If I install houser +3 longtravel a-arms on a 300ex what will the wheel base be? I am trying to keep it 50" or a little less!

+3 for a 300 will be under 50 inches. no worries. a lot of people run +2 400ex arms which leaves you almost at 50


What about 400ex +3 long travel?

well i think even on a 400ex, +3 would be about 51 or so. +2 400ex arms on a 300 is pretty wide. it's what i run and i've had it on it's side wheels maybe twice. no worries.

We recently purchased a 2005 Honda 300 EX, I dont get to take it out everyweekend and from time to time forget to put it on the charger, its really easy to bomb start, but was wondering if you can get an aftermarket pull start kit, or kick start kit?

there are no kits per se, but you can convert the 300ex into a kickstart. the 1987-1992 trx250x had the same engine but a smaller stroke and it was kickstart. you would just have to find a good bottom end and swap some parts over. sadly, this involves cracking the cases to be done properly because one shaft that holds a gear is absent in our newer bottom ends.

many people ask how to install a aftermarket oil cooler. here is a pic of the hoses routed into the stock oil line. its pretty self explanitory.

as far as torque specs and sequence: get your case on just be very carefull that the gasket does not shift and start putting your bolts in. once all the bolts are in go over each one and snug them up DO NOT over torque these because the threads are aluminum and can and will strip. like i said just snug them with a ratchet. just dont make them super tight.

do you have any specific questions about installing a clutch so i can narrow in on what you need help with

dont be shy if you need more help

i think this video will help to give people the idea of how to make the 250r swingarm linkage fit the 300ex.

I got my clutch done now, but thanks for the help.

I just used a 1/4 inch drive socket so it wouldnt be as easy to over tighten them.

clutch works great so far, not really able to ride because of the dang snow
