    Thanks. I will get some ordered up. Then I can see about the clutch.

    To be honest I have not had much chance to try it out since I got it last week. I will change the oil first and adjust the clutch lever and see how that goes before worrying unduly. Just to confirm.. I do not use synthetic as this swells the clutch plates?

    Thanks chaps. I had found them already. The clutch does drag so I think I will be changing the gearbox oil at the weekend. I will go for the 5w/30 as recommended. Just to confirm. Non synthetic?

    Thanks chaps. I am trying to find a manual for my bike so I can have a read for basic stuff. So the 5/30 mineral oil seems to be recommended, although as with many things there seems an array of opinions. Started it for the first time since I had it last night, once I found the choke. Sweet engine!! Revs really nicely. I might have to ride around my partners garden and up and down her landscaping. Lol

    Ok the pictures. The allen bolt to fill. Is it s view hole below. Drain. Not sure! I have seen some people say ATF. Are you saying mineral oil ( not synthetic)? A pity I can't find any sort of workshop manual.

    Well I have bitten the bullet and bought it. Here's a couple of pictures. Now I better try and work out how to change the gearbox oil. Lol. Always change fluids on new vehicles I reckon.

    Well I just had as much of a test ride as I was comfortable with. A bit different to my Blackbird. Lol It's a bit smokey...a 2 stroke possibly over oiled, gear seems ok although neutral was a bugger ( usual?) Other than that it seemed to pull pretty well to me. Reckon it could be worth it.

    Excellent. Definitely worth a punt then? Better option than the 270 despite the engne rebuild?

    Right is that pretty much definitive? The chassis number is as follows which suggests it is the 2001. VTRGG280107012285

    sean65 replied to sean65's topic in Gas Gas

    I will post a pic of the bike once I work out how to do it to see if you guys can work out if it is the early 280 or not. I have asked the chap for the engine and chassis numbers too, which hopefully will be forth coming.

    sean65 replied to sean65's topic in Gas Gas

    It seems it might be a 2001. So would this mean it's not a pro. How can one tell? Would a photo confirm?

    sean65 replied to sean65's topic in Gas Gas

    I am beginning to think that myself. The 280 is only 3 miles away and the 270, 40 miles, but both will go in the back of the Discovery. Would the 280 not have been sorted in its 13 years history by now though, or expired if it was a bad example. The be honest as a total beginner, I probably wouldn't tell the difference. Lol

    sean65 replied to sean65's topic in Gas Gas

    I see your point, although by now surely most things would have been fixed or modified. Are you suggesting the 270 of the 2? Front bearings an easy job?

    sean65 replied to sean65's topic in Gas Gas

    Had a look at both today. Both seem pretty straight. 270 has had engine rebuild new discs but has some play in the front bearing. 280 again seems straight and well looked after. Both started first kick with not trouble. For very similar money, would the newer bike not be a better option really?

    Hopefully I am off to look at the 280 tomorrow and 270 Sunday. Anything I should specifically look at.

    Gasgas125. What rack have you got on the back of your 110. I have a Disco 2 and fancied chucking a trials on the back.

    I'm looking at two Gasgas bikes at the mo. A 280 and 270 txt. Ok as beginners bike? Both 2 strokes!.

    sean65 replied to sean65's topic in Gas Gas

    That suggests that you think the 280 is a better option than the 270 because it is more up to date, or is it really a case of pay your money and take your choice.

    I am looking at getting my first trials and plan to go and look at a GasGas 280txt and 270txt over the weekend. The latter has been rebuilt and is a 1999 example which seems very straight. The former is a 2002 model and again seems very clean. Similar money, so is there really a better option of the two or would the forum consider them much of a muchness. Thanks
