Default 2007 GASGAS 300 EC Rebuild

So it's Winter here not much else to do but drink beer and rebuild bikes so thought I would give the GASGAS a going over. I'm rebuilding the engine and giving the rest of the bike some attention. Thought I would post up some pics for interest. If you have any advise to pass along, please do.

I'll post up a few pics as I get things done.

Wow, you weren't kidding. What would make you go that far into it? 2007 year looks new. High hours? I have yet to dig deep into my 2003 300ec. Have fun and keep the garage warm.

It's interesting what you find when you strip a bike down, I'm really surprised by the weight of the frame they made it to last. The bike had a hum in third gear so thought I would change the bearing in the motor. It's mostly labor so not huge dollars to do it.

Here is a few pics as it goes back together. Frame painted and added some Neoprene to the skidplate and covered the clutch cover in heavy vinyl.

Ya when I looked up bikes with the red frame it sure looks good. Mine is a 2007 with 2010 plastics. I had to alter the air box, can upload some pics on that. You would need to change you subframe I am not sure about the air box to pull it off but so worth it.
