Just a example of how it will work, if the switch is set on Wet / Mud setting then the bike wont rev past 7000 rpm but when the switch is set on Sun / Dry setting then it will rev past that to about 11000 rpm ish !! I can tell the difference on mine but only when I ride up a massive steep hill, and I mean giving the bike all it as got in 3/4 gear
There is nothing wrong with my bike im just trying to find out what other peoples opinions are of my readings as i cant find any doctuments any were what tell me what it should be reading.... and as i dont get chance to test other peoples bikes i was hoping any one out there may be able to copare my readings to there's, just in case it is low and need new rings!!!
Bought my self a nice little Gas Gas TxT pro 300 on a 2007 a couple of months ago, i've done the full service stuff it as no head spacer and is compelety standard and pulls like a train. I've been asking about trying to find out what the Compression should be reading on the tester?... My reads 145psi, thats with about 10 good kicks and the bike on a stand and the tester in place. Any one out there done a test on there's if so his mine at a good level or low on compression.
BTW, in our local clubs, only the Championship (national caliber) riders generally get the 300cc. Expert riders get a 280cc, generally. Advanced to Intermediate tend to favor the 250. Beginner classes are 200-250, unless they are really heavy riders.
A small expert rider I know HATES the 300, says it's way too jumpy.
If you ride lots and lots of hillclimbs (we don't) then I suppose a 300 would be good, however.
For non-national-class sections, I can't imagine my 280 not having enough power.
Try both a 280 and 300 in sections, and see which you like best.
If you're a beginning rider, get a 250, and the slow-black-throttle tube, and consider a smaller front sprocket!
Hi,
So why would the 300 Gas Gas be less powerfull then the 280 Gas Gas! and with some mods could the 300 match the 280? just that i can get hold of the 300 easyer than the 280 in my price range..
