Anyone tried the Jitsie Linkage protector for the Gas Gas ?

I have damaged the linkage on mine when I have caught it on rocks i have been trying to ride over and this in turn has damaged the seal allowing water to get into the bearings.

I'm just wondering if that linkage protector will provide sufficient protection to prevent me doing the same again if I replace the dogbones ?

cheers

A mate of mine bougt a cutting board at Asda and cut it to fit about a quid I think

You are the perfect test pilot! Tell us how it works!

Otherwise, you sould try one of them Orange bikes with the Sherco motor and never worry again!

..Or you could get one of those (whisper it ) MONTESA 4RT-style bash plates with the rear extension jutting out.

I'm full of good ideas for you to spend your money on.

Any links for this bashplate? I am one of them Honda owners... 

My friend and I both installed the Jitsie linkage protector on our 2014 GasGas. My linkage did have some slight scrapes before I installed it. 

 

As with any time you remove / loosen your GasGas aluminum skid plate, it will take some choice words and a friend to help you get the Jitsie plate installed.

 

Well worth the price for your GasGas 

 

 

If you have difficulties re-mounting the bash plate it is bend. Try to bend it back. The bashplate is a part of the strength of the frame.

 

I use some nylon blocks to possition the plate under a press. Then count the ammount of pulls on the lever of the press. The first part bending nothing happens, after a certain ammount of strech it will. Do mine every half year or so. Takes some time but its back in normal bend.
