Got it yesterday and installed today… never fun getting all the wiring into the cavity… 😑 but it actually goes in better than OE. Tidy kit, bike fired up after a few kicks and is running like a champ. 🦾 Happy days. 😎 https://imgur.com/gallery/nxUgmNS

Yes, just ordered from this from Hell Team in Oz… will revert when installed. 🤞 https://www.thehellteam.com/cdi-regulator-rectifier-external-ignition-coil-gas~182025

Sadly the market for these bikes is beyond niche here even though there is some great terrain for it… mostly enduro riding but even that’s niche compared to shredding the dunes on MX bikes… https://imgur.com/gallery/HU9PfQD

Luckily indeed… I saw that old thread and contacted them. Their response was that they have a full Hidira kit option… not keen on the cost of full replacement to be honest. 🥴💸

Always worth a swatch… discontinued doesn’t mean it’s not in active licence somewhere else. 😁

The above Ducati ignition fitted to the 04-07 250 and other capacity bikes is obsolete… anyone replaced theirs fairly recently and have any recommendations on what to do / which parts? I have seen so far… Trials Bike Breakers UK have a full Hidira kit (inc flywheel) Hell Team (Oz) have CDI and Rectifier plus full kit options Full kit on a couple of other websites I am going to keep looking for other options… nothing on Ali Express… confirmed obsolete by John Shirt Motorcycles (Gas Gas UK). Replacement costs seem to be either an arm/leg for the rectifier and CDI, or an arm and a leg for the full kit… full kit really not in the budget for now. Would ideally just like to fire a coil in the bike but it looks like that’s not happening. 😣 A bit annoyed after getting the bike up and running again after two years in two boxes… it’s been plagued with hot starting issues since I got it though… found my old threads researching the issues. It died on me today again, had to push it 1.2km home today in +40’c heat. Three times in three rides. Been having a look through the electrical info threads too… not as straightforward as working on the KTMs unfortunately. All the testing is clearly laid out with the ranges and the wiring is a lot more straight forward. Tried measuring the resistance from the coil wire to the earth wire, open circuit. Going to have another check but fairly certain its that. Thanks for your help and hopefully money saving advice… 🤞🤪

Pic of the stator up on IMGUR for reference… Gas Gas 07 250 TXT Pro Stator Was looking at the kits… OEM kit only comes with the whole kit and caboodle… expensive. 🤪💸 So may be an aftermarket stator? Same as the OP’s either way… My issue may have been related to the clutch basket coming loose… we shall see… will test all the electrical stuff and check too.

The rubbing was something else… put some pics on IMGUR (only use it for here and a few others 🤪)… good news is that I found the vented bolt… it was holding the stator in. 🤦‍♂️ I was looking at the parts manual including the stator… then I saw the black bolts listed there… I knew there and then it was the most likely place it had been put. 🤪 My next question is around the first two images above which I replicated… Pic 1 shows the clutch and vented bolt… does the bolt go straight in? Or is it missing the bush which is the washer? Pic 2 shows the back of the basket… in the centre, is that the bush? Therefore the vented bolt is purely an axial retainer? I’ve ordered a nut and bush from Lings GG… will probably take 7-10d via Shop & Ship though… wasn’t paying £50 to FedEx it to me in Abu Dhabi 🇦🇪🙅‍♂️😅… if only that bolt then all good for now anyway. 🤞🙏 There’s a few pics on there showing the clutch casing damage… some dunce may have put a washer under the longer stator black bolt and it all went sideways on the second ride. Last pics are what I was practicing on instead of riding the Gas Gas… made some changes to the setup for the better though… plus fixed the broken fan mount. Just need to do the water pump seal kit now… 🫠😅 GG 250 TXT Pro Clutch 07

Could get one drilled out easily enough… plus a bush made but cant find any dimensions.

It might be OEM as mine looks exactly the same… Mine is an 07 TXT Pro also… it’s always been plagued with hot start issues and it’s not the first time it’s died on me like that… I had got on top of it before. Today was its second ride after two years in bits though… The way it cut was weird… I thought I’d run out of fuel… but I wasn’t out that long… stuck it on the reserve anyway. Still cut out and wouldn’t restart. Got it running again but holding the throttle, nothing, just surging at low speed on its own… wawwww, wawww, wawww… died again. Got it running one more time then dead. At first I thought if it wasn’t the fuel, it could be the main jet had fallen out… but then it wouldn’t start. I had bad floats, replaced them whilst cleaning the carb and stuck it in a freezer bag all sealed up ready to use. By the time I’d got the truck, was a good hour later… fired up first couple of kicks and ran fine. Let me run it up the ramp at least. Washed it for strip down and left it out in the sun to dry… started again before I stripped it, ran ok. Weird as the bike was running perfectly… until it wasn’t.

Anyone done this more recently and have up to date info on repair parts? Mine was squawking on/off quite badly… I had as much as a go I could at doing something with the existing unit when I was overhauling the bike. It was free and not making any noise (driving with air though…). Got the bike running after 2yrs in bits, it’s making a noise intermittently… sprayed some lithium grease on the bush when it was hot… seems to be ok for now. Still would like to get prepared for replacement though. Riding in the UAE, it’s getting super hot now.

Any dimensions for the clutch hub bushing?

Does anyone have the size and fitment pictures for the clutch bolt and bush? I have just opened my clutch cover to find something similar… I have M5x20 for the bolt from the Splat Shop website… but no idea on the bush size… also, should the bush go in the recess with the bolt head? Looks like I need these two parts… but I’m in Abu Dhabi… potentially long lead to get them.

Hi - is this what a normal stator looks like? Mine looks the same… but bike was doing some weird stuff today, cut out when hot like it had an air leak or a jet had fallen out… holding the throttle wide open, engine surging but not reviving. Had to walk back and get the truck. Started later. It’s just been apart for new bearings… but I’ve been inside out everything… nothing obvious mechanically. Going to do some electrical tests next.

Mystery solved - if anyone else is stuck for 02-08 (I think… mine is 07) the part number is: BT280710959 John Shirt Motorcycles to the rescue. 🙏
