Ok...we went to the dealership and we took a look at it.......the thing is modded out. It has a twist throttle....a different rear sprocket.....skid plates all around......maeir plastic...a high compression piston....and thats all I can tell.

I don't know how to maintain this thing.....what oil,or anything....I took it for a spin in the parking lot.....wow.
Anyway...how do I maintain this beast? (oooo a 300ex beast!).

Every time I went to stop the damn thing it would stall...I wasn't holding the clutch in when I stopped,that was probably it. What is the best 4-stroke oil to use? Besides changeing the oil.....what else is there to maintain? Any extra precautions because of the high compression piston?

I can't wait to open this thing up,it looks totally wicked.

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

 

BTW its a 95.

 

Matienance on a 300EX is very basic, clean the air filter, change the oil, adjust the valves, lub the chain, and take half way decent care of it. I use 20w-50 SuperFlo in mine, I hear that thats not good for the clutch but so far its ok so I'll keep using it. Also, when you stop you have to pull in the clutch or else it will stall, its just like a car with a manual transmission. As far the any extra matienance with the high-comp. piston, I wouldnt know I don't have one.

 

Adjust the valves? I need a manual

 

I love my 300ex. You basicly just have to do the stuff that the kid above said. That is what I do to mine. But i do not adjust my valves every time I go out.

 

I backup everything else, I should have kept our 99 300EX as a backup for the Raptor.

good [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] It has a really good price too,it was 2650,now we got it down to 1900. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]P

 

I use 10W-40 in mine. 20W-50 is a little thick I think. As far as adjusting the valves only do it about every 100 hours or once a year. My bikes a different story since I have a lot of other stuff done to it. I adjust mine about once a month. Either way they are reliable as can be.

 

I think the oil might depend on where you live. I live in Florida so its warmer here and the engine gets a little hotter and the oil thins out more. I haven't adjusted my valves yet either, I should probably get around to that.

 

I'll have to purchase the honda manual and figure out how to adjust the valves.
