Larsa yes you need to connect the brown and white wire to a small 9 volt battery to maintain the time when the motor is off. I was told by the dealer the RMP meter is disconnected under the fuel tank somewhere when delivered ? I havn't persued this one as I don't have time to look at the...

I don't really think it is a GasGas thing I remember Suzuki RMX was a bit of a pain to jet correctly. From memory the carb has some issue with choke circuit and airscrew you have to be careful not to overtighten air screw or you can have bleedover problems. From what I have seen most GasGas bike...

Sorry had trouble inserting photos.

Just thought some of you may be interested in my seat modification to my 07 ec 300 seat. It involves replacing the screw tha holds the seat on with a half turn clip which means no tools to replace the air filter and much quicker. You have to remove the exsisting retaining nut and bracket from...

Thanks Steve always look forward to your updates on the WEC rounds. keeps me motivated for our own A4DE here, only one month to go. Andrew.

Colin I'm in Cairns so yes we do have more humidity than Perth mainly riding sea level to 1000ft above. One thing I did notice just by putting the LTR needle in the bottom end cleaned up even with the standard jetting left in place. Must be something to do with the taper of the needle. Good luck...

Colin I'm in Aus. too and my 07 ec300 runs 42 pilot and 170 main with an LTR needle centre clip running BP 98 ron with 40-1 oil mix. Most of the GGs in this area run similar jetting sometimes going to a 40 pilot if running the standard N1EF needle. Just as you discribe my bike also ran pretty...

Yes very BMW and yes those engine cases must be made of some super strong space age material.:eek:

Just came back from a trip to BC my second, this one was around the world and yes it rates as one of my most recommended locations to visit some nice people live there to.

Roscoe you can lift the bike from the seat but I wouldn't advise it if the bike was stuck in mud. I normally lift the bike by reaching under the gaurd because as you point out the seat is only held by a single bolt and the edge does pivot on it when you lift. I have also replaced the single...

Have just returned from the my trip to the U.S.A and while I was in the area I paid Les a visit to get a jetting kit and powervalve cover for my 07 ec 300. Les is a wonderful person and only to happy to have me pick the kit up from him. From new my bike ran pretty ordinary down low and I was...

Finally picked up my new EC 300 early in the week, spent a few hours moving things around fitting brush gaurds, cutting off the rear gaurd extension and so on. Just went for a short run and man I love this bike the power is everywhere just dial it on and it pulls like a tractor. Had a small...
