Wow, that's really disappointing, Gas Gas and US dealers are really shooting themselves in the foot with this one. I love Gas Gas motorcycles, and the 14-17 year bikes have been on my wish list for a while, but I don't think I will purchase another GG as long as this practice continues. Gas Gas is pretty obscure in the US and they're not doing themselves any favors with this.
As far as aftermarket support, I've read on this forum that aftermarket clutches don't really play all that well with GG's and that OEM is really the best option? Also, aftermarket support seems to be really spotty for my bike ('04 450 SM). I know there is some crossover, but finding a definitive answer on what will and won't work is really frustrating. The newer bikes, and especially the 2T's seem to have a fair amount more support.
