ridelimousin Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Just bought one of these, a year 2000 280TXT. Never owned a trials or a 2 stroke bike so got many questions! Anyone have a downloadable manual for one? What oil for the petrol do I use and what mix? whats the maintenance routine? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ridelimousin Posted August 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Thanks but I checked this link already and there is no manual available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thats_a_five Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 The 2000 GasGas is part of the "Edition" design, rather than the "Pro" design. I have never found any written service manual for the "Edition." Jim Snell the US Importer has made many excellent videos showing and explaining how to do many repairs. Search on Youtube for "GasGas" or "GasGas Repair." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thats_a_five Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 That is a "Edition" model. It is essentially the same generation of bike as all GasGas trials from 1994 to 2001. The "TXT Pro" was a major redesign that came out in 2002. Based on the graphics on the bike, it is the 2000 year with the 280 CC motor. The "Edition" bikes were pretty well sorted by 2000 and were very reliable and solid if maintained properly. They are heavier than the "TXT Pro" models but are an excellent bike to learn trials riding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 The `EDITION` was a continuation of the standard 2001 GASSER for 2002 and 2003 after the PRO model came out. Had nothing to do with 1994 to 2000models. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridelimousin Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Hi there, do you know where I can get a manual for this bike or for a very similar bike? I have tried the links above but still no joy! It is a TXT year 2000 280 as you spotted, thanks. That is a "Edition" model. It is essentially the same generation of bike as all GasGas trials from 1994 to 2001. The "TXT Pro" was a major redesign that came out in 2002. Based on the graphics on the bike, it is the 2000 year with the 280 CC motor. The "Edition" bikes were pretty well sorted by 2000 and were very reliable and solid if maintained properly.

lineaway Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 There was no manual, but everything is on this site. Oil, forks, complete video of bike overhaul. More than a manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no "service" manuals available for the GasGas that I am aware of (only parts and basic owner's manuals) but Jim's site will cover most questions you will have.
