Default New gasgas ?

I've noticed all the photos I've seen recently have the ignition wire exiting at the two O'clock Position.

Are all the gassers coming with the heavier ignition now ? Can you request the lighter one ?

All of the 2011s have the heavier igniton only. There is no option to order a special ignition but the lighter ignition can be purchased through a deaer.

OK Got it . Standardization is a good thing in some instances, you know what your getting , and the option for a lighter one is still there.

Thanks for the quick reply.

What is involved in changing over to the lighter system and what is the difference between the two say on a 2010 GG 300?

John Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will answer your questions. I've only had the lighter one on my 300 so I don't know.

I have not changed an ignition on a GG but I have on a KTM and it's pretty easy. However, I can not imagine anyone would want a lighter/snappier ignition on either the 250 or 300. I ride my 300 in the softer map pretty much all of the time. The flywheel is lighter so it is going to rev quicker. That scares me thinking about it, much less riding it!

I've gone from the 2K-3 to the 2K-2 with a weight on my 250s and like it better. I also run a G2 with a #200 cam. This combo is very versitle. At one time I had both systems and swapped occasionally for conditions and to experiment but liked what I have now best. I traded my 2K-3 for a spare 2K-2. It is very easy to swap the system, all you need is a flywheel puller. The CDI is the same.

Don't the Race models come with the 2K-2?

Thanks guys and I agree Clay I wouldn't want the 2010 300 any snapper. My son on the other hand is only 30 and he was "just wondering". We went riding yesterday, him on my old (now his) 2010 GG300 and me on my 08 Husky Cr125. We switched bikes after a few hours and man I did most of the trail loop on the 300's the rear tire LOL. No need for more snap for this 51 year old. Thanks again and I'll pass on the info to him.

GMP,
I was getting conflicting info from people here in the US about what the Race models did come with. I emailed the factory and was told that they engines are the same, including the carb and ignition. I think there were some differences in the past but now the factroy has decided on one standard configuration.
