Bike has been great and only one part took a bit to get. And I think that was just because nobody else had broken that one.
I understood parts were worse after thenGasGas deal. But seems getting better.
I certainly hope they keep going- they are great bikes. Mine Is very well built- fit and finish is excellent and everything (except fuel cap) is top notch.
I have 142 hours on it- still runs great (see my posts).
Much nicer for long trail rides. I did install a longer throttle cable, but I'm also using Twisted Engineering flex bars. Barnett should have the number.
It would be nice if the factory could get him more bikes. From what I understand almost all are pre-ordered or sold quite rapidly.
I rode a TR300 that had the factory upgrades. Definately snappier power (even on the 'soft' power setting) over my 280 Explorer and the TR280 I've ridden. I liked the suspension also (rather short ride).
I've changed my Explorer to an Ohlins from the TR- too much money but much improved. I would have liked to order it with the full TR suspension- but was in too big of a hurry. I think it should be a standard option.
Ok, I broke one of the 'Dogbones' in my rear linkage.
It is the new type with a bolt.
After a lot of thinking, it probably was my fault. I think when I lubed it last time there was still silicone grease in the threads. So the locktite couldn't hold- the bolt backed out and must have jammed against the swingarm, breaking the shaft. The too much for one side still left when I hopped over something.
Anyway, the dealer ordered the part, but OSSA sent the wrong one! There appears to be a mixup with the part numbers in the manual.
So...does anyone know where one may be?
They are going to try and get one, but I'm looking also.
