No one really races Mx with a 300Ex. But XC ppl do.

And PPC racing. Powdercoat you can ride with. It is for looks but is very stong. Unless you pced your skid plate

The open 4 stroke winner at my local races,,won the overall title on a pissed off 300ex,,,he raced some highly modded 400ex's and won..:eek:

i thought the hood looked a little funky, like a big nose, the 300 is too short too add that thing, it makes it look bulky:confused:

I race MX with mine and I am mostly stock. I can jump everything everyone else does I just lose a little going down the straights. I was thinking of modifying it, but I would rather get a dirtbike instead since I am faster on them. I would recomend tires, a good set of shocks, handlebars (stock ones are weak) and a pipe, then maybe go into the motor. But you definately want to get the handling set first, in stock form the handling can barely keep up with the motor, it will only get worse the faster you get.

I raced a 300EX my first season of XC racing, it was bone stock with a K&N and Supertrap full system. I finished 4th in the PRO class. I did manage to break a shock though. Replace your stock shocks with Elkas or Works. (preferably Elka's) You'll be race ready with, Bars, Shocks, Tires, and a pipe and filter.

Well Toby maybe you had bad luck, mine are still doing good and I put them through a lot of abuse. Was it the shock mount that broke are the actual shock itself, I have heard of shock mounts breaking because apparently Honda can't weld them very well.

i heard about the shock breaking. at the bottom where it connects to the arm.

The shocks do break right a the point where it mounts to the lower a-arm. At least that where mine broke.

Correct o mundo! WE actually broke a second shock trail riding @ little sahara. THe 300 now has 2 brand new stock shocks. We only ride it ocassionally

Yep, that 300ex was faster than a Cannibal out of the corner. It would be awesome if you were to get into it. It really is a lot of fun.
