In the last few weeks i've spoken to two riders with gas gas enduro bikes and have both suffered from gearbox failures.
Both bikes wee 2002 models, a 400 FSE and the 250 ec, the 250 is on its second gearbox re-build.
Has anyone else had these experiences with their gas gas? the reason why i ask is that i'm pretty much ready to buy a 200, but i can't help but feel unsure about handing over my money when two riders in my area have had problems with their bikes.
Shame, because they rave about the ride but are pretty peeved about the reliability.
any comments appreciated.
