I have given up on my sachs , im now looking for a ohlins to suit my gas gas ec 300 07 Thanks

kick starter i allways engage my kick starter first, i own quite a few vintage MX bikes and dont have problems with them, my KX500 is known for shearing teeth and i have had no probs with it. I have pulled it down today and quite a few teeth are missing.

Hi i went for a ride on the weekend and it appears that the kick stater gear has stripped its teeth, i have to push start it. is this a common problem ? I have only used the bike 9 times since i bought it.

Can any one tell me what the handle bar bend is on the gas gas 06/07 or has anyone found the same bend another brand of bar manufacture, i only ask as we were quoted $160 AUD from the dealer.

still cant get the sachs right I met a bloke on a 07 300ec on the weekend with the same sachs shock with the same problems as me, to hard, nice to know its just not me, and yes i found out the ohlins that did make it onto the 07 models were not the same as 06. I did 120klms on sat then 60...

I used to use penrite ts40c - unfortunately you cant get it anymore so i had to choose a new one, so i went back to the place that i used to select that oil - ROTAX aircraft engines The way i see it if its good enough up there, its good down here, I checked the forums and no one was having...

hand hold my son has the 06 i have the 07 gas gas ec300 the new system is much better you grip the bike where the platsic tail section covers the frame on the rear guard it even has finger locaters on it and the new rear tail section does an excellent job of stopping mud, as there is no frame...

since you guys have been so help full i was wondering if anyone could help me locate info or and parts to a canister on a cr250 re im rebuilding, this canister is ribbed and has 2 hoses going to the shock i think its american going by the threads machined into it. Its just like the woks KYB...

Top video for the members that remember those bikes, may be interested in the web site i made for our club, our club caters for bikes built before 65 to pre 85 here in Australia , we only do natural terain and never the same track twice. My son does vintage with us now. My oldest bike is a...

Thanks Thanks to everyone for the info, I contacted the dealer and he wants to fix the bike for me, i have printed out the info from you guys to give him. and as the bike is only 2 weeks old i should let him fix it to maintain the warranty on the bike. Thanks again

well i said i would report on my ride with the sachs shock - you can find that info in suspension - a far greater problem is that i have only third gear, cant change up or down, the lever is has spring tension but will not do anything. The bike hasnt reached 200 klm yet so you can guess how...

More info re rear shock I have been intouch with the importer here in Oz he reafirmed that spain isnt making the trail range with Ohlins - if anyone can prove him wrong let me know and ill rip him a new one. I have sent the shock to be revalved, after discussions with Pual Berick ( MPE ) he...

with thanks I had the money down thru the dealer for a ohlins, and i would have waited as long 8 weeks for it but the distributor and the dealer told me there is no more ohlins period, I am disapointed as my son has a ohlins on his gas gas, and on the same trial its so far infront its not...

I recieved my ec300 unfortuneatley i couldnt get the ohlins rear shock, I was told by the dealer that Gas gas can not suppply anymore as yamaha own ohlins and yamaha is putting the screws on motorcycle companies that are hurting sales. So i ended up with a Sachs shock, I have found it very...
