    Rieju.Direct...would you buy one now?

    Is there any plan to have Canadian dealers? We have been suffering up here in Canada. Im in Alberta,own two Gassers and haven’t had a Gasgas dealer for years. I would love to get another new one but am starting to look at more readily available brands.

    EC 300 2008 pipe resonation

    I tried a rubber pipe O ring spacer on the inside as well, and it worked great for a very short period of time. It surprisingly burned up quickly ( under 1 hour). I also tried a high temperature resistant gasket material ring that also worked for a short time before burning up to nothing. That?s...

    EC 300 2008 pipe resonation

    Mr.freezer, yes that should work. I experimented and tried the exact same thing but had to have elbow surgery before I could try it out on a actual ride. It?s now -17C here so its going to be a while before I can ride again. I will be trying the copper spacer trick in the spring and will report...

    EC 300 2008 pipe resonation

    One thing that I have noticed on my bike ( 2014 Factory Replica EC 300 ) is that the inner ring of the stock pipe contacts the end of the exhaust spigot resulting in a very annoying rattle. I have temporarily eliminated the noise with a home made gasket, new rubber o rings and lots of Silicone...

    Ohlins Forks 46mm Leaks Leaks and more Leaks

    I have a set of Ohlins RXF48 forks on my 2014. I unsuccessfully tried to use a set of 48 KYB seals. They seemed to fit the shaft and the bore fine but the seal thickness prevented the retaining clip from engaging its slot ( slightly too thick ). I ended up with SKF fork seals and Dust Covers and...

    News flash. Chain slap noise fix!!!

    Thank you for posting this fix! My 2014 Factory Edition 300 was making the exact noise that you described. I was going crazy trying to find it (seemed to coming from the front end). I replaced both upper and lower rollers with the suggested parts and the noise is completely gone. Thanks again...

    What really happened at redbull minas riders?

    It seems very suspicious that everything was good for two days of racing and then all of a sudden super serious "environmental issues" cropped up and required that the race be stopped. It was a big event for the area and I am sure would have been bringing in huge dollars to the local economy...

    Ec300 rattle/power valve issue

    Is the power valve itself moving freely? If it is excessively carboned up it might be sticking. Something to check.

    Hunting Season and Riding

    That is very good advice. A few years ago here in Alberta, someone shot my friends horse while his dad was riding it on his own property! The horse didn't make it :mad:

    Ohlins RXF Thread sealant / loctite question.

    The Ohlins manual that comes with the forks is pretty disappointing. It only really covers seals, bushings and springs ( no cartridge stuff at all ). There is a slightly better manual that I have downloaded, but it leaves a bit to be desired as well. It is surprising how difficult it is to get...

    Ohlins RXF Thread sealant / loctite question.

    I have been working on a set of Ohlins Rxf forks and have had quite a bit of fun getting loctited joints to come apart. i have been using a heat gun to melt the sealant and then using my homemade rod/cartridge holding clamps have managed to get things undone. What I am wondering is if I need to...

    ISDE Spain

    Thanks for the pictures ( I finally broke down and got a Facebook account ! ). It was driving me nuts looking at 2013 pictures of the Factory Pons bikes. Some of the forks appeared to to have kYB tops in Marzocchi 48 bodies. Makes sense now that they have confirmed that they are using KYB...

    ISDE Spain

    I am very interested in the details of the Factory Pons Gas Gas bikes. The more information the better ( especially the suspension ). Some good pictures of the bikes would be greatly appreciated as well ! Thanks.

    Has anyone swapped out the Reiger shock?

    I bought my bike ( 2014 Factory Replica 300 ) used, and it came with the Ohlins TTX suspension front and rear. The owners manual that came with everything lists the shock as a TTX 44 MX / part number 07253-02_0. I remember the previous owner told me that he had originally had the suspension...
