jse Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Is there anything about a 2002 model that a guy has to look out for when buying a used one? What years had quirky problems? There were two distinct models available in 02'. Are you looking at a TXT "Edition" model with the older type engine or the newer "Pro" model (actually the "TXXI" model)?

Jon I'm looking at the TXT but would like info on all in case I find something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dschigoda Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I've ridden my '02 TXT Edition for several years (I bought it used). I've not had any issues with it. I've replaced tires, changed the fluids, cleaned the air filter, and that's about it. Oh, and I put in the jetting that is recommended on the GG USA site, which worked well. The Edition model was refined over several years (the development ceased in 2001). So really all the known bugs were worked out of it. The PRO model was the next generation for GG.

jse Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I'm looking at the TXT but would like info on all in case I find something else. "Info on all" is like asking for all information on Fords or Chevys, but I understand your concerns. The 02' TXT is pretty bulletproof and like dschigoda mentioned, it was at the summit of it's development. Good solid bike and no unusual problems I'm aware of. Of course, the condition of the specific bike will be important, so if you can, take someone along that is familiar with Trials bikes and will know what observable details reveal possible care/abuse. When you see a bike you're interested in, post it and there are a lot of riders who can give you their opinions and this can help you in your decision. Welcome to the club! Cheers.
