Hi, I recently removed the lever from the knuckle and now it doesn't stay tucked in - it looks like there's a missing spring/bearing I didn't notice when I took it off. Can anyone tell me how I can replace these please?

The speedo on this bike is only wired up with power and speed - where do the other two inputs hook up to? I can't adjust it either - clock, stuck on mph, which does work though. I suspect it's not the original speedo - it's reading 9500 miles which doesn't seem right. I was thinking about...

I've got 98 unleaded in it

I've had lots of great help with jetting for this bike I bought recently - was fouling plugs and obviously rich. I got an NECW needle installed - it's now running strong down low but still a bit rich - air screws 2.5 turns out to idle. Starts easily. I also found the PJ was blocked. I'm going to...

Got it out with some effort... 175 mj 42 pilot - which was blocked. So there's one answer. Ordered the suggested needle NECW so I'll see. The needle jet looks ok I think - bit hard to tell.

Cheers. I've found it has #7 slide, N1EF needle. I've read that this is the standard needle, and also that standard was N1ED? I can't get the carb out...is there a trick to this? If the needle jet is worn oval what are my options?

Thanks for all this advice. I don't want the power too aggressive - is there a needle which will better suit more bottom/mid linear power?

Thanks. Australia - nickel pipe. AS1 carb. He'll have a range of jets, needles, etc. He's very sceptical about forum advice but I'll give him a few suggestions based on what I've read about needles, needle jets.

Standard jetting The tuner I'm taking the bike to wants to know how they are jetted from the factory as a baseline. Does anyone know? I realise they're very badly jetted and I'm sure mine has been experimented with, clearly to no avail...it runs like a drunk turtle.

Standard Jetting What does a 2008 ec300 come with from the factory?

Does anyone know what carb settings these had from the factory? Cheers Paul

Same as you. It's an 08. Fresh piston.

Carbon I noticed the piston recently replaced had a lot of carbon build up on the crown. I was also told it doesn't usually idle well. Other threads I've read have given me the impression that unsuitable jetting is a common issue. I would've thought this would be an easy fix - ie these are the...

New member here, in Newcastle NSW, 08 EC300. Anyone got any suggestions re jetting, curing plug fouling? I haven't ridden it yet but bought from a mate who tells me it does this sometimes. It has new top end and the old piston had a lot of carbon on the crown.
