protruck Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Hi My 06 300 is fine now, had all sorts of bother with it when I got it. Piston too tight in barrel etc etc. I was the same as you, couldnt ride it. Eventually tried pushing the forks further up into the yokes by about 4mm ish and fitted some renthal fat bars. Put a 12 tooth sproket on the front. Bikes now mint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ham2 Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 (edited) god: you're not alone with the piston problem.. I don't want to say much cos my mate has to sell his bike but his 06 300 nipped up twice in a matter of hours. It all got to the legal/threats stage before GG agreed that the piston was too big for the barrel so yours was not just a one off Edited January 5, 2006 by HAM2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasserboy Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 (edited) oooohhh this piston business dont sound good, done a bit of work on mine now. Changed gearing to an 11-42 slowed it down a bit. I really like it! Had no problems running it in! I did hear about a 280 06 nipping up and cusing damage! I wont be happy if mine does!

jools Posted January 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I heard about the piston nipping up on them before i went out and bought mine. The engine was extremely tight on it and took about 12hrs to run in and running it on 100ml of oil before it really losened up. All the previous ones i had took about 2 tanks (6hrs) to run in. God: lowered my forks 5mm and didnt feel any different. Thanks for the advice though. Gasserboy: Mine came with 11-42 gearing as standard - yours didnt perhaps you should run your bike on more oil for a bit yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
