Single Track Therapy's video: First few rides 2022 Gas Gas EX300

I have 7 hrs on the new ride now and have been working on getting the AER forks running right and seem to have them feeling better now as of today. I came off a 17' TE300 carbed and this bike is quite different. The EX is the X country model so has the close ratio gearbox, AER forks and some other minor differences. Glad to report that it can go through the more technical terrain with a tad more effort than the trail models. The good: Brembo brakes are good and feel just like the Husky The crisp power is good, and throttle responsive, albeit that low end is off by a touch (compared to a carb) Transmission is well spaced, I prefer this over the wide ratio Well thought out for servicing (ie air filter) Feels light (XC models a bit lighter due to AER fork, no headlight) The bad: The AER forks have been an adjustment period, they got a new mid valve in 2021 MY which is good, but it takes some playing with PSI and clickers to get them feeling good in the slower choppy stuff ( I am at 130 psi, and 26 out on compression, 18 out on rebound) but it feels good now. I don't believe the 8.5 L gas tank is going to give me the 100km my TE300 (with a 10L tank) would The seat is not very sticky Idle is pretty low I will have to do the idle air screw upgrade, this has caused me some stalls and power off the bottom can be richened (A/F) with this mod My gear doesn't match :( Most that stuff can be fixed with mods or upgrades so not to worried.
