Gas Gas

O.K. I've had the 250 Pro 03 a week now found muscles I forgot I had,done my own PDI checked everything,changed the oil,am useing Motul 10/30 400cc.The question is any advice on correct carb set up,I'm running as delivered it seems to run clean but can be difficult to start when hot.Also cured the bad design kickstart fault when the kick jams into the footrest,with a cable tie in the footrest and one on the kick[bodge it n' leg it]why does a state of the art bike get sold with this problem? Paul

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 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 …

Hello everyone, Just got a txt280 2000 but I havn't got a manual or handbook with it. Been searching round but can't find anyone or anywhere to get one. Hoping someone here can help. Ive asked gas gas uk but they say there isnt one as such but will photo copy some sheets for me for a small fee but this isn't what I want(I dont think) Thanks in advance,

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

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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 …

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?

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!

Has anyone had any problem with frozen caliper mounting bolts on the rear of a 99 TXT 200? Any ideas on how to free them up?

Hi all recently got my bike back from the bike shop after a bit of work was done including the steering bearings replaced. Anyway been out two weekends and there now seems to be a bit of movement there when I pull the front brake. Its not the floating discs moving its definetely the bearings loose or maybe just bedded in. Anyone know how a total repair noob like me could tighten them up? Regards superfly

Is the transmission fluid supposed to be in the middle of the sight glass on an 02 Pro? I know GG calls for 350cc in the 02 and 400cc in an 04. I'm not sure if 350cc would bring it in the middle of the sight window or not I just got the bike an I can see fluid if I tip the bike toward the throttle side. I don't want to use it till I've checked everything over. I guess I could just drain and refill with 350cc's.
