Why Doesn't GasGas Have Online Factory Service Manual Like this?

Ctoey

Has anyone seen a current GasGas factory shop manual like these Husqvarna manuals? I'm curious because the factory and or the bigger dealers must have one, right???
 
Guys, are there any published torque values for the fasteners used on the engine and frame? I'm an old, experienced wrench, but there are torque/tightening differences that I would like to be aware of.

Thanks, Gordon
 
I'm not complaining. I just wish that Rod could chime in on this issue. Gasgas is spending money on advertising in national magazines so they seem to serious. They have a factory, they have employees that build motorcycles in that factory. What do these employees reference to build their bikes? A ktm manual? Look, if we can get a GasGas Factory online manual in Spanish, I speak Spanish so I would happy to translate it.

I saw the excellent Husky online manual and I wondered, "What a great time saving resource." I am not expecting Gasgas to expend funds to produce printed manuals. If Gasgas wants to build a strong dealership network, won't the technicians at these dealerships need a Factory service manual?

Rod, the ball is in your court, what do you say?

Well worth maybe one pinch only. That is just the owner's manual. A workshop manual is the proper one to have.

Rod, the ball is in your court, what do you say?[/QUOTE]

This ball is actually in my court. Rod is our National Sales manager and his role is to work with our dealer network and adding dealers. He has a full plate ahead of him.:D

I had just recently been at the factory and addressed this issue along with others. The 2016 EC315 4 stroke will have a service manual with it. Plus they are working on a 2016 service manual for the 2 strokes as well. The 2 stroke engine specs and torque specs, along with a lot of chassis specs haven't changed all the drastically from the 2006 service manual that will be downloadable from the new website as soon as 50 below fixes the dealer locator. Perhaps if things slow down for my shop in January, I can convince my service manager to "edit" the manual to be current for 2015, including Reiger and Marzocchi specs for you. I may have to ask DGROGGEN to help in his off time from his job and being a new dad?:p

I bought my first Gas Gas this year. The service manual would be extremely helpful. Appreciate your effort to make this happen.
