Thanks, i ended up comverting to Lipo instead, should have done it long time ago

Hi, im just wondering if its just as easy as using 2 x12v batteries and run the bike or is there any kind of low voltage protection circuit preventing this? If so, what do i need to do to fix this?

Now it's fixed, the guy who did it used tig to patch things up, looked alright to me and I'm happy to have a working bike again.

Thanks for the feedback, I have found a guy that is a licensed welder after talking to my local bikeshop. He will weld it next week, can't wait to get it back so I can ride again?

I was going to change the airbox on my bike today since it ws damaged, and when i cleaned some hard to reach places on the frame while having the airbox detached i found two really big cracks under the rubber protector on the upper rearshock mount, see picture. I had to zoom in to make the cracks visible since the frame is black, but it is identical on both sides of the shockmount, and the picture is tilted 90 degrees, but i hope you can make out the location anyway, i can always upload another picture if not. Obviously i need to fix this, but what mehod of welding would you guys recommend, and what material is the frame made of? Is it chromoly? Should i try to reinforce it or just weld the cracks together after stripping the paint and cleaning them up?

Thanks, I talked to a GasGas reseller here in Sweden and he told me that rear mudguards from -02 to -11 fits the 2008 model, after this the airbox and frame was changed (maybe this information can be useful for some of you).

Yes i have but, last i checked they were out of stock, and in one shop it cost a bit over 100£ and in the other about 34£, and it seems that the 2008 version is extra expensive for some reason, thats why i asked if someone knows if other will fit.

Does anyone know if newer Mudguards fits à 2008? Or a place where i can buy black ones?

Does anyone know if these sticker kits will fit on an 2008 txtpro 280? I have only seen them applied to newer bikes. Edit: Found a site were it says that they fit 2008, sorry

When i bought my bike it had a real bad clutch drag and i tested different oils and checked the clutch pack size etc, (there are a good thread about it here on the forum) all was up to spec, next i ordered a repairkit for the mastercylinder replaced it and refilled the system from the bottom up getting rid of all air and it works perfect.

I had some real issues with clutchdrag with my bike (280 pro -2008) and after i tested ATF and changed the master cylinder at the same time and the drag was gone (just testing it on my backyard) , but when i tested it in rinding conditions the clutch was just like on/off, no feeling at all, so im going back to test some other oil and see if i get a better feel in the clutch.

If anyone has the same problem i can tell you what fixed my clutch, ordered a master cylinder rebuild kit and fitted it the other day, bleeded the system and filled with fresh oil and all problems are gone. The clutch is now working just as i want it to, thanks to everyone that has been giving me help, hopefully this thread might be of use to someone else with simular problems. If anything i have atleast learned alot about my bike

Still not happy with my clutch but have not been riding much lately, decided to remove the clutchpack and check again today, noticed that all fingers are not equally high, see picture. The complete clutchpack height is 9,75-9,8mm, the bottom fiberplat is 2.2, the other two are 1,8mm, the steelplates are 2mm each. However if i place the steelplates on a glass surface i can see that they are a little bit warped, not much but still enough to be seen. Could this cause the problems im having? Also there was some strange wear/burn mark at some parts on the outer side of the steelplates.

I know that i probably always will have some drag, but if i keep the clutchlever pulled to the handlebar the bike slowly putters away by itself, i have tried 2 other gasgas bikes and they are nothing like mine. The way it works now does make me uncomfortable when riding

Hi, im still having some problems with my clutch dragging and im planning to rebuild the mastercylinder and change the seals in the slavecylinder to see if that helps or if nothing else to eliminate one problemsource. I have a 2008 280txt pro and just want to check if these are the correct parts for the job: http://www.splatshop.co.uk/gasgas-pro-clutch-slave-cylinder-seal-mineral-oil.html http://www.splatshop.co.uk/ajp-master-cylinder-seal-kit-mineral-oil.html Something else i might need/find useful, please let me know.
