Nato,
You didn't say where you're from but here in the east we add a 50 tooth rear sprocket. Clay |

The rear was a problem, found out no gas in the rear shock. Certainly explains a few things for sure. Getting it back this Friday so can't wait to test it out - suspect the changes will make a world of difference!! |

Sorry to go alittle off thread Nato but- to all 2010 EC300(not race or 6 day) owners with the sachs red forks- were your stocks forks really that bad? There seems to be a huge variation in the forks.Mine are pretty good since I had them serviced, 5wt oil 110mm level.Maybe a bit harsh on compression so could remove some oil .Although I haven't ridden something amazingly good to compare it too.Just curious about the mixed feedback & comments.

How much preload are you adding to the fork springs?

I'll let you know the exact amount when I get it back from the tuner. He is trying different settings to get the optimum.

in terms of "must have" items, i'd say skidplate and handguards and jetting and call it good. everything after that is window dressing. that said, mine has somehow ended up with the following: cycra handguards hyde skidplate/pipe guard pivot pegs (i was curious...) watchdog enduro computer ohlins 2.1 steering damper ohlins ttx fork cartridges (i know i said the forks were fine, but these puppies are like riding in silk pajamas, and i got an offer i couldn't refuse) the stock rear tire is done, and it's time for something nice and meaty. other than that, i'm thinking about a bigger tank, or at least a gas cap that doesn't drool so much. nothing else left to do but ride and smile... |

I'd almost be closest conditions and geo wise being in FNQ. Alot of the must haves come down to the conditions you ride, what you're willing to replace, and your own rider skill.
For me I skimped on the hand guards and have wrapped my knuckles a few times but no broken levers. Rad guards/braces are cheaper than new rads and the unsuspecting ninja log is all it takes to bring one undone. Bash plate is cheaper than a set of cases and alot less work to fix. Jetting will bring fuel consumption into line and make the bike more enjoyable to ride. I bought a pipe guard because I'd never owned a 2 stroke and didn't know how much time it would spend standing upright. I figure a new pipe will fit back in there later aswell. Thats how I justified myself.. You just have to ask yourself what you think you need The bike will run just fine straight off the floor. Everything after thats making it 'your bike' |
