    I run my 08 300 on Motorex 2T at 50:1. I used ta run my old 300 on Motul at 40:1. Every now and than I’ve had to put mineral oil in on a ride. Just the lawnmower stuff from the servo and I could’nt really tell the difference. It was only for a short time though. Maybe check out a bike shop for some advice mate :)

    A mate got his 530 pinched in that one in Newcastle that Jeffro mentioned. The cops let him know that they have it but he has’nt got it back yet cause the theives stuffed up the engine numbers and the pipe was’nt on it. So the coppers havta hang on to it until it is positively identified and all sorted out. :(

    Hey Bundyroy. Mate I don’t know exactly how many hours but at first I just kept oiling up plugs every ride and than it was running like a dog like it had shit in the carb. It was’nt until I rang oldmate Pete the mechanic at Cessnock KTM who told me to check out the reeds. I put a new rings in aswell at the same time. At a guess mabye 300 – 400 hrs. It was a 99 model and i done it around 06 if I remember rightly. I rode heaps more than aswell, 3-5 hours every weekend mostly. The good old days :laugh:

    Hey Murph. It will be a nice easy fix mate. My old 300 did the same thing but was not as noticable as Tims. Mine was more of a crack. :) I can’t remember the type I put in but they were after market ones and all was good again. :)

    G’day
    Tried to post this last night from home but my home computer was’nt playing so had to wait till I got to work.

    Just wanna say that I had a great day :laugh:
    It started early with a full pack and on my way :laugh:
    Hit the bush for a bit after a couple ks of tar ;)
    Then back on to the tar for some air at the servo. :)10 psi in the front and 8 in the back :laugh: Pushed the button and set 16psi in both wheels and all was cool :cheer: Up the road for a bit and back in the bush :laugh: Had a bit of a fang through some stuff on the way that I dont know :)Put some extra fuel in that I had. Got lost for a bit in the streets around Murghs but found his place and all was good. :laugh: Said hello to Murph and Tim and meet the fellas and we were off :laugh: :laugh:
    This where fun started :laugh:
    Straight away we where into it :cheer:
    Wheelies :laugh: Pulled up with Tim for a chat when he was leading. Waiting for Scott and Sneazy :(
    >Murph was settin up ahead for a photo shoot :ohmy:
    News was that Sneazy hurt his finger in a hole B) and Tims bike wanted to be home by the pool :laugh: After a bit more tracks Sneazy and Tim decided to bail and head for blue skies and sunshine :laugh: Hope ya’s had good ride home fellas. :)
    Was cruzin for ages on some good tracks and havin a blast and then Scotty had a bin right next and in front of me. Man I had front row seats and it looked bad :( Stuff that though Scott bounced up like nothin happened. I was in shock though :laugh: :laugh: All was good and off we went again . You have got some good tracks that ya ride on Murph.
    Stopped for a burger, drink and some fuel and the body was feelin great. Hooked up with Logan and Mick and where off again. Made our way to Amazon Hill and was a little apprehensive as I knew it was gunna be hard.
    Tried telling myself that I was gunna ride straight up but my sub conscious new better and was sayin turn around dickhead this is gunna hurt to much. :( By the time I got to the last hard bit I was so stuffed I thought my body was gunna pack it in and said to Murph that if I could’nt get through it it was turning around. Sucked in some big ones and with Murphs encouragement blasted over surprising easy. Out on the open trails again me body started crampin for a few minute than came good again just before meeting back up with Joe. Down into Bangalow cabin for a much needed rest and laugh with the fellas.
    Started heading back and after a little bit more with everyone decided to spit for home as I was heading out (wifes xmas do) and had to ready by 5pm. Got home around 4 and was into the pool.
    Thanks for the ride Murph. It’s always fun ridin with you mate. And to all the others it was a top days riding…cheers and thanks for a fun day out on the trails.

    Highlights.
