    zippy do you have any pictures of the gusset you added? I'm also looking for pictures of the silencer taken apart. I just bought a 2000 with the end cap partially welded on. I believe the mounting flanges or slip fit are no longer there. I'll need to take it to my friend to have the rear cap and end of the outside tube built to match what it was originally.

    unfortunately I cannot locate any pictures of  the gusset, but if memory serves me correctly it was basically just a small triangle that I welded to the mounting tab and frame.  But can't remember if it was on the outside edge of the tab or inside edge.

    End cap of silencer should fit inside the tube portion of the silencer, and then held on by rivets.

     

    I have not had that bike for quite some time, so I will not be able to get pictures. ?

    The initial damage was likely caused by someone removing the clutch basket without using the correct holding tool.

    Sadly I must admit to that occurring when I pulled the clutch basket from the 2000 Sherco I had, but I did buy the correct tool as well as new basket..............

    I'm having similar issues with the boots on my older GG's. Thumbs-up to Lineaway's suggestion. In addition I may try to somehow soften the rubber; I was thinking of leaving it near a source of moderate heat (possibly steam from a boiling kettle, or a hairdryer). An open flame or too high a heat or a concentrated heat could be bad.Good luck.

    I have used a heat gun on low (doesn't take very long) to soften the rubber boot for my GasGas.  My 2003 originally had the Dellorto with the rubber adapter and the rubber boot was a bit deformed, I have a Kehin now and that rubber boot occasionally likes to go back to the deformed shape instead of round.  A little warm up and viola good to go.

    The Captain of Flight 293 came back onto the intercom later on during the flight to announce 'I have some good news and some bad new news. First the good news, you are going to be on the Television tonight.'

    Do i need put more sticker on my beta?

     



     

    Unfortunately there is a paradox about the ability of stickers to increase HP of the Trials bike.

    Yes, stickers increase the power of the Trials bike, but the additional weight of the sticker negates that power.  So you pretty much end up with the same power output in the end, but the bike will look totally cool

  6. Not sure if this is your first GasGas, starting technique is important

    Fresh Fuel

    support bike - on a stand, lean against tree etc.

    be "on top" of the bike

    take up slack in kickstarter

    kick down and through with authority

     

    (quick stabs at the kickstarter tends to break things)

    I finally managed to get the Allen nut undone, had to use a length of tube on the key as it was mega tight. Don’t think it needed to be that tight tbh.

    Probably didn't need to be quite that tight.

    I have the old style with the axle threading directing into the fork tube, I usually tighten mine by hand to be pretty snug and then a couple moderate whacks with the rubber mallet on the Allen key and good to go.

  8. Depending on what year your bike is:

    You will need to remove the bolt that holds the shaft in place.

    Or you will need to unthread the shaft from the opposite fork tube

  9. I have done the lanyard thing a few times,

    On an old bike of mine I had a sticker "Turn the gas on dummy", this would be due to forgetting to do so many times.

    @biffsgasgas has a habit of forgetting socks......... good thing I usually bring a few pair..... mostly washed. :D

    A friend has a Montesa that after washing it would not start, and if it did it wouldn't run very long.  Text message advice back and forth, turns out he had an airbox cover made to keep water out during washing.  Yep, he forgot to remove the cover.

     

    I split the cases on my GasGas, upon re-assembly I had a leftover thrust washer.  Luckily it was for the kickstarter and I just had to remove the clutch cover to put it in the right spot.

    You don't have it assembled yet Zip?  :P

    Been in the garage a few times drooling over the pieces, thinking about all of the things I am going to do to them.

    It is supposed to be a project to keep me busy during the next winter.  But it is very difficult to not dive in and get started on it.
