From Spain with love

[Diggs345]

I thought I'd get some spare parts for the 300 as mine have taken a battering in the short time I've had the bike , all parts apart from the frame guards were sourced from the motocrosscentre in Spain , communication was pretty good and only confusion was over the number boards, once placed my order turned up in 3 days

Were they much cheaper than GG UK?

Nice to see the plastics came fully stickered up!

 

[Jakobi]

Yes Yes very nice Diggs! Can't wait to see em on the bike. How much did they sting you for that box full?

309 euros = 385.1160 Australian dollars

Thats a steal! Shops here in Australia charge that much for a set of custom stickers to put on your old crusty plastic!

Motocrosscenter is a reference in the GG world, I get all my parts from there.

I just went silly

 

[Jakobi]

....can't afford a 2013 anymore!

Hahaha!

Not really. I have priced a heap of stuff I don't need, but also a lot of parts I will need. Shame they don't offer Wossner piston kits.

 

[Diggs345]

I just found out wy my bike started missing the last time out , half of the electrode off the plug is missing , not burned snapped by the look of it

 

[Jakobi]

Thats not a good sign. Either mass detonation occurring or something else has contacted it?? I wonder where its gone? Hopefully out the exhuast port. Got any pics of it>

Few tiny marks on the piston crown but nothing much , I'll take the cylinder off in 5

 

[swazi_matt]

either those parts are for a mini-GG or you have a monster tv!!

 

[Diggs345]

Bugger

Cylinder is ok though
Don't suppose that's covered under warranty

 

[jpelaston]

Ouch. Glad to hear the cylinder is ok.

Makes me want to change my spark plug tonight.

 

[Neil E.]

Change to the NGK plug, I don't know anyone who's had good success with those Denso plugs.

Never had any problems with denso plugs until now , got a new ngk to go in though

 

[Jakobi]

That sucks Diggs. Hopefully the chunk got spat out the exhaust port after doing its damage. Good news that the cylinder hasn't been punished. It looks like it bounced around on top of the cylinder for some time before it got stuck. Being that the score is right at the exhaust port I'd say there is a good chance it will either still be in the pipe or gone.

Whats the piston wash look like? How does the head look? There is still heaps of coating on the skirt of the piston. How many hours? I have always ran the NGK BR8ES plugs.
