I love mine.All I have done to mine is put the necessary guards for off road and a 12 oz flywheel weight and it is good to go.I did just get a 18" rear wheel only one ride so far.

Oh welcome to the site you will love the GasGas.

I tried a YZ250 and didn't like it at all. It might have been the gearing, but i just wasn't comfortable at all. hoping to find a nice EC but found a really nice MC and thought it might be okay.

There is really not much difference the EC has the heaver f/w with the head light and the valving in the suspension but it works well here.

RPDuc, who used to post here quite a bit (and who is a good friend) rides the MC250 with us. He flies on that thing. He has a 2005 with the six speed. Does the 2003 have the four speed? The four speed might be the only down side. Otherwise, why not?

 

[cbutler]

Mine has the six and yes it fly's.It is also quicker than most I like to mess with my buds by passing them coming out of corners.It lifts the front easy with no clutch.

Is the power easier to deal with than a YZ250, I felt way uncomfortable on the YZ.

 

[cbutler]

I have never road a YZ

It came on the power valve quick but after just a little while you can tell when it is about to open.The F/W weight was just what it needed gos just as fast just a tad longer to rev up.The funny thing is it is just as happy lugging around or revving the piss out of it.

The AJP clutch is the bomb also.
