Once the weather warmed up this problem has gone away. My coolant level is not dropping anymore either. False alarm i guess. I never would have thought that much condensation could be produced on start-up. Im not convinced that there still isnt something going on but time will tell. Thanks for...

I opened the drain when I changed the oil the other day and it?s dry. I think it has to be condensation. If it was head O-rings wouldn?t it start to puke out as soon as it fired? Wouldn?t I also get some out of the exhaust? I started it up today and it wasn?t as bad. It?s also mid 70?s today...

I sure hope its nothing! I changed the gearbox oil and coolant today. No water in oil or oil in warer. Pulled the side cover and started the engine. After about 5 sec a decent amount of moisture comes out of the machined port area just above the powervalve bearings. Its an aluminum/grey color...

Ok thanks, I will investigate. I thought it was just condensation at first but my coolant level is dropping so I assumed it had to be coolant since its a decent amount. I guess I should say that I cant really confirm its coolant cause its Black/Grey water like substance. Can you run the bike...

I have a coolant leak coming from the port on the lower front left side of the cylinder. Seems to only do it when i first start it up. It kind of spits out, not a steady dribble. Once it warms up it doesnt seem to leak. After 2 hrs of riding i can see the top of the rad fins so it must be...

Any luck with this issue yet??? When I got my 05 it wouldn't rev out. The rod that actuates the exhaust valve was loose causing it not to open. Ran great down low but wouldn't pull up top. Something to check if your still having issues.

The TM Designs never seemed to work right from the start. The slider and guide work great but im not sold on the roller. I kept it clean and one min it would roll the next it wouldn't. That is some serious plastic they make those things out of! Everyone seems to have a favorable opinion of...

Need to replace my lower chain roller on 05 ec250 and want some opinions. I have a TM Designs on my Honda and the plastic is so hard that it doesn't seem to always roll...chain just slides over it. This happens quite often if its wet and muddy. Even though it slides it still has little to no...

Since you fixed the problem try putting your settings back to where they were in the first place and try it. Previous owner claimed it ran great, right? I have an N1EF needle with a #7 slide in my 05 ec250 and have no problems down low. No bobble and pulls like a 4 stroke. Hope you get it...

Not sure what AOAA is but Marienville, PA is a hotspot of trail activity in the north central part of the state. They have a 20 mile single track loop for bikes only and many miles of other trails. I have never been there but lots of people go there and seem satisfied. Its a big snowmobile...

Thanks for the tip on the body armor. Going to check them out right now. I just had pants, jersey, boots, helmet, goggles, gloves, and a chest protector on. After a hit like that it makes you realize how vulnerable your elbows really are to getting hit. I will def be on a bike again but I...

Decided to take a quick ride 3/23 after work since it was a nice day and I needed to start getting some seat time. I've worked very hard this winter on training and balancing/body positioning drills and have felt extremely comfortable on my bike. I felt like I was riding very smooth and kept...

Maybe the guy that sold me the kit sold me the wrong one. I will see if I can get a part number off of it. Anywho, bought some Fel-Pro paper from the auto parts, used a combo of 270 and .45 casings, and have some nice new gaskets. Bolted, torqued, and added fluid last night...NO leaks this...

Im figuring this is just a GasGas specific fitment issue. I've put Cometic on a Honda before and they were fine. For a more common application I'm sure they work great.

Bought a lower end rebuild kit for an 05 EC250 and it came with a Cometic gasket kit. Couldn't be more disappointed with the quality of these gaskets. The ONLY gasket in the kit that fit perfect was the water intake on top of the head. Center case gasket had 2 places where the gasket barely...
