I own a new shape combo and a 250 gasser, which fits in without any problems corner to corner. The other replies are correct in that you will need to watch the handlebar grips when loading but once there is compression on the forks(when securing the bike) the handle bars should be clear of the vehicle. Hope this helps.

I bought a 250 pro from shirty 2 years ago, an 04. At the time the 05 bike had been issued and I presume they were keen to shift their older stock. Me and my mate got together and bought one each for

Yeah, definately one to watch for the future. Was at a club round today and watched him go through the adult A route as if it was a tarred road. Made both myself and mate sit up and take note, only to see what line he was taking!

You can pick it up from most car parts suppliers i.e. main dealers. I used it when I bought my new 04 gasser and the frame is still untouched.When applying have the tank and air box off so that it can be fixed over the edges of the frame, this makes it more difficult for it to start pealing on areas of excessive wear.Generally works a treat and personally I think it looks better than all the after market protectors, the tape is almost unseen!

Something that is brought up again and again amongst riders I practise with is, should there be a more expansive score card i.e.1,2,3, 4 and a 5? or a 10 for not attempting a section as often these guys score the same as the battler who risked it all in the hope they may come out of the section with something other than a 5? I mean there is no limit really for scoring, some people have 3 good dabs and the next guy paddles through with endless dabs so where do you stop. Not an easy thing to sort out it would appear but I definately agree a more uniform set of rules would benefit all.

Surely there has to be a cut off point where too light is no good, the traction has to come from some where. I'm sure gasgas and other factory brands have looked into this already but if any of them were to produce a bike with as little weight as your concept where would the others be? I think it has a lot to do with sensible advances each year, every manufacturer improves on the previous year just enough to keep selling their latest models.Just my opinion!

I bent mine in towards the casing and was going to buy a new one but reckoned I had nothing to lose by trying to bend it back. It worked perfect but be gentle with it.

Think I need a new set of clutch plates? Problems- severe drag which only major adjusting cures but in doing so makes the lever extremely heavy and strenuous to use.I tried bleeding the clutch and never noticed any air but on my next outing clutch worked fine,great I thought! Changed gearbox oil through the week, was out on the bike this morning and had no clutch what so ever. Adjusted it through the range but not an ounce of difference. Drove home well cheesed off . Any ideas. Cheers

When I changed them on my 02 sherco I took the bearing to a local bearing company where they made me new ones and also supplied the sleeves to match. Not sure how much they would cost from gasgas but if I remember correctly I paid only a few pounds for both bearing and sleeve. Hope this may save you a few quid

I had exactly the same problem a few weeks back. The top mounting bracket had completely broken off! I got the bracket re-welded and over emphasised the amount of weld but on reassembly I had to grind most of it away for it to fit as snug as it did origionally. Not sure how long it is going to last this time but if it goes again I think there is more room on the inside of the bracket to put a stronger weld just under the spacer sleeve.Hopefully I won't need to do it though

My mate and myself get out on a Sunday for at least four hours or so. In the summer with the brighter nights we also try and get out on a Thursday night for maybe 2-3 hours. If I fancy I'll take the gasser out onto the drive occassionally just to mess about but find it a little boring on your own with no sections to use.

Again, if you are in the UK, try BVM-Moto.They are online and telephone and I have used them many times. I've found they are usually the cheapest around and delivery is the next day.Don't have the number handy but will be on the web page. Hope this helps.

There seems to be a lot more varyations on the wd40 type lubricant/water dispersant but one I found is made by 3-in-one oils and has ptfe through it. This makes it stick to the chain better but it is still as fine when spraying on as wd40. I know this as the engine is far less splattered with oil compared to when I used wd40.

Does anyone know what the prices are for the weekend and Sunday passes and do you have to pre order or can you turn up and pay on the day?

This law has applied for at least as long as i've had my license (10 years). I used to drive the works pick-up (panel van derived) and was nailed for a similar offence. I soon realised the copper didn't like being told he had made a genuine mistake and that I wouldn't mind if he kept the matter to himself! Didn't work !
