15 model reviews
How's everyone getting along with their 15 GG.
I haven't heard much, so must be a good sign? Does the e-start hold up well? Seriously considering picking one up.

People seem to really like the 15's. If I had the cash and could unload my 12' I would pick one up.

Guess everyone is out riding them, there's really no question if I would like it.
Only question is what size to get?

Well, guess were either going 300 or 250. No 200's were brought in and none left any where. Not that I could find. I'mThinking 300.

Initial report followed by updates-
Report- Put rad guards on. Easier bike to work on, more standardised fixtures. Set sag, rolled bars forward, loktited a few bits that tend to come loose.I left the fuel tap on & it leaked a litre of gas on the floor. Pulled the carb & checked fuel stopper thing, reduced the float level 1mm,noted the jetting- main172, pilot 35,needle NIEF clip2,AS 2.5.Temp 16-25,sealevel to 400m. Airbox- the bottom looks sealed apart from a rubber teat at the bottom. I can just see it filling up with water at the first river crossing? First ride was pine forest twin & single track, damp loam & mud with some stumps & roots. This things turns! seriously- look at the corner, tip into corner, go round corner. Done. It sits in ruts with no drama, you start looking for them because it is so fun. I nearly bought a Husqvarna 300 because I was unsure of the Reiger shock. It behaved really well today, very smooth. It kicked out on some fast ledge/rock hits but it is seriously under sprung (100 kg + gear. yeah, yeah bring on the pie eater comments).The 48mm zokes surprised me, better than my correct sprung & valved sachs. Every time they move there was a grinding, clicking noise. Looks like the clutch cable join at the top catches on the plastic face plate. Noticed the throttle cable rubs on a metal bracket at the top as well & is wearing already. Quite annoying. Jetting is pretty good. Very clean & responsive off the bottom, burbly in the middle but once the power valve opens it just buggers off wherever it is pointing! Updates- Jetting 180,42,NEDW #2 SMOOTH & STRONG. Battery leaked onto the air filter FFS!! Lithium ion installed,should be standard. Suspension- Correct springs in,front revalved,set sag-had it all wrong & is sensitive to a few millimetres difference. Reiger shock is excellent.Really,really,REALLY good package. Tyres- replaced 6day FIM with Pirelli's.Much better. Airbox- took the teak off,it just fills with dirt & blocks up.It may just be me but getting the filter to seat properly is awkward,never sure it is sealed properly & check several times. Brakes- Just awesome. Side stand-Bear trap with a small foot.Good for racers,not for trailriders. Starter-I put a 2015 starter unit on.Never fails or misses.very fast turn over with the lithium battery. Aesthetics- Good quality plastics & graphics.Still look good. Overall- Reliable,turns well,stable at speed,strong bottom with linear smooth power,always fun to ride. |

Forgot to note it is a 2014 replica.With the exception of the power valve adjuster it is the same as a 2015.
