2013 Gas Gas TXT Pro 300 - Great Condition - Freshly Serviced + Extra Goodies!

2013 Gas Gas TXT Pro 300Up for grabs is my beloved 2013 Gas Gas TXT Pro 300.  Selling due to the recent passing of my mother (funeral costs etc).  This is a VERY reluctant sale!!About the bike. ExtrasThe bike has been fitted with an Ohlins rear shock which feels great. it finds grip lovely and just feels "right".  S3 cylinder head.  In all honesty I haven't had the chance to ride a 2013 300 without this cylinder head so I can't comment on the difference.  What I do know is that power delivery is nice and smooth and it looks really cool.  Inside the cylinder head is a iridium NGK spark plug. You can change the compression using inserts with this cylinder head however the standard compression suits the bike perfectly in my opinion.  A lot of people seem to think the 300's are nasty however I find them much smoother than the 250/280's and now won't buy anything else. Ghost Footpegs.  These aren't particularly expensive to be honest but they are the strongest and comfiest pegs I have ever ridden with.  I have been riding with these for 6 years and have never come close to breaking them. Jitsie rear brake pedal.  This positions the rear brake a bit more to the right which I feel gives much better control using the tips of your toes instead of the side of your foot.  This has only been fitted to the bike the past couple of rides. Jitsie lever adjusters - A lot of bikes use these.  Makes those small adjustments really quick and easy.  Saves you whipping the tools out!10T front sprocket.  With this I ride pretty much everything in 2nd gear!  What I've done before sellingI don't like selling bikes unless they are 100%.  For both yours and my benefit I have put new parts on that I feel may have been getting near the end of their life.  Things I have done include. Brand new Renthal chain. New engine oil. New Domino grips. New steering head bearings.  On my last ride the steering head was knocking slightly which usually means it just needs tightening.  I replaced them completely though just to make sure. Cleaned air box and cleaned/re-oiled the air filter (usually done every ride anyway). Cleaned the carburettor (usually do every 2/3 rides). Maybe some other stuff I can't think of right now!Other NotesThis is a good. honest. competitive bike.  You see a lot of people selling bikes (particularly fairly new ones) who are very new to the sport.  The adverts usually say how they are mechanically perfect and ride fantastic however you need to take in to consideration the level the owner is riding at.  As an example.  When I bought this bike. It had only been ridden a hand full of times and was immaculate.  I was told it rides brilliantly and it was 100% perfect mechanically so I drove a long way and paid a lot of money for it however when I got there and rode it I found out the rear brake did not work at all.  This was down to a factory fault in the hose and I fitted a new one straight away.  The owner apologised and explained that he did not use the rear brake at all so wasn't aware.  This bike rides absolutely spot on. I ride at "expert" level and need the bike to perform at my ability.  This is why it's so important that everything on the bike rides as it should and while out on it last Sunday. it did just that!  Cosmetically it has the usual scrapes here and there.  Nothing serious at all though.  It has spent most of it's life with me being ridden in woodland with only the occasional rock/river bed so not been thrown off any cliffs!  Another thing to note which can be a nasty surprise when you go to view a bike.  The fork tubes are UNMARKED. Too many times have I turned up to view a bike to find chunks taken out of them!  My other halfs bike is a different story though. The term "ready to ride/trial" is chucked about a lot but there is no reason this bike can't be taken straight out and ridden.  Aside from adjusting bars/levers to suit it's new owner of course!While test riding bikes is always important. sometimes it's not always possible due to distance/time etc.  Because of this I've chucked together a short video of the bike being started/ridden (however in a very enclosed space) to show it all working.  The technique in the video uses a combination of front/rear brake. clutch. throttle and suspension and doesn't work too well if one isn't working so thought it would be a good example.  You can check the video out here. https://www. youtube. com/watch?v=GstMMBm-dX8&feature=youtu. beI am based in Sheffield and I am pretty flexible for anyone who wants to pop up and view/ride the bike however viewing/riding will not take place at my property due to previously having a bike stolen.  Unfortunately it is a precaution I have to take and hope it won't put any potential buyers off coming to take a look.  I will arrange a safe. easy to find place to have a play!  Payment/collection must be made within 7 days unless otherwise arranged.  Cash on collection is preferred. Any questions at all. please feel free to contact me through eBay.  Auction ends Saturday evening (8th November). Thanks a lot and happy bidding!All the best. omNotes to potential thieving scumThis bike is not currently being kept at my property and anyone wishing to view/ride the bike must meet me at an arranged place.  In short. If you are thinking of stealing this bike. look elsewhere. I am now very cautious after learning my lesson the hard way!
