Cheers yeah I'll get a new hose good idea, I've got the old one to put back on in the meantime too which is in better condition. There is a small dent on that side of the pipe so that's probably what made it worse. Cheers for the help.

Think I've managed to get it mostly out of the way with some cable ties now.

Hi All, quick question, my expansion chamber is rubbing on / melting my coolant hose on the right side. It's been like this since I've had it, so I'm not sure if something is installed arse-backwards or not? 2011 EC250 I'm planning to sleeve it with a split piece of hose to protect it, but any...

Yeah seems it was just flooded and possibly a bit rich now with the fresh seals. In hindsight things were pretty wet so it makes sense. Nothing like walking away for a while. Had been a long day putting it back together and making a new loom. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks guys. I tried again this morning with it all dried out, no choke and it fired up. Zman seems you were on the money. Must be too rich now the crank seals are fresh.

Hi All So I've just rebuilt my 2011 EC250. Apart a stubborn gasket supplier who insisted gaskets for 2002 - 2011 are all the same, it all went pretty well. Until I tried to start it. It's had nearly everything new, crank bearings, seals, conrod, piston, re-coated cylinder etc. This is what it...

Awesome thank you that makes sense, the inner race is on the crank. Regardless which bearing I use I'll need to remove it, so I'll use the one I have (new style). In my pic that's just assembly lube on the bearing, it came without seals. Now to get the inner race removed... that video is...

So I've had a few false starts with my rebuild. Finally got the right gasket set after getting mucked around by a supplier who insisted 2002 - 2011 are all the same. Now it seems I've got the wrong left crank bearing. My bike is a 2011 EC 250 Enduro apparently. But I ordered a LH crank bearing...

Thompo you are a legend thank you. Clearly they've provided the earlier version. I've gone back to the supplier, take two!

Cheers guys. I'll source a GG one I reckon like you say, do it once and all that.

Hi All - finally got all the parts to put my 2011 EC250 back together and the gasket i've been supplied seems a bit off. See the picture. According to the part number it's the correct one for my bike. I've asked the place I got it, from but I probably won't hear back being a Sunday, and figured...

Hi, I would very much like a crank shaft as mine has a worn groove where the seal runs. I'd also be interested in some other parts if they're still available. I will message you. Julian

In New Zealand - happy to cover postage of course. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone have a spare one of these: Part number: ME25632005, number 8 in the pic below. Pretty common across the 200+ 2 strokes from what I understand. Cheers Julian

Hi yep the inner basket, this one number 8:
