  1. Just ordered a pair of oiled ones on e-bay for only €200. Nice!
  2. Have you read these? http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/topic/43960-french-4day-trial/?hl=creuse#entry320456 http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/topic/41227-4-jours-of-creuse/?hl=creuse I've only been there once, last year, and I liked it very much. You can choose between 1 or 2 laps per day. 1 was enough for my abilities and condition. The guys who rode 2 laps where on their bikes almost all day. If you're camping there's the football grounds behind the cemetary which have showers. This is very close to the start in the town. There's also a free camping ground by a small lake at Masmangeas about 2 km from the town (Sardent) It only has a very basic toilet but you can shower at the football grounds. Ther'es also a café where you can eat something . (Last year it was run by some Brits)
  3. If it's not for permanent use the Sthil EDT8 is easy to use, just put the clamp over the spark plug wire. Other tacho's usually connect one wire to the points and a + and - wire for power supply. Make sure the tension is correct for your bike: 6 or 12 volts
  4. Strange people you brits, even when it's not raining for once, you make sure to get wet
  5. CASTROL R 30 Contains specially selected additives to prevent rapid deterioration through oxidation. APPLICATION Castrol R 30 is are recommended for competition applications only. It is a “one meeting” only lubricant, with fresh oil to be used at the commencement of each meeting and drained at completion. Castrol R30 is not recommended for normal road use. FEATURES & BENEFITS For racing and high speed competition, Castrol R30 provides the ultimate in lubrication. If the best possible performance coupled with reliability is the aim, then the remarkable stamina and great film strength of Castrol R30 will provide a valuable "margin of safety" at ultra high engine speeds and temperatures. Seems to me it's not made for trials motorcycle. As bashplate says, there are better suited oils these days. I've seen what a mess it made on the bearings in my Bultaco.

    Oil Check Help

    Why not? It seems to me that it's just as accurate as a dipstick.
  7. Motors TV UK can also be watched online. Warning! Contains very annoying pop-up commercials. http://nl.vipboxeu.co/motorsports/41409/1/motors-tv-live-stream-online.html TV guide: http://www.motorstv.com/tv-guide-uk?d=2014-06-07&h=3
  8. Same here, and wheelying is also easier on a GasGas.
  9. I concur. And of course not only Gubian but all riders and teams, also the ones that now only ride the European Championship.

    2012 Raga Idle

    Let's hope that not too much debris found its way in your engine.

    Works Majesty

    Shouldn't the big holes in the crankshaft be covered with something for maximum pump effect? One can still see the punch marks to keep them in place.
  12. If a semi-factory 4RT already weighed only 68kg, I'm sure the factory team, backed by a corporation like Honda, had no difficulty meeting the previous limit of 66kg.
  13. A trials bicycle is a very good idea, some top riders use them. At page 130 - 131 of this catalog are some useful exercises: http://www.offroadaction.net/catalogcorner/_catalogs/offroadaction-v3.pdf
  14. Great video and music! Thanks. I see no reason why Bou's bike would weigh an ounce/gram over the minimum weight limit.
  15. By all means, try the Alpinestars Jimmie, they're a good pair of boots and they offer better protection than the Gearne's. On the other hand it seemed to take ages to break them in, before they felt good on my feet. I felt more in touch with my bike when I had the Gearne's and they are more comfortable, they also seem to suit my wide feet better. As with trial helmets it's a personal thing, what's suits one person may not suit another
  16. Looks like the they already knew on friday that the sections would be very long for the time they would get: http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/topic/51110-wtc-2014-corsica-on-friday/
  17. Better lock next time.
  18. Just measure the diameter of the pivot, not in the groove where the circlips but the outside diameter of the pivot, this gives you the size of the circlip.

    Boots Help

    Almost nothing. I have Alpinestars now but will go back to Gearne for the comfort.
  21. Cool it dude, he never said anything like that.
  22. Just for info: GRO Gear Extreme comes closer to the ELF oil with 20cST @40°C
