Greetings from Portugal ! 
I've been watching this forum for quite some time and I finally decided to join ! Although I currently do not own a GasGas (I ride orange
) I hope you guys don't mind and accept me as well as if I had one . I'm very curious in finding out more about GasGas dirtbikes and also to be part of this community by helping the best way I can.
Thank you

Welcome aboard, Vindicator!
A GasGas 250 or 300 enduro was designed for terrain such as what you have in Portugal. Gnarly stuff! Our bikes were designed not only to withstand the abuse of such terrain, but to do it at race speed.
I hope to hear of your riding exploits and experiences in Portugal. Please share some of them with us as you get a chance.
Good Riding!

Thanks for sharing the ride with us. I enjoyed the videos.
Wow! They let quads in the race at the same time. I would hate to have to go behind one of them after they wallow out the mud holes.
That hill on video #2 looked like fun. My DE300 loves that stuff. Were you among those that were filmed?
Good Riding!

Yeah, I'm riding the pumpkin
Bravo!!!
Your climb was the best looking one shown on the video. You did it with no fuss, exactly as it should be done. WTG!
If you get lost, and end up anywhere near Arkansas, let me know. I'll furnish you with a bike and show you what I consider to be the best tight woods oriented mountain trails in the United States. (I know it's a long way from Portugal, but one never knows. This summer in Idaho, I rode with two internet friends from Germany. It was 2000 miles from Arkansas, but then, I ride all over the place.)
Good Riding and Hill Climbing!

I am a new member here and my first time posting. I just wanted to thank Jeff for the time he puts into this and let him know what a great site this is. I can't wait for my new bikes to show up. All I've ever rode is converted motocross bikes. It will be nice to ride a bike that is actually set up for woods riding right out of the box. Thanks! Rosco

New GasGas enthusiast
Hi All-
I'm a new Gas Gas enthusiast. I picked up a nice 1999 ec200 a short while ago for something different (I'm a Maico guy!). I wanted something newer, lighter, and quality and found out GG bikes are all that and more! I am very surprised at the performance of the 200 along with the suspension package. The controls are like butta. With the year that I have, finding parts is a bit of a challenge, but mostly possible. This enthusiast site is great and very helpful. I hope to upgrade one of these days as the new GGs look and sound awesome!
Thanks, Gary

G'day all, just registered on this site after purchasing a 2010 EC300 Euro (oz version) - I am in Australia.
Anyway, I am coming off an 09 WR250f and must say the GG is like night and day compared to the Yammy. The Gasser is a point and shoot bike - handles like a dream and has enough power to get you out of trouble and in to trouble?!?!?!?!?
I was immediately comfortable with the ergos of this bike and feel like I have been riding it for 12mths (only 1 ride old!!!). Suspension set up out of the box is awesome!!
Great site with great information that will help me now that I have joined the Gasser family!!

Gas Gas Pampera 400
Hello all, just purchased a new to me, 2006 Pampera 400. Basically purchased as a project and return to my dirt bike origins.
I have not ridden a trail bike, off road in a very long time, so this little beast is my step back into that type of riding.
The bike is in very good condition, but has had only 1800kms of use over the years so the first thing I will be doing is dropping all the oil, coolant, brake and clutch fluid, cleaning the air filter and going over everything to make sure it is tight, lubricated and working right. Looking forward to learning heaps from the forum.

The early (2003) factory supplied 4-stroke workshop manual was written for the engine that was installed in your bike. It should be available online from the www.gasgasmotos.es web site; if not in English, then maybe in the Spanish version. If you can't get one, let me know, and I should be able to help you acquire a copy. I found it particularly helpful when adjusting the valves, as well as many other aspects of working with the engine..
Good Riding and Welcome to the Club!
Jim

Thanks Jim, no sign of the workshop manual on that site, so any help you can give in tracking one down would be appreciated.
