REVERUP
Gold Level Site Supporter
Sorry to hear about the rough go for 2012 for you and the family Clay. I believe it will rebound greatly for 2013. I would think the factory will get their parts suppliers in line.
For those of us who been around this brand for a long time we are used to the up and down years. And are certainly used to minor quirks with these bikes.
If you could have seen the long lists of things we needed to modify or replace before we even rode the bike back say 8 -10 years ago, you would smile that some shroud plastic mounting and the seat are the only minor tweaks some feel the bike needs.
Some years back this website is mostly how I learned what my bike needed modded or messaged. No one but guys on this website that I knew owned them, they were truly exotics.
If anyone strays away from a Gas Gas cause of a plastic mounting issue that is easily fixed with something you already have in your shop, or a seat that seems to hard to one but may be fine to another guy. I say let them. I mean no bike is Rainbows and Pony's. All dirt bikes have quirks, and things that bug each individual, thats why there is such a large aftermarket.
Anyhow many of us know what these bikes used to be and what they are now. They used to be the best turning and handling, most tractable 2 Stroke made IMO. Now they are all of that plus stone cold reliable, fit and finish is way up, standard equipment is top notch, and specs are more than competitive with the competition. Oh and the Icing on the cake is, they are certainly one of the best looking bikes on the market.
Since I started riding Gas Gas I have watched Gas Gas owners come and go. But you know what? Seems more times than not, I see them come back down the Gas Gas road. That in it's self speaks volumes.

hey jakobi maybe one of these days we should find a half way point and meet up for a weekend of riding and you can give it a blast! Im sure by then you would have ridden one but its a great excuse to have a holiday with riding 
The list of plusses are huge but with all ups have have a down and mine are very minor and dont really bother me but just are the only things i can pick, I preffered the rear indicators up high instead of under the plate, I preffered the uuhhhhmmmmmmmmm thats it that i can think of right now
