I purchased the bike from the 2nd owner, over at ADV rider back in ~2017. According to him, it was like new then, and it was in great condition when we got it. It shows some trail wear now but is still in very good condition. Since we purchased it, I have done the following (that I can...

Message me and I'll email or text you a picture. $40+shipping? Shoot me an offer, I'm not going to get my shorts in a wad over "lowballers". I'm just trying to slowly clean out some parts that have accumulated. Thanks, Greg

Thanks Neil. On our other bikes, the copper washer always sealed between the bottom of the case and the plug (ie-it comes off when removing the plug). It was different that this one is pressed up into the case, so I wasn't sure if the washer/gasket that came with the Matto replacement plug was...

I am doing the first oil change on my new (to me) 11 300ec and the hex head drain plug was nearly rounded out. When removing that plug, no gasket came out with the plug. There is a copper gasket pressed up into the case that does not appear to want to come out (easily). The replacement plug I...

Thanks Zman. Luckily have have some time to ponder oil choices while I wait for a replacement drain plug to arrive from Matto :) I feel lucky I was able to get the other one out...not only was the hex near rounded out, but it was evidently rounded while having some serious torque applied to it...

Follow up to this discussion; I've always used Klotz FlexDrive 30 in my 2 strokes, going back to my 2000 Husky, through several KTM's (200's and 300's), one of the KTM's with a Rekluse. The website states this is a 75W/80. Any reason I should NOT give this a run in my 11 EC300? Any others...

Interesting--yes, I have it on the "rainy" setting (which is where it was set when we got it). I assumed that would be the more torque'y/lugging way to go. I will definitely switch that over and give it a comparison run. Interesting that the needle I'm currently using doesn't seem to be as...

Thanks for the reply guys. Apologies if this has been covered before. When searching threads, the results I read didn't quite seem to be my exact problem. Probably because I had it in my mind the issue was with the hydraulic clutch rather than further down the line. Onward.

Update: So I did not have a 42 (amazing due to the amount of brass in my jet collection!), so I used a 40, took the JD Red needle back down to #3, up to the 175 main. Air Screw 1-1/2 out. MUCH better. I also blew things out pretty good with carb cleaner while I was in there just to be safe. Now...

Our on a ride last Saturday on my 2011 300 EC, and noticed with the bike OFF and IN GEAR, I couldn't pull the clutch and roll the bike. The clutch seems to be disengaging with the lever while riding. I noticed that the site glass shows the fluid level down about halfway. So first, I figured...

So you're switching the base gasket to get proper squish?

Thanks Jim. I'll give that a shot.

38mm Carb, #7 slide, JD Blue needle, #4 Clip,170 Main, 38 Pilot (JD's Specs except 1 richer on the clip), manual choke installed, air screw set per JD guidelines, idle screw: (still trying to adjust correctly...when I got the bike it was screwed in to the stop). I have owned this bike just a...

Thanks fellas. After my post, I continued to search and also found the TwinAir reference sheet. The part number was the key :)

Good morning fellas. I'm the proud owner of a new-to-me 2011 300 EC. Per usual, I'm trying to sort out the issues (mostly minor so far) I have now inherited ;) The Twinair filter on the bike has a slice in it, and I'd like to replace it with another Twinair. I did find one on Parts Giant, but...
