What did you do to your Gas Gas today?

[swazi_matt]

Arghh Matt! Maybe.. I'll sit on the fence for a while!

I rode my bike again today. Bloody mud takes its toll. Leak from the countershaft seal.. I'll put a few more rides on her until the oil is due and then change her out (I know I can change it without draining oil.. I'm just being lazy).

Lol I’ve preached my sermon

After a few rides here in NZ I now know what you mean with mud. Bike would end up tons heavier and clay mud gets everywhere (even used to bring a few worms home in it!), sticker kits being rubbed through in a matter of rides. that was part of the reason I sold I could see the maintenance going up and with limited time to ride, less time to maintain and old seals that have enjoyed a long life in dry climate I figured sell and when I find a friendly farmer nearby I can buy new or by dualsport (think NZ exploration is due)
And enjoying the trials riding (also tubeless lol). Went for a good fun trials busy bee session yesterday and feeling the effects of lockdown today

Yep! Mud is hard on the gear.. But so worth it too!

Chains and sprockets cop a flogging. Disks and pads both cop it too. Any that works its way into seals can cause weeps and leaks.

As a bonus, the air filter stays relatively clean though

I replaced the rear brake disk and pads. The disk has been with me for a long time. I think (although not 100% certain) this is the first time I replace it on this bike (270 hours). Minimum thickness limit is stated as 3.5mm, mine was 2.5, so it was time for some work there. The old disk was Galfer, the new one is NG.
The new pads are named Delta DB2310. Delta is a brand unknown to me, but sold by the Norwegian GG importer. Developed in the Netherlands, produced in the Czech Republic. Seems OK.

I did this season's first club race! Finished second out of four in the Veterans 50+ class. Very happy!

I was also among the organizers. As Norway lifted some more of the Covid-19 restictions on Monday, we selected to run the race on Wednesday. Now, we are allowed to have 200 persons at one event, provided we keep a distance.
We were 24 participants total, and perhaps 50 spectators.

Congrats! Well done mate! I wish I could ride that good. Always good to see a real GasGas in front

Thank you, Doc.
Saturday was another race, this time it was the opening round of the NESS (Norwegian Enduro Super Series). Wonder were we got that idea from
180 racers, young and old. They even had a 60+ class! We were 6 participants in that class and I ended in 4th position in the end, after 2.5 hours racing in dust and heat. Quite happy with that, actually.

Great effort Anders!That Hebo gear is excellent.

Checked the air pressure in the tyres for the first ride tomorrow since this Covid bullshit kicked off

Added 927 to the fuel drum for tomorrow I've been loving running Castor in the yard equipment during the lockdown, but it's time to snort some whilst I'm brapping through the forest

Cool, love the pics. Thank you for carrying the GasGas flag! Most appreciated!

Let us know how it went

had my first ride after 6 month last Saturday and managed to destry the bike and my right arm, so will sit at home for another 5 to 10 days

Will do, take care Doc.

I've been running Motul 710(50:1) and getting a reasonable amount of spooge, hoping the change to 927 will cure that a bit........and that smell

Thanks Rodent, I fear the brand change will not make a difference concerning the spooge...

You are correct Doc, spooge was around the same amount. I was also disappointed that the 927 didn't really produce that iconic Castor smell

I may have to try some other oils for that Castor smell, I use Blendzall in my yard equipment, I may have to give it a go in the Gasser I do have some Klotz but haven't tried it yet.

That aside, the bike is running fantastic and a great day was had

The spooge is a result of your fuel air mixture.

Thanks for the feedback Jim

I'm reluctant to dick with the air/fuel mix as I really like the feel of the bike at the moment and I can deal with the spooge, but I may drop the needle 1 slot just to see what happens.

Rode the Gasgas today at Neerim south. Absolutely packed in the carpark. Saw 2 other Gasgas ec300s, that got to be a record!
Jetting felt slightly off today, had trouble starting cold. With no choke it was struggling to run. Improved greatly as the day warmed up though. Hard to change it when it feels good.

 

[(F5)]

Pilot jet is blocked is my guess. I always run float down at the end of a ride so it isn't sitting in gas.
15 min, take off top, rotate, take off bowl and sprocket guard.

 

[Gez]

Yeah I'll have a look. I'm thinking an AS adjustment may be in order, I recently changed from a 40 to a 42pj

 

[ECRider]

Realigned my front rim by spoke adjustment to centralise it in the forks to avoid my new fatty front tyre from badly hitting the LH fork protector.
Then had equal rubbing on both sides.
Drilled out front mounting holes of both fork protectors by another 0.5mm, realigned protectors, now all good.
