Yep...the one from the 2002 pro I had three in one year and two clutches. ALL new bikes have teething problems in the first years.

Have you tried adjusting the spring preload ? I know it looks like the spring isn't adjustable but it is. If you look at the lower part of the shock you will see that there are grooves and the spring seat has a wire C clip under it. After compressing the spring you can move the C clip up to the next groove.So adjusting the preload. It's quit a few years sins my boy was on the Gas Gas 50 boy. but I remember it as a great little bike.

I got a very good one from TFH gazebos the year before last,we use it for signing on and as a camping kitchen/gathering point.It has stood up very well in all sorts of weather and has been carted all round Europe on some of our longer camping trips. As fare as I can remember it was about £190.00/£200.00 with free delivery.

My son and I both used Jitsie Bolt T1 kit for the last 18 months.Very good kit,still looks like new even my son's white kit still looks bright and comes up clean.

Knowing Jack Sheppard well, I know he has it in him to mix it up at the top. This young men has the talent and determination to succeed.All he needs is time on his new bike, something he has sadly been unable to get over the winter. As we say down here"GO JACK GO"

I see it listed as Saturday 5th May at 09.30 am. On motors TV UK.

Last time the trial was at this venue there was a mini bus running up and down the hill for the older or less Spritely of us.

You don't say how long ago the oil was last changed.But It's Probably only clutch friction material if it's dark gray. If it's sparkly metal look deeper. My son's 80 always had a sticky clutch until I followed the advice in the clutch fix post at the top of this forum.After it was lick a totally different bike!

Hi bondy Try Bultaco uk.co.uk thay are very helpful and with one of there manuals you could make up your own wiring loom. Only three or four wires in total.

choice is king, Let one be banned and before you know it our sport will be banned! All the bleeding hart tree huggers need is an excuse.

My lad started off on the Gas Gas 50 boy age five. although at first sight the rear shock looks like it's not adjustable you can set the spring preload. If you look at the lower part of the shock you will see some grooves in to which a wire C clip slips, the lower spring plate then sits on this.Make shore this is set on the bottom groove. What I did to lower the bike even further was put two jubilee clips on the shock spring,one each side over two of the coils and pinched them down a bit. Dropping the forks through the yokes is a bit hard as they soon hit the underside of the handlebars. But you can drop the front by removing two plastic spring spacers from the top of the forks. Just prize off the rubber caps, press the ally slug down with a socket extension and release the C clip.Under the alloy slugs there are the spacers.Each about two inches long make of black plastic tube. As my lad got a bit taller I cut one of the spacers in half and popped one half in each side. I hope this helps you and you have many years of fun with your lad on what is a great little bike P.S If your cooling fan packs up DON'T get one from Gas Gas.£70.00+ go to any computer outlet and get the same fan for under £10.00.

I fitted a set of these to my son's EVO the other week. In red they look fab and he tells me they are more comfortable on the sole's than the standard steel pegs.

At 9 years old he would be better off on an 80cc bike. I would recommend the BETA.My son had one and in all the years he road it it was never any trouble.Always started first time and ran as sweet as a nut. He is now on the BETA EVO 125. Check out the classified's there is a good 05 for sale in Lowestoft !
