New 2018 300
 

deleted by me

Very Nice bike! Good to here they are starting off on the right foot with the new model. There seems to be a rush on Beta's around here lately. I'm on a Sherco and have ridden a few Beta's and don't see the what all the hoopla is about with that brand. Nice views too btw!

Nice bike! Thanks for sharing the info!

How are the engine vibrations? I've never rode a 300 so I've only read about some 300's vibrating a lot. My 200 doesn't vibrate much.

I noticed a few vibes in the first hour or so of use. But now after about 50 miles of single track I don't feel it at all anymore. Initially only really felt in the footpegs. They quickly went away. Bike is super smooth. Although I need to get this suspension figured quickly. Going to ride the Beta tomorrow until I can some springs for the gasgas.

Les Tinius (LT-Racing) is a very good suspension tuner that is in your neck of the woods (Port Orchard, WA) - he is well known in the gasgas/beta/husky communities.

His website is at www.lt-racing.com

need heavier springs front and rear.. got a line on those?

Mark get that bike all dialed in and then we will go on a ride to deburr it properly.

sounds good. Should have most things like bark busters, etc on this week. Suspensions going to take a second.. need fat boy springs for it, ;)...

Hey Mark, I have them on our site for you to order. I personally checked these springs and know they fit. I do a great deal of suspension work here and are very versed on these KYB's and how the Gas Gas bikes work. Anything I can help with please feel free to ask me. Thanks, BUDD

dude.. you are awesome!!!.. I'll figure out what I need here after some coffee, get my wallet out of the truck, and let the Credit Card loose. ;).. Thanks!!!!!

so odd.. I've never seen spring rates go up by 3's like on the rear shock on the site. I have the fronts in my cart. The owners manual says I need 54 in the rear. I don't see that on your site. Do you not sell the 54?

These are in Kg-M and your manual has the spring rated in N-M. There is 9.80665 N-m to one Kg-M. General rule is most are close. If you have a 54 N-M rear spring that is very close to .55 Kg-G spring. 1 newton meter is equal to 0.10197162129779 kg-m.
Thanks, BUDD

I'm here til 7pm eastern time. Call 570-429-0678 At you leisure Mark. Coffee is much needed at 5 in the morning. LOL Thanks, BUDD

Budd is 2nd to none when it comes to customer service and his suspension work is astonishing. He revalved my 2015 and it's a whole new bike. I am a heavy rider too (260) and I find that springs heavy enough to hold me up tend to make the damping a little wonky. Once you get your big boy springs in, if your still not happy I highly suggest you send it to Budd and let him work his magic. Pricing is half of Stilwell and the other over priced high end shops too.

Couldn't wait. Picked up a xc300!

Hi Markwoodlief

Hope you're enjoying your new bike. :)

How's the bike jetting feel straight from the factory?

Can you tell me (or anyone else) the standard carb settings?

Pilot Jet?
Needle?
Slide no.?
Main Jet?

Thanks, Dave.

OK, just downloaded the 2018 manual and found it actually lists the carb setup. :)

Pilot Jet 42
Needle N1EF
Slide no. 7
Main Jet 175

Still interested to know how it feels?

Thanks, Dave.

2018 Gasser gp300
 

Road a 2018 gasser ec300, xc300 and a husq tx300. The tx is an awesome bike no doubt and gas gas has become a modern bike to be reckoned with.
Im looking for a bike to ride offroad and make some adjustments and ride track.
The husqy did great off road but i wasn't quite able to get it hard enough for the track.
Gasser with the new kyb setup i was able to bounce the rocks on trail and a few clicks and i had a decent track ride.
I'm a 175 lb averge rider and have riden dirt all my life ..50+
I had one other gasser, 2011 ec300 that had kyb retro forks. What a great handling and riding setup.
I was going to get the husqy but then gasser made all these great changes and what a ride. Way better than the 2011 with the same great tractor pulling motor. A very balance bike that corners well and doesnt knife under.
The hard part was to ec or xc....then i decide to get xc and add lights. But wait....then i found out there is the gp300 that brings both together with a really trick triple clamp with many other options that are awesome and fashioned after their race bike. Also there are only 50 coming in the US. Should be great resale market on them.
The final nit for me was when i was on the husky i felt like i had put on a nice glove that fit well.
When i ride the Gasser i feel like i had put on that glove that was a good friend i had broken in and had no bad spots.
So i decided to ride the friend that HAD all the RIGHT STUFF. Awaiting order.
More to come........

The wait is over and worth it. I have recieved my GP300 and it is awesome. What an awesome bike. I found out that the 50 GPs coming into the US is 38 300s and 12 250s so i feel really fortunate to have one. Pics attached. I know that this dealer has one more coming soon if you are interested. Dealer is Moto Center in Mesa, AZ, 480.642.6686, motocenteraz.com ask for David.
Happy trails

Congrats!

Thanks.
And yes it is, but it looks good in person. That was a good catch from a pic.
It rides and handles awesome.

Very very nice
How much are the different models $?

671 extra bucks here in WA for the gp. I have a ec300 and pick up my gp300 tomorrow morning.

Very nice.

$671 extra seems like a bargain.

Ordered my EnduroGP 250 this morning!! :D:D

Can't wait to actually see it!!!

There were only 3 250's left in North America, and 5 300's.

Now there are only 2 250's. Better move fast if you want one!!!

Picked up my GP 300 Saturday.. Build quality is insane, and attention to detail is amazing.
