Gas Gas

Hi New member here Just bought a 2000 280txt The front forks seem harsh to say the least especially on initial impact I have stripped them put in 300mm of new 5 wt without any improvement When apart 1 leg in particular seemed to have alot of stiction in the seal Any ideas what could be causing this? THANKS ANDY

I pick up a new 03 Pro tomorrow haveing px'd a road bike[long story] but the last time I road was nearly 4 yrs ago and can't believe how technology has changed.I need some really basic advice on pre-mix the dealer I'm useing stocks Motul and has two types on offer 600 & 800 is one or the other prefered and is 80:1 the best mix for running period.Also how many hours running time before I change the gearbox oil,400 cc seems to be the correct amount with 10/30w any comments?This stuff is probaly in the handbook but I'm buying in France and from experience things get lost in translation[like my mind, frequently]. Went to watch my first French trial down in the Pyrennes …

TXT280 2000 Is the front disc supposed to float? or are my mountings worn? Probably a daft question TA ANDY

I got my new gasser 04 300 in time for the weekends TC trial. It wa great and I love it already but I have a couple of questions. The bike is very difficult to start when warm or hot and not easy when cold. It seems to need priming and then a huge kick to get it started. It actually feels like it's not producing a spark unless the kicking revs are up fairly high. I'm sure I will get better at it but don't think I will ever be able to restart it in a section for instance. Has anyone else found this and sorted it? It ran fine all day on Sunday but ran with the fan on a lot and boiled over slightly at the end of the first lap. It this normal or what should I be looking for…

I have a 1996 Gas Gas 270cc and lately after evey ride the plug is fouling quite badly, a dry carbon sooty type of fouling and I dont know why. I am running a pre-mix of 80:1 and the fuel/air screw on the carb is 3 full turns out. Any one any ideas? I have attached a pic of what it looks like.

Is anyone out there riding an 04 GasGas? I'm looking at upgrading the 2001 TXT sometime soon and would like to hear what people have to say about it. I'm also thinking about changing over to the 04 Techno.

Has anyone with '04 Pro's messed with the programmable ignition? How do you go about changing it? What changes in performance do you see? Do you have the equipment required to change it yourself or do you have a dealer change it?

I'm in the market for a '04 Gas-Gas Pro and I am looking for some opinions from riders that have ridden both the 300 and the 280. I ride intermediate class at our club, I struggle with low traction sections so I'm wondering which would have a powerband more suited to low traction situations. But.... I also enjoy play/trail riding on my trials mount where a snappy, powerful engine is fun. I guess you can't have it all with one bike! Fire away with the opinions, just don't recommend another brand bike, I live in Gas-Gas country! Thanks

Posting this on behalf of my technologically-challenged neighbour: It's a 2002 250 Pro. While draining the crankcase after a very wet day's riding, a not insignificant amount of coolant was noticed in there. Obviously not good. Any idea what could be the cause? Is there a seal behind the impellor somewhere that might have failed? Many thanks for any and all suggestions!

We have an 03 model 250 Pro and if its ridden in a wet or muddy trial the airbox starts to fill up with muddy water. We have used duct tape and applied silicon to try to help but it doesn't keep much out. I know they are known for this but our older 02 Pro had a different and much better airbox. Does anyone know of any worthwhile mods or if the 04 Pro has a better airbox and if it can be fitted to the 03? Thanks, Eiger.

im gettin a gas gas bout 99 98 97 year ish any thing i should know about them? thanks rich

I've just broken the kickstart lever on my 2003 280 Pro and nearly fell off my chair when I was quoted over

Hi Dose any body know what the standard mixture screw settings are. Being a comnplete nonce i have fiddled with it without checking what the standard settings where. I have found out that it makes not a jot of differance to me as i cannot feel any differance anyway so would like to return it to standard and leave it there. Thank Glenn

Hi all went out last night for a ride and did this mother hill climb in 4th, (1st time succeeded) the bike chugged its way up and on the home trail she backfired and cut out I managed to kick her back into life while freewheeling and gave her some revs to clear her throat and off i went. While parked up outside the car having a cuppa one of the lads noticed pool of oil on the sumpguard under back brake pedal. Took the bike home, washed it this morning (too dark to do it last night) and inspected the area of the leak. I notice there was an open ended pipe behind the brake pedal and traced it back to the top of the gearbox just behind the carb to head joint thingy …

Does anyone know any worthwhile tips for changing the fork seals on a gas gas tx 270?

whilst out on the road with my mate on his 92 GT25 his bike started to backfire causing the exhaust to shoot out of the middle silencer bend the mount on the subframe and the exhaust cone to explode sending the pipe and packing with it. Its a B.V.M reproduction exhaust and not the original by the way. I just wondered what could have happened cos the bike wouldnt start afterwards and was flooded. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Could anyone tell me the correct mixture for a 1999 200 and 2003 125pro

i have an 02 pro and up untill now clutch has been fine. i've had the master cylinder seal mods carried out and clutch has worked fine. Now clutch is becoming heavy and feels stiff to pull lever in. Has started to drag now as well. Any ideas guys?

im writing the post on behalf of a mate he has a 92 gas gas and his spark is getting realy week the gap on the plug is beeing made so small so that it can get a spark and me and him think it needs a new coil can they be replaced and if so where do you get one from and roughfly how much money will it cost also is it easy to fit

My brother has just got a 2004, 280 Gas Gas, in which he loves but unfortunatly, when he puts his bike into neutral (bike still running) it make a really load nocking noise. But when he pulls his clutch in it stops!! Has anyone had this problem with a new Gas Gas or dose anyone know what it is? write bac! ASH!
