Was out for a ride yesterday and was getting a strong smell of fuel. Got home and took the seat off and noticed that the rubber strap that holds the tank down was broken. Took the tank off and it seems to be separated at the rear where the clear part joins the black part. Does anyone know if...

Interesting...I was wondering what that 115 was there for since it is way off the rest of them. Is there something done to restrict the air intake for emissions test as well?

Has anyone tried this needle? It comes as a spare with the new bikes. I thought it looked way too lean but comparing it to the N3EG I just got, it is not that much different...other than what looks like single vs multi taper.

Ok..DDKs. Mine is an 06 300 but I'd say I got the LTR kit in 08 or 09. Found the posts from reverup...thanks. Will have to order a few of the yamaha needles and see how they compare. My friend just gave me a spare jet kit from his new 300 six days with a bunch of jets and a needle. Needle...

Just wondering if anyone knows the difference between the LTR -1, 0 and +1 needles that are referred to in a lot of posts I've been reading...can't seem to find the specific differences. Most kits seem to have the 0 and that is a similar needle to CCK? I believe my kit came with the -1 so I am...

You're right, the lighting harness is separate and can be unplugged from the rest. I plan to leave that intact and wire the 1, 2 or 3 wires I need for the coil separately with new wire. Just need to figure out which ones I need.

Hi, I am looking to get rid of some of the wiring on my bike that I don't need. I don't use any lights, horn, computer is toast, etc. I'm looking to keep just the basics for the CDI and spark. I have 3 wires that go to the coil and voltage regulator and am wondering if I need to keep them...

Another thing you might want to check is the float height. My friend and I both have 300s, an 06 and an 07. He would sometimes run out of fuel on his 07 and I would still have plenty. Turns out his bike was spilling fuel out of the overflow. We adjusted the float height and made sure the...

That's what my dealer suggested as well. There was some play in the front one. I don't think the bolt backed off any...it seems like the case wore slightly to create a small gap. Tightened it all up and will see what happens after a few rides. Thanks!

Has anyone ever sheared off the the braces that join the head to the frame up between the rads? Both of mine cracked, one at the head the other at the frame and I replace them only to have another one crack.

My 06 300 came with a GG pipe which was great. I bent it up and got a Messico to replace it which has the exact same part number as the original GG pipe. I found the Messico to be a little bit better on the top end...not sure why, they appear to be the exact same pipe.

Hi Guys, this is my first post but I've been lurking around for a while. Great forum with lots of info! I have an 06 EC300. I noticed that my rear brake took a couple of pumps to get any pressure and upon further inspection, my rear wheel bearings needed replacement. This fixed the problem...
