scotty300

Thanks for the info. Any idea how much fuel we are likely to need for the 2 days? Would 3 5litre cans plus a full bike be enough?

riding the lakes for the first time this year, has anyone seen any final instruction etc yet? Just wondering about petrol stops etc Cheers

My 300 pro started running bad at the weekend. It sounded like 'pinking' or over heating. The bike stopped after about 30 seconds of running like this. I can notice a puff of air coming out at the bottom of the cylinder when I kick it over. Is this likely to be as simple as replacing the base gasket or am I looking at a more serious problem?

Can anyone suggest places to stay for lakes 2 day? Even names of nearby towns would be a help Thanks

hi, does anyone know when entries are out for the lakes?

I am considering my first SSDT in 2013 (although more likely to be 2014). Just wondering how 'legal' myself and my bike need to be, I know I'll have to take my bike test however I'm not sure what insurance etc would be required. Also, how much would I expect the week to cost including entry etc?

Just installed a new kickstart quadrant on my 09 300 pro. The shaft is in place with the spring loaded. When I push the kick start down the quadrant engages with the idler gear and turns it, however on the return the quadrant and the idler gear do not dis-engage. Any suggestions? Cheers

Yea I got the dealer to put the gear onto the shaft when I was buying it. I'll have another go and see how I get on. Cheers

I've just replaced the kickstart gear on my 09 300 pro. I'm just wondering how the shaft goes back on? I watched a video by jim snell which says it needs a full anticlockwise turn before it goes into place. Mine seems to go into place with about half a turn. Any advice?

Im also attempting the scott for the first time and im not sure whether to be excited or nervous! Has anyone had any info sent back from the club or will this come out aftet the entries close?

Travelling from northern ireland. Wanted to make sure they had received our entries before booking the ferry.

Has anyone who put an entry in had any confirmation yet? Don't want to make any travel arrangements til i know I've got a place

Was going to ask the bed and breakfast> question as well, or is over night camping allowed at the start area?

One of the fork legs on my 09 pro have a slight scrape on it, meaning I am constantly replacing the seal. I've taken the worst of the roughness off it with fine emery paper but it hasn't helped. Does anyone know of any products I could use to fill the scrape? I've heard a few people mention plastic metal?

Just wondering how often you'd expect to replace rear wheel bearings? I replaced the rear ones on my 09 pro in February and they seem to have some movement already. I ride for an average of 4-5 hours a week. Is this normal? Are the wheel bearings a specific gas gas part or could I get them from a bearing shop? Thanks
