Ollie new Ride 07 Gasser

[DeanMember]

Thanks luke, I havnt pulled the carb apart to check it out yet,and I am considering the .5 base gasket,I hear the .3 makes the bike cranky and you must run 98 premium fuel or octane booster. Im not as fit as I should be and am quite happy with the way the power comes on now but a little more snap coming onto the main would increase the grin factor. let me know when you get a nice combination going

cheers Ollie

The ride on Sunday was uhh eerr eventfull :unsure: I found a couple of good tracks off creek rd and new mill rd unfortunatley the loggers have been in there and wiped out most of the access tracks to them. There was a couple of big uphills that we didnt attempt as we had Kempy with us (Newby) This was his Virgin ride on dirt:laugh: The poor guy had 5 crashes going down this one downhill,that wasnt that steep or tricky and was really pissed off at me after the fourth. I couldnt help myself and was laughing at him!:laugh: I went past him and sat at the bottom of the hill with Gili and gave him directions.
Both Gili and I were impressed on his last effort RE: massive crash:ohmy: where kempy got our interperation of go left hand singles confused with “give it some” and launched himself off a 3 metre embankment with a whip thrown in for good measure:ohmy: :ohmy: he landed flat on his side :side: he will be feeling the pain today,no body armour. We picked up the KLX and straightened her out a bit,but noticed a big hole in the water pump supply Hose probably from one of his previous crashes,as there was no coolant around the last crash site. Luckily I had a piece of plastic 12mm hose in my bumbag and with a generous proportin of tape and cable ties we got it fixed. We then took the main rd back,we gave kempy directionsto the cars.Gili and I got into the tight single tracks around the Pines,Gili got to ride my bike and hopefully will provide some of his views on the Gasser.The WR450 was running like crap wouldnt come on to the main,might be a blockage in the Carby,It sounded like a rev limiter was holding it back, weird. I have a couple of photies that I will upload later on

cheers Ollie

WOW.
I hope u didn`t scare poor Kempy off !!!!! Another KLX rider I notice.
Poor bastard, hope I don`t suffer the same fate with you guys :ohmy: :unsure:
I have heavy duty leco conduit wrapped around my hoses to help in the puncture situation, Don`t plan to test it,,,, Bashplate will be a while off, but I am working on it as we speak,,,,,
Can`t wait for the report on the Gasser too, bring it on Gili

For Sale…… One WR 450!!!!!
Well, after a rather interesting few K’s watching Kempy (Wingnut KLX) repeatedly throw his bike down some flat trails, i got to have a play on the new 07 Gas Gas 300. I emedietly felt at home, the cockpit comfortable, ergos slim, seat flat and hard. The torqy power of the 300 brought a big grin to my face! Brought back memories of my 98 Yam WR250 2t. The marzochi fork and sachs shock felt just right for me, you know when you jump on a bike and it just feels right?
We rode the section with the woops in it at near the camp site, i was having a ball flicking it neatly through the trees and berms, and skippded across the woops with little effort. We switched bikes to come back through, and although my bike wasn’s on song, it still felt a complete opposite to ride. Felt top heavy, power not as thrilling (maybe jet issue?) and basically felt like jumping on 91 XR 250 (yes TB i did own one!!)
All in all, a bloody great trailbike, light, powerful, nimble, and just very enjoyable to ride. It certainly has me thinking of getting back onto the ringa ding dingers!!! Perhaps the new Husky WR300?!!

Cheers, Gili.

This sounds like a classic case of too rich on the mainjet. Remember that the weather is now hotter and drier than you have been riding in. You will need to lean off the mainjet and possibly adjust the pilot circuit to compensate for the changed environmental conditions. Just try going down one size on the MJ at a time and take it for a run.

cheers mate. When i took the silencer off, there looked to be a bit of soot in the header, so prob as running rich.

Nah! sorry nigel,the temp on Sunday was very mild about 23 degrees,it was a blockage of some description or at the other extreme an electrical issue, but that reminds me I will have to throw the red JD needle and 168 main in my WR450 on the weekend.

also could have been the way Gili oiled the airfilter and overdone it,maybe a combination of all of the above:unsure:

I’ll bring the carby into work tommorrow Ollie, giv her a srub out, check jets etc. I’ll also pull the spark plug for inspection, maybe check fuel for impurity?

[Anonymous]

I would still be leaning out the mainjet. The “rev limiter” sensation is called rich stumbling. The mainjet only takes 5 mins to change. Maybe think about getting one of those aftermarket jetting kits, for a bit more flexibility in tuning.
