first ride on the gas gas

[rbm33]

i just picked up my first gas gas, a 2011 six days 300, and took it out for the first ride. iv been on 4 strokes with auto clutches since 2003 so it took me a little getting used to, but i cant tell you how much i enjoyed riding this bike. the engine is really really nice and the way this bike turns is like nothing i have ever ridden. i feel like a 15 year old kid again that cant wait till tomorrow so i can go ride!! lol

he is a little helmet cam from draper lake in oklahoma city. again its my first ride on a stroker so be easy on me!!

i bought the bike from richard at house of horsepower and he rejetted it before i picked it up, i will ask him what the settings are. the jetting is spot on though, its really crisp right from the bottom and pulls smooth and hard all the way through the powerband.

yes, i ride occra and a few tccra races also. i havent gotten a chance to race the gasgas yet. i have only ridden it twice but i really think im already faster on it than my injected honda 450. heck, i dont even care if im faster or not, this thing is a blast to ride!! lol

lol, heck yea we use bark busters!!! i just picked the bike up and was out for a test ride. i was pretty nervous about smashing a tree the entire ride!! i have now installed a set of enduro engineering gaurds with the bonz bar mounts and threaded bar inserts.

Be sure and check your spokes, especially in the rear wheel. I found a couple of mine very loose after a couple of rides. I would imagine they will settle in after a few rides, at least I'm hoping they will. Great video by the way. I love the 300 motor, so tractable.

My dealer said mine was a 38 mm too, but it is actually a 36 mm. The literature also says mine should be a 38 mm but it is not. You probably already know this, but there is a stamp on top of the carb close to where the cable goes into it. Whatever that stamp says is what you actually have. What you said (above) sounds like what some are running in the 36 mm carbs so that is what prompted my reply here. Please do check it out and confirm.

Cheers!

I love the threaded inserts! Never thought much of them until Robbie got me to try them after a lost a buster at one enduro he put on when i clipped a monster oak.

Can you report how you went? Confirmed 38mm?

What temps/elevation/premix ratio are you using. How does your plug look?

My bike sounds similar to yours but I'm running a step leaner all over. 38 N3CH#2 175. 20-30C 300M+ GRO50:1 - Plug is looking very nice on one side, lean on the other.
