drew300 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Greetings from Maui. Just bought my first trials bike a couple of months ago, I have an 09 gasgas txt 300 Pro. I hardly ride it because I get worn out trying to start it, and just give up. I am spoiled with my electric start KTM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Welcome to the weird world of trials. GasGas makes really good machines, I thoroughly enjoy mine. but they can be a bugger to start sometimes. Try this technique for starting the GasGas. (use the choke when cold and sometimes when hot too.........) Lean handlebar on tree (or some other solid object that won't mind handlebar marks) Stand on the pegs, slowly push kickstarter down until you feel resistance. (take up the slack) kick downward in a firm smooth motion. should start 1st or 2nd kick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
