I put 2.5wt in left leg and 5wt in right on a gas gas

I think he means SWM TL 125 not Honda did the SWMs come with a key ?

Sorry forgot to say 450 ml in the gearbox the sight glass is almost full with oil.

Agree 10t is a better way to go with larger rear sprocket for chain / sprocket wear. Im surprised 10/42 isn't low enough as I run 11/42. Putoline light gear oil or atf in the gearbox. Atf is very thin and makes the clutch more snappy but its personal preference. Radiator just fill with neat coolant and the excess will blow out.

Whatever our disagreements Dadoff you do submit the longest posts in the world. Ever.

I thought you meant it was a brand new bike. Some things to check, has the previous owner increased the spring pre load on the rear shock ? There should be some sag in the shock with the bike standing without you on it. Tyres do get harder over time I think so although the edge is ok maybe try a new one, if this is a 2013 model the tyre could be two years old now. Finally move the bars back just to try it. If they are too far forward so will you be

There you go fastbelly spend a bit if time with Steve and he can help you out. Great offer Steve

I think your trials convener has opened a bigger can of worms here. Why is that spectators view valid ? Did he watch anyone else, did he request any other scores be reviewed ? Has any other score been amended ?

Not being cheeky how much do you weigh ? Have you changed suspension at all ?

Cliff Collinson national trial results. Over a specially adapted course made entirely of inflated inner tubes and used loft insulation a number of Gas Gas riders managed to finish the event. Expert course 1 - 2 - 3 Just saying

Ring splatshop its the same system as sherco / beta

Or how about a trial without observers is actually a practice day

Colin Appleyard well known dealer started selling gas gas 2010 /11. Eddie Aitkin started selling gas gas last year. Al span sells gas gas. AG bikes still a Gas Gas dealer if you post those that stopped / ceased to trade then its reasonable to post the new ones.

Al lives in the north east centre as do I. 3 factory editions this summer my own 2014 280 racing plus another 3 at least out of a typical entry of 50 - 60 riders. Yes thats the end of the world right there.

The decision should be if the spectator is so knowledgeable they should be asked why they didn't observe then this situation wouldn't have arisen. And if they dont wish to observe then they should stop doing so.

I wouldn't spend too much yet you will take time to adjust to it. I had an 06 scorpa after riding gas gas and beta previously. The scorpa is a very different bike to ride. I found I had to try and weight the rear on the scorpa as compared to other brands its very heavy on the front and has a longer swinging arm. Id think you are probably too keen with the throttle. The gas gas will be much quicker off the mark and lighter on the front end. Think about your position on the bike when it spins, are you leaning forward to try and keep the front down ?

2013 and 2014 GG have Hidria ignition system fitted same system as fitted by Sherco and Beta. In a thread about post 2012 reliability this may be more relevant than a rather misguided analysis of various businesses and individuals.

Laughable bill & mick did trials as a side line it was a car repair garage. They could get you any bike you liked. I bought two yams off them. They retired when they felt like it , nothing to do with Gas Gas more to do with age. White Bros, and I know Derek, sold yamaha, beta, scorpa and sherco trials. They were also a Honda road bike dealer. How have you determined that the closure of the business is related to only Gas Gas ? is this the Nigel Birkett who is the uk importer for Ossa and Scorpa ? I wonder why he doesn't invest time in selling John Shirts bikes Al the spanner ill ask him what he thinks of your comment on Sunday shall I ? As a sole trader selling only Gas Gas he'll be absolutely delighted.

Some spares are difficult but lots of the engine parts are common with the watercooled engines up to the pro. Lots of GT/ JT / JTR / JTX stuff on ebay. You can fit modern wheels and brake calipers

Just checked its sold

Front pipe looks like a work of art

yes just enter gas gas and search under motorcycle category

Im rebuilding a 327 at the moment. There is a 250 on ebay at the moment

Where was the Beta ignition system made that kept failing on the rev 3 and early Evos ? You know the one that meant I rode round the 2003 SSDT with a complete stator plate and fitting kit suppled by Lampkins in my rucksack. 2010 SSDT Dougie breaks down Monday as ignition system fails. Same happened to him in the Scott and I think James Dabill won on Gas Gas Pro. Why Beta didnt fit a contact breaker system is beyond me. Sherco main bearings on early models where of such quality they would fail in weeks. So back to the same point all the bikes have issues. Most of this thread has been of little use to the person who originally asked the question.

Post number 1. Is it me or did the poster not actually ask for a review of a gas gas childs motorcycle ?
