    This is them here
  2. I tend to agree, although to be honest you dont hear lots of problems with the vertigo, but if something were to go wrong it usually requires a laptop to diagnose it. I disagree on the point about footrest brackets, the gg is a steel frame, if you manage to somehow bend the frame here it can be straightened again. Ive seen the alloy framed montesas actually break the frame here The price difference to the gp i think is mostly around suspension. Engine performance difference isnt that noticeable
  3. Im biased towards gasgas. The GP is unnecessary, unless money is not a problem. Are you close to a vertigo dealer if something goes wrong with it? GG have a better dealer network now theyre under KTM. Other than that, neither is a bad bike
  4. I know youre not supposed to sit down on trials bikes, but the seat on that bike looks even more of a deterrent
  5. Theres no such thing as indefinitely in a 2 stroke. Where do you mean? The centre box or the tail pipe? Oil contamination forshortens the life of silencer packing before anything else. Scorpa said their sy silencer had ceramic packing that never needed changing. Bikes started to sound rough and performance dropped after about a year. It may have a better chance in a 4 stroke. Otherwise i like your thinking. The non woven stuff i would imagine being the best. Also, many people think silencer packing is only to silence the bike. Engine performance is extrememly dependent on packing type and density. Glass fibre isnt heavy, so theres neglibgle weight savings. If the time to clog the cf is the same as the gf, i dont see where the benefit comes from. But im also tempted to try lol
  6. I cant say for sure because i dont know, but the later sy guard i dont think would be a million miles away
  7. I love it when you can fix something with a little knowledge, some elbow grease and no money
  8. Trousers over the outside of the boots are a pain, especially if you ride in shrub, they catch on everything. Jitsie do a loose fit or any mx trousers would allow kneepads . Shift used to do what you are looking, over the outside of the boots, but i dont know of any officially marketed for trials trousers that do as you describe. Mybe look at some enduro brands. like acerbis, i think they do tough material over torusers. https://atmotocross.com/products/acerbis-enduro-one-baggy-trouser-pants-black-yellow Or hebo https://hebo.com/en-en/products/pantalones-tracker
  9. My word. Thats dedication to the job. Are you returning the ones that didnt work? 😂
  10. A wild one, but Is your engine in straight? Youve got the front down tubes out, is your engine resting on something that is canting it backwards a little? I doubt theres that much play in the other 2 engine mounts (i assume theres two others on a trs). Your head steady is still on too proabably, but clutching at straws here Not sure about ngk, but ive seen other makes with the standard 3/4 reach but with a shorter insulator section. If the dealer isnt wanting to swap it out for th eother length, i think the easiest may be just to get it machined down to fit the short reach plug
  11. The swingarm is allow I can tell. The swingarm is alloy, but the frame is chrome plated steel. Engien and frame components youre going to be largely restricted to the years 97-02. Wheels, brakes, carburettor will be largely interchangebale with later years and other makes. What are you going to do with it? If youre plannning on just pottering around thats ok, but if youre planning on doing a lot of crashing id try and find a cheap second hand rear mudguard on ebay or somewhere you can swap over when practicing or the like. You cant get new ones for that model, and the blue plastics are even rarer. Btw your petrol tap is on reserve, off is the tab pointing back, on is down
  12. Looks mint. Want to sell? 😁 I miss chrome frames You should find most of what you want here. https://www.thehellteam.com/technical-support/gas-gas-parts-and-service-manuals Your model is the end of a line. The pro model followed from 2002. Not sure when the txt model came onto market, 97 ish?
  13. How long are you intending to keep the bike and wanting them to look new? The zinc spokes start to look tarnished again within a couple of years, at least in the weather over here. The stainless are expensive but will look just as good in 10 years as the day you get them
  14. Try allens used trials spares on FB
