tosh123 Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Hi Had a major problem with my raga which has broken the crankcase and clutch basket after the kickstart gear broke. Has anyone had to buy one and how much was it? I need the clutch side crank case (has anyone got one for a Raga)?? I'm in tears !!!!!! Love the bike its/was awesome.

tosh123 Posted May 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 It's at the bike shop at the moment. But have been told that the clutch basket has slipped as the gear has gone under the basket (while running). This then broken a sliver off the casing (must be where the bearing sits). I've not seen it my self yet but saw the basket had moved big time!! I'm having knightmare on how much it will cost. I've only had the bike 5weeks.

lineaway Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Usually center case halves are sold in sets so it will be an expensive fix even with the standard cases. The kick start gear coming apart is a common problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jse Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 I'm having knightmare on how much it will cost. I've only had the bike 5weeks. Is the bike still under warranty? Cases are sold as matched sets, so you'll need a set machined to provide the appropriate measurements between left/right bearing ends. The Raga is Magnesium (same as my 02' Pro) but the "regular" Pro, 03' on up, is Aluminum. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope its not to hard on your pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tosh123 Posted May 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Thanks for all your replies. The bike is just out of warranty it an 07 July. You are all correct with buying a matching pair which come to a pricly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan williams Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Man that hurts. When the kicker went on my buddy's Raga he felt it wasn't right and parked it. I gotta give GasGas USA credit. They took care of him and it didn't cost him anything other then a few weeks of down time. Good object lesson though. If it doesn't seem right, park it until you know what the problem is.

thedktor Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Ouch! Sorry to hear of this and the cost, blimey. I have a 2004 300 Raga and am now a little paranoid! But I guess the lesson learnt is not to run the thing if it breaks. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laser1 Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Sorry you had to learn that lesson the hard way. GasGas needs to do a better job getting the KS procedure out to the public. The Pro Kickstart pawl and idler gear are fairly thin and only engage a couple of teeth, so if you jump on it, it can break teeth off. As mentioned, if you make sure the kickstarter is fully enguaged each time you kick it, you wont have a problem. The problem is worse on 300's as they are harder to kick and folks tend to jump on them w/o making sure the gears are fully meshed 1st. If you have an older Pro and break the gear/pawl, you will find that there is a new KS shaft/Gear and they are sold as a matched set. The new style gear is marked with a B. See Jim Snells .doc for more info. http://www.trialspartsusa.com/diagrams/Pro...2013%202008.doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatabeta Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Thanks for all your replies. The bike is just out of warranty it an 07 July. Have you spoke to Gas Gas yet? They 'should' cover this. I may be wrong here and dont want any legalities thrown at me, however under EU law 'any' motorvehicle sold should by law have at least 12 months warranty on it. Obviously Gas Gas UK (not sure if you are in UK or not) only give a rather cr@ppy 6 months. I would call them directly and ask the question, then depending on the answer take it from there - you may be pleasantly surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
