February 13, 20233 yr Hi, I have just bought a 2005 Gas Gas TXT 250 pro, returning to trials after many years off. I'm not sure if this is a fault or an adjustment but I can left the rear end over an inch (25-30mm ish) before the rear shock engages and starts to extend. The adjustment on the shock is wound down so there is only about 50mm left. The swinging arm doesn't seem to have any play. What should I be looking for. All previous bikes have been twin shock.
February 15, 20233 yr Its possible the dog bone bearings are knackered. Put the bike on a stand on the sump with the wheel off the ground and see if the free play is still there
February 17, 20233 yr Author Hi Faussy, all seems tight, no play or movement. I'll see if I can adjust the shock
