Hello to everyone! I'm going to buy a 2011 ec 300 soon and I'm a little confused. Owner claims that is a sixdays version
1. Reading this forum ,saw that 2011 six days comes with: Sachs/Ohlins and Marzocchi/Ohlins. I'll attach some photos ,if anyone can recognise the fork. (Owner says that the bike is eqquiped with Sachs/Ohlins). Βefore buying, 300 will be seen by an engineer. Then we will find out which version it is by removing the side cover by it's ignition. I have seen what both flyweels look like. They produce also different voltage right?! 2.Bike has a grey head compare to other GG which have a darker/black color head. I saw few bikes on youtube with the same color head. It's not aluminum. Does it come from the factory like that? Seems the same but grey :confused: 3.Also bike has 300+hours with stock cylinder. Is that too much? I will take dimensions from cylinder and piston,to see if their condition is good. After how many hours does need this bike new cylinder? I hope everything go well because the bike rips!!! :D |

In the pic it looks like the 48 Zokes but would need to see a pic of the top adjusters for me to be sure. Quote:
OP, it's easy to tell by where the wiring comes out of the flywheel cover which stator/flywheel you have. Roughly 10 o'clock position is the smaller stator, if it comes out at the 2 o'clock position (at the bump in the cover) it is the larger stator. From the pic you posted it looks like the larger one.

However, the forks in the picture seem to have black inner legs which points towards 45 Mazocchi or Sachs. The 48mm Marzocchi PFP came with chrome inner legs with black outer or black inner legs with red outer legs, right?. |

I Know the pic doesn't match up with either the 45 or 48's I've owned but the 45's I had were on an '05 and had chromed lowers like my 48's. |

I don't have another photo. Are these red top adjusters? Maybe is Sachs?

The are almost certainly 48mm Sachs.

So bike probably has Sachs/Ohlins. Is that a "standard" version right? Flywheels on standard/6days are the same or the only difference is the stator?
Thank you all for your responsiveness! |

I don't think there was any difference in stators or flywheels in 2011. The difference (apart from the suspension) between the standard and six days models were mainly cosmetic. The SixDays was more "completely" equipped, with some protection under the engine etc. Perhaps another type of handlebar. But this was 10 years ago, most of these parts will have been replaced several times if the bike has been ridden off road for 10 years. So what's important (in my view) is the state of the bike that you buy. Does it seem to be well maintained? One word of caution regarding the Sachs forks; I fear spare parts can be a (even) bigger problem there than the Marzocchis, but I don't know. I have a son with a Sachs-equipped EC300, he has not needed any spare parts lately :-) |
It seems to be well maintained. I am skeptical about what I'll see when the mechanic opens the cylinder. I hope it will be ok.
Owner has changed the fork-suspension springs with harder ones. My weight (85kg) is for 44( is this number a kind of hardness?) springs. This is the 2nd owner and with my turn I'll become 3rd. Forks and suspension had a service when the current owner bought it but I don't know what does it means. What does include a fork/suspension service? Some oil change or what?! |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooke%27s_law Fork and shock service usually includes replacement of oil, sliding bushings and seals, plus full cleaning of all internal parts. I do it every 40-50 hours or so. Ohlins states every 25 hours for some of their products. |

I am studying in the second year as a mechanical engineer :D. 25 hours is quite frequently. Should i pay attention to anything else on the bike before buying it? Subframe or something else? Thanks for your response guys |
