Default 2014 GasGas 300XC

Am in the process of tearing 2014 GasGas 300XC down to check everything out. Took off forks to check out steering head bearings. Guess what. There was a little rust on lower bearing. This is not uncommon on any motorcycle. I have over the years had to replace Kawasaki, Honda and Suzuki lower bearings. So if you have the time, check them out. Also found some not tight enough fasteners on Black box and other electrical stuff under gas tank. Hope this is helpful.

I found some electrical fasteners under the tank that were non-existent.

connectors were clearly missing bolts. Not hard to figure out when you have 2 empty holes that line up perfectly with no bolts.
