What did you do to your Gas Gas today?

[Pygmygod]

Tightened my spokes today.
One was just spinning and wouldn't tighten, had to hold the spoke in vice grips in order to turn the nipple.

Well I haven't done much to my bike. Tons of other projects and I have just been riding my sons bike.

But I did get my powervalve back together this weekend. It was really nasty and caboned up. Took over an hour to get all.cleaned up etc. . I'll try to get the barrel back on etc. No huge rush

Loaded bike on trailer for some test and tune tomorrow

More testing than tuning though as I can't be bothered working on bikes in the forest unless it's necessary Fuckers running that fat that I'll probably have to change some plugs though.

I did change the needle to an NECW, if that isn't enough to cure the fatness I'll drop the main to 172.5..........not in the forest though

Don't confuse your carburetor circuits.
Most of what riders term as "rich or fat" characteristics are a result of the jet needle's part of the circuit.
The jet needle controls the transition from low throttle setting to mid-range.
The main jet doesn't have much effect until you are at 3/8 throttle turn, and doesn't come into it's real area of control until 1/2 throttle.
If you are still "fat" with the NECW, then I would suggest raising the needle clip one groove to see the effect.

Thanks for the the reply Jim I have since posted in another thread with results from my ride on Monday, If you'd care to take a look I'd be interested in your feedback

Don't get me started on carb circuits, I've been dicking around with jetting, emulsions, power valves, iab's, mab's, ifr's and a truck load of other crap with a 1050 Dominator carb on my 800hp car running E85 for the last 12+months........I may have it nearly sorted though, but it has worn me down

 

[Jim Cook]

The needle position won't matter when you are at Wide Open Throttle. That's strictly main jet territory; well, that and air flow through the filter.

Good luck and let us know how it goes with the smaller main jet.

I spent a couple of days looking at all the different types of Hand guards, it all got too confusing so I bought a $35 pair off Scambay, they actually fitted up pretty good

Bought a litre of Penrite for the gearbox, I run the 10w-40 in my road bike and I like it.

The full syn 10W-40 is currently on sale for less than $40 for 6L.

Where at please brother?


Pulled MY AXP skid plate and moved one of the mounts and drilled a 19mm hole to gain access to the drain plug. Life's too short to be removing the bashplate everytime I change oil It also doubles as an awesome drain hole


Yeah, I'm rougher than hessian undies

 

[hadfield4wd]

Putting on my new plastics. Graphics will be ordered Monday.

I have just tried this as well.It's Australian made but seems to work!
Gasser clutches can be sensitive to different oils but no problems so far.

Went out yesterday using the Penrite oil and didn't notice any difference to what was previously in the gearbox. Gonna keep using the locally made product Went over the bars at about 40 kmph, that's gonna sting for a few days though

Sevice and Rebuild

2019 EC300 Six Day bought to replace a 2011 EC300 Six Day back about March. Lots of the standard upgrades ... transferred my Motorsportz steering damper over to 2019 fit just fine FWIW. 50 hours on the bike now so had oil change on shock performed locally, refreshed inner and outer oils in forks (inner was slightly cloudy and could easily gone double life) outer was clean but I had changed it at about 22 hours to adjust the volume. Changed oil in steering damper and checked shock linkage for free play and ease of movement. Checked spokes for tightness and wheels for true (ok). Changed out piston which I should have left in for another 50hrs but hey I was into the engine and had already bought the parts. Piston had NO measurable wear and cylinder looked excellent - piston top was clean as wissle (not normal based on my experience) the head I wiped clean with rag. Moly coating on piston was 80% or better intact. Lean JD jetting with non-ethonal 91 fuel using 40:1 intercepter Amsoil FWIW ... about 80 trail miles to a tank with slight spooge. That is the old piston in the cylinder with the top wiped off!!

Been sitting here trying to decide whether to just get my Gasser back on the trail or keep riding my KDX220 and go through my Gasser completely. Still worried there might be some damage I'm not seeing from my nasty head on back at the end of March. I also have another set off forks for it now I need to go through and an electric start setup I picked up to figure out.

out of curiosity, why didn't you go with the MC-GO gear oil from Penrite?

I wanted synthetic, I also like Penrite's write up about their oil. I use a similar oil in my roadbikes and I like the performance/feel.

ok, but my understanding is the synthetic part is of greater benefit to the engine lubing part of the oil (ie in a 4t) and can cause drag on the wet clutch. Anyway i will give the MC-Go a bash in my trials bike and give some feedback

Refilling after oil change



Hello,

Always found filling up after an oil change hard work. Thought about it - got a big syringe and a funnel to fit and made life easy
