Gas Gas

What do people think abount waterproof socks, eg sealskinz, my new boots lasted about 2 months before water started to pour in. I still use hot wax on the leather but my socks still leak, whats the answer for dryer feet!!!!

My friend is about to place a new cylinder on his 97 321 gasgas, we are both a little nervous about the amount of thickness of the base gasket. There is techniques buy using soder to determine this, any tips on this subject would be appreciated. sam

i've been using "elf htx 740" but at

my 02 280 pro has a 10t & 42t. what sizes sprockets is everyone else using? does anyone know which sizes came as standard on new bikes?

I have a gasgas 280 - 03 and i have some problems to get a good idling... when the bike is chocked the idling is fine when i put the chocke down it sounds very strange like uneven idling.... i have tested to turn the large screw on the side of the carbourator....is that screw both for idling and petrol-air mixture??? Does that screw have any standard setting ?? When the chocke is down i think the throttle is to sensitive....it goes up in rpm when i bearly thouch the trottle???

I'm about to change my transmission oil....in the service manual it says: The oil level must be between the minimum and maximum indicators??? I can't see any indicators in the window??? I't also says that the system holds 550cc of oil.....should i just drain the oil and fill up 550cc of new oil ?

hallo !! I have just purchased a gasgas 280 -03....and i have som questions 1.How often do you clean the airfilter ? 2.Is it importand that the bike is idling when you change gear??....can something break if you have a lot of rpm and you changing gear??? 3.How often do you change the gear oil ?? I have a 10/40 transmission oil at home....it will do the job...right ? 4. How often do you guys lubricate the bearings in the swingarm ? Best regards Christian (Sweden)

Whats the diffrence between a txt and a pro ??

I

When a change gear from 3 to 4th it makes a clonk sound....its that normal ??

I have now run in my bike and still find it running a little hot. The fan is on most of the time. Is this normal? I remember soemone Perce possibly telling me to change the jets from stock to something else but can remember the numbers. Can anyone help? The bike is also very sharp which I thought I'd get used to and would soften with time but now I want to soften it myself. How do you retard the ignition on these bikes and are fly wheel weights available and worth adding?

My clutch is dragging on my 01 280 to the state that I can't find neutral at all before a section. Pretty easy when the bike isn't running, but a little embarrassing. I've seen the comments on the US Gas Gas site about measuring the clutch plates and that they expand. The problem I have is I don't know where to start. Give me a Haynes manual and I'll work it out (or hit it with a bigger hammer!) How easy is it to open the cases, check the the clutch plates and replace them or do I need to take it into a dealer. All the best, Rob.

I have an 02 Pro 280 that is set up wonderfully.. Everything is perfect EXCEPT the clutch has become very hard to pull at the lever... it operates well, it just fatigues the hand. Knowing how the clutch operates, I have my ideas about why it has become hard to pull. Does anybody else that has knowledge of this clutch have some thoughts? A hint about what I think is going wrong: The "spring" (which is actually a "ring") is the culprit. What do YOU think? I'll be calling the "parts house" first thing tomorrow and ordering the necessary items.. a ring at the least, an entire clutch pack at the most.. . thanks, W

Thought y'all might like to have this. BP5ES is down in the 7000 range (see numbers on far left). http://www.gofastzone.com/techtips/sparkplugs/sparkplugs.htm Sparkplug cross reference

I finally removed the muffler bracket on a GG, annealed it to be safe, and bent it to a nice "s" shaped offset, and the tire no longer hits the muffler. For the time being... Replaced the rubbed-off rivets, too. 5/32", I think.

i need a new rear plastic/mudguard for my 2000 gasser ive looked about but i cant find any shops that sells them anyone know any shops that do? Nick

Hi all, I noticed:- -

i have a 1993 gas gas 250 contact rubio sig model. as my first trials bike , now i need to know a few stupet questions? does it run on unleaded or leaded? and how big is the tank? and can you buy workshop manuels for these bikes and where from? also it has rubio's signature on the side, is it a rubio signature model? thanks colly

I have a chance to buy one in the crate at a good price. What is the general feeling of this bike?

I know where there is an mint 01 GG TXT 200 for sale, I've got some reservations about the build quality and how strong the motor's are. Some of my mates tell me to leave the year 02 range alone but previous years and 03> are the safe bet......is this right?? thanks in advance
