Mmmm.

Something along " touch, bargepole, it ,with"

although newer one's seem ok wink

Love the way that its reccomended that you kick it as you push the button, only managed to kick mine into life 3 or 4 times (FSE 450). Short kickstart, and crappy sprag clutch. Bleedin hoot while it lasted tho biggrin

Well I have one and I'm very happy with it, the only prob Ive had is the starter relay which I knew about before I bought it and was too tight to replace at £6!

So all that glitters is not "the most reliable". Interesting (looks nice though) smile

Its not the bike, I love my GG! Its its history and ythe lack of knowledge of the seller - Its not a DRZ engine - only the top - and that kick it and press the buttton line - he says its advice from Gasgas, its a solution yes, but I found that new starter bushes and a slight tweek of the mapping by Thor have sorted out the starting issues. It also has an idle problem and the starter is iffy.

If you got it for £800 maybe - but I'd not buy it other than for spares perhaps!

Wise words Dan, I know the later ones are better but at present, I'm happy with my KTM.

I rode a Sherco 450 in Spain earlier this year, and that was great (carb model) but think I'll give the older GG a miss !. smile
