September 16, 201114 yr Just swopped from a Beta Rev 3 250 to the Gas Gas as above. I'm in my 2nd year in Trials, so ordered up a slow throttle tube, and another member's sold me a flywheel weight for a good price, so it should calm it down to my needs initially. Anything else I need to adjust for best running, or things to look out for on this bike in general to keep it reliable folks?

September 16, 201114 yr Hi Paul, by the way you've been riding this year I doubt you need to tame the 250 down? You'll soon 'gel' with the gasser the same way you did with the Beta. Stick to a good maintenance routine and all should be good, removing the flywheel cover after a wet trial to dry everything off is always a good idea? Drop me a PM regarding practice this Sunday or the team trial at Monzie and you can ask as many questions as you like! GJ
September 16, 201114 yr Take the flywheel wieght off, it really spoils a 250. Edited September 16, 201114 yr by jordi
