Just poked my head into this thread, its been a few years since I've been in here. Looks like the last post was 2018! So I might just fix that. Recently picked up a 2017 300 with about 100 hours on the clock. Pretty clean. I have been doing regular maintenance to it along with heavier springs and adding a Lectron carb. Bike is running really nicely now and is a lot of fun in the single track.
Latest addition was to upgrade the headlight to an LED bulb from Cyclops Adventure Sports, along with adding the small but powerful Explorer 2 LED light, also made by Cyclops. It puts out very light light on the trail. I had this light on my previous 300 as it didn't have a stock light on it. Its nice not having to worry about getting back to the trucks after dark, as has happened a few times already!
changed from the BR7EIX plug to the ZGR plug at the dealers recommendation
Did he say why? I havent heard of the ZGR plug.

Its OK to be Human! - hopefully other precious monkeys wont be offended. #SheepToo ALL LIVES MATTER!
Fitted Vforce reeds and red PV spring to my 2020 300 TPI.
Also changed from the BR7EIX plug to the ZGR plug at the dealers recommendation
These are the plugs that come in the 2021 bikes from OS - apparently the bikes run a lot better with these plugs-in Australia a lot of dealers are changing them out and putting the BR7 plugs in.
This week I Changed the rear sprocket on my 21 150 from 13-48 that was on the bike to 13-50 that came with the bike in the box. Also changed the gear shifter with the 300 shifter as I found the stock 150 was to short for my boots.
Diagnosed a no start condition on my 2018 ktm 300 TPI, It was the voltage regulator.
It had no spark, Fuel pump power, oil light and not dash power.
Grounding the white/Black wire on the main relay confirmed the failure and allowed the bike to start.
Given the weather lately, some fresh rubber both ends, The new Mitas Terra Force single green on the rear with a Fresh Mitas Extreme mousse.
Forks are back from OnPoint and I’m keen to try their Extreme Hard Enduro setup.

Pain is Inevitable...............Suffering is Optional
A few rides in now on the “little Pocket Rocket” and I’m really starting to gel with this weapon of a bike. Still nothing iv found I can’t do on this bike that I can’t do on the bigger bikes. I’m still blown away how this bike got me up the (Dissa) WidowMaker (Clean) first go-better then iv ever been able to do-unbelievable.
I changed the rear sprocket to the 50 and I’m still unsure about this as it’s running out of legs on the open trails , I’m thinking of maybe trying a 49 rear somewhere in between. I tried the red spring in the PV and I found with the bigger 50t sprocket it was to aggressive and losing traction with to much wheel spin so back to the stock PV spring.
About 400 hrs on old girl 300. 1st real maintenance done since 2016. Top end, starter bendix, rear shock oil/gas, rear wheel bearings, fixed subframe end wearing away, new rear guard, indicators, burn the pipe soot out, muffler repack. Everything else in working order.
