Do these bikes come with all three inserts or just the one that's in it and the ability to change inserts easily by purchasing the others? I've wondered about this same thing on the Raja trials bikes as well.

Only the insert in the head. You have to purchase the other inserts separately.

Don't forget the massive effect the squish band has over the entire rev range. With the variance in squish coming out of the factory it would be hard comparing any 2 bikes regardless of model. Essentially Clay has confirmed its the same engine with the same ignition. It'll be as much the same as any other GG you purchase.

E-start vs non? I've always wondered if this adds anymore rotating mass to the engine?

I took an entire mm off my squish going from the standard head to the S3 head with the black insert. It boosted the power everywhere but by no means made it a handfull. I've found jetting (especially the needle) to have the most profound effect on power delivery. But that really is opening a whole other can of worms.

If you wanted to upgrade you'd be getting extra bling factor and possibly some better suspension depending on what you had and where you ride etc etc ect.

The ring gear is very thin and light. It's the only part that rotates when the engine is running. I doubt you could tell the difference between the 2K3 with or without the ring gear.
