Right then what a pain in the ass job that was , got the hoses on and they are slightly thicker than the originals! so the clips were realy tight but managed to re use all of the six clips .But when i tested the bike one of the clips by the water pump broke , the hardest to fit of course .So i think its best to fit all new clips ! The hose kit was GMX from Gasgas .They look the dogs, and are worth all the aggro

Hi there got to replace the hose under the tank on my 06 250 pro as its showing signs of wear , got some new red ones but cant see how to remove the clips . Is there a special tool for this ? any help would be much appreciated . cheers martin

Thanks for your advice i will pop in to talon and get a 9 tooth and see how it goes. Do i need to increase the no of teeth on the rear or decrease to calm further ?

Hi there just got a 06 pro 250 and its runing 10 tooth front and 42 rear , I am a novice rider and am not sure if it would calm it a bit if i changed to 11 front, most sections i do in 1st /2nd i have fitted a slow action throttle . I would be glad of any help you may have . many thanks martin

Talon in yeovil somerset are good

Hi there can any body help me locate a fuel cap for my 1999 txt 270 [alloy tank] as i lost mine at the weekend phoned GG today and they dont have the same one , just one that will fit and i would like to keep the bike as original as possible. many thanks for any help .cheers

Hi there just noticed some up and down movement on the swinging arm on my txt 270 1999 , problem seems to be with the bottem bush of the sachs shock so i striped it all out and removed the two o rings but dont know how to remove the metal bushes ? . Can any one out there help me ? many thanks . martin

Thanks for your help , i have a slow action throttle and that does make some difference .Ihave just had a top end re build and cylinder replate, now having trouble keeping the front end on the deck ,spoke to GG uk today and they suggested 10t/42t gearing as i am runing 11/41 at the moment do you think this would help? Iam a novice rider i know that most people think this bike is not suitable for novices but i love the bike and think the txt is just about bomb proof .It just seems to have way more power now .cheers martin

Hi out there does any one know if you can get a head spacer and flywheel weight for a 1999 txt270 ? any help would be very welcome

Try e bay item 180143653510 :

Just got some Jitse gear from TRIALS UK . Its realy well made and excellent quality , and wont break the bank :

Many thanks for the info i will look at that, cheers

Not sure about the dextron, but I believe it should be about 300cc for forks drained and refilled. I think that there is a small drain screw at the bottom of the fork that you remove. Its helpful to remove the top cap on the fork leg (looks like you should remove yours and clean them anyways). I find it drains better with the caps off of the leg. Also I think 5 wt for leg oil is recommended. The clickers are quite simple. There should be a set screw (hex) on the side of the cap with a spring and ball bearing inside to set the clicks. Your are probably set too deep or dirty adn ceased. Just take out the screw, clean the bearing and reset so that it clicks freely. Thats my two cents. Thanks foer that will check that out ,

Hi all ihave a 270txt 1999 and am not sure if i can use 700ml dextron 3 to try to reduce clutch drag . Also does anyone know how to drain and refill forks ,how much oil and what grade , There are 2 click stop ajusters on the top of the legs the l/h one is siezed solid not sure what they do, forks still work ok and dont clunck at the bottem , many thanks to any one that can help.

Hi there had the same problem on my 307 i replaced the cups as they had some wear. When the brake was locked you felt movement like the head bearings were going , it stoped when i changed the cups 6 i think without looking.Hope this helps

Won't be a rebore... it will be a recoating of the bore. It has a nicosil coating and the best place to get it done is here in weston Super Mare. Langcourt enginering. Take the bare barrel and your new piston and they will coat the bore to the correct spec. Will cost over a hundred quid though..... Thats great thanks for the info .

H i there does any one know a good place to got a re bore done on my txt250 i live in the south west nr Taunton , but dont mind sending by courier . A n erlier post suggested "Jetbore" nr wolverhampton but i dont have a phone number for them. thanks for your help on this . martin.
