SOLD! Thanks gasgasrider.org

*I am running a new ad since the last one was 2 pages long and I couldn't add pics to the original post AND I do not think I'm interested in parting it out. This is identical to the Gas Gas ec250, but w/ a lighter flywheel and MX-style ignition. I think I may be retiring from riding. I never...

What is it worth, assuming I sold everything? You can check out my for sale ad here to see upgrades and condition of the bike. I really don't have a clue as to what it would bring. Thanks.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. Problem had nothing to do with the scorpion, instead it was the spring had slipped out of place! I reinstalled it improperly b/c that's how I found it but after looking at pics on here it was wrong, wrong, wrong!!!!!!!! Thanks everyone.

Is this what it's supposed to look like? http://gasgasrider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=2567&highlight=scorpion I don't know how I could possibly get it in that position, as much tension is in it!

Got the bike to shift now. Problem was that I did not have the centerer pushed in far enough. New problem: bike will shift, but gearshifter will not return to center. What the hell??? The spring looks taut. Gasser, can you help?

I reassembled everything according to this: http://www.gofasters.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=65_134_319&zenid=5209be48f48c37f47daff2d0c6424a0c Surely this is correct??? And what is the detent arm bolt?

I'm in Chattanooga.

Shaft is not bent. This bike is virgin. I will try and post pics so you guys can tell me if I have reassembled it properly. Look for those pics in the next 24 hr. Otherwise I may have to take it to the GG mechanic in Knoxville, which is going to amount to 400+ miles of driving by the time all is...

Oh, man am I getting frustrated. I took off the scorpion, smoothed it out, reinstalled it and everything seemed fine. With the clutch cover off, I was able to put the bike in neutral and first gear with my hand on the gearshifter. Repeated this several times. Put cover back on and bike is goofy...

Gasser-thanks so much. I think this is the problem, though I won't know for sure until I put a new gasket on and get it off the trailer. However, I am still having a hard time understanding how a little debris can get hung up on the rough "edge" and cause enough drag to make the scorpion stick...

Went riding yesterday. Nothing unusual until my ec250 got stuck in 2nd or 3rd gear. When I got back to the truck and tried to shift it by hand, I noticed that there was no feel, no "click" to it. Any ideas? This bike only has about 12 hours of slow, easygoing riding on it. Could this be...

Peb-it's a new bike. Is it possible the crank would need to be centered...from the factory?

The vibes are in the pegs as well. I don't know if this is normal for this bike...it's certainly not as bad as my aluminum-framed CR250 was.Maybe I'll just go with the Sunline bars. And I went over all the bolts on my bike and everything is taut. Only mods I have done were head + carb mod and...

Vibe-dampening is my top priority.
