laffing-gas Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Ive moved this post from the mechanical section to in here cos i got no answers in that section hope someone here will be able to advise me Hi my gas gas txt 280 has got broken exhaust brackets under the middle box and is blowing a bit. Its not blowing enough to make the exhaust louder as i can tell but will the bike be losing power due to it losing gas from the middle and not the end of the exhaust pipe ? The bike as been like this since i got it so i havnt noticed any power loss myself but was just wondering if the bike would pull more or be more responsive if i fixed this problem. The bike seems fine to me but if i sort the exhaust out it might feel miles better. ? what do you lot think and is this a known problem with the gas gas (its a 2000 model) any help would be great cheers.

matt Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 the alluminium middle boxes are sh*t on the gasser, you wud be far better putting a steel one on like the works lads. there wont be a noticable difference in weight and it will hold together.
