I had issues with brittle/worn wiring. On the wiring loom, there are some wires that became brittle with use and age, especially near the steering column, were the loom touches the chassis. Testing with multimeter will show continuity AKA "good", but it wont tell you the wear, if it is a weak...

Since you asked for an opinion: Based on what you’ve described, that piston should still be good for another 100+ hours. As long as you’re not riding aggressively or competing in extreme events, it should be just fine. These engines are built to last, even in God Jarvis hands. I don’t think...

check if spark looks the same when using e-start and kickstarter. You might have a spark, but not a good one. It should be bright and crisp, making a tiny sound. If the spark looks weaker using E-start, we could go from there. Does it start with the e-start when hot? Looks to me that it is...

It was the killswitch plug (CDI wiring side) that was lightly corroded inside, causing a partial short. I don't know how many hours I spent diagnosing this issue. Too many. Never suspected this one, as it is supposed to be waterproof, and tests for continuity showed it was good and there were...

rust and clay over the years can make those bolts feel welded. hit that axle hard, just make sure all nuts are off.

Update: Sent stator to specialist, he said it was fine. Anyway, due to some circunstances I ended up buying a new one, magneto included. No change. Coil and cap also new. No change. I don't know anyone with a CDI to spare for a test, so I'm ordering a new one. Now I have a very expensive...

I agree. A stator is much more likely to go bad. I'm leaning towards the CDI because of another thread online: https://www.thumpertalk.com/forums/topic/1403809-2018-ec300-no-spark/#comments I have a 2019 stator, with different coloring that the 2018 workshop manual, that by default has a...

Hi all, I have a EC 300 2019. Was running fine, until suddenly bogged down, like i hit the killswitch. It didn't start anymore. Noticed that with a long press on the starter button, it has a very weak and inconsistent spark. I followed some other threads about this issue and managed to...

Try softer grips. I suffer a lot less from wrist pain and calusses now that I ride with very soft grips (full waffle). Mind you, it's not for everybody since its a different feel of the handlebar, but you can get them really cheap without further venturing into the suspension set up. The con...

Those are some nasty grooves. Sent my cylinder for a nikasil replate recently, costed me 220? just for reference. Way cheaper than a new cylinder (europe).
