    No Spark

    Dan.. I had a bike many years ago that had an intermittent head light and instrument lights. The earth was mounted to the fork yolk so the circuit was relying on contact through the steering bearing, I only found what the problem was when it would only work if you turned the bars left or right but not straight ahead. TLTEL
  2. looks like fun, so it must be illegal. unless the rules are different.in Ireland TLTEL
  3. Is it blowing or sucking?? TLTEL
  4. "Damp electrics" Sounds like you're trying to convince yourself there is nothing wrong with it, TLTEL
  5. Yep... that could do it. TLTEL
  6. 47, ? your just a baby. go for it. TLTEL
  7. Is The fan spinning the right direction? TLTEL
  8. Hi. they do look good and a good price too. I have heard some bad things about Raceline levers but MOTOMERLIN don't appear to sell those, that could be why. I have bought loads of stuff over the years from this guy and never had a problem and always a great service, He is a Trials rider too so I would go for it. TLTEL This is just my opinion I have no connection to this company...
  9. sounds more like a problem at the lever end to me, bit of a coincidence that the pack finger height would need adjusting cos the bike has been dropped. I would (if you havnt already) remove the small rubber boot and make sure the plunger pin is not bent or not seating in the piston correctly, Also did pivot bolt get bent, is it binding on the nylon bushes in the lever, have you done it up toooo tight? Good luck. TLTEL The finger height adjustment has been covered quite few times before, but it does sound unlikely that it is that to me, although never had a PRO myself.

    TL250 Honda rehab

    Must have been a hard decision to sell it, but sometimes you need to stand back and ask yourself, do I want to spend Sundays in the garage playing or get out and ride. if you can ride with your son it doubles your fun!! Modern machines are so easy to ride compared to the old stuff, I keep having ago on my TLR and I want to love it, but it can be such hard work on the sections we get down this way, I take my hat off to the guys that turn up and ride Twin shock and British bikes round the same sections as the modern bikes and beat them.

  11. Hi expat when you fit the new master cylinder, make sure that you adjust the brake lever rod to have a little slack. If you don't have some slack it will not work and you will not be able to back bleed it. If you have a problem with bleeding there is loads of info on this site. Try to load every thing with fluid as you assemble it. Its messy but it will work. Good luck and hope you get your ride fixed.............. Happy Christmas every one................. Ben and Eddy.. Kiss and make up please..XX TLTEL
  12. Great pictures, keep em coming. TLTEL
  13. I don't think they are a pain to work on but there are a lot of people out there that never do any maintenance and just bodge stuff when it breaks or just keep riding them when things don't work properly. Then just sell them on and buy a newer one... TLTEL
  14. If you paid cash I don't think there is much you can do, but if you used Paypal you can reverse the payment as the bike was not as the description. TLTEL
  15. Sounds like the carb just needs tweaking, it wouldn't hurt to check plug first too. TLTEL
  16. Wow that's a mess! Hope You didn't pay too much for it. I don't know how someone could sell something in that state. Unless it was sold as a non runner? TLTEL
  17. Hi Snobbly. There will be a begginers route and there won't be anything too challenging or daunting, I will be helping with setting out. This venue is quite large so you will get a good ride between sections too. Come and say Hi, I will be riding an old Gas Gas 350, or a TLR 200 , I haven't made my mind up yet. TLTEL
  18. CBF1000, Glad you stuck with it. Well done and good luck with the bike search. TLTEL
  19. No, you are getting mixed up with DUCATI. TLTEL
  20. You would be lucky to find that in a 14 year old Beta, from what i have heard. TLTEL
  21. I have Betor shocks on both of my Honda's. TL are normal way (spring near the top) TLR are up the other way, But I think it is just for clearance for the spring. I am also pretty sure the fitting guide says they can go either way. I am also pretty sure some will only work up one way. TLTEL
  22. Yes, just do it, the between section bit really does'nt matter at all. Have fun and as has been said already if you do get stuck someone will give you a hand. The trial is'nt in Canterbury, Kent is it? TLTEL
  23. looks good,DC might want to use that Idea, It does look neat. TLTEL
  24. Actually I have had similar Issues, and as said if you have helped set up the trial or maybe set it all up, you probably didn't look that hard before riding, Tiredness is another issue if you have been climbing around sections the day before. I have found that Drinking quite a bit during the first lap helps (with cramp too) as the first lap is always the hardest for me. TLTEL
  25. concentration issues, I have experienced days when I, er, er, yes some days it's worse, or Sundays usually, the day after Saturday I er, er prefer red bikes for some reason, I er, er must feed the cat and I must get a cat, that reminds me, is that the time? No never had a problem with it. TLTEL
