sag sag 280 Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Having made the jump from MX I am thoroughly enjoying my 280txt '03 edition . Heres my question - as Scotland , where I live , is p***ing with rain most of the year , its hard to avoid steams , rivers etc . What are the best measures I can take to protect my bike from water ingress etc . As the airbox sits in front of the back wheel I feel a bit uneasy about this and I am sure that some of you must have a view on this . All other ' water riding ' tips appreciated !! Thanks again team - Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jools Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Generally, the airboxs were actually good on those Gasers. As r2w suggested, use Copper grease arond the edge of the lid and if you want, get busy with the Duct tape! u should'nt need to do this on those Gassers. They lost the plot with the 02 Pro & has improved steadily since. But urs will be sound with some maintenance & experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sag sag 280 Posted June 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Thanks for the tips - this being my first trial bike I bought it second had and while it is mint I saw traces of duck tape around the back of the airbox so I know something was going on and your emails helped anwser that . The air filter is on the side and the rubber seal , in my opinion , has seen better days , so for a few quid I'll splash out on a new one and insert with some grease . Thanks a million again guys - youve no idea how usefull this site is to a new start . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beta250 Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Hello old fellow, The only water problem you have is you don't get wet often enough. Lets get back up them thar hills and get the experience we need. Yer side-kick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonty Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Next time you have the airbox assembly off fill it with water and stand it on the mudguard end. You'll soon see where the water gets out (and gets in)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
