Separate and clean all the electrical connector plugs before you go any further

The time limit started off ok,but ended up with sections too long for the time limit.The top riders in each class at theBTC were fine,the lesser ones ended up timing out too often.If this method was re introduced with a sensible section length for the time limit it would be a lot better than the present farce

Engage 6th gear,pull the clutch in and pull the bike backwards,you should feel it free

Standard spring is too soft,SXS do stiffer ones,check out their website

I'd like to ride it before I handed over any money,too much of a risk at £1000 ,which sounds too much even if it's alright.Doesnt take long for the bills to add up

Hoping not to insult you,but will you be better off with a 300?If you genuinely can ,buy the one in the best condition,there's not much between them mechanically

What are you cleaning the filter with?Is it splitting at the joints?Try using Notoil filter oil,it washes out with washing powder,great product,nothing gets through the filter either

240 fantic,with some good rear shocks.The top tube used to bend,so making the head angle slacker and making the steering poor and reducing the ground clearance.I took the engine out of mine and straightened the top tube with a jack resting on 4x2 timber across the bottom tubes .Fond memories,it took me from novice to expert very soon after buying it,back when trials only had one route.In my opinion it was miles better than the competition till the monoshock yam came out

Check that it sparks,if it does clean the carb as already suggested,drain the tank and refill with fresh .Clutch is probably stuck,free it by pulling clutch in,engage top gear and pull it backwards,you should feel it free.Brakes might be sticking but no big deal

The Factory Rep is a brilliant bike,the suspension is a lot better than what you had before.Definetly fit a slow action throttle and run it on the cloudy ignition map.10t front sprocket makes too much difference I feel,11/44 is better.Its not the best bike to learn on,I've just bought one and it takes some getting used to,it'll do anything if you're good enough.I recommend a lanyard kill switch too for when it does get away from you

The bike is great to ride,very light,grips well and is well made,just needs far better marketing.Dont think the latest colour scheme helps,nor the lack of supported riders.Haven Trialsport,the importer is very helpful.enthusiastic and knowledgeable and holds spares at a reasonable price.Needs the factory to promote it better

Is it revving really high when it misfires?If so I think its hitting the rev limiter.Do you know of another one you can compare it with?4t motocross bikes have a limiter,I think yours has too

I'm thinking of a TRS as my next bike,wondering about spares availability and cost,any typical problems I should be aware of?Do they pull 4th in the mud,some 5 speed bikes 4th is too high.Is the Raga worth the extra?Thanks in advance guys

If it's new,take it back to the supplier.

Wouldn't want to go much more than £2000,it's 6 years old after all

Kev at GasGas U.K. Is the man to sort this.I wonder if it's an iffy main bearing as you say it's starting to vibrate.Tha supplying dealer is legally responsible to fix this,your contract is with him.I suggest your dealer sends it back and claims the cost back from the importer

Will it pull 4th?can you get a bit of run up before the begins cards,momentum really helps when it's slippy.New rear tyre at 3.5 psi makes a big difference

Definitely take it back,it's not the obvious things.I wonder if you made an appointment whether they'd fix it while you wait if possible

Sounds like the factory can't keep up with demand..If it's the bike you really want wait for it,don't buy something else just because it's available

£4000 buys a lot of bike,and is a lot to spend on something that feels great in the dealers car park but might not suit you at an event.Its worth asking people at your local events for a go on their bikes,you may find a bike you hadn't considered suits you best,If you could raise £500 more the TRS are now available second hand,a lot of people rate them very highly.All modern bikes are superb,make sure you choose the best for you,which will most likely be a 250 .300s are too much for most unless you're good enough to win group trials or harder

A good machine shop can repair it.I fixed one by machining a new post,milling away the remainder of the old one and securing it by a countersunk Allen bolt from the back of the basket.It lasted the 2 years I had the bike and was fine when I sold it

Easier than you think.Needs a new gear change shaft,about £32 from Haven Trialsport.Take clutch casing off,clutch comes off complete,held by one Allen bolt onto the shaft.Selector mechanism is held by 2x8mm head bolts in the bottom of the casing.The change shaft knocks through to the clutch side,it's quite tight in the bearings.The new shaft pushes into the back of the selector drum.Theres a later shaft available which fits but it's £120. Pm me if you like

This has been asked before,brake works fine without it,took mine off a year ago

All modern bikes are good and will out perform any clubman anywhere,buy the one that suits you best

He is Gasgas no1 rider,they justifiably want him to have his best chance at world level so he needs as much time as possible on WTC type terrain,also acclimatising to the higher temperatures found at most WTC events.SSDT is a very different thing,he can come back to it if he wants when his WTC career ends
