Would you buy another Gas Gas?

Tim,

Have you tried Smiths Powersports in Imperial, PA. Rich Smith is the owner and is a great guy. I live in Texas and will only buy my parts & bikes from him.

You can also upgrade your plastics all the way up to a 2006 model.

Met the guy from moto connection this weekend at a trials event He drove from vermont to wrentham mass. to support the riders. Seemed like a good guy + he drove 4-5 hours to attend the event and lend a hand . Might want to give him a call.

Tim,

And all FYI, you CAN get the manifold coupler easily. Its a Boyesen part, same part used on the newer GG manifold as the old RAD valve. ALL RAD valves in fact. Call Boyesen in PA, it about $13 if I remember. I always swap them when I swap reeds, as they start to dry out after a couple years. A little silicone helps this though.

If that was Scott he is a great guy and always willing to help out any way he can. Got my bike from him and he's great to do business with. He's into the sport.

Clay, Thanks for the reply to my earlier post. You made some good points and I have since stopped at Matto Cycle and checked out the 2012's he had in stock and he told me he had 13's on the way.
My one question after seating on the 2012 is did the seat height have to be raised to accommodate taller riders? I would think this could be accomplished by offering a higher seat to fit the taller rider's.
I already am often high sided in the tight rocky ST I ride. So now and to be fair this would be with any brand bike I buy. I would have to have the suspension changed both front and rear to lower the bike which will decrease my ground clearance.
My current 01 has at least as much clearance as my friends KTM and I can almost sit flat footed on level ground. This is not meant to be a complaint but more of a question. Also I'm puzzled by the change as most of the guys I ride with are in the 5' 8" - 5' 10" range same as me. Only two of the guys that I can think of are 6' or over (@20 of us).
I do believe you are a great boast to the brand and I know that Mark at GoFasters does a good job getting parts.

GMP, Thanks for the tip on the Boyesen part.

Thanks to everyone this is a great forum, Tim
