hi there. I have above bike and its really good, that might/does sound daft but after never considering a spanish steed 6 months ago i now have two!
I also have an 02 250 pro. i bought that having ridden a 125. love it.
Now the EC is superb. ive ridden a lot of bikes xr, cr, drz, ccm and ktm. i gotta say this bike has really put a smile on my face. it looks great. and the engine is so smooth, you wanna tootle about, it'll do it, you wanna open it up and it just motors along.( tails off earlier than true mx bike but bottom to mid makes up for it) suspension is first class too.
Im entered in the cotswold enduro club selattyn H an H this weekend. will let you know how it goes.
Oh and GasGas uk are really good. Anything ive needed has arrived next day. highly reccomended.
Also anybody near birmingham interested in doing H an H or trail riding, my green lane knowledge is lacking but i have good transport.
i cant ride trials that well but i have a great time, the plan is to get better.
ive ridden a friends 270 rev which is nice, but not perfect.
i would like my GG to be stable like the beta.
now my thinking is that my GG is unstable because the forks are too soft resulting in ever changing head angles/wheelbase
im 15 stone so probably out of the ideal suspension range so will stiffer springs help? i can change damping easily but i honestly think the front blows through its travel far too easily.
I have a 02 gasgas pro and can agree with the above, high maintenance. I love the way it feels so light though, a friend of mine has an 06 270 rev and it feels so much heavier when ridden. true it is very well planted but it doesn't feel as much fun!
AS so many have said before on these pages. try before you buy.
checked clutch. oil was low so the primarys were clacking about whilst having no load on em. more oil and rattle has all but dissapeared. well it does when i pull clutch in.
Happy now.
tbh my Honda sounds sweeter and is 15 years older!
went to see a very nice GG today but when started it rattled like my 996. Noise wasn't from the clutch and it did quieten down a bit when it was warm.
Is this normal?
dont think piston slap is an issue cause its not had much use and i spoke to shop that recently had it apart for top end freshen and they said its normal.
Attended trials school last Sat (13th Jan) In Glos
Well i'd like to say i was brilliant but i wasn't!
The old Tlm did her best but it was the ham fisted plonker riding her that caused things to go wrong! Despite this i got some excellent help from Steve and David. who make it look and sound easy. Best quote of the day goes to David though, something about my concentration when i was at school. thing is i cant remember,I wasn't paying enough attention
The group attending was pretty diverse. youngest being 8. riding a Beta 50 Auto. I never got his name but he was brave! Oh and his Dad let me ride his scorpa Oh and a nice young lady who seemed unfazed all day not to mention skilled.
It was good to see the day organised so well and it was great to see i wasn't the only one new to trials riding. Any sport needs new blood and what better way to improve it than to provide top level training for all levels of ability
I enjoyed the day and the venue had a lot to offer so i'll be booking myself in for the next one.
Thanks to Steve (Trials Ace) David (Horse whisperer) and Alex (Great rider with great attitude)
Gazza could i have a copy of the manuals. i will gladly pay for your trouble.
also could you give me the part numbers for the inlet manifold and coresponding gasket, mine is perished so i need a new one. I've bodged it in desperation as i'm doing a trial this saturday.

I want a raga.
it wont make me any better than i could be on my std pro but who cares..
It does make good business sense, if the model is exclusive then demand will be high increasing re-sale value. that
