It's good to see you too, Jeff.
Thanks for the information.
How's the counterbalanced EC doing?
Is the 50cc SM still going strong?
Good riding to You!
Jim

In my own words and my "personal" translation and rationalization of your Gas Gas VIN #:
VTR = Racing vehicle
EC = EC model
20 = 200cc
01 = 2001 year model (Do you have the small airbox door on your
airbox's left side in front of the left number
plate? That started in 2001.)
The rest of the digits are related to manufacturer's run numbers for that model.
2002 was the first year that GG gave the tenth digit of the VIN a letter designation. Yours has a number in the 10th spot.

The 98 EC250SM is having some issue. That ratcheting sound you hear
in the kick starter after kicking through. I am getting that sound on
the down stroke... And some times it will slip a tooth or two on the
ratchet. And for some reason it feels like the compression has increased.
Last time I rode it, it made a loud "Pank, Pank, Pank" sound from the exhaust. Sad cause last year I replaced all the linkage bearings, had
the forks and shock rebuilt. Generally went through the whole bike and
spiffed it up. Only got a couple hundred miles in the canyons with it.
The EC50SM went back to AZ where it's owner lives. Ran out of storage
space in the garage.
Still have the Pampera. Have not worked out the title issue yet, bummer.
I do have an Idaho non-resident OHV tag on it, so I can ride it.
Cheers, Jeff
I have a 2013 XC 250, or what was purportedly one.
Definitely a 2 stroke electric start.
Bike was white with custom graphics and was a dealer demo for the owner of the shop.
I bought it from the guy who bought it from the dealer, but he?s pretty clueless, but a nice guy.
The VIN is VTRECH2C2DG400063
Model on title says GG-E3013
Engine says EC30 by shifter, which prompted my confusion, as well as some off parts that came with it in a box from the dealer that says XC300 demo.
It will be important when I have to do the top end.
Thanks in advance

Rob,
I'm not good with the VIN of "newer" model Gassers, so I don't want to give you any bad info on the VIN.
However, I can assist you with a bit of information concerning your bike.
The 250 and 300cc GasGas engines are identical, except for the cylinder, piston & rings, and the cylinder head. (Don't let the markings on the bottom end of the motor confuse you.)
An example: When I got my 2006 DE300, the importer had already sold the bike I ordered, so they sent me a 2006 DE250 with an additional 300cc top end. (The DE was a specially equipped EC model imported to the US for a year or two.) I dismantled the new bike's top end and exchanged the still new 250 top end for the 300c top end; and shipped the 250 top end to the importer.

Just trying to verify the model I got here..
VIN is VTRGG3002F1043226...
If I understand correctly it should be a 300cc 2005 txt pro model. I got this thing for $200 but the electrical is all messed up. Someone thought cutting wires was a good idea. So verifying the year so I can order the correct parts. Thanks guys!!

Hi Chris,
The F in the 10th place should show that it is a 2005.
That's a great deal. The wiring shouldn't be hard to work out. If you have both ends of the cut wires, you can simply go by colors to match them. On the EC models, the yellow wire from the stator is the 12v AC lighting wire. The black wire with the white stripe, from the cdi, goes to the kill switch.
Jim Snell at trialspartsusa.com or one of the long time GasGas trials dealers should be able to supply you with a wiring diagram.

Decoding gasgas 250 trial
Heya,
I just recently got my gasgas 250 trial and the guy I got it off had no idea about anything apart from it being a gasgas 250
I've tried asking someone on Facebook about decoding but he told me I didn't send the right number and that it would be on the headstock but there ain't no number on that. The only number I'm finding is on the Swingarm. Anyone help me out? Would a photo of the bike help?
Any advice would be a huge help as looking for new parts

Normally, the VIN# will be stamped into the metal at the top front of the frame (maybe to the right of center), in the "steering head" area.
Depending on the year model, the VIN should start off with something like "VTRGG250".
2008 or 2010?
I just bought a gas gas ec 200 and I can?t figure out the year, I was told it was a 05, then I thought it was an 08 now I?m thinking it?s an 2010 because of the plastics. Hopefully someone here can use the vin and pictures to tell what it is. Thanks, Jer

By the VIN, your bike is a 2000 EC250.
By looking at the photo, I see that you don't have an airbox door and shortened left
number plate to make room for it: so it is a 2000, not a 2001.

Please help. I just bought my first gasgas and it was advertised as a 2013 200xc but according to how you guys are decoding VINs on here, that’s not what it is. It needs some work and I need to know what model it actually is to order the right parts.
VIN: VTRECE2C7DG200004
Shiny spot on the case reads: EC20
