What did you do to your Gas Gas today?
- Thread starter Bandit9
- Start date
Took off (well bent) radiators. Went to radiator workshop, got radiators straightened, re-installed with radiator protectors. Wondered who was that bastard who managed to design that 2011 aluminium skid plate which assumes you to have at least three hands with six fingers on each to reinstall. Seems that my wintertime fun will include some welding/bending/painting....

Like any other set, quite a bit different on the bottom though. KYB seals fit, (may try the Synergy seals net time though) so easy to get. I keep Ohlins oil 270cc per leg, I didn't do the cartridges
Holler if you need walked through it
Why's that? Does it help with vibration?

Yes. It's an old trick but actually helps with vibration dampening.

Started putting mine back together today. Put a huge order into the Motocross Center as well today
Cool white frame. Would like to see more pics when it is put back together.

Yup I used gap filler expanding foam.
The reason I used protaper is twofold, the walls are 3/4/3 instead of 4/5/3 in renthal .the protaper bars are rumoured to be more flexible BUT due to the way the bar changes wall thickness it's just as strong as a renthal fatbar , renthal also have a plug about 4 inches into the bar that makes it hard to fill them with foam.

prepped for snow
got snowy trail riding in. I studded the rear knobbys with 1/4x 1 1/4 tap cons locked with 1/4 nuts. Outter row of rear tire knobby and all of the front got #8 x 1/2 sheet metal screws. For $45 I'm really happy with the results. Goes through 8 " of snow very well, tracks great going over wood. hooks up like crazy when the throttle is applied.

Saw that stud setup on youtube .Anyone else done it yet. Curious as to how well they hold up? Local store has studded tires for $300 I am way too cheap for that!! Gonna try studding it myself next week. All my snow melted it was 60degrees here today felt like spring. Hopefully on the bike tomorrow
Did ride it around my yard a couple times getting the hang of the rekluse

I am taking it easy on rocks and hard wood.
I've put 10 litres of gas thru the bike since mounting the studded tires,all looks good, the tap cons have lost the blue paint is the only thing I've noticed . The sheet metal screws in the rear edge knobbys are still holding . I thought I might lose some of them but I imagine they're not taking much torque. Screws in front also all good. Worse thing is getting it mounted, the nuts imbedded in the knobby seems to make the tire pinch tight at the bead.

I put in an order worth 700 Euros with the Motocross center today. Including a 2012 transformation kit. It will not be a replica of any particular bike but I am taking the bits I like from various bikes ie Factory, Racing and Carreras.
Hence the white frame
