Gio Beast Limited REVIEW
Hello Everyone!
I created a video review of the Gio Beast Limited - it is quick-n-dirty - I made it, edited, and posted it this evening. Enjoy! [/url] |

Excellent review! Very nice camerawork and it looks like you have some beautiful riding country there! Makes me wish I had the Limited instead of the regular Beast, they did some really good upgrades on the Limited!

Thanks for the review. Regarding the front shocks, have you tried filling them with nitrogen? That might provide the damping you're looking for.

Thanks for the feedback guys,
No - I haven't tried putting gas in the shocks - I'll go look for some and try it. I had this weird thing happen - it was idling after a small ride, then just stalled. I could't get it started again, after much trying it did start again, about 15 mins later. Kinda worried me, wouldn't want that to happen in the bush (I'd just got back form the most remote trail ride yet with it, though it was a short ride). |

Are you using a fuel filter? I can't recall. If not, I recommend that you buy a North American filter. Perhaps something got stuck in the carb.

There is a filter on the fuel line, though I can buy a north american one. I took it for a ride today, and it was fine.

BTW, you can usually get nitrogen at the local tire shop for cheap (or free).

That's the nicest way anyone has ever told me I'm full of crap.
