I see what youre saying about me being in the either way zone, thats why I asked because I too feel I could go either way. My 2001 Sherco 2.9 is WAY under sprung for me, it bottoms out on everything. I like the way you talk about getting the energy you put in back, at the moment with my Sherco I feel like I am getting no energy back and it is difficult to hop. Of course it is an old bike and the Gas Gas is sure to be miles better but I definately like the thought of the bike becoming more lively with a stiffer spring.

Thats great news, and good luck with your new bike! I hope in a few weeks I will have mine!

Heya I'm hopefully going to be getting a new TXT 300 soon. I'm sure I will be too heavy for the standard springs as I weigh 90kg to 98kg (without gear) depending on the season and how much junk food I've been eating . Lewisport do a 10% and 20% stiffer than stock set of fork and shock springs. I'm thinking the 20% stiffer springs would be the right ones, whats your thoughts? (on the springs not my diet!)

Cool, thanks for the link!

Excellent news, let's hope we get some user pics soon, I'm tired of looking at the ones on the Gas Gas site

Heya as the topic says. Just wondering because our importer says we can expect them in 3 weeks, that was a week ago. Seems strange because I check up every day and cannot find any reports of anyone buying one of these bikes yet. It will probably take 4 weeks by sea then still sit with customs for a while, so that would mean the bikes would have to be on their way already...

In that case maybe I can grow to like it, just change my mindset. Besides it's impossible to avoid when 1/3 of the riders ride them.

Cool, thanks guys. Guess I'll just have to get over it then cos I like the bike.

I don't think for the type of riding I do I should be slowing the fan down. I guess I am just wondering if it is only me that notices it, I mean if it were an annoyance to everyone I would imagine they would have changed the design of the fan for 2010... Like the way Beta changed their troublesome stators... . Actually I rode an Evo as well, very nice looking bike but the motor was uninspiring.

Hi guys, I currently ride an 01 Sherco 2.9 but after riding an 09 TXT 300 I am looking to upgrade. The only thing that is bothering me is what appears to sound like a fan whine from all of the new gassers. I was at a trials event and I could hear the whine on all of the newer shaped gas gas bikes from easily 20m away. Am I just sensitive to that particular frequency, because my friend said he cannot hear it at all? I was playing back some footage we took and I could clearly hear it even over the poor camcorder speaker... I did a search but only really found people discussing faulty fans and these fans are not faulty as there were at least 8 new bikes all making the same noise. Are there any other fans that can easily be fitted if it were to drive me crazy?
