    Please help ,,!!! Having a nightmare installing a set of boyesen dual stage reeds .. I've managed to get the old ones out but when trying to install the new ones I'm struggling. If I screw the reeds and rev plate in I then can't fit the square reed block over the ends of the screws and if I try to screw them in with the metal block in position the holes are obstructed. It's driving me mental and am gunna end up damaging something if forcing it . Thanks

    Brakes

    chris west posted a topic in Gas Gas

    Hi all .. My front and rear brakes on my 280 pro where not very good . So replaced pad and changed brake fluids and bled them out .. But they are still not locking wheel up. When I was pushing caliper pistons they were very hard to move . This bike had been stood for over a year . Thanks

    Me too

    Totally depends on condition it's in . you would obviously pay more for a say bike that's done nothing except sit in showroom or dry stored , in comparison to a 2012 that been trailed and practiced on every week and been unserviced from new ,

    I am new to this and posted about six probs with this bike I've bought .. U see it was in storage for 5 years and a right mess when I got it .. I'm trying to set the carb up now .. It idled great for about 30 Seconds then revs like crazy I have to shut it off at switch .. I've just stripped carb down today cleaned all jet but changed needle clip to its lowest notch .. Is this the problem .. Thanks for help

    Thanks guys it's a 2002 gas gas txt 280 pro. I shall set the fuel screw three turns out and adjust the idle to suit thanks for help .
  25. chris west
    Yeah thanks I was looking through that earlier... My air screw on carb is set just before it starts to rev up on its own at idle ... Is this too much air ... It's not revving but another eight of a turn and it would start to rev. These are newby question I know but am struggling ... Thanks
