going up some steep rock infested hill and you stall it, it's all you can do just to hold the bike up let alone kick start it, it's so good to hit that magic button and continue on your way

they have an adjustable power valve too, it's quite easy to get at, I suppose I could crank that down to it's mildest position, and also set the mapping switch to turtle !

thanks guys for your advice, I've been trail riding for many years now and had many bikes of all sizes 2t and 4t, I'm mid fifties now, my last bike was a 2011 gasgas ec 300 which I loved, my son has now inherited that, I'm a fairly slow rider , I thought of installing a fly wheel weight on the...

looking at anew ec 200 anyone had any experience with these?

I own a freeride 250r, I felt like just one of the sheep riding one of these orange bikes but at the time it was the only one of its kind which was more enduro orientated , its engine is based on the exc 250 enduro, and at my age I'm not as fit and strong as I once was, down here in Aus it's...

I have a ec300 and love it but I'm 54 years old now and don't have the need for the power band hit, but I like the torque of a 300 and the beta xtrainer has low seat height, only weighs 98 kgs ! the ktm freeride 250r 92 kgs, the cami 117 kgs , the pampera 120 kgs, come on gas gas you know you...

will gas gas please build a bike like Beta xtrainer !

VICTORY !!! side case finally came off, I lay the bike on it's side, there are 3 holes on the side case which have thread, I put the screws back in those tied some rope around them made a loop got a shovel to use as a lever, put a lot of upward pressure on it, almost lifting the bike off the...

Hi, when you say some heat, I have a small blow torch is that what you mean ? sounds a bit extreme, will it damaged the coating on the case ?

Hi again, well I've given it 2 more attempts about 20 mins each time, in the end I was hitting it so hard I thought I would crack it so I"ve all but given up, I purchased the bike when it only had 1500 k's so I don't think it's ever been apart, why couldn't they just have some sought simple...

Hi, is there a trick to get the right side case off so I can adjust my power valve, I've taken every bolt off around the outside as well as the clutch cover and water pump cover and impeller, have been gently tapping case with rubber hammer but the bloody thing won't budge, rock solid, thanks

hi back again, I was talking to the local bike shop about this and he said he had a honda in the shop a while ago that did the same thing, and another customer saw them trying to start it hard and fast with no success, and told them to try kicking slowly, bizarre !! but then it started , they...

I bought the bike 2nd hand about 9 months ago, its done this since I've had it, even with the old jets, it's ok when hot, you say to adjust the slide , I'm no mechanic so how do you do this, I know how to adjust needle clip position, I looked all over the carb and couldn't see any numbers,I sa...

Hi, I'm not sure what the jets are at the moment , we were having problems with the bike running to rich so we contacted a gasgas dealer in sydney who has done a lot of research and testing on this model and they sent me some new jets and needle which we installed and the bike is running a lot...

Hi, I have a 2011 ec300 which is really hard to start with the kick start when cold, I can kick hard and fast 20 times and it won't fire, but when I give the electric start a push she starts after about three or four attempts, then I turn it off and try the kick start again and nothing ! touch...
