Thanks. They are fun projects for sure. Ill have the engine reassembly video out in a week or so.

@@AndrewPackard the end of the exhaust pipe was not installed yet. That's probably the case here.

I need to work on some of the details of video editing. I've got more videos on the way, and I'll make sure to improve this. I was wearing a dust mask near the end, which messed with the sound. I appreciate you pointing it out, and I'll make adjustments in the next videos. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

@@sawyermierau Absolutely. You would notice a big difference on the low end, which is more responsive on the EC300. I came off a 2022 ex350f and that was one of the more obvious things I noticed off the bat.

@ ok perfect I’m between that and the ec250

@@seanjurebie7633 Thank you!Excellent! Looking forward to it.

It's always a great time out there!

@@isaacgentz3319 Yah. It definately sneaks up on you!

Thanks, will do!

I have the same sound, no idea what sound is it, if you have an answer please share it!:)

@@tiesiogignas3818 take your exhaust off and take a look at that piston. Could be piston slap. A lot of people say cold 2 strokes always sound like that but idk I just got mine a month ago lol. My piston is in rough shape and nothings loose

I had to rewatch the video and didn't notice any ping or slap noise. However the exhaust is missing the rear extension, so I'm wondering if that had something to do with the noise you are hearing.

@@SRTceejay I think at least the majority of it. Been a little while and can't recall.

@@SRTceejay you can get the clutch and piston off ebay, I know that much.

@@the_rocky_mountain_rider awesome thanks

@@LoraxOfLiberty Nice! Sounds like a fun project.

@@judelarkin2883 He's a few minutes behind. However, he'll be in in the 3rd production because I'm saving the best for last!

@@dREaDneck_Moto Nice! Have fun out there.

@@isaacgentz3319 Haha, don't feel bad! This was my 2nd attempt at it. A CRF 300 is a nice bike for most trails, without a doubt, but was not particularly designed for trails like Kelly Flats. However, maybe some lower gearing might make it more obtainable. Strong work on going for it, though. That 1st 300 yards is a little rough.

Haha thanks! Definitely was a good little bike but like you say definitely has it's limits. How do you like the gas gas, and what model was that in the video? I've been contemplating getting a beta xtrainer for trails like this, but seeing you knock out Kelly flats has me thinking about gas gas now

@@nazdriderThanks, bud! Yep, that is the same place. Hoping we can get out riding again soon!

OMG! That's the best deal in town. Congrats on that.

@@chrislunn7860 Yes, but it's not that noticeable. Just a little extra zip on the low end. I've heard the map switch is more noticeable for power delivery on these 300s.

@@mv2woods it is an animal!

I got the owners manual off reddit, but can't recall where I got the service manual or parts manual. If you can send me your email on InstaGram, I think the files are small enough to where I can email them to you.

And yes, it does have the OEM part numbers on there.

I don’t have Instagram, only Facebook and Messenger, but would LOVE to have that info. I think my wife has IG.

Would love one too I may eye reddit first

Thanks! I was curious to know what others thought. Still learning the finer points of video editing...That alone is a deep pool of discovery.

Thanks! FR 182, Pratt Creek

​@@the_rocky_mountain_rider Do you get there from Redfeather?

Hello, I'm wondering if you have either an after market carb or have newer jets. Sometimes carbs off ebay won't have the jets stamped. However, as per the manual: Main jet #140 Pilot jet #17.5 Starter Jet #30 If you have Instagram, I can send you pics of the carburator specs. My handle name is The Rocky Mountain Rider. Aside from that, best of luck and please reach out if you have any questions. We have to all work together to keep the old stuff running!

Also, jet needle is a 4L6-3 Needle Jet: 0-6 Throttle Valve: 2.0 Pilot Screw: 1 1/2 Valve Seat size: 1.5 I didn't have to mess with any of this stuff really but just thought I'd give you some additional information if needed.

@@the_rocky_mountain_rider thanks for all of that info mate. Its been a mission trying to find the specs on the old girl! Its a genuine mikuni installed, but I dont know if its the original or not.... its a 28mm carb which measures up to be a VM26 or VM28 mikuni which I was going to order the 26, now I've found that they come out as a VM24 stock carb. Sometimes I think I look to far into this stuff 🙄 but.... Its all learning hey

If I remember correctly, I got them off ebay.

For the white plastics: Scotch Brite pad, soap and water. The blue plastics were originally purple, but painted blue.

Ebay, I believe.

Congrats on the new bike. I got mine on Ebay. Also worth noting that some of the gaskets cross reference with the DT100 as well.

Awesome! And yes, they are a great bike. Best of luck.

Good question! I can't say for sure. I use an outreach device called ZOLEO, which allows you to text through an iridium network, similar to how you can call through a satellite phone. Aside from that, I can't recall if there was cell service through a standard network.

Ok thanks for the info

Nice! I'm sure you will have a nice time. Keep in mind that this OHV area is not too big, but still fun. The southwest end has some mini slot canyons that are fun to ride in. The CRF 250 is a great bike.

No, unfortunately not. Nov 1st - April 9th. www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/arp/recarea/?recid=32184

I've never seen it too bad. Usually the south end gets less traffic, while the north end being a bit more open, seems to attract more riders. Be careful otherwise, sometimes riders sneek up on you.

@@the_rocky_mountain_rider thank you for the reply. I saw you are technically only allowed to park in the parking lot but noticed other videos people with trailers parked outside the fence. My trailer is pretty big. Do you have any idea if they enforce parking outside the fence?

No seals on the clutch side that i recall or can see in the reassembly instructions. I woulnt think its a lower end seal being the culprit, but perhaps the reeds on the head. How do you know your not pulling air in? Sounds like your reeds are not opening, to let air in, which admittidly would be a bit strange, but possible. Bogging down in 4th could be a number of issues, such as jetting size, dirty jets or fuel bowl level not set correctly. That almost sounds like your starving for fuel.

It absolutely is!
