2013 300XC Sub Frame

[GMP]

Being I'm stuck with this bike for awhile I'm looking into a solution to catastrophic failure by shortening the inner fender and reinforcing the rear of the subframe rails. The hand holds make things difficult. Problem is without a spare inner I have to plan the mod carefully before I cut, like surgery!

A quick and dirty pre-emptive strike might be to partially cut the inner fender, so it's weaker and snaps off before taking the family with it. And get rid of that pig muffler, or at least shorten it. At least you could ride out then.

Do you know where I could buy one?

I would try contacting Motocrosscenter.
The last time I ordered from them they informed me that they can usually get any GG part if you give them a part #.

You need to have a current passport if you order from motocrosscenter.

I too have a 2013 300 and my first ride/race resulted in a broken subframe, air box and support fender. It was my first ride. Wasn't even my fault, the seat bolt came loose I fell over in a corner and (ironically) another Gas Gas rider ran into the back of my bike while it was laying on the ground and snapped both sides of the sub frame, took with it the air box and fender support with it. The seat popping off may have contributed. It has taken several weeks to get the parts . Very poor distribution... I still dont have the airbox and fender support. Very very disappointing for a brand new bike on the first ride. It was racing, I'm not looking for coverage, but poor design for a race bike and poor parts supply.

I just got the 2 subframe pieces today and the amount of work to remove and transfer the threaded pieces is completely ridiculous!! If you've had to do it, you know what i mean!! Who designed this? They should have used the aluminum subframe. I did try to order one but couldn't.

I've invested in this bike with a number of after market parts, so I will live with it (the engine is great!!!). Chasis (really the subframe - totally sucks) not so much.


Not very happy at all coming from a pretty much bullet proof Husky. Oh we'll... My only option is to enjoy it due to sunk cost, new bike plus new subframe, air box and fender support after one ride

Yes seems another order will be placed w/ motocrosscenter.I don't even what to know how much this will set me back. By the way I've received my red plastic
from them in 4 days. Sweeet.

Did anyone get a price? It's nuts that a dealer in Spain can airfreight them so fast and cheaper than our own chain. I'll bet the thing is crazy $$.
