at a local Bill Gusse HS.

Holeshot and led start to finish in my class. So I guess I like my new bike.

I'm in the AA class. Oops, I mean AARP 50+ class. Small turnout Sunday only six. But some of these guys have been racing for over 30 years and still have respectable speed. We usually make our way about halfway through the A pack, before it's over.


There is a guy who takes photos and he usually gets the starts. I'll have to take look when they are posted.

Hey CONGRATS! So after leading the sea of pumpkins I take it you like the new GasGas? Have you done anything to your suspension?

This bike was really trying my patience initially, since I seemed to have a lot of teething problems. I finally have it fairly well sorted and am starting to like it more.

The suspension is stock. The rear shock seems to work well for me. I have the same shock on my WR250 Husky and like it also. The front forks were incredibly harsh when new. I thought I was going to, have too have them revalved. After about 15 hours of riding, they have broken in to the point, where I can live with them. I may trying changing to 2.5wt oil this winter, and give that shot. I did that on my Husky's Marzzochi's and that help them become more supple.

I have a simple mid-valve mod that takes a lot of the harshness out without totally losing trail feel ... and yes, the more time the better. Make sure you check your upper spring seat shims - they're too thin and like to cup and crack ... just before they break and destroy your fork.

How soon does this happen? I may talk to you after our season winds up. I'm busy setting up our local HS for next weekend and then it's off to So MO for some trail riding at Thanksgiving. After that the studded tires get mounted on my...cough, choke, er...KTM for winter riding season.

How far into SoMO, Might need to get together that weekend if I could
