Done all that . Was fine then went to start but no go. Other than a possible sheared key the filter installed by the factory or dealer wasn?t installed correctly...bottom right corner sealing face of the filter folded back. So check your air filter when a new bike gets delivered ( no matter what make )

I don't want to give GasGas any bad press (I'm a big fan) or make a mountain out of a mole hill.
I might be jumping to conclusions unnecessarily, it's just that I've recently read of two new/low hours bikes that have sheared the woodruff key. A quick check of the flywheel nut might prevent you from getting stranded. |

I was following on FB. Pretty sure he posted a picture showing some damage to the top edge of the piston (viewed through the exhaust port). Not sure where it went from there though.
I was discussing the flywheel sheering with my dealer last week when I was in the shop. The issue is that the factory has been using a dry thread sealant/pre applied loctite. The lack of lubrication (and possibly a lower than expected torque spec), means the torque wrench is hitting spec and clicking before the bolt bottoms out. I think I might pull mine off and have a look. I also saw a post on FB where a couple others have had the smaller bolts holding the ring gear onto the flywheel back out. |

Thanks Jakobi, that's interesting and explains everything.
I don't use FB as I firmly believe it's the work of the devil. So it sounds like the factory are aware of the issue and will have rectified it. I hope dealers are checking any bikes that might be affected as they pass through. All the best, Dave. |
