some have done may keep me going until I can face stripping down to replace shaft. I was more interested in the...

Anyone had problems with excessive wear of splines on countershaft where sprocket fits. Just rebuilt engine, (failed main bearings) and when fitting new sprocket noticed there seems to be a lot of slack between two components. Dont really want to tear down engine again to fit new shaft. Had an...

good point, hadn't though about the bushes. E-bay did the trick. Another job for me when I get home. cheers lads

Anyone know size of swingarm needle roller bearings. 06 EC300. Want to order while away with work so I have them ready to fit when I get home. Got quality industrial supplier local who I will buy from rather than ripped off buying OE. Read somewhere to not use caged type, increases loading on...

Many thanks to you knowledgable guys. Just what i needed, simple steps to work through and info as what I should be looking for. No complicated theories just enough to help me understand whats going on when changing things. Got to be the most useful posts on this subject I've read, well for me...

06 EC 300, rides well, idle a bit iffy. Set up on idle adjuster to sensible tickover then 30secs later drops down to really low idle and usually stops. To make it useable have idle set quite high so it races a bit when shutting off initially then settles down. Also lacks a bit of crisp response...

thanks for that. Had spoken to Allenperformance the other day and they were asking for carb details, model, type, size etc so was trying to get as much info as possible to give hime to make sure i got right needle and jets. Wasn't indents I was asking for it was ident as in identifying numbers...

Looking to get a cck needle and jets as per info ihave found on here but need to know carb model number /ident etc to give parts supplier in uk. Doesn't know what I'm talking about re needle especially. Or does anyone have different ident or equivalant for cck needle that someone might recognize...

thanks gents, all back together and looks good. Engine in bike soon ready for a weekend buzz round, I hope!
