Gasgas 280 Txt Pro
Hello, I just bought a trialbike and is really happy overall about it. There is just a couple of minor issues.
The person who sold it to me was under the assumption that it was a 2006 but when looking up the vin number myself afterwards it turned out to be a 2001 according to 2 independent sites. This doesn?t concern me much because it felt like a sweet deal. And he had just recently changed the chain and sprockets as well as wheel bearnings and oils etc. He had also when he bought a year ago let a well known service shop go through it and it was no issues. How accurate is Vindecoders ? Now for the issue that bugs me the most parts. Where do I look for stuff and stuff like plastics does several year models fit? It didn?t take me more than probably four hours to break the rear fender in two pieces. I did managed to fix it so that it?s one piece again but it?s not pretty. |

Just got this reply from Gas Gas themselves...
Hi there, The factory is closed, we are not able to provide any parts at the moment. --- Kind regards Th?o Is this due to corona or have the company itself shutdown? If so are there any aftermarket brands that fits. |

Can you post a pic?
Where are you located in the world that will have a lot to do about getting parts. A trick is to just zip-ty the rear finder on so it just falls off at they are pricey $ 150 US Does yours look like this, it is my 01 txt 280 if the motor is the same it is not a por and will be per 02. http://www.gasgasrider.org/forum/att...7&d=1473900374

I live in Sweden but I have loads of ppl in UK and America that I play online with that could arrange shipping for me. https://i.imgur.com/uiCmveK_d.jpg?ma...idelity=medium That?s before I flipped over and now it looks like My Vin is VTRGG28021101066 which as far as I understand means 2001 |

I'm no expert but I think that's a 02. In 02 they were switching from the Edition to the Pro motor yours has the pro motor in it. I would try contacting some gas gas dealers not the factory that's going to be all messed up since KTM bought out stock. You could email Jim Snell rat trials Parts USA here in the states he has a massive inventory of stuff very knowledgeable great videos on YouTube also for repairing.

As stated, contact Jim Snell, he's a really nice guy and what he doesn't know about Gas Gas motorcycles isn't worth knowing. Jim carries a lot of second hand parts as well, but as you are based in Sweden, there are several shops in England that carry gas gas parts (better choice than the USA) that you can also try.
