Hey there,

Ive got a 2009 gasser 125 that's 6 months old! Snapped my swinging arm yesterday dropping into a small dip!!!

No rocks, no real stress, just snapped on the right near the brake master cylinder and on the left at the spindle hold.

Unbelievable that it would snap doing something so small and insignificant as that, obviously was very weak and that was the last straw so to speak .

Thanks

Rob

The new gassers may have a few problems (I'm gonna hold onto my 07 280 pro after all the problems with the new bikes) but here in South Africa they are standouts of excellence by comparison to the Evo's. We just completed a national event and the evo owners are hopping mad, rear hubs breaking, swing arms breaking, a few frames broken, a couple of siezures and best of all intermittant electrical faults. It seems that the boundary of weight vs reliability has been crossed by all the bikes. I am really going to wait a while before I buy a new bike again, the pendulum swings and seems too far to the one side at present.

Being the lightest available full-sized trials bike probably means that it isn't the strongest full-sized trials bike and maybe the suspension bottomed out more heavily that it was designed for?

What planet are you on?????
