colloc Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Hi, Recently purchased a 2004 Txt Pro 249. My son has managed to shear the engagement gear on the kickstart. Contacted Gas Gas and they have sent up a new gear but my old gear was the quadrant style and the new one sent is the full circumference style. Are they compatible? I did go online and ordered by the part number as per the Gas Gas manual, so not sure if this is an upgraded version? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 2001 TXT 249 Page 71 has the pics, Page 72 has the words http://www.lewisportusa.com/manuals/gasgaspartsman/01partslistcomplete.pdf 2004 TXT PRO 250 Page 40 has the pics, Page 41 has the words http://www.lewisportusa.com/manuals/gasgaspartsman/01partslistcomplete.pdf I believe all the Pro engines use the Quadrant Engagement gear.

bilks Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) No the full circumference type wont fit the Pro.http://www.trialspartsusa.com/manuals/depiecepro2004.pdf but you should also check the rear of the idler gear for damage.The part no in the manual shows for the kickstart quadrant, mt280226002 Edited September 6, 2014 by bilks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colloc Posted September 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Thanks Bilks, Gas Gas have sent the wrong part! The quadrant type fits onto a spline which the full circumference one doesn't have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Bilks, I like that picture. Only on a gas gas is it normal wear and tear to break gears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Bilks, I like that picture. Only on a gas gas is it normal wear and tear to break gears. It would seem as though GasGas PRO kickstarting gears have some issues. Proper starting technique will generally alleviate the problem. Do not "stab" at the kickstart. Take up the slack in the kicker slowly with your foot and then use a firm, swift downward kick. Some do not recommend this: My kicker has been moved forward one spline on the shaft. This allows just a little more spin for easier starting. I am the second owner and the first owner had done this starting when new in 2003. No problems as of yet to be attributed to moving the kicker forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
