Great responses and thanks for the input. He is an average rider, he handles the 100 very well and I am confident he can ride the 300. My main concern is the technical stuff like some of you mentioned. I'm not so much worried about him getting hurt or the bike being to much power for him, but...

His Kx100 engine is toast top to bottom. He is 14 and just about too big for it anyway. He weighs about 140 pounds and is growing fast, he's still a little short on the gasser, he can just touch his tiptoes. I'm thinking of letting him ride my old bike a(1999 300xc) but I'm concerned about the...

Thanks for the quick responses. I've had the gasser sitting up for almost a year and my son's bike just trashed an engine, so I'm thinking of going ahead and getting the 300 out of retirement. It's blowing white smoke and spooging badly, just started doing this after not been ridden for quite...

I know this should probably be over on the two stroke forum, but I was hoping to get a quick answer before I made too many promises about fixing a bike for Christmas! Does anyone know if either or both of the crankshaft seals on a 1999 XC 300 can be changed without splitting the cases? It's...

Would you be interested in selling a set???

I do have the stock pegs, I will try that with the spacers. Also, I have protapers in the universal mounts so the bars are higher but they are not forward adjustable. So far I have not found any universal mounts that are either adjustable forward or back or just hard mounted further...

I was thinking that was the problem and I've been looking a bit online for a solution. LTR has some clamps that look like they would work. It's a 1999 300xc. Could you suggest some other triple clamps, and or mounts that could help me with this....and where to find them. thanks for the relpy!

...well after a year or so I'm back on the gasser...wicked knee injury.. I didn't get to ride my 300 very long before I hurt my knee so I never got to fiddle with the bike much. I can't seem to get comfortable standing on the bike. I always feel like my center of gravity is "on my heels" so to...

I was looking at some pictures here, and it looks like the bikes newer than mine have a different layout on the left side number plate. Mine comes all the way up into the airbox on the side, basically creating the sidewall of the airbox. It looks like the newer bikes have the airbox cover and...

thanks for the help, I see the bearings on their site and I'm going to email them about my year model on the Flatlands radiator guards. I guess finding plastic for my bike will be near impossible huh?

Raining...again today...another day in the garage! I have a 99 xc300 and need to get some radiator guards. Force does not list my year model, does anyone know if they still make them for my bike or will other years fit. Also, need rear wheel bearings, is there a cross over? Thanks!

I have a 1999 xc300 and I would like to design my own graphics, does anyone have a template to use as a guide? I searched and found one thread on this but could not find a template. thanks for any help!!
