Thought I would post up on my bike . I have been riding this 2011 gasgas cervantes since new . As you may know the special edition bikes are released late in the year .
Well that's 3 years in the saddle, 3 seasons of hare scramble racing,( 2nd 2012- 1st 2013 and 1st 2014 in the super senior class of the VIHSS series.
So I just finished going through and freshening up my bike , and reflecting on how great it has been. Probably over 200 hours , on its 3rd set of front pads , 3rd rear , 2nd chain and sprockets( 12 tooth counter) .org bearings everywhere( although they all get cleaned and greased.just replaced the original top end and that was only because I felt guilty.
Had the ohlins and 48 zokes gone through and it did transform the front as many here have noted . As usual too it needed to be jetted when new , well worth the day of trial and error getting it to run perfect at idle - mid and top .
It should be worth noting that this bike has never overheated, never broke down and started within a handful of kicks at its worst.
