Here is what happened to the GasGas gearbox when the chain derailed.Total cost about $760

snapped teeth off 3/4 gear and the primary driven gear

The engine was put together by Macleay motorcycles http://macleaymotorcycles.com.au/index.html only problem That I can fault was the mechanic didnt trim the case gasket as seen below. Labor for pulling engine apart putting new gears seals and gaskets in putting it back together $180

got the spares from Scotties dirtbike supplies in Melbourne http://www.scottysdirtbikespares.com/

great service great guy,knows Gassers inside out.

Should be a goer midweekB)

while the bike was out of action I also completley striped the linkages and swing arm and steering head bearing and anything else that moves and cleaned and regreased it.

But wait, there’s more! If I pay full price of $60 for 4 litres, or $15 for one litre, the 205 litres of Motul 5100 would cost me $3075 – and then there’s filters! At $7.50 each, if bought in bulk through Ballards, there would be, for the sake of round figures, 170 filters, so that’s $1275 for oil filters. If you buy the filters from Sam Laws in Orange at near enough to $20 each (:ohmy: ) that works out at $3400 just in filters!

Of course, at the rates of km I ride that works out to nearly 20 years of riding… That seems reasonable to me! Love my tight single track riding… 500km between oil changes takes a long time at 80-100km per ride!

But… Damn, it ain’t cheap riding bikes!

anybody know how much a drum (205ltr) retails for?

Hey guys this is just a thought but IMHO a completey viable solution to you four stroke freaks:laugh: If you get a group of you guys together say 10 a nice round metricated number

and buy a 205 litre drum of Motul 5100 then divvy this up into 20 ltr drums it would surely work out cheaper for you. I believe Link (the distributers of Motul)only distribute to Dealers but there would surely be a work around for this;)

this would also work for bike wash filteroils gear oils etc etc, just a thoughtB)

Ollie

Good idea ollie but who would get the extra 5 litres.

Chris.

what Mick said :laugh: or gratis to the person who does all the organising:

No mate not worth it for me,if I was setup properly and I was into my Vac cum bagging could be a profitable part time hobby. Besides Id get pissed off with TB wanting to hit everything with a baseball bat to test it out:laugh:
