Buying a seized Gasgas fse 450

@Calum yeah there not worth much if they aren't running.

As a result, parts for their older models in most cases are an absolute pain in the arse to find. I would know, I've owned my GasGas for 4 years now and finding parts took months. Steering bearings had to be made by hand as well since there aren't any left.

Given enough time you'll find most parts abroad. But its costly and time consuming and what you cant find you have to make. Your choice, theyre great bikes otherwise.

If its just to fix it, don't bother. That's time and money you will not get back. In parts, even as a job lot you'd probably get at least £300-400. If you put the time into selling the pieces, you could get that up to more than £600. Keep in mind, my experience is with the european market which is quite different.

@declan Buy another make like a Yammy, Honda, KTM, Husky etc As parts will be easier to get hold of.

It'll be expensive no matter what brand you go for.

@declan Is that why you've fallen out with the Husky, or was it because he would share his kennel with you???

@Minia yes that’s true @NINJA the best thing about yammy hondy and ktmy is theres a large pool of used parts where as with the more niche bikes like gassy and hoosky you struggle to get used parts so you have to buy oem and it gets expensive
