[QUOTE="ian9toes, post: 1019412, member: 52515"] G'day I have had an 04 250 exc then rode a mates 05 300, only breifly but it was enough to convince me to get a 300 exc. I now have an 06 300 exc and it's much better than the 250 apparently the motor is exactly the same as in 05. I remember reading magazine reviews about the 300 being a handful if your not careful with your right hand, but I disagree, it is much eaier to ride than the 250 no more top end just more bottom end making it more linear and it's amazing how much it will hang on in the lower revs. If you want four stroke power put the optional stiffer power valve spring in (takes about 3 minutes, I carry the optional springs in my bum bag and change to the stiffer one in slippery conditions). If you want some serious power than put the lighter springer in (there are 3 different springs to choose from) but you'll want some decent traction or you'll be wheel spinning more than anything else. Maintanence wise, I change the gearbox oil every 10 hours, and I've got 73 hours on the motor and it's still going hard, won't be rebuilding it any time soon. But I've noticed some oil aroung the counter shaft sprocket, my 250 required a new seal there too in the year and a half I owned it. [/QUOTE]
