Edit: gearing is 13-48


Unless you rev the snot out of your bike, stop using the Motul 800. That stuff has a VERY high flashpoint and doesn’t burn off under normal trail riding conditions. Motul 710 is a much better suited to a typically low reving 300.

Your jetting is in the right ballpark and preceded by lots of GG riders.

I would be checking the power valve as suggested. Something else to look for is a big heavy flywheel weight. Some guys run massive weights which will make the bike rev really slow, making it seem like it has no power.
