wrmec Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 i have a 2006 gas gas txt pro. i have noticed that most of the fixings that attach the airbox to the seat unit have snapped of (they are torx screws screwed into a plastic threaded thing). This can leave a gap down the side and into the airbox. i have glued them back on before with a strong glue and put silicone between the joint but they have snapped off again i just wondered if anyone else had had this problem and if there are any solutions. thanks.

peterb Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 It is not usual for these to snap off, must have taken quite a knock. Only solution is to buy a new seat base. Bye, PeterB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jse Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 I just did a temporary fix for this problem (until his new seat unit arrives) for a clubmember two days ago. I sealed the seat to the lower base with a generous application of Silicone and let it set up for a day. An issue you might want to check is your shock preload if the damage was not caused by a strong hit to the side. Our rider's shock retaining collar had backed off enough that the back tire slammed up against the rear of the box on a big drop-off.
