2018 ec 300 bearings in oil
I've just dropped the oil in my ec 300 and was surprised to find 5 small ball bearings on the magnet in the transmission. I'm hoping if there is damage that gasgas comes to the rescue under warranty however although I have done under a dozen hours, I think it is over 12 months old..
I recovered from acl and mcl surgery so haven't been able to ride much so my bike has been unused for most of the 12 months. I've attached photos for people's opinions of where they are from.. |

Geez that's odd. I'd take a guess being that small they are either from the power valve governor, the water pump drive or the governor drive.

Scary! Definitely time for the side case to come off.

Just put her back together and keep on riding!!
Seriously though, I'd be calling the local dealer (if they are close), and discussing options. They might be able to do it under warranty even though its outside of 12 months in good will. If so they'll probably want to undertake the work themselves, or may be happy for you to do so and then claim the damaged parts. If you just hook into it yourself you may find they won't take part in it. At least if you discuss the problem before hand you'll know where you stand. I'd probably give them a call, tell them what you've found. Express that you are happy to pull the rhs engine cover to investigate yourself and then take it from there. All depends on your situation though.. how much effort to get the bike to the shop vs doing the work yourself etc. Agree with others. Probably from either water pump bearing or powervalve governor. |

Not "the others ". . . Just me. I'm like a Sensei guru.
Or just a drunkard. Actually it's probably more the latter. . .

thanks all for the input. Ill speak to the dealer on Monday. Its weird because it was a total shock to me as the bike was still performing like there was nothing wrong. Probably a good sign I suppose. Anyway, tomorrows ride is no longer going to happen. Will update when I find out where they are from.
thanks Josh |
