Good one Tony.Sweet ride.As Baz says,this site is the best for info concerning GG.
Get your oem parts through your nearest dealer.They come from Auck anyway.Everything else just get online.
My old girl's done nearly 350hrs and has never seen a dealer.Owning a simple 2smoker enduro is just plain easy.

Feel free to drop in a comment about ms macs or tui should you feel the need... we all do it.

Whilst munching on my third Mrs Macs steak and cheese the other day, I happened to read on one of the wrappers that they are actually made in Ausfkinstralia! I am gutted. It's like discovering that Gasgas are actually made in China...it just makes you feel sick inside, and makes you question your very being....Mrs Macs....Australia....nooooo...can't be. I could switch to Irvines curried mince, but, well, I used to monitor a trade waste system at one of their plants and saw some things a pie-eater just should not see...

Pie's
Well not really a pie eater , but if i was i certainly wouldn't eat a pie made in Australia , hahaha but if i was to have one it would be a Jimmy's Pie made in Roxborough . Have put 5.6 hours on my bike now and it is still amazing me with what i can do on it compared to my old kdx , first the power is awesome and so usable and this thing just eats hills that i had problems with on my kdx .
The suspension i left alone for the first couple of rides but i was getting quite a bit of deflection at low speed so have wound compression off 2 clicks on the forks then increased compression 1 click on the shock to see if that will even it up as i felt the back was softer than the front , we'll see how it goes but riding in Alex on sunday it felt better .
I also had a bad clutch squawk on take off right from the day i picked it up , i thought it might have been the clutch beading in but it didn't get any better so dumped oil out to night and put ATF in to see how it'll go , ran ATF in trans on my kdx and had no problems , took bike for quick spin and it also felt better as no squawk and no clutch drag .
Next step will be playing with the jetting a bit to clean up the transition from pilot to main and that should be it .

If you want to talk jetting, Linton will be able to suggest a good starting point, and a few needles depending on your pref.
Out of the box the jetting is terrible.
