I've been searching on sag settings in many threads and now I'm very confused. Many people are recommending this article by Jon: http://www.gasgas.com/Pages/Technical/trials-suspension-tips.html. The strange thing is that Jon says to adjust the race sag for the front forks to 1/6 of the total travel, but almost every thread in this forum says that 1/3 is the measure to go after. It's a big difference between 1/6 and 1/3, what value should I try to adjust the forks to? The total travel is 177 mm and the race sag is 43 mm with zero preload, somewhere between 1/6 and 1/3. Is that a good value, or should I adjust it? Another confusing thing is that my rear spring seems too …

Hi All, would appreciate some help. Sold my Gas Gas TXT Pro 03 250 last friday. Saturday the guy phones me and say the engine is dead. He sent me some pics of the cylinder head which has what looks like a melted hole in it, another pic of the piston which seems to have a piece of metal stuck to it and another pic of the cylinder inside which has a big gouge in it (I think from the metal that is stuck on the piston). The plastic water pump impeller thread is stripped. The old pump impeller had been replace a year before as the thread in that had stripped and coolant had entered the gearbox. The gearbox was flushed and refilled and the head was removed and the gasket seals…

ok, this may open up a can of worms or just show how ignorant i am to these bikes. awaiting the arrival of my bike but trying to get my act together so when it arrives i can get on it and ride. i was told to ONLY use 380cc atf-f. then someone said 600 and the spec book says 400. totally confused. also, i was told 94 octane gas is fine premixed 80:1 to 100:1 (depending what kind of riding i am doing). then i was told i have to use special 112 octane gas. Which is it? thank you in advance for helping me sort this out. want to do right to the bike and not F it up first day.

Hi all, new here. I have ridden trials on and off for 30 odd years. I am a a capable rider that rides clubman or 50/50. I have ridden my trusty 05 Scorpa SY250 since I got it new in 05 and I loved it. Recently I decided to treat myself to a new bike and I got an as new TXTR 250. I got it in a drier period a few weeks back (6) and instantly loved it. However, I have ridden it many times in trials and my results are disasterous to the point of being embarassing! I just spin it up and stop all the time. I have fitted a slow throttle which has helped but I am still crap on it. I am down to about 3pounds in the rear. I during the last lap at Stokenchurch on Sunday (mudd…

With the new ownership of Gas Gas all the Rising Sun Imports/ Jim Snell technical videos have been taken down from youtube. If you try to view them now you will receive a message that says the video is private. Did anyone happen to save the videos in a format they could email or put on a disc? I'm kicking myself for not saving some of the engine repair videos earlier. UPDATE : I was told there would be an international press release about all of this mostly likely next week. Let's see what they say! Cheers, Mark

I'm considering either a 2008 Gas Gas 250, or 280, or 300, or a (used, or do they make new ones?) "Raga" model. I weigh around 200 lbs. (91 kg), and am in the expert class (well I WAS, before I quit years ago....but hopefully after a few months I'll be back in form.) I've tried an older 250 and a 2007 280, but it's kind of hard to really TELL what I'd like better after just a short ride. I'm not concerned about the price differences. My question is: what factors/differences do YOU GUYS see between these 4 bikes for me!? Thanks. Quite a knowledgeable group of riders on this forum! FYI: "Search" didn't work for me.

Hi , Im a newbie to trials after coming from road and enduro riding and have bought a Gas Gas 300 raga 2007 which needed some work but is great,My problem is that the tyre looks ok (X11) but im getting no grip. At first I thought it was me as my mates on their Betas were going up everything and I was really struggling but then we changed bikes and the Betas had so much more grip and they struggled on mine. So is it just the tyre or suspension or is it a gas gas thing ,I do prefer the how the gasser handles and turns but Im getting a bit frustrated when I can't get up a bank on mine but can on my mates bikes , The only other point is that theirs are 250's but mine spins …
