2008 Crank Bearings
Interesting info:
I just got off the phone with Mark from Go Fasters who was kind enough to answer my many questions about the Gas Gas bikes and some of the 08 changes.
The 08 2 strokes will have SEALED crank bearings because of the Euro emissions regs. Allows 100-1 mix ratio with no problems. Yikes!!!
Also said the bikes are coming with no pipes or silencers. FMF will be building the pipes and will provide the S/A silencer as well. It's a copy of the Doma pipe which they sent along with the 07 bike for fitment.
Clarke is also making a new oversize tank for the bikes.
Bikes come as EC but have the lighter DE ignition and wimpy 2k2 35 watt output.
MSO/Title could be an issue if you want to register the bike as it may read "for off road use only" unlike previous MSO's I was told. This is still up in the air though I guess and Dale is working on it.
Better seats
Ohlins still an option
If you like Blue the 2nd or 3rd shipment should have some of those as well
Light kit is seperate and about $300. Ouch!!
$7,400 for a 300 and a 200 is only going to be a few hundred less.
So....how did I do for a newbee over here?
