I am surprised that a member with such a high post count is still fooled by the yo-yo of resurrection/ self inflicted mortal wounds. This is the 2016 Gas Gas momentum killing executive decision. Make certain that people can only buy last year's bike and make certain that no one can get parts for the bike that they have. I guess the new norm is calling every dealer in the states to see if they have the part you need stuffed in a shoe box in their warehouse and then begging them to ship it directly to you. The best you may be able to do is have it shipped to a dealer next to you (wherever that may be) and hope to have the part transported by carrier mule to your hateful neighbor's house. The fact that you have to beg for a part is part of the prestige. They are doing this to strengthen the bond between you and your nearest dealer and strengthen the bond between you and your hateful neighbor.
Think of is as an abusive version of pokemon go. Where every time a part needs to be replaced you have to search the country only to be punched in the balls on ride/race day.
By putting up with the abuse you demonstrate your love.
You can buy over 200 million items on amazon with one click and have them delivered to door. With Gas Gas you can buy almost 200 with 300 clicks, 4 calls, six transactions, three prayers, and the dream of owing a CNC machine and all the CAD files to build parts at home.
