I just fitted the ecu to my bike, I haven’t yet fiddled with it to much and I loved the original setup, but after a few settings I realised there are a world of tweaking that can be done to get your bike just the way you like it for the conditions and riding style.
-
I have a 2015 J.Gas 300, very happy with the bike, apart from the clutch cover breaking at the same place every time.
The hydraulic pressure seems to be to much for the wall thickness of the cover, and it pops this little ring of magnesium off every time.
Is there a remedy for this or how can it be repaired?

a Large percentage of the riders who do well, has ridden the SSDT a couple of times. The SSDT is very complex, and every year you learn more about the format and the sections.
You ride your first SSDT, you are going to be surprised by the ferocity of the course, between sections and the difficulty of the sections. Some of the sections are big, and the average rider will have to preserve himself and ask for a five.
I rode my first last year, I am back this year. Best trial in the world.

After an agonising 9 month wait, I collected my bike from the airport last week. I was disappointed to see the formula front brakes and Dellorto carb, this was supposed to be the racing model.
I have just climbed off my 2014 Gas Gas racing and was ready to hate this bike, problem is, this bike is a lot better....

Felt my clutch on my 2014 300 racing, was a little hard, drained my oil and found this little surprise. split the cases and discovered the 2 halved needle roller bearings on the gear shaft has gone.
This has happened on my 2012 300 racing as well, and at least 7 other Gas Gas riders around, one would think Gas Gas would have sorted this out by now.
I was running Motul 300v gear oil.
-
I am 1.90 tall, and after years resisting "ape hangers" went to the 5.0 Jitsie bars recently, it took time to get used to , but I think I like it. It is only 12.5mm.
-
I have had a couple of racing 300's over the past couple of years, they are getting better every year.
Brakteck brakes are good, auto stand rear calliper and back wheel mounting is big improvement.
New radiator from 2013 has been a awesome.( although the fan used to jump off on high impact). No issues on the 2014 model though.
Pity they don't have a dog bone protector like the new Evo's, And the swing arm play is a little to much for my liking.
-
-
I have eventually, given up on my formula rear caliper and replaced it with a AJP. For some reason you always start the day without back breaks, squeaking its way through the sections, until on your last section of the day they are almost there. No amount of bleeding and tinkering help. R.I.P. you bastid!
I like the levers and the clutch though.
-
The 2012 racing comes standard with the Reiger shock. The Keihin carb is probably the biggest difference from the pro to the racing and Raga.
-
The Ohlins is a sweet shock but is far to exposed. I should just get the Jitsie protector. I have the 2012 racing now, I can see the dog bones are slightly different from last years model, here is my latest mod. Just a piece of rubber drilled and bolted down with the shock, probably wont last long.
-
Of the 4 2012 Gas Gas racings in town, this has happened to all 4, I have replaced my shock, and use a bearing retaining loctite to keep it in place.
Its a problem.
-
Yes its coolant. They easily leak from the hose connections, the overflow from the rad cap or worst case a broken radiator or head.
-
Same thing happened to my 2010 and 2011. It is a weakness.
-
I have heard that if the coolant level is to low the thermostat does not work properly switching the fan on.
-
I had the same problem on my brand new 2011 300 racing. Spewing water out of the overflow, got a new rad cap that did the same. The problem was that one of the rubber"O" ring seals on the head was leaking. Replace both rubber seals and your troubles will be over. Its probably bleeding water into the barrel.
-
I have had good results with caustic soda, but its hazardous to work with and needs to be done with caution! No cutting open, pour the flakes inside, dissolve with water, shake it around for a few minutes,it will heat up, pour out , rinse with fresh water and repeat until you are happy.
-
Yes, its the irrepressible Gas Gas 300 Racing 2011. there is a couple around.

I had the same problem last year on my 10' 300. Knocked the gear lever on a rock and 1st gear was gone. Broke no 13. It involved splitting the cases I am afraid.
-
Thanks, that gives me something to work on.
-
I loved the delorto for its no fuss reliability. The keihin is more aggressive and delivers linear power from the bottom, I get the feeling it gives me more time between consecutive obstacles, from recovering from one obstacle and quickly applying more power for the next.
I have already ordered a protector, fiddling with the silencer drives me crazy.
-
I have been competing in trials for the past 4 years and stalling fives are ruining my scores. Apart from a faster tick-over I have been avoiding my back break hindering my riding in other ways.
Any advice please.
