nigel dabster Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) Mine are fine, do you have a problem or is it hearsay, are all 750 affected? Edited July 22, 2013 by nigel dabster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toofasttim Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) Ben, be careful when throwing around aspersions like that. Trials in a small market and you can cost the importers a whole heap of money and find yourself in big trouble. I appreciate you mean well but, unless you are absolutely 100% sure of your facts, it is best to keep them to yourself and not spread them around the internet. As an aside, your posts are a pleasure to read considering your age. You have restored my faith in the education system Edited July 22, 2013 by toofasttim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sting32 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Would be nice to know what was the actual problem, I see you could fail to align the oil galley to holes, or was it bad MFG parts or bad something else... I mean obviously gasgas doesn't make the bearings, they buy them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean obviously gasgas doesn't make the bearings, they buy them... Even if GasGas does Spec the bearings does not mean a batch may not have been made a little off spec and not noticed before shipping to GasGas. Hell, for an example (and frustration) just look at the auto industry and the numerous bad parts they receive/sell straight from new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shercoben12 Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Sorry GGUK! I didnt mean to cause this... That was just what a frie d told me and he knows alot about the trials scene. Line away - the rebuild went smooth nice and cheep also! Was just a collapsed bearing.... Hardest part was getting the swing arm spindle out!
