pillar Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Hey everyone. My buddy is looking at getting this bike. Who knows about these years? I'm pretty sure it's an 98. The motor feels really strong. Anything to watch out for on this bike? Any thoughts would be good!! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan williams Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 (edited) Might want to ask this in the GasGas forum as posting this here is like waking into a kennel with a pork chop tied around your neck. Having said that look for the usual stuff with any newer bike like frame fractures near the high stress areas like the head stock and any fractures in the engine cases from missed starts. Nicks in fork tubes, funny engine noises, oddness in the suspension. Barring that this is about the time that GasGas started to really improve their reliability and it does look in pretty decent shape Edited July 31, 2008 by Dan Williams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jse Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Hey everyone. My buddy is looking at getting this bike. Who knows about these years? I'm pretty sure it's an 98. The motor feels really strong. Anything to watch out for on this bike? Any thoughts would be good!! Thanks I'm guessing it's a 98' TX270 and the VIN number starts with "VTRGG27098-----------".
