lotus54 Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Well, I now have four OSSAs in the garage. (One is a restoration project). we did some trading and I now have the 2014 Factory 300 that has been talked about a bit. I didn't have much trouble starting it, but I'm going to do my 'super easy start' mod anyway. I'll check the mixture and all that stuff too. Certainly more power than my Explorer, but it is heavier also. I'm not exactly sure how I'll set it up- some sort of 'long range' seat/tank likely the Betas have I think. I'd like to try one of those and see if they fit. Mark 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwoodlief Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 enjoy. ;)..happy it went to a great home!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotus54 Posted April 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Thanks! It should be lots of fun. I did see a missing bushing and screw on the lower kickstart (common to come loose) and that makes it harder to start also. I think I have a spare around (it looked like something that could get lost)- otherwise I'll get one coming. The TPS needed to be reset again- it was a little off. So far, Ive seen the like to be reset a after a number of hours, then every 100 hours or so. (It has 17 hours). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ossabc63 Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Hi mark does the kscan software tell you the hours on the bike. ? Just wondering how you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotus54 Posted April 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Yes, K-scan give total hours, and some re-setable ones. I use the re-set hours to help keep track of service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotus54 Posted April 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 I'll have to set it up with the '74 Explorer also 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotus54 Posted April 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Anyone know which is the 'soft' on the map switch on these? The map loaded doesn't say two different ones in the description like some do- but reported to have that feature. I haven't really had it out enough to figure it out. I never got around to modifying my Explorer to use two maps- but it would be handy (like using one of the maps with 'road' and 'trail' settings) mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lotus54 Posted April 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Yes, that is the same version I'm running. I did try a few different ones on my Explorer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotus54 Posted May 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) This was last thursday heading to a two-day Trial in Goldendale, WA (they had a World Round there about 2001) I had a great time- but rocks scare me (I usually ride logs, roots and mud) so I dropped back to Novice. %5BURL=http://s298.photobucket.com/user/lotus54/media/A-I%20trips/Deschutes_SP_DSC00423_zpsbbjvilov.jpg.html%5D%5BIMG%5Dhttp://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm256/lotus54/A-I%20trips/Deschutes_SP_DSC00423_zpsbbjvilov.jpg%5B/IMG%5D%5B/URL%5D http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm256/lotus54/A-I trips/Deschutes_SP_DSC00423_zpsbbjvilov.jpg[/IMG] Edited May 25, 2017 by lotus54 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
