My bike is a 300, I found someone who knows the history

A few pages back someone posted about a 2013 300. My VIN is literally almost identical. What is GG-3013

I have a 2013 XC 250, or what was purportedly one. Definitely a 2 stroke electric start. Bike was white with custom graphics and was a dealer demo for the owner of the shop. I bought it from the guy who bought it from the dealer, but he?s pretty clueless, but a nice guy. The VIN is...

I need to touch up my frame, as the paint has peeled off the frame due to previous owner putting foam under engine and never removed. It was nasty under there. No damage but bare frame now. Any idea where to find a matching red paint? Pretty much all will be covered back by skid plate, but I...

2003 Gas Gas 450 FSE For Sale Street Legal Ohio-Sold I have a 2003 Gas Gas 450 FSe for sale. $2300 I paid more and have put money and shipping in it to make it a fun, reliable machine. The video is cut from a two hour ride. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWqPhYKyXKM It runs fantastic and...

I used Acerbis straps, pulled through an 8mm or 10 mm washer and sealed with silicon. So far, so good. The washer keeps the rubber from pulling out. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I don't know, but the bikes tend to be pretty similar in major components Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I have had similar experiences with other makes. A loose cam chain can jump teeth and change the timing and kill the bike. Automatic cam chain tensioners can and do fail. Proper tension and timing could be your fix, expecially since it died while running. Your problem really sounds like the...

I bought a Yamaha kickstarter to replace the original. It is a lot easier to kick, but I still use the button to start, but like to have a viable back up, too:p

When mine went out, I was told that the rectifier from Yamaha 125 4stroke street bike model would work (a non-US model). They are about $40 US on eBay. I looked at it, and it looks similar. The cross over is very wide on the part and they said it would require adaptation on mounting, but the...

2003 450

I will check tonight, I believe it is the Kokosan model that fits KTM bikes, but it was hard to find a listing. I believe it is M33x1.5 Right Hand Thread, internal model. That is what I bought.

I pretty much agree, now that I have my 2003 450 working (it was a rough year), it does everything pretty damn good. I would check the rectifier/regulator, as that caused me a bunch of grief until I got past it.

I got the electrical problem fixed (I think). I ended up replacing the rectifier with a used one from a GasGas 450 Wild (which is the same, thanks to the manual), and now it appears to be charging and restarted after sitting. I have the Evo lithium battery with lots of cranking power. I am...

Hi, I was wondering what other longer, better shaped kickstarters work on the 2003 Gasgas 450 FSE. The one on it is better suited to an 80cc two stroke instead of a big bore with a weak starter. The forum lists parts interchange page lists a 5NX Yamaha kickstarter, but does that apply to the...
