2022 Gas Gas Clutch
I have also been struggling with a 2022 clutch after seven years on a 2015!! I've now tried all three settings with four oils to no avail. Clutch is perfect for first 20 mins then becomes more aggressive. I'm now going to try atf this week. Still unsure what crosses on plates are for.

Run away drop off
Also try with you throttle hand further back before you start then you cant rev as much. Clutch should also be in after back wheel has gone over ledge. Then its gentle brakes to control.

How to date a Gas Gas?
I find the best way to date a gasgas is to buy it some flowers and a bottle of oil. Then just ask it out. Simple and ever fails !!

Brake Caliper Lubrication
Thanks all. now ordered the RRG

Brake Caliper Lubrication
A general question really for many bike variants. Sometimes the pots in the caliper don't move outwards at the same rate. Obviously its either muck or dry seals etc that's causing friction.I can work them free using little clamps on opposing pots but once done what oil if any would you try to use on the seal area?

Premix Oil
I use Castrol A747 at 100 to 1. 50ml in 5 ltres of fuel in the Gas Gas. Been doing this for 5 years and no top end issues. It also smells fantastic

GasGas common problems?
If it's carbon airbox you shouldn't have the usual water mud issues. Linkage needs maintenance but most bikes do. Kickstart is prone to shedding teeth if not used properly. Kehien carb needs a fiddle to get it how you like it but apart from those easy fixes can't think of anything else.

Thanks all esp trialman. Does it go in backwards or forewards

Berlingo WAV suitable transport
Tempted to get one of the wheelchair adapted vehicles for trials transport. They're probably better looked after than vans.Does anyone use one. This may be more practical for me than a van. All comments welcome. Picture would be great.

Id say get some trials boots to aid leg and foot movement. That could help you lots.

Suspension Sag
I suppose the final comment by Section Swept could almost be done by pumping the tyres up rock hard to do test?

txt pro 280 clutch vibrations
iT'LL BE INCONSITENT PLATE THICKNESSES. IF YOUVE PUT IT BACK TOGETHER NOT EXAC TLY AS BEFORE THIS CAN HAPPEN. TWO OPTIONS STRIP IT AND RE ALIGN(DIFFICULT) OR LIVE WITH IT FOR A WEEK OR TWO, HAMMER THE CLUTCH AND IT SHOULD REBED AND START FEELING BETTER. Caps lock was on . Not retyping !!!

Sharpening footpegs?
I never file. I use a punch on the top of each tooth. This roughs it up without removing any metal. I do this on titanium pegs so will be even better on alloy ones.

TXT 280 2012 crank seal
I had the same symptoms and had only just changed the packing. Smoke smells different and engine runs erratically. Mine is the seal on clutch side and could be both. I'd say if it smokes but runs ok it'll be oil in the exhaust.

Won't idle and revs hanging
I,d strip the carb fist and blow all jets through. Most likely water droplet somewhere. If it was fine before it'll be something simple. If its a keihin carb set air screw to 1.5 turns out and go from there

Hi looking for a little help setting gas gas chain
When you're riding it probably wont touch so should be ok. Try and reduce the amount of pushing you do !!! ie keep your feet on the pegs
