Vehicle Information
GAS GAS Contact 280 Dirt Bike (2017-2020)
The GAS GAS Contact 280, available from 2017 to 2020, is a trials motorcycle designed for a more accessible and comfortable riding experience compared to its competition-focused TXT siblings. Equipped with a 272cc two-stroke, liquid-cooled engine, the Contact 280 (and its primary ES trim) offered smooth power delivery, an electric start, a padded seat, and a larger fuel tank (approx. 3.5 litres), making it ideal for longer excursions and a wider range of riders. A notable change occurred in 2020. While the 2017-2019 Contact 280 models consistently featured the 272cc engine, some sources indicate a “GASGAS Contact EStart 280” for 2020 with a larger 299.3cc engine. This suggests a potential engine upgrade or a significant model line alteration, possibly influenced by the acquisition of GasGas by Pierer Mobility Group. However, other 2020 models like the TXT Racing 280 maintained the 272cc displacement, creating some ambiguity for the Contact 280 in its final year. Q: How do I ensure I select the correct parts for my GAS GAS Contact 280?
A: To guarantee a perfect fit, please use the year and model selector at the top of this page. This will ensure you find parts specifically compatible with your motorcycle's exact specifications.
Maintenance
| Component | Interval | Details |
| Engine/Gearbox Oil | Not specified | Check level regularly. The manual does not provide a specific interval for gearbox oil changes. Use appropriate synthetic or semi-synthetic 2-stroke oil. |
| Oil Filter | Not specified | The manual does not specify an oil filter replacement interval. |
| Belt | Not applicable | The GAS GAS Contact 280 uses a chain drive system, not a belt. Lubricate chain regularly. |
| Spark Plug | Regular inspection | Inspect and replace as needed based on condition and manual recommendations. |
| Air Filter | Regular cleaning | Regularly clean the air filter to ensure engine performance and longevity. Aggressive or dusty riding conditions require more frequent cleaning. |
| Coolant | 2 years | Check fluid level and condition. Based on recommendations for similar GAS GAS models. Do not remove radiator cap when engine is hot. |
Maintenance intervals may vary with usage and are not all explicitly detailed for this model. Always consult the official owner's manual for precise information.
