shercoben12 Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) hi , need to be on a 250 for my age and im on a 2012 300 right now . changing the whole barrel seems a really expensive way to go about it. not gonna sell the bike for another as this one is aswesome. can you get it sleeved down to a 250? is it possible? anyone know anyone who can do it? any other things i could do?!

shyted Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Contact Kevin by email at GasGas u.k and he will give you a possitive yes or no . He will answer your querie and probably give you the reason why if you can't . Alternativly ,you can go on the GasGas uk web site,go to Tech/Spares,look through the on line expandable workshop manual and start by looking at the part numbers for the connecting rod.Compare the 300 & 250 numbers.If they're different id say the rod is longer. So it may not be just down to the bore. Ted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lineaway Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 A sleeve is not available. I think a sticker kit would be the way to go! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 which class requires a 250cc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splatshop Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) We have a freshly replated 250cc GasGas barrel in stock http://www.splatshop.co.uk/used-gasgas-pro-cylinder-250cc.html you also need the piston and cylinder head (or just the 250 insert if you have a later bike). As Nigel says why do you need a 250cc, the ACU limit is 125cc for A and B class on a modern bike. Edited June 18, 2014 by splatshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bones Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 It is not only the ACU that run trials !!! AMCA also run trials! and the limit for 12-15 year olds is 250cc Details can be found on the website http://www.amca.uk.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b40rt Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Presumably, his parent / gardian signs the entry form give permission and accepting responsibility ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan williams Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Hmmm late to this party but.... I put an S3 low compression head on my 300 Beta to make it less of an animal. Much cheaper option then a full cylinderectomy. It's a good mod. Keeps the grunt while removing the brutal hit on top. Well reducing it at least.

shercoben12 Posted July 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) had so many problems with it , final straw was the top end needed to be replaced on it ( 5 months old ) hardly used like new! was going to do it but the parts took too long ( like months ) and parts supply was shocking... bought A 2012 racing gasser and cracked the frame ... ooooppss. now on a 14 racing. had no problems so far. its in another league riding wise compared to other bikes out there Edited July 5, 2014 by shercoben12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
