How much effort does it take to get a 200 running well. I am interested in the bike but hear lots of reports of weak low end. Is it just a matter of having head work done and rejetting or would I be looking at more effort to get it right? Currently I ride a 125 so I am not looking for huge...

I see you are a Husky rider also. I like the features of Gasgas but have been on Huskys because the Gasgas has the reputation of being very compact while the Husky is built for tall people. I was surprised to hear the bike fit you better ten your 510 when you are 6 feet tall. I am 6'2"...

Ahhh, so the sachs can be made really good but it needs some LTR magic? That is not so bad. It looks like with a 125 it would be the 45mm zoke anyway but they can at least be made decent so that is not a big deal. I'm in Tanasbourne, very close to you.

I know there is a bias towards euro suspension among euro bike owners but I would not put the 45mm zoke in the same league as the KYB. I have ridden several with LTR work and I would still take a stock KYB as delivered on a YZ250. The 45 seems decent for trail work but just not great. That is...

Why is Gasgas going backwards wtih fork quality? The 45 zoke is marginal as it is and the sachs is worse? Husky finally ditched them for the 50mm zoke and now the KYB which has the reputation as the best fork out. Gasgas has, or at least had, a reputation for great suspesnsion so I would...

RB designs is a few miles from my house so he will set the squish on whatever I get. He did my Husky also and commented on how close it was compared to the Gasgas or KTM. So for sure on a Gasgas it will get done before I even try to dial in jetting. I also have a 36mm PWK on my Husky. It is...

I'm still looking at bikes. I noticed the 125 race is quite a bit more expensive. I would assume it is because of better suspension but the specs say the 125 still has 45mm forks. Does anyone know if the ohlins can be had on the 125? The 45s are OK but I like the 50s on the less expensive...

Oh, other then the mc125 pictured above does anyone know which dealers are sitting on new 125 models? thanks

I have to give KTM credit for making a bike like the 150XC. I don’t like KTMs but this is such an interesting class of bikes that I have to consider it. The 150SX models seemed to melt down with alarming regularity though. Maybe the bugs are worked out but I don’t know. Also there are the...

The Tm looks very nice but I believe there is not a US importer anymore. The brand is just a bit too exotic for me at this time. Also they are over 8k.

Thanks for the info. I am injured now so there is a little time to wait for a Husky tank to come to market but if not the Gasgas will be on the list of replacements. Other options are a YZ125 but I would rather stay euro, TM144EN but the importer situation has me worried, and 150XC but it’s a...

Currently I am on a Husky WR125 which I think is a wonderful bike. I am thinking of buying a new bike though and the tank situation on the new Huskys is pissing me off. If it does not get resolved soon I will be looking at other options. First off I am 6'2". The Husky fits perfect, how much...

Husky stuff? how much Husqvarna stuff do you have?

NEW PRICE: How about $50 shipped for either. Good for your Husqvarna, Gasgas, gas gas, Beta. Fork springs are 4.0. $60 shipped(lower 48) Shock spring is a 5.0. $60 shipped(lower 48) These springs have 6 rides on them from new so they are in good shape. I would sell both for $110 shipped.

I have called Les. I was just looking to save some money if I can. I noticed Gasgas bikes come with a 4.5 and 5.8. Perhaps these would be close enough.
