Be sure and check your spokes, especially in the rear wheel. I found a couple of mine very loose after a couple of rides. I would imagine they will settle in after a few rides, at least I'm hoping they will. Great video by the way. I love the 300 motor, so tractable.

My dealer said mine was a 38 mm too, but it is actually a 36 mm. The literature also says mine should be a 38 mm but it is not. You probably already know this, but there is a stamp on top of the carb close to where the cable goes into it. Whatever that stamp says is what you actually have. What you said (above) sounds like what some are running in the 36 mm carbs so that is what prompted my reply here. Please do check it out and confirm.

Cheers!

I love the threaded inserts! Never thought much of them until Robbie got me to try them after a lost a buster at one enduro he put on when i clipped a monster oak.

Can you report how you went? Confirmed 38mm?

What temps/elevation/premix ratio are you using. How does your plug look?

My bike sounds similar to yours but I'm running a step leaner all over. 38 N3CH#2 175. 20-30C 300M+ GRO50:1 - Plug is looking very nice on one side, lean on the other.
