wtb 300 engine

alex.s · July 18th, 2013, 03:25 PM

i'm looking for a good condition 300 engine with fuel package and engine electronics. preferably near california.

let me know your price.

choneofakind · July 18th, 2013, 03:25 PM

Cheater bike!!!

alex.s · July 18th, 2013, 03:32 PM

its actually for my commuter bike. i love the 300 engine and trans. plus the efi is so easy

ally99 · July 18th, 2013, 05:24 PM

I converted your skeptical A$$ by tempting you with a test ride

choneofakind · July 18th, 2013, 05:27 PM

Is that all you tempted him with?

alex.s · July 18th, 2013, 05:31 PM

i have to admit. the 300 engine was superior in every way to the 250 engine. if i don't find one to stuff in my spare 250, i will have to buy a new 300.

ally99 · July 19th, 2013, 01:09 PM

Any mods? Is it a white one? If so, I'll fly out to So Cal, get it, and ride it back home!

alex.s · July 19th, 2013, 03:15 PM

group ride with ally back to georgia!

ally99 · July 19th, 2013, 04:02 PM

Party at Ally's place!

choneofakind · July 19th, 2013, 07:23 PM

In. As long as party consists of drunken bicycling.

Ouch! Chris hits you where it hurts!

choneofakind · July 21st, 2013, 03:35 PM

haha sorry, I know he got a little uppity when I called him bald in chat.

hahha

JBinSD · July 22nd, 2013, 08:52 AM

Hey Alex, I saw a 300 in our local CL for $4400 I think, it had some scratches, so may be a workable deal. ..
**Edit, already gone, gotta jump on 'em I guess. . .

alex.s · July 22nd, 2013, 02:31 PM

damn good looking out. i'll have to keep my eye open. just blew apart the trans in my 250 again (my fault) so a new 300 would be a good idea hah. gotta figure out how i'm gonna get home tonight.

Lychee · July 22nd, 2013, 02:55 PM

How do you keep blowing up hardware for these bikes.... Your garage is a ninjette graveyard =(

alex.s · July 22nd, 2013, 03:03 PM

when you abuse hardware, it tends to break.

How'd that happen?

alex.s · July 22nd, 2013, 03:15 PM

i was abusing my transmission and it went chunk. now my external shift arms are slid off the shift hub. root cause is an already bent external shift transfer rod, combined with no reinforcement on the left hand side because my sprocket cover is off. (that is what originally allowed the bend to happen)

choneofakind · July 22nd, 2013, 05:28 PM

Why not put the sprocket cover back on? I know it's a race bike, but...?

Sounds complicated. Get a nice, shiny new 300 (and let ME ride it too!), and it'll take a while for you to start breaking stuff.

alex.s · July 23rd, 2013, 09:15 AM

@ally99- good idea! two up at barber?
@choneofakind- yes.
@Bones85- details after fixing it last night: the spring that holds the two arms of the external shift linkage onto the shift drum came off and fell down to the bottom of the engine. so the shift linkage was not connected internally. i wound up having to take the clutch off and fish the spring out from the oil pan. replaced the spring and bent the ends in slightly so it wont come off again. i actually have several spare transmissions... this is actually my 4th blown transmission believe it or not... maybe i should be nicer to my tranny. its just hard when its so easy to fix.

Best of luck on your 300 search
