  1. What's Going On With Gas Gas

    in Gas Gas

    Posted

    Does this mean I might be able to upgrade from a 2003 to something much newer at a much lower price than a week ago???????

    ?????

    Zippy,old chap, you have a GasGas to sell so you're trapped in the relative value matrix :stupid: .

     

    I know that Andy,the site owner has a main consideration for the Uk importer ( site sponsor).

    He has slapped down an embargo on the discussion of the GasGas financial autopsy :shutup:  but I do feel complete sympathy for the thousands (?) of end-product ( no pun intended) Gasees who have lost money on their steeds :suicide: .

    Future unsurety is bad for the value of any financial product. 

     

    Best of luck to those who are holding onto their Gassers and hoping that the Phoenix will rise ( I just hope it's not like Brian Potter's Pheonix :( )

    I know exactly where all the money has gone and why and more than likely where some of it still exists today.Ive only found this out because I've made it my business to look into it . It's taken me months and months to discover it all.In doing so have come to realise that it is not information that anyone wants public let alone just for a little Sunday afternoon enjoyment.

    Sorry Ham.... You'll have to go on blaming it on some old problem engine story

     

    ...Are you now at liberty to divulge where the debts were acccumulated?

    Keep it simple, I'm a Geordie remember?

  5. Where Do You Clean Your Bike

    in General Trials Talk

    Plus one here for your gravel drive...a great security feature when combined with a pooch as they can hear the gravel crunching well before anyone uninvited gets to your property.

    I built a large drain (easy to clear) and grille cover in my back garden for privacy, not so expensive when you total up a years worth of jet wash tokens.

  6. Kick Back - Is It Just A Sherco Thing?

    in Sherco

    Posted

    I have replaced the stator on my 2005 290 but I wasn't aware of it kicking back either before or after the change out. The reason I changed the  bad stator was because the timing failed to advance correctly as the revs increased, oddly though; I couldn't alter the timing, regardless of where I set the back-plate?

  12. 2009 290 Sherco Gear Oil

    in Sherco

    Posted

    ATF is mighty fine,it makes the clutch action a little sharp-ish but some people prefer that.  I've used it in all my Shercos for many years, without fault.

    I mix my 2-stroke oil at 65cc per 5Litres of petrol, again for many years without any concerns. :icon_salut:

    Ok just couldn't get to grips with the Porsche. Weird shifter setup. I kept blowing shifts and turning the wipers and turn signals on......

    You 'Murcans; if its not three on the tree or four on the floor, then you're completely lost :hyper:

    I know someone....who has one of the last 997 GT3RS models from a couple of years ago and has been offered mad money for it :dunce:, I mean mental money, it's tripled in value so it's currently worth more than the sticker price of the other road-rockets you're going to be sampling.

    Enjoy!

    I've disconnected my home alarm system and un-registered from Neighbourhood Watch. I've got two Pakistani flags raised in the front yard, one at each corner, and the black flag of ISIS in the centre. The local police, MI5, MI6, and Secret Service are watching my house 24/7. For FREE. I've never felt safer, and I am saving £49.95 a month

  21. Gas Gas To Honda?

    in General Trials Talk

    Posted

    Update!

    Rode a 2014 standard yesterday for a few hours, completely different but great fun.

    Was enjoying it so much I didn't realise how little fuel I had until it was to late! Two mile walk on a very rough track to get back to the van

    Made the call! Picking up a 2015 factory replica next Saturday!!! Can't wait, first time I've been excited about a new bike in a long while

    Pardon my ignorance but which manufacturer have you committed to?

    GasGas is broken

    10930185_906623622716083_803474169704880

    Now I've seen a few earlier model gasssers photographed in a similar state of distress but not one of the newer frames like this one?

    As for the Scorpa? Twas it not the ali steering stem that broke rather than the frame itself? The reason I ask is:-

    Here's a conversation, I was party to, between a Scorpa dealer and a disgruntled SY owner;

    Owner. Hello, the steering stem's snapped on my new SY, it's only ali' can I have a new one?

    Dealer. No, they never break, you must have abused it, I don't get any call for them that's why I don't keep 'em !

    Owner. Really?OK I'm an engineer for (K*M*TS* censored :shutup: ) so I'll get a steel one CNC-ed at work.

    Dealer. Oh, right...Is there any chance you can make me a few, I'll pay you...........

    :stupid::dunce:

    Sorry, I'm wandering off topic again :beer:

  25. 315R Help

    Posted

    I had 99 and 02 315's the 99 had 10/40 sprockets and the 02 had 10/42, think rear size was changed with 01 model, same time as red tank appeared.

    Yep, from what I recall the 01 upwards had a larger rear sprocket. My 98 defo had a 40 rear.
