Planning a dirt bike trip to Colorado in August actually.... We try to come out to ride at least every other year, and last came in 2021. I've considered keeping the bike and storing it somewhere around Denver (cheap storage unit) to keep from making the cross-country road trip in the future...

1 month bump. Still have the bike. A couple of folks have expressed a little interest in it, but nothing serious so far. Let me know if interested! I'd much rather sell at a discount to a GG enthusiast than at full price to a random kid on Facebook that'll likely destroy it in quick order.

Selling my 2011 GasGas EC250. I absolutely love this bike, but I've moved up to a newer 300, and probably won't ride this one much anymore. These bikes are extremely well built, very tough and reliable. Lots of torque and easy to ride. 2010 and 2011 were the 'unicorn' years with the older /...

Don't know much about Jotagas (though I certainly welcome any new competition into the mix), but the best current option is the other "red" bike: Beta. I rode most of the new models at a demo day a few months back, and they have some very solid bikes. My 2011 EC250 has a lot of tweaks to...

I agree entirely. I see it as extremely unlikely, but I don't see the enduro line surviving any other way. If it's just presented as an equivalent option, but red in color, there's no way they'll keep it. That said, there's plenty of successful examples in the automotive world with several...

It seems obvious to me. Think about it, what's the only type of motorbike in the world that KTM doesn't already have a very strong place in the market? Answer: trials bikes. Acquiring GG (I know, they didn't technically acquire them, but at 60% ownership, they may as well have) allows them...

I just bought one a few weeks ago, installed it this past week, and rode with it this weekend. They're the same. :)

I had the same issue (low idle coming down steep hills). Tried / checked a bunch of different things: needle height, air screw, pilot valve, idle rpm, etc. Took a while, but finally figured it out to be exactly what you described: clutch drag. Most of the places it was happening, were...

Here's the exact link of the kit I bought (with the gaskets): https://www.ebay.com/itm/V-FORCE-III-3P682M-REED-PETALS-W-GASKETS-2006-2013-GASGAS-EC-200-250-300/361470988491?epid=171220371&hash=item54295990cb:g:dXIAAOSwpRRWnJOy#shpCntId Mine were the same. One had a small chip, but overall...

I just bought reeds for the V-Force 3 in my 2011 EC250 from North Tahoe Motorsports on Ebay. Look them up. They've got a kit both with and without the gaskets. I'd highly recommend getting the one with the gaskets, as my gaskets were stuck on and removing them completely destroyed them. The...

I was just talking about this the other day with a friend. The enduro sport is growing rapidly right now, and the economy (at least in the US) is the best it's been in a long time. People are spending money on stuff like new dirt bikes like they haven't done in a long time. It'd be a real...

Yup. I've already dug my ring filer out of storage, from my auto racing days, in case it's needed. Thanks!

Perfect, thanks guys! Makes perfect sense. Well then, that pattern tells me what I've always known: the bike is jetted absolutely perfectly, and runs amazingly. Your comments about the skirt reminded me: I actually took the pipe off and looked at the piston after the very first ride I had...

Why is that burn pattern good? What's a bad pattern look like? What would cause all the scuffing on the skirt / cylinder? Running the piston too long? Sorry for all the questions, just trying to learn. Yup, the plan is now definitely to go with an "A" Wossner. I'd get the piston from...

Hello all. First off, I apologize for yet another "what do you think of my piston / cylinder situation". I know there's hundreds of those threads out there, and I've read all of them, but it still feels prudent to make my own, just because it's mine. Also, I'm a little long-winded; I...
