chappers Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 New to trilas and just got myself a TXT 250 Edition 2002 model. Does anyone know if when ordering parts they are the same as the TXT 250 model ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappers Posted January 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) Hi Thanks for the info this will come in very handy especially for the brakes. Just need to get some practice in now. Edited January 11, 2018 by chappers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowbrow Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 These are good, solid, reliable bikes. If you loop the bike make sure the rear mudguard is still sealed against the airbox otherwise crud can get where it shouldn't. GasGasUK used to offer a rubber apron to help overcome this problem. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappers Posted January 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) thanks I will keep an eye on the mudgaurd as I'm sure to fall off. Can anyone also please confirm the oil type to use in the gearbox ? The manual just says 10/40w but does not say what, I assume justt he usual car engine oil. I ahve also seen some are using ATF. Only just got the bike yesterday so was wanting to go over it and change all the fluids. Edited January 12, 2018 by chappers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchy3 Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 There are several threads on Gas Gas gearbox oil,you can spend hours reading them. On the TXT Pro some recommend ATF but there are some makes of clutch plate(DP is one of them) which the friction material will swell on the Diaphragm type clutch it leads to a hard pull clutch. On your bike which is a conventional clutch i would use 75W light gear oil such as Putoline or 5/30W engine oil(not car type but motorcycle specific) Many people also steer clear of fully synthetic oils too. The more i read the more confused i get! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappers Posted January 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Thanks for the info. Think I will go with the 75w light gear oil then as I think I already got some of that in the shed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
