Who is the rocket scientist that put the oil fill hole on the opposite side of the bike with the oil window?!?! That was an interesting oil change...ugh!
I was under the impression the power valve was built to be adjustable, sounds like it is a bit more complex than that. I will pull the cover to see what I can find. If it came just 2-3 hundred rpm's later it would make the world of difference in single track. Sounds like jetting is my answer, but I am far from a jetting master, and testing is almost impossible in the real world, as I have to ride 1-3 miles from my house to the trail. Even though it is expensive, I may just go the JD jetting route to simplify the process. Hard to explain to your friends they have to wait for you in the trail while you take your carb apart. Also, I found the bars too far back, so I moved them forward and up. Maybe that will get me on top of the bike more to keep the front wheel down. Do you think they put enough bolts on that skid plate...and of course I have a 2 tri stands with 3 different prongs and NONE of them fit into this stupidly small axle bolt. Done with my ranting for now |

As for the oil fill hole, you're about the 9,874th guy to bitch about it ... part of the charm I suppose. The pv is adjustable in 2015, but for 14 and prior you're a little limited in what you can do. Most guys will check for slack and alignment on the mechanism but stock up on a side gasket before you dig in. Again, well documented here.

Changing the oil and filter changes were always fun But like anything else you learn how to make it work. It sounds like you are not used to having that much power in your right hand. Fatten up your jetting and you will be fine. As I said before, get the G2 throttle Tamer. DesertGasser is selling his 23oz FWW and my understanding is that they make a world of difference in the tight stuff. I was going to get one for mine, but they dont fit on the estart bikes.

My YZ250 easily made this much power (or more), but that was one reason I didn't use it as a woods bike. Just annoying when you are lugging down a single track and just need a little more ompff and then bam you hit this wheel popping power band just 10 feet before a tight turn. I am totally capable of handling the hit, but it just f*cks with trying to set the bike up for tight turns or technical terrain coming off a fast section. The front wheel gets off the ground and I have to slow down prematurely to get the bike to turn. I like the hit, if I could tame it down just a bit or make it come on later. I am sure more riding will get me use to it. Looks like I have gotten a bit lazy on my 4 stroke...LOL

I think the air filter is awesome! This is the easiest one Ive owned. I like that I can feel all the way around the filter to see if it's seated.
I came from a 450 so the 300 feels very manageable. Once you get it jetted better I think you will like it. I can lug mine up steep Rocky climbs. Power is very linear and predictable. I can look at what needle I did if that would help. These guys can probably suggest something better than what I'm using. As far as the oil fill hole I think it's smart because, umm.. Well it's protected from.... HEY! Wait a minute!

95jersey did you change the silencer for the H of HP one. If so I'm sure you will have to re-jet to suit. There are heaps of threads on this. I bought a second hand ec300 and was recommended by jakobi to fit a n3eg, when I pulled the carby open that is what the last owner had put in it but not sure on jets though but I think they are stock. I have bought other bikes that are road worthy at the point of sale and had to do some form of de-restricting to get them race standard. It is not difficult to do once you have the right information.
I just put 900ml in a oil change and screw the plug back in. You don't have to don't have to be so specific apparently a lot of people just chuck the whole ltr bottle in. Air filter. I thought they heaps easy compared to ktm. You think you can get a quick release kit for the seat for top and side access if you want..I Just use plenty of grease on the seal. I decided to leave power valve adjustments and that sort of stuff for later once until I got the bike competitive and now I am not even that interested in going there. Maybe one day though. Nice bike there feller a good xmas pressie for yourself. |
