oring help There is no jam nut. a circlip only. so rtv would not work and bushing on 01 200 is different than others. it is much lighter. and o ring runs inside of bushing not under. i will figure this out. thanks for input asshat

Zman thanks........ OK. This could be issue. I am using 2003 parts manual. Its closest to the 01.Shows only one number for o ring Which is same as 250 and 300. 2004 parts manual shows 2 different numbers. The one you gave me,(st950207) and me250112011. I have the ME o ring which must be...

Zman thanks........ Zman. Thank you. I did see that pic in manual. Honestly I am not sure what I see. That appears to show a shouldered bushing inside of crank bearing? Isn't reference to the newer 2 style bearing?still confused? And feeling stupid. O ring sent to us was me250112011.

Hi all. Me and a buddy are into a complete rebuild of a 01 ec 200. The crank main drive gear is put on with a cir-clip, and there is a bushing which the seal rides on to create seal. on all gasgas i am familiar with (have 2 an 02 xc 250 and txt 280) and according to the only manual...

Mike. Thanks for the input. Do you,have you owned, or have you ridden this bike? My conundrum (sp) ? Is that if its the same frame,suspension,plastics,and ergos, how much could it feel different than my 250? If they are the same other than engine,can't be much difference can it? I have...

Hey been awhile since i have been on. I currently own a 02 de 250 which is where i learned to respect the gaggas marque. Not much info anywhere on the ec 125. I have a chance to get a 04 ec 125 which looks to be clean but needs top end and 1 st gear. Don't mind the project, even though its...

anybody point me to a fische on this thing. Got a all balls kit 99-02. and i want to make sure it correctly assembled (not sure if it was ever done and by whom.) any help thanks

So any of you guys riding trials tires in the new hampshire/maine areas. how does it work overall in the conditions WE ride in? Typical, root, off camber, deep mud wet rock etc etc? And so what are you using in the front, a trials tire or not or split or it does not matter? And as for...

explained If any of you guys are wondering. I am sure most of you guys knew this because gasgas uses michelin oem but indeed not all michelin uses the same measurements (huh?) this is a quote from the michelin site "Due to differences in measurement methods, some Michelin off-road tires are...

Hey thanks for that. Been looking at the motorcycle superstore for tires and never even noticed the size reference vs michelin (probably because I was not looking at Michelins). Not sure why some michelin tires refer to this sizing charts and some don't? does this mean some tires are...

Hey been awhile since I have posted. anyhow, have an 02 xc 250 with what I am going to assume are stock tires (michelin 120 90 18) and i am looking at replacing the rear with a dunlop geomax 51. my question is i have read that michelins are much narrower than some other tires and that I...

PEB clean out your folder. Trying to pm you. Will the ohlins fit a 02 xc 250? What weight rider are they valved for?

I received my new kick start gear and ratchet today from Hall's. I really like those guys. Asked the parts guy what I needed, he was not sure so he put a tech on who has the same bike as mine. He says it's really not that common ( he's done a couple on 07's) except on later models because of...

Yep, Do a search and read them. It is by far not uncommon. Keep the bolt snug on the shaft. Mine fell out, could be what started the failure, but I really don't see how. The lever is external. The ratchet is internal. I am asshat

That's the detent for a fully closed (folded) kick start lever. Look in the splined base which you ordered (female) which fits on the kick lever shaft (which is also splined,but male) there is the hole where the actual kick start lever fits. This in the same plane as the little indent in the...
