No no I was just wondering why I can't throw my gasser round like raga does with his haha

Thanks for the advice gents !! I will try lubeing first .. Any recommendation of good linkage lube ???? Thanks

As ever thanks Jon

Is there a video anywhere online that anyone is aware of for a walk through talk through for linkage removal and replacements. Got a bit of up and down play (about half inch) when bike is on sump stand . Thanks

Thanks for going to the trouble of getting the video ... Really helpful . Chris

Well I may as well bang some seals in if I'm taking them off ! .. On top of fork where the adjusters are do they need removing before you crack top nut off !! Thanks

Sorry . I mean do fork legs have to be removed to refill with oil ... I've seen some dirt bikes were the top nut is simply removed and oil poured in the top with forks still attached to bike .. Thanks

Idles the fork leg have to bee moved to refill oil .. I've seen some dirt bikes where they simply remove the nut at top of leg and pour in with folks still in yolks and attached to bike ?? Thanks

Hey all !! So please has anyone got any tips on rear suspension maintainance .. I was thinking my rear may need a nitrogen recharge , but it's still bouncy and it's a costly job . 110 quid for new seals and oil and recharge .. How often do they need recharging and what can I do maintainance wise .. Thanks

Obviously check which fluid sherco recommends for your model

It was my post about the txt pal ,, yeah if your sherco clutch is hydraulic it will have a reservoir at the lever end .. Usually two screws on top to open up reservoir and this is where your brake fluid goes . Then you simply bleed through once replenished. If your fluid is dark it needs changing ..

Thanks for help guys new clutch kit ordered 62 quid .. Thanks

It's got dex 3 in box now brand new ... Looks like new plates then .. Is that all that needs changing to renew clutch ... The plates I mean

And it's doesn't feel like drag its like it's not fully engaged ?? Or is this what drag is ?? Thanks

It's defo dot 4 ... Will stripping clutch and cleaning plates help .. I'm at nearly a grand I've spent restoring this gasser and would prefer not to be buying new plates ?? Thanks

Have you checked the condition of pads .. If good maybe clean down both sides with some light sand paper and try again

Firstly thanks for all your help and support getting this bike up and going . I've got a 2002 txt pro 280 . When engine is cold the clutch is virtually useless, however it does improve when oil temp rises . But still I believe it could be better . Is this normal ... New dot 4 oil and been bleed several times . Thanks guys

Let's us know how you get on ... I've just had to drain my gas gas tank due to excessive some and oil splutter but it was too much 2 stroke and was not intermittent ...

Firstly I would drain the excess oil , see what's happening then,

Hey all pretty much sorted with this txt pro 280 2002 ! Running sweet , just one thing though when ever I am going up and over obstacles even small logs the bike is cutting out .. I'm a pretty new rider but it bugging me . Up and over a log then cuts out on landing it ... Any ideas

Anyone know how much lighter in kilograms a new gas gas is in comparison to my txt pro 280 02 model . Thanks

I dnt get it .. The bikes a filthy beast and like being treated accordion ha ha

Hey all . Got a gas gas txt pro 280 2002 . Owned it for two months and ran it on normal super unleaded with a 60:1 ratio of some pretty cheat carlube 2 stroke ... Ran good first time kicker just a little smokey . But I put that down to 60:1 of cruddy 2 stroke. So when I finished my 5 litres I switched to high octane unleaded with the best castrol 2 stroke money can buy . Had a trial ran good , then next time came to use it it wouldn't start . Spark good but plug mega wet. Any way flushed tank and switched back to super unleaded mixed with the castrol 2 stroke and it kicked first time .... Does carb need adjusting for high octane fuel .. I might also mention I installed dual stage boyesen reeds when I switched fuels . Thanks in advance

Been tinkering and am new to trials maintaine... Which of the two videos is correct .... Thanks

I put 7 weight in my gas gas . 5 w soft and bouncy 7 w slightly firmer and 10w firmer again . Personal choice . However you like it . Just either thicker or thinner
