Can anybody identify these bits?

Hi all

I picked up my brand new EC300 (2012 model) a couple of weeks ago, and the dealer forgot to give me the key as well as a bag full of other stuff.

Well I picked all the extra stuff up today. Great to see a half decent bum bag, dodgy OEM tool kit, and a spare rear sprocket but along with that there is a load of stuff that I don't recognise - I have no idea what it is! So naturally I am appealing to the genius of gasgasrider to help me identify these items.... 7 in all..... attached are some pics.


It's worth noting that the bike was delivered in full road trim, i.e. indicators, mirrors etc. all fitted.


TIA for any help you can give me

Cheers

Jerry

1&2 are the airbox restricters. The others not sure.
Hopefully you have the chrome front pipe fitted.
You will need to change the stock needle as well

The first is the airbox restrictor for guys that want to insult the engineers that worked painstakingly to produce the GG

3 looks like a kill switch bracket

5 is to replace your cable choke with choke on the carb ( recommend doing this before it starts playing games with your jetting and ruining rides)

Can't see the others clearly
 
4 I believe are stuffers for the 2012/2013 airbox vents. The rest as Matt said, including fitting the manual choke knob and getting rid of the cable pull.
 
Thanks guys.

Biff - yes, chrome exhaust fitted, but I think the jetting is still factory stock.

Jakobi - when might I want to use the airbox stuffers??

Swazi - good call on the kill switch bracket, I have the kill switch in the pack too, just checked and yes that's exactly what it is!

So, only numbers 6 and 7 still to identify........ :)

What's the deal with the handlebar mounted choke then - do they tend to stick on or something??


Cheers,

No idea re where they go. I've never seen a 2012/13 in person but sure I'm read it somewhere. Have a look in the airbox. Are there any holes the same size as the foam?

The cable mounted choke is just unneccessary. Its something you use once a day for all of 20-30seconds. Its got no place on the bars. If the cable sticks it'll play with your fuel mix, or if you ride tight singles, the last thing you need is a vine to pull the choke wide open. Speaking of which, if you haven't yet, make sure you tie wire the throttle cable at both ends.
 
#6 is a throttle limiter that fits into the carb cap to keep the throttle from opening past 1/2 throttle.
 
I guess it is similar to the WR. I guess a 2t 300 will only meet emission controls when it is flat out on the pilot jet with the carb sucking air through a pinhole
I thought part 7 looked like it was part of the pv setup maybe it stops the pv from opening.
Honestly would think they should make these parts optional (maybe it is a legal requirement?) because it undoubtedly adds to the cost and also who in their right mind would pay for a race bike with the performance of a 230 agricultural bike?

As mentioned the cable choke can stick slightly open and unless someone tells you about it you can battle getting jetting to work or start thinking that your bike is packing up because you start bogging and fouling plugs. That being said there are guys on the forum that ride long road sections between the fun stuff and like to be able tu pull the choke to richen it up while hanging wide open on the road
 
Its for certain euro emmissions testing. They can sell them for race only with no registration, but if you want to be able to take it on the road its pretty stringent.

Here in Aus we have sound limits, headlight, horn, indicators and chain cover in place. Might be a few others, but much less hassle.
 
Could you post pics / info on the throttle cable tie?
As for the restrictors and baffles, it is all down the the good old EU
I have a box of bits off my 2013 which I'm never gonna use!
 
#7 is a power valve replacement for the left side roller. Basically blocking off the left side for emissions. Chuck it!
 
#4 is listed as an airbox vent. I think they are meant for installation in the flat sides of the airbox for more air flow. I have them in a bag also and see they come with block off plates for them if conditions are wet/muddy. But, I have never seen a bike with them installed.
