trials lad Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 (edited) Hi I have just bought a 2005 gas gas 250 pro and it is brilliant .... But I have a few problems with it,The side stand filcks up when it is parked even when its on a flat concrete floor and also the bottom yoke hits the frame when its on full lock. not like on my old montesa which has little nylon stoppers which the yoke hit insted of the frame. Is this hows its ment to be or it there a problem?? Cheers Danny Edited January 16, 2005 by Trials Lad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munch Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 the steering does that, the stands are meant to do that but yours sounds a little fierce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlaw dave Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Hey Trials lad - Some of the Gassers come with the sidestand spring on backwards - try reversing the way it is fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasserboy Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 i gave mine a few knocks with a brummie spanner (hammer) to bend it back a bit it stop it falling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtt Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 (edited) Dave has it right, but it is done on purpose by GasGas so the stand self retracts. All you need to do is remove the spring and the little metal bar (extends the spring) at the end. The metal bit will be at the top in stock form, replace it with the metal bit on the bottom and your stand will stay down. Yes, the clamps contact the frame at full lock...nothing to worry about.

trials lad Posted January 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 (edited) Thanks for the info guys! Anyone know how much a set of handle bar clamps cost for a 2005 gas gas 250? Edited January 18, 2005 by Trials Lad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sting32 Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Why do you call it the 250? arent they called 280? even the specs (least on the website I looked at) list the displacement at 272.2cc... and the 200's are 175.3cc ya all are confusing not only me, but I think others... I keep thinking you have some new model al together? (thanks, & from the US) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
