then we had to get a 1mm thinner washer between the hub and the basket to move the clutch in, so we could get the gap at the pp without hitting the inside of the clutch cover...

mine is an 01, he said it was one of the oldest gg's he has ever put one in..

Ah yeah, I may have read a post you made about that, as it sounds pretty familiar. I'm hoping I can find one that's only a few years old and hasn't had too much use. "Worst case" I'll get a 2011, but I'd prefer to save my pennies since I don't really don't even want e-start and a battery on it. Actually, I think the 2010 is one of the nicest bikes I've seen, so I may scour the west coast and see if I can find a shop with a close-out.

300 4T to a 300 2T...... increase in quite a bit more power and snap for sure.

Really the only possible scenarios that I could see where the e start with the auto clutch could save your bacon, would be if you lost your kick start lever. Also in a very unlikely case it did cough and die while on a gnarly hill.

Hopefully it's not too much of a contrast? I had a KDX200 a few bikes back, and from the sounds of it an EC300 is less peaky and more tractable so I'm really not too worried. The TE310 lacks a tad on the low end, but it's pretty snappy once the revs get up and can certainly keep you on your toes. It's almost...like a 2-stroke. Hah. The irony will be going from a "4-stroke that's like 2-stroke" to a "2-stroke that's like 4-stroke". At least that's how I've heard both bikes described.

You Might try Gran Prix Cycle in Albany Oregon. He had several bikes in stock last time I was there. He may have had a '10.

Thanks for the tip, Mike. I checked, and nadda, but that's okay. I'm keeping my eyes open on Craigstlist and such.

Hi Jesse,

So you've checked the New Bike forum (Lewisport?) There are a couple of shops there showing 2010s.

And here's a 2010 for $6K.
