  1. I have used a paperclip with a hook to clean out all the crap from the caliper where the seal goes in.

    I bought a brand new master cylinder as the old one was in bad shape.

    When I bought the bike the seals has to be blown out with an airline and 2 mechanics they were so badly corroded in.

    I have called loads of Gas gas parts shops and nobody has the parts or a new complete caliper.

    People mentioned getting an AJP caliper but would this a) fit onto the brake line and B) onto the swingarm?

    If so which year would fit?

    Cheers

  2. Hi all,

    I have been trying to get a rear brake piston and seal kit for the HEBO caliper off my 2000 Gas Gas TXT 200. I have been waiting 8 weeks for Gas Gas UK to send the parts and they keep telling me they cant control when Gas Gas Spain sends the parts! I have been waiting months to ride and its annoying the hell out of me!

    I cleaned the pistons and polished them and tried cleaning the seals and caliper so they are perfect but the pistons still stick on the damaged old seals.

    Any ideas as to a possioble solution rather than wait longer?

    Would a different caliper fit? HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!

    Cheers

  3. the rubber bung was confusing me but obviously it was for the bleed nipple.... fitted the new master cylinder but when filling up the reservoir the oil just wont bl;eed through... may have to bleed from the bottom up with a syringe. gutted as i planned to ride boxing day :(

  4. bought the bike and has needed a lot of work.... the resevoir had a hole so replaced that....bought a motion pro bleed tool which has a 1 way check valve, used a friends suction tool, had a look at the master cylinder and was all rusted and gunky..... decided to bite the bullet and buy the cylinder :( would have tried using a syringe but couldnt find a place in time as i want to ride over xmas..... have to say tho.... trials bikes are a pain to work on compared to my honda crf 450 motocrosser!!! still.... we can but try!

  5. I recently bought a gas gas 200 year 2000 model and took the rear wheel bearings out as they were seized solid to the wheel spacers.

    When i put the identical new beasrings back into the hub there was no space for the seals. I cant remember if i took seals off or not when i removed the wheel but dont think i did. There are seals that comne with the bearings but they are far to big. The front wheel doesnt have seals either....

    This is my first trials bike so sorry for the newbie questions!!

    cheers

  6. After racing moto-x all my life i have just bought a cheap trials bike - Gas Gas 200 TXT. I think it is a 2000 model.

    Also what oil-fuel ratio should I use?

    How much oil should go in the forks as the seals have gone.

    Also what speask plug should it run?

    Sorry for all the questions but I havent ridden it yet and wanted to enter an event this weeekend!

    Could you pleasse tell me where to get a workshop manual downloadasble if poss) ?

    Cheers!
