You people scare me! I'm only half way to the kms/hours indicated here.. but have owned the bike since new (late 2018). Embarrassed I haven't been riding much at all.

Certainly get it at under this scenario.. What I have found will reduce it is running your idle as low as possible.

I've drowned numerous bikes and got away with it. I've also seen a few pumpkins take a lung full of slop through the filter and fail to finish the ride. One on pull down had worn the rings so far out of spec they wouldn't even hold themselves in the cylinder anymore. Lots of variables involved.

Near certain that it does a check on start up. Shows and then clears. If it stays on it'll mean you have a code logged. Need to use a scanner with appropriate connection to find codes.

And for reference, this is where I set the spring at rest. Took some effort to bring it right around but the kicker recoils all the way as expected.

The 250 and 300 heads use the same support brackets. The cylinders use the same powervalve assembly.

Hahah! Australia! Doesn't look like QLD.. Looks more NSW-ish to me...

No worries. I think you'll find a vast improvement. Don't forget to double check the float height and carb alignment while changing the needle out. Cheers and Merry Christmas

rag in the air intake.. coil? stator? breather for fuel tank?

I haven't even tried to adjust it on my 2018. Last 2 ggs before that didn't have the function so just rode it. Like everything, it's personal preference. Also one of many variables. Gearing, tyre choice, engine setup (head/port timing), ignition timing, jetting.

Have a search coblers.. Topic has been covered more than once. Stock needle hasn't worked well for most the world for quite some time.

2010-2011 are essentially the same bike, bar the front fender and headlight. 2011 came with e-start. Smaller lighter, more nimble, trials like ergos. 2012 - I'd avoid. Transition year. Plastic subframe. 2013-2017 - Some variations in fork and shock combos. Some 2013 models had e-start (others...

Gromet from the rad mount?

Thanks everyone! Champions! Big thanks to Jeff for keeping this place afloat.. and apologies for not having a lot of presence over the last month or two!

I had some issues chasing the bushings in my 13 race (same linkage setup). You could size the bushings up and see if any of the after market suppliers have anything or could produce something to meet.
