I have parts manual for my bikes, i.e. '06 and '15. I also have user's manual for '15 and the two workshop (engine) manuals that I know of. All as pdf files. Plus Marzocchi 45 and 48 manuals.
If we have a place to publish them, I can upload.

What manual do you need.
If I have a copy of the manual for that bike, I will be happy to email you one. You can send send me a private message here and give me the information and the email address for me to send what I have to you.
Good Riding!

ECU schmatics and pinout EC 450/515 2008-2010
Hello,
perhaps someone have the workshop manual or the schematics of wire harness for the EC 450 or 515 2008-2010 ?
that's the bike with kokusan denki ecu, not IAW marelli
Best regards

I wish that I could help you, but I do not have the shop manual for the FSE after 2005 year model.
I will look and see if I can locate where you can download one. I believe GasGasman might have a link to download manuals. I will check.
If I find one, I will send you a private message to arrange getting you one of them.

I tried, but still haven't found the workshop manual for your bike.
I am not familiar with the 450/515 GasGas 4-strokes for 2008-9010. All my experiences were with the 2002-2005 FSE.
I think the 250cc GasGas 4-stroke models produced in '08-'09 had Yamaha engines in the GG chassis. I have a foggy memory of hearing that GasGas might have used the Yamaha WR450 engine at one time.
Do you have any information on that subject that you can share with me?
Here are the only active links for manuals that I have found, or have been given me, so far today. If I find one for you, I'll private message you here.

Good morning folks,
My apologies for my first post being of the begging variety but I'm looking for a suitable workshop manual for a 2001 EC300 and non of the old links on the forum seem to be active any more.
But seeing as I'm here now, I should probably introduce myself. The name's Steven, I'm 53 years young and was born and still living in Scotland.
Bike-wise I've currently only got two. A 1997 Ducati 748SP which I've owned since 2000 and this 2001 EC300. Historically, they've virtually all been Italian makes (dunno why - just happened) other than a CB500 and an RMZ250.
I picked up this rebuilt (but poorly running) GasGas last year but I've only just got round to dealing with it in earnest. It came with some bizarre jetting which I returned to stock (still ran rubbish) and then moved up and down the range of jets, but nothing cured it.
Think it may well be an air leak so got a test kit on its way. We'll see what results we get and take it from there.
Thank you in advance.

Send me a private message with your email address, and I will email you a pdf file of a workshop manual that will work with your bike. (It is a 2005/6 workshop manual; the first year that GasGas published one.)
The stock jetting was "motocross style" jetting, which promoted midrange to high rpm running, but didn't promote an engine idling or a smooth transition from low rpm to midrange.
For your bike, with it's Air Striker 1 carburetor (which required richer jetting than the AS 2 carb that came on later models), I would suggest a 42 pilot jet and a 178 main jet, coupled with a jet needle which has a better transition from low end rpms to the midrange rpms. The only jet needle from the GasGas factory that I could make work to my satisfaction was the N1EG. The N1EG is very hard to find, so most owners have moved to either a Yamaha 250 or a Suzuki 250 OEM jet needle listed as "optional" on the various parts breakdown listings. I have used a NEDJ, and lots of owners used a NECW. The various optional jet needles will allow the owner to customize their bike's power delivery as it transitions from low end to mid-range; a critical point in the bike's power delivery if you are doing enduro or trail riding in very tight or very rugged terrain.
If I can assist you in any other quests with the bike, let me know.
Good Riding to You!

Thanks, I'll PM you my address.
To get it running reasonably well we started with a 35 pilot and worked up to up 55. Didn't have anything bigger in the box of spares that came with the bike but oddly it still felt like going upwards was still going in the right direction. The revs aren't dropping very quickly and they don't remaining very constant. It's very boggy pulling away until what i presume is the main jet taking over and then it's WAHEY! The main was already a 178 so I didn't touch it.
The needle that was in it was an N1EF and nothing wanted to work with that. There was another 3 needles in the box but non were marked. Measured them and they were all the same size. Tried one and whatever size it is (it's thicker than the N1EF) it did improve things.

The 45 pilot jet gave better acceleration during a WFO start, but badly spooged the exhaust during enduro and trail rides. The 42 pilot jet worked almost as well in a WFO drag race, but didn't create as much exhaust spooge in normal "real world" riding situations.
Yeah. The N1E* series of jet needles suck. Most ECs came from the GG factory with either the N1ED or N1EF jet needles. Out of that series, I was only able to get the leaner N1EG to work to my satisfaction, and it wouldn't work with the Air Striker 2 version of the PWK carbs.
I sent you an email. If you don't get it, let me know and I'll try again.
Cheers!
Jim

There's several jetting threads to search. With an old bike many things can be at play. Possible air leak as you say is worth investigating. Careful spray of ether around Reed area and check under ignition stator.
Also. Pull carb and look down needle jet with bright light and magnifier. Vibration will ovalise the hole front to back. Any ovality will cause grief. Also cut the N1** in half so you're not tempted to use it.

I have both a 2008 and a 2009 2-stroke EC parts book in my computer files.
If you would like for me to send you one or both of the files in an email, let me know what to send you in a Private Message here with an email address. I will send the parts manual(s) in a pdf format file to that email address.
