Gas Gas

My 2007 TXT 300 had a stuck fan. Rather than pay a rip off

hi all, in a similar vein to 'show us your gas gas' I thought that it might be good to have a 'what did you do to your gas gas' section. I freely admit that i have taken this from the uk ktm forum! it seems to be a useful thread and has been in existence for several years with many hundreds of postings. On the ktm forum it is a useful exchange of ideas and I hope that it could be the same on this forum. so, I will start: 2005 txt pro today I cleaned up my brake calipers etc and whilst the wheels were out, I picked off the wheel bearing covers and repacked the bearings with outboard motor grease. I also made some (hopefully bomb proof) bar ends with - from the outsi…

It's been reported in Spanish Papers that the creditors of Gas Gas are on the warpath regarding the companyy's level of debt again. They have survived before but it will have to be seen how this works out. Especially as Ossa share the Production facility.

Does anyone have any news on the situation with Gas Gas? It all seems to have gone very quiet recently, even the updates from the factory seem to have dried up, all a bit worrying

so the latest rumour doing the rounds is the new owners of Gas Gas will be announced on the 16th of October, I hope this is the case and not just a silly rumour it would be great to see Gas Gas producing in my opinion the best trials bike on the market again,

hi all lets see your bikes i would put a pic up if i knew how to ben

Hi - hope you can help I have been reading around and is seems alot of people mention dexron 3 atf oil is the best.. do many of you guys/ girls use it ? what brand do you use ? I have been using putoline gp10 Cheers Chris

Hey guys, figured I would make a little progress/build thread so you can follow the build if you wish. The background of the bike - I got the bike when I was around 14-15 (I'm now 22) I used the bike for around a year religiously every Saturday down Corton Trials Centre. I can't remember why but after one Saturday I drained all fuel etc and put it away as I wasn't going to use it for a while.. 7ish years later I have just dug it back out! She hasn't held up to good, frames full of surface corrosion, lots of niggly problems I'm battling which I will list as I go along This was her.. Straight from the garden to my trailer. First time rolling in 7 years! Got her home …

Anyone with a recent (2012+) GG care to comment on their experiences with reliability (or lack thereof)? I'm coming off a Beta that I put a million hours on and, aside from things I broke, it never went wrong. I'm inclined to just get another Beta since I'd rather ride than wrench, but something new/different sounds fun.

See the Gas Gas 4 stroke on the motorshow in Milan. www.larstrialinfo.nl It became a realy nice bike, with nice colors and a low cilinder. Hopefully the bike is soon by the dealers...

Hi , Picked up my new Gas Gas Randonne'three weeks ago and rode it yesterday in the Bumpy Novice and Beginners trial . Apart from the header pipe being one of the ugliest on the market i.e. cat , mid box and leg guard , I love the little bike . The gearing needs altering and it feels as though it really needs to breath a lot better , any ideas on tuning anybody? Cheers Nick

Hello, Anyone got any idea where I can buy a seat and auxiliary fuel tank for a Gas Gas Pro? Or can I buy a proper long range fuel tank? Cheers, Tony

How much oil per 5 litres of petrol should I use? I'm all new to trials bikes but a friend recommend 3% oil to petrol. The bike was empty of fuel from being out on it yesterday so I filled it up with the 3% mix this morning but I soon found the bike very stuttery - e.g. in 1st gear on level ground with the clutch fully out the bike almost wanted to stall. The tip of the exhaust was also very oily. Is this a sign of too much oil? Would 2% be a better mix?

Okay, first thing is that I'm not new to 2 stroke motorcycles. I'm 59 years old and have been around 2 stroke dirt bikes since 1973 was my first mini bike. I've owned several bikes over the years. KX 250 CR 250 CR 500 YZ 250 and a Montesa 250 trials bike. So the bike was delivered 2 months ago and pushed into my garage. I haven't had a chance to ride it because of recovering from surgery. Finally the time comes to fire it up and take a first ride. Absolutely not! I can't get this bike to start no way no how. I tried for 2 days until I was too sore to continue. I changed the gas in the tank and drained the carburetor because I didn't know what they put in it for dealer pre…

***Update 4/7 ....shop determined that part of the kickstart spring (end that goes into the shaft) had broken off. Problem is I don't know where it's at. Bike is still running fine so I guess I'll continue to run it unless the sound gets worse. I assume a complete tear down would be necessary to find the piece now. Anyone have other ideas, I'm open to any suggestions. I've taken off the clutch basket, idler gear, replaced kickstart spring, etc and don't see any damage to gear teeth, etc. Very frustrating. ****** Hello all, I have a 2010 TXT Pro 250 with around 150 hours on it. It just developed a slight knocking sound and I'm afraid if I keep running it, major …

I’ve been lucky enough to be able to purchase a year old bike that is a 2020 model, previously I had a 2011 bike that was a 250 txt. I’m relatively new to trials but been around bikes some 40 years, so used to kicking over bigger cc bikes, I also own a 600 single British bike that needs a damn good committed kick. My friend has a 2015 280 txt that I can start ok 1st or 2nd kick, I guess you can tell where this is going, I’ve had the carb completely apart for a good clean checked the needle setting and jets, now all nice and clean and correct size and settings for a 300 Tried different plugs, alas it’s a proper b**ch to start, I’m 6ft tall so not short in the leg, I engage…

I recently picked up a used 2011 Raga 300 and am using it to build/clear mountain bike trails and I need to slow it down and smooth it out as much as I can. I've dropped the front tooth to a 10 and installed a slow throttle tube which helps but now I want to smooth it out and make it more "chugable" if that's a word. I'm thinking of adding a S3 flywheel weight as that is easy to get in the states. Is the S3 brand a good one or is there a better one? Also, I'm considering lowering the compression with a new insert. The current insert has a "30T" stamped by the spark plug. Does anyone know which head insert it has in it? If I do the new insert, what carb changes will…

I've stripped the wiring out of my 2001 TXT today, but I have a slight problem in that I now only have one wire to the thermostat that I presume switches the fan on! The blue wire is still there but the yellow wire ran into the loom to the handlebars! Where should I connect the other terminal of the thermostat? Should I just find a live feed? The machine starts and runs fine but it's just this one problem..... Any help greatly appreciated.

forgive once again my ignorance. getting ready to replace base gasket and need to detach radiator hose from cylinder. They are using some strange hose clamps. How do I loosen them, and can they be reused?
