Thanks.

I believe that you have a '99 EC250, or at least it started that way.

do the trials models use the same basic system ?
I have a client's TXT280 Pro that she wants to sell... it was sold to her as a 2009 model
The VIN is : VTRGG2803K0630143
K= ? ... 09 ?, from previous posts I read ..
thanx for any help ...

I had already posted about this in another section, before I found this ...

My VIN doesn't quite follow the rules:
VTRECH2C49G400024

It was sold to me by the original owner as a 2009 and even though its red now he said it was a white Six Days version - which my swing arm stickers and side air box covers seem to agree with.

and can anyone tell me what forks came with the Six Days version? Mine don't match the pics I've seen so far. Forgive me I'm new to GasGas and the forum.
Thanks

They're either the zoke 45 or more likely the sachs 48.To be sure measure the shiny shaft below the seal/wiper.

Thanks very much.

It's a 2002 FSE 400.

The FS is for 4-stroke.
400 is for 400cc.
Prior to 2002, the VIN number digit in that position would be part of the year number. In 2002, GasGas decided to conform to the US VIN code regulations and made the tenth digit a letter; instead of having it as the second digit of the year identifier.
"C" stands for the year 2002, as shown in your VIN.

I think the rest of the numbers, at least the ones at the end, have to do with the production number.

You can use this parts book, since they didn't do any real updates till the 2005 miodel, but I don't currently see the download of the engine workshop manual.

The update for your bike that really counted was to the 2004 Exhaust cam assembly.
There was also an update for the starter gear assembly.

Good Riding to You!
Jim

Thanks for your reply Jim.
How/where do I find out more info about the two updates you mention and determine if they have been done.
Appreciate you help.
