gas gas 300 to keep or not to keep

[QuadOwner]

"the modern 250r" as some know it is a cool quad, but is it worth keeping? most parts i think would be a chore to get with the easiest parts being bearings, brake pads and wiseco piston kits, but as far as anything else good luck! so should i keep her?

Since nobody has chimed in, I'd say keep it.

The only parts you may need is a piston and rings or chain or maybe replacing the a-arms, but they can be bought. Everything else is available through a Gasgas dealer or online. Some are expensive, but no more than any 250R parts these days.

I have one, but don't really like the twitchy front end, the motor and every other feature is great though.

I don't know where you are located, but I would pick up another one if it was close.

Sell that heep, I'll give you 1k to help you out

Kidding, and I agree with the above although I've never ridden one. They are rare and the 1 time I saw one I had nothing but qs. and praise for the dude.

Is there a solution for the "twitchy front end"? Stabilizer?

yeah i was looking for parts and nobody has a microfiche that i saw for the quads. i live a couple hours from a dealer and i emailed him awhile back and he said some parts may be a "challenge" to get

Pm me your email. I have a microfische and part numbers for the quad.

Nothing should be a "challenge" except maybe a new frame, or plastic or something like that.

Where are you located?

Nice quad. I've got an 87 Tecate 4 and you can't get much new for it. At least there's some used Tecate stuff hanging around. I doubt there's many used gasgas parts out there. But if you don't plan on wearing it out or doing much to it, then you don't need them.

Is it me, or does the front end look alot wider than the rear?

I am pretty sure they still sell them new in Spain,so I don't think parts will be a problem. My buddy used to have two of those 300's they were definitely sweet. Like the others have said get a stabilizer and that twitch will go away. That front end is pretty wide if I remember correctly around 53 or 54 inches?

52 inches wide it is in the front and as far as i know they dont make quads anywhere anymore

its not you, it is wider in the front. its 48" in the back, but i do believe you can adjust the width back there.

Run 4 x 1 front wheels. The best handling set up and with it being extra wide this will have it more the norm on width and help with the front end.
