I appreciate the responses. My bike has 73 hours on it and it runs well. I think it is time to replace piston/rings so I can get another 75 hours out of it. Based on the feedback I will order the Wossner kit.

I am looking to put a new piston kit into my 2011 EC250. I have owned the bike since new and I really like it. When new I ordered the parts that I needed to get it setup and haven't really needed much since. I checked my cylinder and I have a "B" piston in it. Previously I have used Halls...

Jakobi, Thanks for the feedback. When you suggest 168/170 NEDW #2 40 Pilot is this for 4,000 ft or 9,000ft elevation? I have been reading many of the jetting posts and understood after the fact that my pilot was to lean with the NEDW needle. I believe that is the reason that I was having...

put pre-load at 10mm. sag = 38mm. I did not check race sag tonight.

appreciate your response! Thanks for the post. You confirmed what I have been reading for GasGas motorcycles. I am going to start from scratch on my pre-load and then set it for 10-12mm and then check my sag. What would be a good number for this? What would be ideal? Also I will reduce...

I recently purchased a 2005 GasGas 300DE and had to change the front and rear springs back to stock. The springs were setup for a +200 lb rider and I am 160. I rode the bike one time with the heavy springs and was very disappointed in the ride. I then changed out the front springs and the...
