March 29, 201511 yr Afternoon can anyone shed any light on the model My friends got one for sale just wondering if there's Any common faults with them etc Been offered a clean one 850 Are they factory tuned?? Any help be appreciated What's difference with the 03 250 and this except 30cc more Thanks
March 29, 201511 yr the factory bike has a few "trick" bits on them like the ohlins shock and keihin carb. they ride nicer than the standard ones providing they are set up ok. go for it so long as it is clean. make sure the engine is nice and quiet and he has changed the oil regularly. look through the sight glass . if it is white the seals have gone and would need the water pump renewing. there will be a rattle when the clutch is out at idle. it will go when clutch pulled in. check bearings and genral wear items. i believe that year had a weak gearbox. although if its been going fine for the last couple of years the dodgy bits have probably been changed.
March 29, 201511 yr The raga editions have (more) magnesium parts. Not necessarily better but not a problem per say either. For the rest better suspension and other trick parts Here more info http://www.gasgas.com/Pages/2003%27s/pro-03/300-pro/300-raga-replica.html Edited March 29, 201511 yr by crazybond700
March 29, 201511 yr £850 is not a bad price, If bike seems o.k. It's worth a gamble as you could make most of the money back in parts if all goes wrong.
March 30, 201511 yr The `03 Raga was actually based on the `04 model. In `o4 most of the problems were fixed. The bike was and is lighter than most modern bikes today. The down side it is too powerful for the average rider, but quite fun! Good luck!
