May 2, 200620 yr ive just aquired what i think is a contact, red in colour upside down folks it says gasgas 160 on the tank.Anyone any idea what year.The bike has no spark ive checked and ruled out the obvious,is there any common electrical fault with these (engine no d10229)not sure of cc either thanxs in advance
May 2, 200620 yr It sounds like a 1992 ('92 has blue cases) or 1993 (gold cases)contact. They are known for having ignition problems. I actually have an ign. module for one, which did not fix mine, but the most common problem is a bad stator coil. A certain motorcycle dealer in washington state (Skagit Powersports) has a guy there Gary L. who can rewind them. I am assuming you have ruled out a bad kill button or connections.
May 2, 200620 yr Author its got blue casings,ive removed kill switch and checked all other wires,i thought it would be the stator.is there any checks you can do on them or is it just a case of replace and try.does anyone rewind them in the uk? thanxs
May 2, 200620 yr hi, At the moment i am rebuilding this bike, A 1992 250cc , called a GT25 Im rebuilding mine because it had a poor spark and always broke done, good reason The stator coils are a common problem and i've had mine rewound, there are a few places you can go, i went to a guy outside stocksbridge, took a couple of weeks and was only
May 2, 200620 yr Does anyone have a pic of the engine? I ask, because i dont know what colour to paint mine when its done, Its a 1992 GT25 (250) So what ? blue; casings, red; barrel, head, ignition cover Clutch surround in silver?? I just cant decide, ive been on the gasgasmuseum website, but that wasnt much help, lol....
May 2, 200620 yr Found this one of jim snail, Thought it may help you identify your bike, dont recon much to the suit tho This is a 1992 Contact GT25, Its a 1992, because it doesnt have a chrome frame, and the carb intake goes into the barrel and not the crankcase, unlike the 1993 which does have these things, The gasgas museum is usually a good place to look for a pic and ID your bike, try there GG museum Right... back to the revision.... sigh..
