Now im even beginning to wonder if the previous owner was just telling me he had it done, he was pretty desperate to sell the bike...might have told me anything to get it sold...but who really knows. Might be worth the investment to find out.

Back wheel is toast on my 2012 ec250. Looking for decent used one. Located Portland Or.

No, like an fool I didn't. It was snowing outside and I was in a hurry to finish putting it all back together so I could go rip in the snow. I used the same thickness base gasket at what was originally on the bike when the the PO had the squish mod done. So I figured "it would be the same" now...

Wanted to give an update. Tore the bike down for the winter, New top end, crank seals, gaskets, oil seals, wheel bearings, custom spring rates for suspension, tons of other things...went ahead and got the JD jet kit, was surprised that the pilot jet recommendation was a 40, even though I knew...

Well i swapped over to a 45 pilot and a 158 main. Bike ran much worse with the 45 pilot. Couldn't get the air screw dialed in. Swapped back over to the 40 with quarter turn out. Bike seems to like that setting the most. Is there a danger in running too rich on the top end? I seem to be getting...

Bike came with a 42 jet. It was only 1 turn. Now I got a 40, 42, 45, and 48. Gonna try the 45 first.

Yes my 40 pilot is definitely on the lean side. I was planning on going riding at higher elevation but ended up not going. Got a 45, 48 and 50 pilot coming in the mail. I think Im gonna try a few different jets and needles first just to see how it does. My bike does have alot of hours on it...

What bike did you put it on? How was the fitment?

got myself a 2012 ec250e that i love to death. Owned it for almost 2 years. It has alot of hours on it from previous owner but she still rips. For the last 2 rides I've changed out my needle to one from a jd jet kit (blue? Maybe red?) And it feels more responsive. The jetting on my bike is...

So today I figured I would actually go through the process of getting my sag numbers. So far I got 111mm sag with sitting. About 106 standing. I was thinking It would be way more for how unresponsive the front end is. Should I still upgrade to a slightly stiffer spring to level out the bike? New...

Ok so I emailed the seller. They do sell just the spring. However they want inside, Outside, and lenght measurements. So now my question is how do I go about getting those measurements. I have a digital caliper. My guess is I remove the spring and measure everything. I did go on racetechs...

Did it all sell? What's in the ohlins box? Is that rear wheel fairly straight?

I have the Ohlins rear shock. I live in the US so ill have to dig around the site and try to find those stores. I did email a somewhat local gas gas parts supplier about my situation. I am currently waiting for their response.

Hello! Got a 2012 ec250e that I have been riding for about 2 years. As I'm getting used to the bike now, I realize that my rear shock is bottoming out pretty easily. Also, because of the excessive sag, the front end feels very stiff in tight trails making it very slow and difficult to turn...

Ok so quick update. Went with option D since it was the easiest and cheapest option. The 2nd shop has no issues putting it on for me. Had it done in 10 minutes. Obviusly its not the optimal setup for a race bike. But I have no plants what so ever to do anything more than play riding. Anyways...
