https://www.manualslib.com/manual/386957/Gas-Gas-Fse-450.html?page=64#manual At the end of the manual(page 62 of the pdf or 64 of the webpage) You can find a wiring diagram that includes the ecu connections with colors aswell. It is for the bike not wild but ECU should be the same? The legend...

Thank you for detailing what the issue was and how to solve it - this might help the next guy out who is having a similar problem!

I suggest measuring the resistance of the temp sensor on the cylinder head. My bike was also bogging down and hesitating(especially when engine was up to temp). In my case the temp sensor was reporting 9.1kOhm at ~20c which was totally incorrect. I had a spare and replacing it resolved the...

I fill it to the top of higher one at least, usually even more. My bikes have oil pressure sensors and not having enough oil causes them to come on at when bike is leaned to side or when doing a rapid acceleration. I can not tell you for sure that this method is correct but I have been using it...

You can usually find the part dimensions for bearings etc in the parts diagrams for your bike. Sometimes they will have the bearing code that you can search in google to find the dimensions. I have also replaced the starter bearing you are probably asking about and I got my part from aliexpress...

For MFS450626550 the cheap fix could be this from a post i made a couple years ago: I knew my starter clutch was slipping but even from ringspann it is quite expensive. I found a starter clutch with similar dimensions and teeth count on aliexpress. The part number for it is FWD331808BRB. Right...

I do understand that the bikes are designed for off-road use and not street use. As far as I know the engine is very similar to DRZ 400. The cylinder head might even be a 1:1 replacement and I think someone on this forum actually used a DRZ cylinder, piston and cylinder head. Thats why I was...

I was wondering about the mileage/hours people are getting out of their 450s. I use mine as a supermoto mainly for city riding. A friend riding behind me noticed blue/white smoke coming from the exhaust on harder accelerations. I let him ride my bike and sure enough it smokes. I use 10w40 and I...

I think you have a 450 FSE not a 450 FSR if it is a 2003 bike. Maybe searching for a FSE tank will be easier.

Do your forks have any kind of adjustment possible? What kind of oil do you have in them?

I have thought about getting a 2stroke Gas Gas as a second bike but I would like to buy one in non-running condition to fix it in order to get it for a better price. I have not managed to find such a bike for sale yet. Another problem is the fact that I don't really have space for 2 bikes and I...

I have a GasGas 450 pampera 2008 with supermoto wheels. The forks that came with the bike are "conventional" forks. I think they are Marzocchi magnum 45 mm forks. They do not have any kind of adjustment at all apart from changing the fork oil weight. As I have been riding on the street I used...

I would buy the second engine to have spare parts because you are going to need them sooner or later :D

My pampera rattles too and it is kind of similar. Happens at very low rpms or on very hard acceleration. But I think the cause of my rattle is either the chain slapping or something to do with the exhaust. Are you sure the noise is coming from the engine? Maybe the spring on the exhaust header...

No worries, thats why we are here for :) Let us know when you get the bike running!
