I do run the stock tank. I heard you let someone demo your bike up there. A husky rider ? Howed he like it?
The 300's mileage suffers a bit in the altitude but it will easily get 55 miles at trail pace and appropriate carb adjustments. I tend to turn off the engine down the long steep grades and coast down to conserve fuel anyways. I also bring a 1 liter platypus brand collapsible jug with fuel to further extend range, and a 70 mile trip is not out of reach.
Race pace is closer to 45 miles a tank.

We only did a 55 mile loop on this day as my hands were tore up from the previous weekends race. I pussed out they were just to sore.

You get your machine at Taskey's? First one? How you liking it.

I'm on my 3rd 300 all bought from Skagit Powersports. 04 06 and the 08 you see in the pics.

Glad to hear some others in the PNW riders are stepping up to Gas Gas machines.
