For full throttle runs (down a long straight or a road for longer than 8 seconds), you are going to need at least the 175 main jet to protect your engine; and for sustained full throttle runs, you can probably use a 178 main jet. The GasGas engine was originally designed by combining aspects of the CR250 and the TM250 engines. Then, they refined the porting and powervavle specifications to give the power delivery that they desired. I like being able to use a CR250 connecting rod kit and piston kit. We have bored the 250 cylinder 3mm to 69.5mm (also recoated the cylinder bore with nikasil and built up the head to match the cylinder bore) so that we could run the 14th oversize Wiseco piston for a Honda TRX250R racing quad. This also made necessary the "shaving" of the powervalve "flapper". It gave us a 274cc displacement. I ran one for 5 years on a '98 counterbalanced engine. It was great. It had more torque than the 250cc, but still felt like a 250 instead of a 300 as I raced between the trees in tight woods trails. .

178MJ fouls plug after 2 or 3 riding. N1EF needle a bit rich. 172 looks fine with this needle. Tomorrow i am going to post a video from Istanbul forests

The main won't cause the plug to fowl over time. A rich main will just break up and burble when opening WOT.
The issue with the stock setup is the needle diameter and rich first taper. Everything else you do to try and work around and resolve this is just a bandaid (smaller pilot, raising clip position, smaller mains). They may improve the small throttle loading, but as you have experienced already, cause other issues elsewhere. |

My 300 loves the JD red needle. My 250 likes the JD blue. Setting the float height was key to getting both bikes tuned properly.

It will get better when you put one of the new jet needles in. When climbing hills, remember, "Momentum is your friend." Good Riding and thanks for the video. Jim .

EC250R 2012 high RPM issue
By the way, KTM has a 36mm and GasGas a 38mm carb. That's one reason for the different jetting between the brands.

Once at the shop, a friend brought in a '99 GasGas he had bought for me to fix his "throttle sticking" problem. The previous owner had iinstalled a KTM jet needle, which was too short. When I "whacked open" the throttle firmly, the needle could come out of the needle jet and stick, and the bike would be stuck on "WFO". If anyone uses a KTM spec needle, make sure it's long enough to not cause this problem.
