  1. The TXT torque looks like a dyno line from a forced induction motor.
  2. If it's a domino throttle then yes. Open the plastic housing via the hex bolts. Hook the ball into the throttle cam and reassemble. Don't overtighten, just snug.
  3. If it starts and idles fine, the stator and gap are likely ok. "Carb checked and clean" is where I'd back track. Have you confirmed the correct jet size, needle position? Off idle your looking at the air screw and needle clip position.
  4. Unless you put red plastics on that bike it's a 2020. 2021 came with white plastics and red accents.
  5. 2021 is a good bike. I like mine a lot and I feel like any extra money spent on a "better" model would have been a waste. The 300 motor is strong, very strong. I can see why most riders would prefer a 250 but for trails the 300 does a good job. 2021 is last year of the ohlins suspension for the txt in US. UK still gets the reiger shock. 2023 models have the tech shock. I'm not a fan of the frame change and the use of the aluminum supports on the new ktm/gasgas version. I'm sure from an engineering stand point it's better but the solid tubular frame on the older models just looks sleeker. The pegs are not gusseted as much on the newer ktm models either and they stepped away from the S3 pegs which are great pegs imo. KTM is def doing good for gasgas and their SX/Enduro bikes but the buyout only lowered the quality of the trials bikes. My .2c
  6. GasGas owners have to start their bikes for other riders lol, it's a lifestyle. You have to catch the motor on the compression stroke with the kick start high in the rotation. A nice solid downward kick and crack the throttle 1/8. Try to be consistent with your kicks when you reset. Don't hammer on it.
  7. I do mainly single track on my txt, actually all I do is single track on my bike lol. MSR fuel bottles or w/e brand fuel botte you want. I prefer the taller bottles vs the wide as they fit better in packs. On my 300 a single fuel bottle will give me approx 1-1.5hrs of riding. Acerbis tank would be my last choice. It puts weight high up on the steering and pushes the COG toward the front of the bike. I'm also not a fan of auxiliary fuel lines. Armadillo bags look good, if giant loop has a sale on black friday this year, I'm going to grab one of the 1gal bags to try. The best part is spending 2 hours in the garage trying to figure out how to carry / strap it down. HAHA GL
  8. Still here, just crossed the 1yr mark with this tractor.
  9. 10-4, thank you gentleman. I'll pick up an extra housing for a spare.
  10. The plastic housing on the domino throttle assembly on my txt feels really cheap. I'd like to replace it with a aluminum/metal option if available?
  11. 10-4, thanks Jonny. I have to say that my GasGas has been a great bike so far. You can imagine what it's like coming from an MX bike to a trials bike. Lots of shifting, dramatically different power curve. To top it off it's all single track so the bike never gets a break. It's taken a few decent spills and keeps going. As far as budget goes I feel like I got a lot for my money with the GG for their TXT model. I'm not going to list everything but comparing it to the entry level beta the gasser simply offers more. I think most complaints probably come from the chads who can't start a gasser. lol
  12. Am I missing something? Can anyone elaborate on this....
  13. The fuel petcock is different on aluminum tanks so if you go that route you'll need the petcock too.
  14. Similar to OP I'm new to trials bikes but have been riding for 29yrs. I purchased my TXT 300 for the purpose of trail riding because I already have a "big bike". Some things I've learned. Taller bars help for trail rides. They bring the bars up so you're not leaning into them as much. Since the pegs on a trials bike are further back you tend to lean into the handlebars more. This creates the "hunch" in your back. Keeping your knees bent and chin up go a long way in keeping good posture throughout your ride. Either way it's a killer core workout. Longest ride for me so far was 2.8hrs A well supported pack is a must, 2 strap backpacks flop around and you're going to be moving your body a lot more on a trials bike. Carry a fuel bottle on long rides Gearing is very close ratio until you hit OD. 300's have massive torque/pull, a 250 is likely the optimal bike for most.
  15. First, I apologize if this has been answered. I'm trying to track down a over the counter API GL-4 gear oil for my 21' TXT300. My options are pretty limited to auto parts stores as I've already been to the local dealership. With KTM overseeing the production of GasGas, they only list the motorex brand gear oil in the manual. Nothing against motorex but between the cost of the oil, taxes, shipping, It's almost $40 for a quart of oil. Would this work? It's rated API GL-4 & GL-5 so it meets the criteria. https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/max-gear/oil--chemicals---fluids/maintenance-chemicals/lubricants/gear-oil---additives/75w-90/1e1e9866791f/royal-purple-max-synthetic-gear-oil-75w-90-1-quart/ryp5/7590/v/a/137956/automotive-van-2016-toyota-sienna?pos=2 Thanks in advance.
