I've heard the quality has gone down hill recently. They're trying to be closer in price to the mainstream bikes, and have been cutting corners. According to several of my trials riding buddies that have Gasgas txt's, this bike has an ok reputation. And for the price I paid, I am willing to take a risk on it.
Tuck, I would have taken a good rip on it this weekend, if only it had a decent battery. The EFI requires that the battery be good enough to run the electric fuel pump. I was hoping I could just boost it, and once running the stator would keep it running, but it requires a good battery. I was able to get it going and take it for a quick 5 minute ride, but that was all the old battery could muster before giving up the ghost. I will be buying a new one today. I would have loved to take the KX out this weekend too, but I found out Friday that it has been accepted to go in a local indoor car show, so I don't want to get it dirty. It's still clean from it's ground up rebuild, and there is just no way to get it that clean again if I ride it without a teardown again. So... I was stuck riding my old ATC350X three wheeler.
