    Backfiring On Evo 4T

    Long shot, but check your air box has not got oil in the base from the engine breather. This can cause poor running and backfiring particularly on large throttle openings ie on hill climbs.
  2. Translation from http://www.elperiodico.com/es/ http://www.elperiodico.com/es/noticias/economia/fabricante-motos-electricas-torrot-presenta-oferta-mas-elevada-por-gas-gas-966-millones-euros-4626450 The manufacturer of electric bikes Torrot offers Gas Gas 9.66 million, the highest price The manufacturer of electric bikes Torrot offers Gas Gas 9.66 million, the highest price Wednesday, October 28, 2015 - 19.18 h The manufacturer of electric bikes Torrot is having submitted the highest bid for Gas Gas, immersed in the process of liquidation. It proposes buy it for 9.66 million euros, while the two other companies interested in the production unit, the investment fund and the French Sherco IRG, offered 7.02 and 2.66 million respectively. The opening of tenders in the Commercial Court of Girona has allowed to know that all companies interested in Gas Gas want to keep the brand, revive the activity and take some of the current staff, subrogating between 47 and 60 workers. Representatives of the Committee request speed in the process and remember that, with the two temporary employment records have chained, have consumed 60% of the unemployment benefit. The Girona company that manufactured dirt bikes and enduro, takes 10 months to stop production, and in July went into liquidation unable to renegotiate a debt of 44.3 million. The manufacturer of electric bikes Torrot is having submitted the highest financial offer, 9,669,628.20 euros for the production unit and assume part of the debts. If the proposal is broken down, 6.38 million euros would go to cover credit (with entities as Sabadell, CaixaBank, BBVA, ING and the Institut Català de Finances). Torrot offer is accompanied by a guarantee of up to 150,000 euros, and also includes that paid 1.65 million to buy the machinery and factory Salt estate, headquarters of Gas Gas. The industrial project, Torrot plans to invest 13 million euros over three years to launch a feasibility plan that allows revive the company, maintaining the brand. Also proposes subrogation contracts 55 workers. OTHER OFFERS Meanwhile, the investment fund WRI quantifies the value of the production unit at 7,020,115.94 euros. It proposes to pay 500,000 euros in cash when the liquidation process is over and allocate the remaining 6.5 million to revive the company. As for debt, only charges will assume Gas Gas contracted with Social Security. And in its industrial project, it provides subrogated 60 workers, and if you need more staff, will give priority to former employees. Stresses that keep the factory in Salt and one of his priorities will be to improve after-sales service and spare parts. Finally, the French Sherco is that proposed the lowest price, 2,665,160 euros. Of these, 1.10 million were earmarked for the purchase of plant, machinery, stock and customer network Gas Gas, and the rest to pay compensation to workers who are laid off and cover the debt with the Social Security . Subrogated proposes 47 contracts and invest 11.8 million in a plan to revive the company and the brand. From now on, a period opens for the different parts (insolvency administrator, staff, etc.) study the bids, and the court can give option to the interested firms to improve their proposal. For the judge to decide the new owner of Gas Gas.
  3. You get what you pay for! Mich every time.
  4. You need to be looking at the carb, blocked jets, floats stuck, fuel not getting into the carb.
  5. Had you been riding in streams? Is the spark plug wet with fuel when you remove it after trying to start it or is it dry?
  6. Try a new plug as they can spark fine when under inspection but can breakdown under compression!
  7. I Would buy a 2016, my sons 2015 125 is an unbelievable bike it really is good for a 125!
  8. Don't know the answer to question 1 but next time I do one of our bikes I am going to try - http://www.trialendurodirect.com/product/expanding-exhaust-packing/
  9. Is the fan running at full speed? I seem to remember seeing a capacitor on the wiring diagram (I think) if the capacitor is faulty you could have a fan running at low speed or even running in the wrong direction!
  10. See the links below, if you are going to rotate and change your tyre two or three times a year this is a brilliant tool ( you will need to have an air compressor to use it) see it in action on YouTube. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mechanics-Workshop-Garage-Motorcycle-Tyre-Bead-Breaker-Motorbike-Tyre-Changer-/400800672615?hash=item5d5194eb67 And you will find this helpful as well http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mechanics-Workshop-Garage-Motorcycle-Tyre-Bead-Breaker-Motorbike-Tyre-Changer-/400800672615?hash=item5d5194eb67 Both items are generic and I have not selected any particular brand, choose on cost and quality.

    Compression Range

    Glad to hear that your on your way to getting it sorted. Great looking bike. The dirt around the cylinder looked really suspect.

    For a 6 month old bike what is going on around the base of the cylinder? Have you spoken to your dealer or let him have a look at the bike? Where are you located, If in the UK John Lampkin will sort it out he is very fair! Sorry just noticed your in the USA.
  15. Some gearbox parts for GasGas pro are now not available in the UK and haven't been for a few months now! Really hope this is sorted soon to keep GG alive for the new owners.

    300 4T

    More of a push than a kick, easy once you get used to it.

    Rev3 Not Firing

    Some people cut a small v in the base of the cover to allow water to drain out of the cover rather than water building up inside the cover.
  18. Just clean up the old one, lay the bike on its side and swap it over or just remove the bolt you have fitted and leave it out until you get the new one, 10 mins will have it done. If you take it out and leave it out, remove the retaining washer as well!
  19. The original base gasket seems to be a better material, will it be ok to reuse it?
