EC300 maximum revs

[WAZ]

Just a quick question for those that have a rev counter fitted to their bikes. What should a healthy, correctly jetted EC300 rev to?

about 10000rpm

Thanks, mine's about 1000rpm below that. Looks like I've got some work to do!

Its a variable. Dependant on your pipe, port timing, power valve, compression ratio, carb size, how clean the casting is in your intakes/transfers. I would say 10 would be the upper spec and likely into over rev where the power will be tapering off.

Mine tapers off before that, and just stops at 9. I know it hasn't been rebuilt for quite a while before I bought it, so a full engine rebuild will happen later this year. I'm new to Gassers so was just trying to get an idea of how a good one performs. I've spent a few weeks lurking on here, so thanks to advice given to others, I've a fairly good idea of what to check for.

What year? I have a feeling the older ones more bottom and mid orientated but you'd have to do some searching.

My 250s are both over and done with by mid 9's.

It's an 02 with a Messico pipe.
