Hello all, figured I would introduce myself a little. First trails is new to me as a hobbie ... I used to ride.motocross and have riden lots of different bikes etc. About 4 days ago I was offered a gas gas txt200 for pretty much free. Its missing a rad cap and a manifold witch I am struggleing to find. I have spent all day today putting all.the pipes back on the bike and basically building.it back together, I have completed building.the bike pretty much, I have tried starting the bike bit if im.right in thinking it wont start because it hasn't got a manifold ?? Apart from.that theres fuel and spark and air so shoukd start.lol ... look forward to hereing from you all

Regards

Mike

Missing a manifold, which one are you missing, between the carb and crankcase or the exhaust?

For spares give GGUK a call.

Hi thanks for your reply, the exhaust manifold, I have the backbox/silencer just not the start lol from the engine to the back box... would this stop the engine from starting because theres no back pressure ??

"manifold" header pipe

yes you do need the header pipe as back pressure is critical on a 2 smoker.

Nice one buddie, ill find one and get it put on. Didnt relise its called a header pipe lol

That's fine !

You may as well get one of theese as the stock pipe is probably the same price maybe more.

You will get more power and tourque as well from the titanium pipes like that one.

S3 also make one look on trials enduro direct.

They look awesome as well but make sure you get a guard for it as they dent easily

Hi, my bike is a 2000. He breaks all sorts from evo to pretty new I think he can get most parts his business is breaking bikes and selling parts/bikes for people who havnt got a brand new bike lol. I was in contact with gas gas uk but when I said my bike was a 2000 they didnt want to no so I found this chap he is a very handy bloke who will try and get most parts for most bikes lol and not at a rediculas price lol wouod you like his number ??

Well, just got the bike started .. yep went for a ride at 10:10pm full carb stripped and cleaned, new header pipe and gasket .. head re-sealed and it starts ok doesnt ride 100% as of yet but I recon thats carb tweeking whoop well excited !!!!
