What ever have i bourght

[Thomas R]

Hi there. I'm fixing up a mc250, or so i thourght, looking at a 2003 manual i seems that the engine oil filler bolt would indicate it is a 125, how do i find out what and from when the gasser is? Is there anywere i can cross reference the vin/engine number and find out.

Post a pic of the motor. Vin on the bike should start vtrec125 or something. Post the start of the vin.

There are a ton of clues on the bike like part number on pipe, vin #, engine is a totally different casting than the 200-250-300 casting.

Its a 250 he posted a pic of the bike here http://www.gasgasrider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=17866 post #7 also has EC25 stamped on the engine.

What makes you think its a 125?

The oil drain and fill bolts are the same size and small inside diameter is only 1/4 inch or so.

Sorry there is ec25 stamped om the engine i just read that on the 125 the engine oil fillet hole i just above the front sprocket, and it is on mine. The gear lever is very tight in movement, it slots i gear but nearly af smooth as my road bike suzuki Sv1000, is it a open and se what i bent or just me beeing anti dirt bike. Here is a picture of the frame vin

It's a 250 from 1999 or so

Thanks Elvis, could only find a manual for a 2003, but it seems that besides the plastic that they are more or les identical. Any body know about the tight gear shift?

 

[cbutler]

The gasgas gear box is tight and shifts very smooth.

Most parts will be the same from 2000-2005 on the 200,250 and 300.

With that air box boot and plastic mag. cover my guess is it's a model year 2000 and it's not a 125.

[cbutler]

Since you got her tore down that much you are going to take the swingarm and linkage apart to clean and re-grease?
