The Gasser is probably the tamest of all the manufacturers but that is a good thing in my books perfectly suited to trail riding.They definatley need a pipe guard and bash plate,thats why I made my own;) but they are readily available from dealers.

Yeah I agree, dont see many of them around.
Its hard to not be impressed by Champo’s TM mate it does everything, everywhere so well, not a issue no fork seals leaking nothing bar a piston I think for a freshen up certainly nothing major and has done the miles and been raced. Come to thing of it Menace’s and DR D’s Ktms also seem to adapt to anything very well and the Kato’s are proven no known issues, solid bottom ends not gearbox problems and dealers everywhere given good buying power. But PDS :laugh:
Two strokes my word its like growing up all over again :laugh: and the smell

Are you talking about the bike or the less expeirenced guy in the shop.
The new gasser is a nice looking bike (for a red one). Pitty the girl hates red bikes or I would be looking at one.
In the last week I have ridden a Husky 510
feels to heavy, Husky 300 :woohoo: :woohoo: holy crap, this thing needs velcro to sercure your hands to the bars, KTM 250 2T :woohoo: nice bike did 110 kms today and just loved the little bugger, KTM 300 Had a squirt on DrDs today. Feeels heavier than the 250 and much more powerful.I’ve been trying to decide what to buy for the last month and I think it will be the Husky 300. I’ve had the KTM 250 in the shed for a month and it still just looks like well a KTM. Even the girl says it looks crap and she loves the look of the Husky.
Just my thoughts on the 2 stroke stuff.
And no I haven’t ridden a Gas Gas. Went off them when they changed the colour from blue to red.
Did you ever sort out what happened, Ollie was it chain off and locked the box up or did it select two gears and the shock broke the gears and threw the chain? I was only wondering as if it threw the chain first you would think it would have jammed up on the case before it could jam and then damage the box and as lots of bikes throw chains and damage case but not destroy boxes . I am sure I read somewhere as I mentioned when it failed that I saw something about the boxes? It would be a rotten feeling with a new bike under 1000kms, i know how gutted I felt when I thought mine had done a gearbox at Hillend and then to find out it wasnt excessive :blush: and without pulling it down to be going again was such a relief
Just wondering have been meaning to ask

TB not to sure what happened,I think it was the chain derailed and locked up around the the chain guide causing the damage. I noticed the chain was pretty loose when we stopped at some nice little place,but didnt adjust it,
1 hour or so later was when it derailed,learnt my lesson there;) I havnt heard of any others doing it even though I trawled the net trying to find a common denominator.Havent had any issues since which is a bonusB)
Ollie
Mal,how did you find the kick starter on the Husky and the heaviness of the cable clutch ? I use to love the Husky but feel there is some definate improvements required before I would outlay the hard earned,maybe the new model will see the improvements.( my opinion only) TM’s look pretty trick as well.
