Gasgas 300 - Can You Get The Barrel Sleeved Down To A 250Cc?

[shercoben12]

hi , need to be on a 250 for my age and im on a 2012 300 right now . changing the whole barrel seems a really expensive way to go about it. not gonna sell the bike for another as this one is aswesome. can you get it sleeved down to a 250? is it possible? anyone know anyone who can do it? any other things i could do?!

Contact Kevin by email at GasGas u.k and he will give you a possitive yes or no . He will answer your querie and probably give you the reason why if you can't .

Alternativly ,you can go on the GasGas uk web site,go to Tech/Spares,look through the on line expandable workshop manual and start by looking at the part numbers for the connecting rod.Compare the 300 & 250 numbers.If they're different id say the rod is longer. So it may not be just down to the bore.

ok will do ted , nah i no for a fact that its just a straight swap of piston/clips/rings barrel etc , crank is same

A sleeve is not available. I think a sticker kit would be the way to go!

which class requires a 250cc?

[splatshop]

We have a freshly replated 250cc GasGas barrel in stock http://www.splatshop.co.uk/used-gasgas-pro-cylinder-250cc.html you also need the piston and cylinder head (or just the 250 insert if you have a later bike).

As Nigel says why do you need a 250cc, the ACU limit is 125cc for A and B class on a modern bike.

It is not only the ACU that run trials !!!

AMCA also run trials! and the limit for 12-15 year olds is 250cc

Details can be found on the website

How can he ride as an adult for acu at 14 years old, and who cops the bill when he falls off and injures himself when hes not insured

Presumably, his parent / gardian signs the entry form give permission and accepting responsibility ?

Hmmm late to this party but.... I put an S3 low compression head on my 300 Beta to make it less of an animal. Much cheaper option then a full cylinderectomy.

It's a good mod. Keeps the grunt while removing the brutal hit on top. Well reducing it at least.

also a bit late, what happened to the Jotagas Ben?

had so many problems with it , final straw was the top end needed to be replaced on it ( 5 months old ) hardly used like new! was going to do it but the parts took too long ( like months ) and parts supply was shocking... bought A 2012 racing gasser and cracked the frame ... ooooppss. now on a 14 racing. had no problems so far. its in another league riding wise compared to other bikes out there
