Default Race Prep for 08 EC300?

I know that this thread could be in several different forums, so I apologize in advance.

We are getting the first 08 EC300 (US spec) to arrive in Canada next Wed or Thursday at the latest and are proceeding to head to SC for the 1 National Enduro in SC on Friday morning so time is of the essence getting this bike prepped.

The rider is a SR "A" rider that is a multi-time ISDE Veteran, and is very fussy about bike set up. (That is the polite way to say he is a whiner.)

Give me the run down on what parts I need to have ready for the bike. What about jetting and gearing? I always ran a 50T on the back of my 300s. Is that the norm?

How close is the jetting on the US spec bikes?

I am thinking that .45 springs should be OK for a 180lbs rider.

This rider is super pumped on going to GG after 4yrs of being sponsored by Suzuki Canada on an RM250 (2T).

We are hoping to find somewhere to ride on Sat outside of Sumter to break the bike in as much as anything and give us a chance to play with the clickers and oil levels.


Thanks in advance for the advice.

Scott
