2010 Gas Gas Six Days 300 (Help)
This is my first Gas Gas and it hasn't been the most favorable experience. I purchased the bike in April of this year and here is what happened so far with the bike.
First the bike was diffucult to start and seemed as though the jetting was too rich. I checked the carb set-up and this is what I found. 178 main 42 pilot N1EF Needle second position from the top air screw 1.5 turns out riding area 1500-2000 feet 88-95 degrees outside The bike ran horrible just above half throttle as if it were loading up, the side case (clutch side) had an extreme amount of heat. Within a day or so a 2.5 inch hole cut through the clutch cover. One of the hex head bolts either was not tightened appropriately during assembly or backed out. It was covered by warranty Next the choke mounted on the bar stuck opened causing a rich running bike and I replaced that with a manual one. I pruchased numerous jets and kits from JD jetting and L T racing nothing seemed to work The jetting problem or irregular running bike continued, I took the bike to a Gas Gas Dealer to help me trouble shoot the poor performance. We replace the following parts and the bike still does not run any better. New carb New CDI New Coil New Voltage regulater New stator and wiring harnes New dual mapping switch New Exhaust and muffler New Reeds and v-force intake Verified compression and leak down test We verified the power valve was working and not sticking. Nothing seems to change the iratic running. We also had a new 2010 300 and could campare the difference between the two bikes. My bike the six days model ran so poorly the shop technician was embarrassed. What should I do next, I am really dissapointed with the bike but the customer service from Go-Fasters and the dealer have been incredible. I have been riding all my life and nothing like this has ever happened with a bike I have owned.
