I'll be posting this on Craig's list in a few weeks if nobody here wants it. I bought this bike last year (March) and according to my Vector computer I have ridden it 1800 miles (93 hours run time). It is running as strong as ever and has required very little maintenance. Here's a list of...

Yep, the battery mounting is one step below crude! We definitely don't take this bike out in the rain or mud either. If I had to do it all over again I would change almost everything we did, but considering this was deigned 6 years ago it's not too bad. Steve P.S. Here is a company local to...

Here's an e-bike my friends and I built a few years ago using mostly off the shelf parts and an old CR 125 chassis. I rode a Zero 2 years ago but I like this homemade version better. I'm sure the Zero has improved since I last rode it. Steve http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58FpcSrTaTk

I was in that race (super-senior B class)! I hope people realize that this was a dead-engine start race and that's why the electric bike got the holeshot! Steve P.S. I managed 3rd place at the race, my best finish ever on the GG 300! I was in 2nd until the last corner when I let someone...

Maybe this equipment will fit your Husky: http://www.ecotrons.com/show_Products.html Steve

I've successfully repaired many radiators by placing one end in a vice and carefully working it back into shape with a flat blade screwdriver and mallet, as well as a few carefully placed wood clamps that can be used as "levers" to remove any twist. Locate the holes in the radiator and repair...

My friend who is a 33 y/o "A" rider owns a KTM 200 (2007) and he loves it. I'm a 50 y/o "B" rider and I've swapped bikes with him on occasion (mine is a GG300 6-Days 2011). His bike has a nice suspension set up but the low end grunt was definitely missing and I don't like that at my age. I was...

My friends and I call it "Steiner's Trail" because our super fast "A" rider friend, Jeff Steiner, loves it so much. If you head up Lake road there is a section near the top where there are 3 large whoops (jumps?) and a few corners after that you'll notice a single track trail paralleling Lake...

First, you'll need to make sure your powervalve is properly adjusted or the jetting spec's will not be consistent. I'm currently running: Main 175 Needle JD blue, 4th down from top Pilot 45 Airscrew 1.0 turns open Ignition map = "wet" always! I might try leaning the...

Brian, I'm in Sunnyvale and I did by my bike at Moore and Sons. I've bought at least four bikes from them over the years, they're my favorite dealer! I usually ride Hollister or Metcalf when I'm riding local. Occasionally my friends will drag me to the Sierra, Mojave, or a D-36 race. I'm...

Last weekend brought the first rain of the year to northern California and I went riding at the Hollister OHV park in Hollister, CA. I condensed my 40 miles ride into a (hopefully) interesting 7.5 minute YouTube video. Steve...

There are certainly many things to like about the GG (I have an '11 300 6-days) but it's far from perfect and in my mind not a clear winner over a KTM, it really depends on what you're looking for. Skill level, riding style, and type of riding will factor into which bike makes more sense for...

Yes, that's what is on my bike. Steve

I just test rode my 11' 300 EC Six Days after Dave at STM suspension re-worked my forks and shock. http://www.stmsuspension.com/ I previously had the forks re-valved but didn't notice much improvement in the ride quality, so I called STM because they re-valve the shock and forks and I believe...

I installed a DP 1601R rear brake rotor on my bike and the rear brake no longer overheats even with sintered pads. This rotor is from a KTM 950 Adventure and is much thicker than the stock Galfer rotor. It's heavier, but it really works! If you're having trouble with squeaking rear brakes...
