  4. Fuel Tank Tap Outlet Stripped - Any Fixes

    in Gas Gas

    Posted

    Thanks for all the replies/suggestions.

    After racking my brains and trying to figure out which are feasible the only solution to fix the problem without having to buy a new tank I think is to actually weld the nut to the male part of the tank (where the threads are stripped) leaving enough thread on the nut exposed so I can still screw/unscrew the actual fuel tap to allow me to seperate the tank from the bike if needed!

    Fingers crossed it will work!

  10. New Jitsie Rear Sprocket

    in Gas Gas

    Posted

    Went for the new style full Jitsie rear red sprocket with new red bolts.

    Now I've fitted it I'm not sure I like it............

    Not to mention I've already scratched it when the bike slipped of its stand and the footpeg dragged down it, was not best pleased!

  11. Too Many Bearings? All Balls Bearing Kit

    in Gas Gas

    Posted

    I did hear some good and bad reviews but my local bike shop said they are OK at a cost of £70 I should hope so and I defiantly dont want to be doing them again in the near future!

    What goods a spare when you cant just change one in the future! Shouldn't complain known my luck I'll bust one by putting them in!

  12. Rear Shock Swivel Bearing Replacement?

    in Gas Gas

    Thanks for all the responses,

    I've found a mate with a press who can do the dog bones, (hopefuly)

    The rear shock seems simple enough now I've had chance to investigate further just need to order new bearing. (Two variations)

    Will just have to give the housed bearings a whack with punch and hammer.

    Thanks for the reply.

    I've used the socket press method on the dogbone bearings but struggling with the bearings which are back to back within the swingarm itself, there is not enough purchase space to punch out and too muct resistance and lack of space to use the socket press method.

    Blow Torch option is next but never really like this method......

  15. Rear Shock Swivel Bearing Replacement?

    in Gas Gas

    I'm beginning to regret what I've started when decided to re-build my bike.

    In the process of replacing dog bone bearings and really struggling to remove the bearings from inside the actual swing arm, hammer and punch method!

    I've also noticed there is a lot of play in the swivel type bearing in the bottom of the rear shock but cant see how to remove it? Any advise appreciated.

    Thanks

  18. Radiator Screws And Tank Foam Protection

    in Gas Gas

    Posted

    Hi,

    Not a very exciting topic but in the process of re-building my GAGAS 300 TXT Raga 2011.

    Q1 I have had the fuel tank re-painted but cant remember if the tank had foam protection strips to the underside or were they fixed to the frame?

    Q2 When I've gone to re-fit the radiator I have the 3 rubber grommits to the radiator side in place but I'm left with 2 spare rubber grommits, do these double up on the radiator side or do they go behind the screw heads? (image as attached only shows a single grommit)

    Any advise would be appreciated.
