The power of the GasGas can be adjusted easily and inexpensively according to the individual.This is done by playing with the base gaskets and the carby (Keihen 38 PWK) and of course the Muffler/pipe if required. It has a rather heavy flywheel which makes it a torque monster:woohoo: The six speed box is a bonus and it is one of the sweetest handling bikes Ive ever ridden and theres been a few:laugh: Plastics are good now as they are made by Polisport.The only real disadvantage is that there is not the same amount of bling or accessories out there compared to the Jap bikes or KTM. Spares are easily available Australia wide and are well priced. As long as the anvil for a seat has been replaced which Im sure it has it should be a great buy and you will definatley be seeing more of these Spanish senorita’s in the Aussie bush.

That weld in shocking Ollie it looks shocking, better make sure that flapper wheel is attached to a 9 inch grinder and a front rower to lean on it :laugh:

isnt yours alloy?

The rods were only 2MM jobs and I had a Jack Daniels induced weave happening:laugh: Guarantee its not gonna move;)

Ease up Huzza That spigot is going nowhere, low Hydrogen rods were used and I did two runs. Still has to be cleaned up with a flap disk:laugh: I think I will put a couple of Tacks onto the spigot just to be sure. Havent got accessto a TIG at my Bro’s place in Maitlan:(

Yeh mate all the euro enduro bikes are ADR approvedB) being a 300 it will be cheap(ish) as well;)

BTW GasGas will be releasing a 250 4 stroke with a Yamaha WR engine!! not sure if it is injected or Carb,but knowing Gasgas it will be injected:woohoo:

wonder what the price will be with the leccy leg and sh!t??

Dont know $ mate, But lots of black going on there. Being a GasGas owner myself I bet they still have some stuff that really needs to be soughted out of the crate instead of the owner having to do everything. ie jetting,sidestand,handgaurds etc.

I might have to put my name down for one of those bad ass puppies

An Oirish Story

An Irishman goes to the Doctor with botty problems….

‘Doctor, it’s me ahrse. I’d loik ya ta teyhk a look, if ya woot’.

So the doctor gets him to drop his pants and takes a look.

‘Incredible’he says, ‘there is a $20 note lodged up here.’

Tentatively he eases the twenty out of the man’s bottom, and then a $10 dollar note appears.

‘This is amazing!’exclaims the Doctor. ”What do you want me to do?’

‘Well fur gadness sake teyhk it out, man! ‘shrieks the patient.

The doctor pulls out the tenner and another twenty appears, and another and another and another, etc…..

Finally the last note comes out and no more appear.

‘Ah Dactor, tank ya koindly, dat’s moch batter. Just out of interest, how moch was in dare den?’

The Doctor counts the pile of cash and says $1,990 exactly.’

‘Ah, dat’d be roit,” says the Irishman

‘I knew I wasn’t feeling two grand…..’

your a funny bugger XY:laugh:

check the condition of the oil on the stick for a start,also bodgey rounded nuts and bolts, check the linkages for side to side movement as these are expsensive to repair,Has it got a service history? how many K’s/hours? wheel bearings chain and sprockets. Do the electrics work as they are designed. basicly what you would check on any bike

I spoke to KTMrats mate Gary, earlier and he suggested the C-tek 800m/a charger also. He had none in stock and his price was $110. He did indicated that using this charger would prolong the life of the battery by up to 3 times. Probably a worth while investment considering the cost of a replacement battery is about $180.00 – $190.00 for the battery.

From my experience and the fact that I teach heavy duty electrics I would go for the above option, I dont want to type a lot tonight and everything on the net regarding charging batteries I think has been cut and pasted but lets say a quality charger helps service a battery and will extend its life, wheres a cheap one will charge it but not extend its life

You get what you pay for in my opinion

TB

I got a new generation AGM battery and battery fighter charger delivered for about $110 all up I havnt got the WR now but the guy who purchased it is still in contact with me and he has not had any problems.Daves mates charger probably is top shelf but I think the battery fighter is still a good option,my point being do not use a car battery charger,and make sure that the charger you use has the float option,you should get 3-4 years from your battery no problems at all.

Hey Ollie,

why dose more than 750mAh ruin the bike batt.?

is the one you use like the ones KTM and Ducati offer?

=you fit an external plug to the batt. and plug into that instead of alligator clips on the terminals.

got me thinking, now i’ll have to double check the amp output.

From an EBAY store,same as the one I had for the WR450 Battery fighter Junior $33+$9.90 postage IMHO excellent valueB)

For your information:
The first step is bulk charging where up to 80% of the battery energy capacity is replaced by the charger at the maximum voltage and current amp rating of the charger. When the battery voltage reaches 14.4 volts this begins the absorption charge step. This is where the voltage is held at a constant 14.4 volts and the current (amps) declines until the battery is 98% charged. Next comes the Float Step. This is a regulated voltage of not more than 13.4 volts and usually less than 1 amp of current. This in time will bring the battery to 100% charged or close to it. The float charge will not boil or heat batteries but will maintain the batteries at 100% readiness and prevent cycling during long term inactivity.

Battery life and performance – Average battery life has become shorter as energy requirements have increased. Two phrases I hear most often are “my battery won’t take a charge, and my battery won’t hold a charge”. Only 30% of batteries sold today reach the 48-month mark. In fact 80% of all battery failure is related to sulfation build-up. This build up occurs when the sulfur molecules in the electrolyte (battery acid) become so deeply discharged that they begin to coat the battery’s lead plates. Before long the plates become so coated that the battery dies. The causes of sulfation are numerous. Let me list some for you.

* Batteries sit too long between charges. As little as 24 hours in hot weather and several days in cooler weather.
* Battery is stored without some type of energy input.
* “Deep cycling” an engine starting battery. Remember these batteries can’t stand deep discharge.
* Undercharging of a battery, to charge a battery (lets say) to 90% of capacity will allow sulfation of the battery using the 10% of battery chemistry not reactivated by the incomplete charging cycle.
* Heat of 100 plus F., increases internal discharge. As temperatures increase so does internal discharge. A new fully charged battery left sitting 24 hours a day at 110 degrees F for 30 days would most likely not start an engine.
* Low electrolyte level – battery plates exposed to air will immediately sulfate.
* Incorrect charging levels and settings. Most cheap battery chargers can do more harm than good.
* Cold weather is also hard on the battery. The chemistry does not make the same amount of energy as a warm battery. A deeply discharged battery can freeze solid in sub zero weather.
* Parasitic drain is a load put on a battery with the key off. Accessories – Alarm Systems, Central locking. Items powered off the battery while not in use.
* DONT store a battery on a cold surface. Eg Concrete floor. Why?? Because the temperature at the base of the battery touching a cold surface with respect to ambient temperature changes of the day causes it to discharge. The body of the battery must be all the same temperature. Store on wood or shelf when not in use.

I thoroughly recommend this item

Do not use anything that puts out more than 750 milliamps as your battery will be rooted in no time at all. Thats from experience, I paid about $35 for a proper one from a battery place at Narellan,found him on Ebay
