I replaced the kickstarter ratchet pinion, starting pinion and spring on my '05 EC300. The cost of the parts was 85 euros including shipping from spain. I put an extra 3mm washer to preload the spring a bit. it was slipping for quite a long time.
What seemed to be a 40 minute job nearly ended in disaster... I overtightened the clutch center nut with the air wrench the last time I had it apart and today I stripped the nut of its thread! thankfully it wasn't the shaft that stripped. and the damn thing is 18X1mm; very difficult to find on a saturday evening... It's ok though, I got a lathe. but no 30 mm hexagon bar, only 27mm. So I filled up the worn nut with the welder and a 29-9 electrode, bored it and rethreaded it. Phew!

I put on the studded front tire on my well used Talon wheel. Also replaced the brake disk with a home-made lightly used one. Soon ready for the winter's fun!

Replaced all 3 bearings in the rear Talon wheel and put on a studded Mitas there too. In the front I use a tube this winter, but at the rear I installed a secondhand T-lock I got from a friend. This time I'll keep the summer tires on the OEM wheel set, ready to swap wheels in the spring.

Cleaned mine after a ride on Sunday, cleaned air filter and am giving No-Toil a go. Also gonna give some stinky oils a go, bought so Klotz R50 and Maxima 927.

I run castor oil in my lawn mower and the smell brings back memories of being a kid braaping around the forest

I did nothing to my GasGas today... I'm missing it.

I was stood on the rocks fishing (caught nothing) getting lashed by the waves dreaming of riding my GG... but it's tucked up in the garage back in France while I'm trying to find some winter warmth on the Algarve.
