New Gas Gas rider
Hi all! New to the community, and discovering almost by accident what a treasure a Gas Gas is.
I've been going out riding with a buddy of mine, he had a bike and a quad and I didn't. I discovered that I really enjoyed this, enough to decide to get a bike of my own. A craigslist ad led me to discover Gas Gas, a 2005 MC250 that had never been sold or registered, or even ridden more than around a parking lot. Now I'm the proud owner of a bike that seems to be more amazing the more I learn about it. I'll be around here, occasionally seeking advice, and I think the honeymoon will be a delightful one. |

Wow, where did you find that? Here in the US of A? What year is the bike also and jeez those big forks are sweet. Excellent score!!
FWI...I have a brand new E-line carbon fiber pipe guard that will probably fit that pipe. $75 and it's yours. PM me if interested.

It came from a little bike shop in Adelanto, CA. The owner had picked up five of them from a Gas Gas dealership that went out of business. Four ended up being sold to his family members, and I got the last for $2500 plus tax and DMV fees.
It's a 2005. That guy is working on becoming a Gas Gas dealer, so I'll have a third dealer in fairly easy range for me. . He loves Gas Gas, it's what he rides with his family. |

Okay, so the question of spark arrestors has been put in my sights, so:
What, if any, OEM spark arrestor options exist for this bike with the stock factory silencer? What options exist in the aftermarket that may work with the factory silencer? Or, am I simply left with the FMF TurbineCore 2 option? Also, what IS the factory exhaust setup on here? Who makes the stuff that's on my bike, 100% stock? |

Has anybody used a Cobra Sparky? I took a measurement of the outside of the pipe, caliper said it's 2.75 inches. The closest Cobra Sparky is 2 7/8". Will it clamp down on my pipe?
