Yeah that's right, quite a loose fit for trials pants. Loads of room in the knees.

Cheers

Only had my bike a week but I'm wanting to drop the gear oil and was wondering what is the amount of gear oil in the TR280i and is it ok to use ATFQ or is there a recommended oil? Bike is 2011. Cheers

Hi guys as title says really, looking to buy a 2011 280i and was wondering if there's anything I need to look out for specifically other than the normal stuff. Really need the help as I'm tossed up between the Ossa and a late gold frame Raga, so peoples opinions on that too would be welcome. Cheers in advance fella's.

What's the point in getting a 290 and taming it down, just buy a 250. Simples

No one likes a show off.

Im from Bishop Auckland mate, there's a few places round here to ride. You'd probably be ok with that cabby mate, just be aware theyre snappy bottom end and you need to be on the ball with your clutch control. Your best bet is just to go through and have a go of it.

He had a few in last time I was through. Not a massive set up but a canny bloke. Sorry mate I thought you were wanting this as your first bike.

That's in Eddies at Sedgefield ain't it? Nice, but I'd say a bit of a handful for a first bike mate.

Cheers guy's, Dave thats spot on, thanks mate

Hi guys, I've just sold my Rev 3 and I'm in the market for a 04/05/06 TXT Pro 280 or 300. Is there anything in particular I'll need to look out for in these models and also how do you tell they're the actual year there advertised. As i know people do try to pass they're bikes off as a year or two younger than they actually are. Thanks in advance

Why thank you kind sir

I was there when that happened, it was 40 Regt Royal Artillery at Az Zubyr Port on Op Telic 2. Top class.

Excellent, thanks for the quick reply's fellas. I must admit I was under the impression it was 05 but wasn't 100%.

Hi guys, Just a real quick one, in what year did gas gas first start producing Raga reps? Cheers in advance.

Brilliant Tim, your a star

Hi guy's, As per title, how do you do that standing 180 turn flip thing? I've been trying for a week or so now and just cant do it, not sure weather its my balance or my technique. So can someone give me a step by step guide how to do it please. Cheers

Hi, When I got it all taken off it was missing the 10mm BB. Thankfully an easy fix

Ah right thanks, mine doesn't just rattle around it actually flops out as if your going to kick it over. Does the BB just float free inside the kick start then? ie, to give the kick start some resistance and stop the freedom of movement.

Wow, thanks for all the help!

Hi, Have a Rev 3 2001, the kick start is loose and just flops around. Is there a spring missing? As I removed the kick start lever using the smaller bolt and there seemed to no mechanics to keep the lever in place when not in operation. I'm new to beta coming from sherco, so any advice is appreciated.

Yeah mate the cap should fit level to the tank, my mate's old 03 used to do the same thing with the fuel leaking and the cap not fitting properly. Turned out to be the rubber valve/seal inside the cap wasnt allowing the cap to seat properly on the threads on the tank and had slipped down a bit onto the treads on the cap. Worth a look if nowt else mate.

Does that apply to the older type exhaust too, 99-09?

When I got the casing off it was like splatshop says, just absolutely full of mud and crap. Luckily enough when i got the shaft out it hadn't scored, but there was play in the bearing so changed that too. Fingers crossed that'll be it, and thanks for all the help guys.

Thanks Neo, That's answered that one then.
