Hi folks
Just picked up an 09 ec 300. I just couldn't pass on the price. It will be replacing my 03 250sx KTM, which for me is pretty difficult to ride in the woods. Love the broad power of the 300. I've been reading on KTM talk for the last couple of years and am happy to know there is something similar for gassers. I'm in central UP of Michigan.

Hi bud, I am new on hear as well, I have just sold my 07 300 for a 2013 and to be very honest I wished I kept it, so good luck with your new bike, I know you will love it, I had a 2010 ec 250 as well and wish I never sold that and sorry I am not running down the 2013, it,s just that I got used to the old bikes and just need to Gel with my new ride, Cheers Adss.

Thanks for the replies. I have one ride on the 300 so far and other than working with the suspension for my wieght, I think some tall person mods are all I'm going to do. New bars/ riser and possibly some offset pegs. Are there any other fellow big people out there who can recommend springs for my 250lbs?

Front 5.0 N/mm, rear 60 N/mm would be ballpark numbers. You migth even go a bit stiffer.
