It has Electrical fuel injection too.

 

Did anyone find out what the stage 3 mod gave out in horsepower in end was it 68hp
i am gonna get this done to mine have just finished running it in so i am all rdy for a
upgrade, and 68 hp sounded good.

 

NO info on the stage 3 yet. Still no 450 in the US that I know of. One thing you might want to wait until you put about 200 hours on the machine before doing anything to the engine. The reason is the GasGas engines take a long time to break in. I've got 6 races and a couple hours of trail riding on my 300 and the dealer rode it friday and he said it was also break in. Ripping harder and harder every time I ride.

 

I am up to 800 kilometers of running it in! cant be much more i think at 1000 i will take a look...

 

before you think of going for the stage 3 make sure you have got the new head and piston check with your dealer. there was some problems at the start with overheating only on some of the bikes this has been sorted but there should be a differant head gasket head and piston. how do you find the steering?

 

Hmmm the steering well as long as your on the gas is ok......
but could be doing a lot softer but if you lift front wheels of
ground is still hard to turn i am gonna try changing bearings..

 

it's not your bearings, its one of two things.. either 1- upper steering shaft bushing is too tight on the shaft
or 2- caster angle is too steep.. they have about 15 degrees of caster & should have about 5-6... most likely the second of these. the fix is caster adjustable upper A-arms, then get it dialed in.

 

I have taken of front wheels and removed steering rods and steering is still stiff??
what the hell i think it might just be that is too tight like you said was just checking
too see if thats what it could be cheers a lot for help!!

 

OK i know what it is. Its is the casters they are rock solid all of them, steering with
out the casters or rods is so so easy now. i checked to see if they were stiff and they
were extrememly hard. can i change them or any way of losening them?

 

Is the 450 going to be electric start? and how much is it going to take out of my wallet?
