Hey everyone,
after much debate and owning many different dirt bikes i finally bought my first brand new one and my first GG! so far i am at 10hr and loving it, heres a little teaser pic. looking forward to learning things about the bikes and adding what info i can from personal experiences. |
Congratulations on your new bike, I'm sure you'll have fun on it!
Where are you based? All the best, Dave. |
Welcome to the FAMILY!
|
I see you brought it from ST.HILAIRE MOTORSPORTS. Where are you located?
|
Welcome!
|
Thanks for the welcome everyone! i did buy From Josh at St. Halarie, who was one of the best dealers I have worked with and that fact definitely helped sway the decision to buy a GG. I had to travel a ways to get it tho, as i am located in the northern parts of Maine.
Just happend to work out that all in one day i sold my 2014 tiger 800Xc (sigh, will be missed but less time to ride meant bike consolidation) and picked up the NEW GG! This made me feel a little (ok a lot!) better about seeing the tiger go :D. |
Welcome to the small but neat family. Hope you will have good fun with your red beauty!
Cheers Doc |

Well said!:) |
First thing is, Jet it properly. A large majority of GG folks in the US have good luck with the N3CH needle, 42p, and 175 main. Next up if you want to spend a little money is, get an RK Tek head. If you ride any rocky stuff, but a Rekluse clutch cover ASAP. The stock one is made of toilet paper.

jetting
Thanks for the tips on the jetting! I just pulled the plug this weekend and it looked to be burning pretty good, maybe a touch on the rich side, also no spooge out the tail pipe. I will likely start playing with the jetting in the next couple of weeks (I ride at roughly sea level to 1,000').
I also saw the pictures of the clutch covers cracking and the rekluse cover would pay for itself over ending a ride that I had to travel for, so that is on the list! My first small batch of goodies showed up today and consisted of a choke knob back on the carb and the locking side stand bushing (dropped the bike twice just checking spokes when the side stand flipped up on me:mad: ). oh yes, and my ugly orange 500$ registration/sales tax stickers are now on the bike too! |

I have not changed needles or main jets but dropped one pilot size from stock with my bike riding at the same level as you do. Running a hair rich, but that's where I want to be anyways. :) |
The issue with the stock jetting is the needle. It’s total garbage. Little to no bottom end then BOOM!!! it explodes into the mid-range. Anyone that is running the stock needle is missing out on sooo much bottom end power.

jetting
had a beautiful weekend with lots of seat time on the new gasser! got to ride a little of everything... slick rutted muddy, hard rocky hilly, few jumps and even a n 8th mile section of old rail road ties about a foot out of the ground spaced a foot apart.
I was going to rave about how much better i love the new bushing for the kick stand until... well the whole shabang fell off! (guess i should have used some loctite :rolleyes:). read the owners manual and set all the clickers to stock which worked well except having to go in 2 more clicks on the fork compression. seems to be working very well now. Also set the sag but i had to max out the adjustment (compressed) to get 104mm so either a diet or new rear spring may be in order. as far as jetting, i will be making a few changes, likely starting with the needle after reading everyone suggestions. hope everyone else was able to get seat time int his weekend and have a good ride! |
