mashman Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 quick question folks, can the GasGas 80 Rookie be started in gear by holding in the clutch - just like 'most' bikes ? My lads Beta 50 4 speed is a pain, if you hold in the clutch in gear the kickstart just free wheels and you can't turn the engine over unless you go into neutral can you believe it, someone actualy must have designed it that way FFS. Whoever designed it needs their a*** kicking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finn Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 TXT 80 Rookie 2005. It sure can, I often start it with my right hand with the clutch in it saves kicking my boy off the bike if it's in an awkward position! We've had the bike about a year and a half and I can't fault it, easy for him to start, loads of soft power, it rev's like a chainsaw and is very light. My boy is now a tall 10 and it's a perfect fit. Nick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
