Hello The bike is used mainly in woodland so very few rocks around. You are right though the bash plate was difficult to remove and looks bent. I think we will bite the bullet and order a new one and use it as a pattern to straighten the old one, we will then have a spare. I think a press is a sound idea and much safer to use luckily we access to one so we will let you know how we get on. Thanks for the advice. Gary

Hi Jon Thank you very much for your advice. I was worried the frame would require replacement which on a 3 years old bike would seem harsh? I take your point about electrics as it seems as if mig is the suggested type of welding method. Thanks once again. Gary

Hello My son has a Gas Gas 125 TXT Pro(2007). We have just noticed that the bottom engine mounting frame bracket has cracked? Is this a common problem with Gas Gas? The bracket is quite thin gauge metal do you forsee any problems with welding it up? We are pretty devastated as the bike has only had light use and the problem seems pretty major. We have removed the bash plate and luckily the bracket is very accessible and looks easy to weld? Any advice would be welcome Cheers Gary
