Thanks.

I Agree with digga. Fit a good quality non O-ring MX chain. Will last for years if looked after. In my experience, lightweight trials chains are rubbish.

This link details my solution. there was a bit of fabrication involved unfortunately. Bike normally starts first or second kick now. I also have the choice of either the 12v solution or the capacitor. I imagine that this is the caveman version of what OSSA has done on the 2014 models? http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/topic/44770-tr280i-in-matt-carbon-white-pearl/

Hi tomch I had exactly the same issue. As borus has suggested, it is likely you have a crack in the cylinder head at the rear. very hard to see especially when cold as it is in the o-ring groove. Crack expands when hot so you can heat the head with a hot air gun if you like to help reveal it. Clean it thoroughly first and use magnification. I had mine replaced under warranty. Sorted. Never had a problem since and I ride in Queensland Australia, so yes, its hot here too. Good luck.

Hope this helps. I used a flight battery. Compact and lite.

No not really. Most of the wiring is redundant anyway. I just determined what was what, trimmed out the unwanted ones (there are a lot of earth connections that go back to one main earth) and sealed of the ends with small shrink wrap. Then made up a new front loom to accommodate the battery, switch and capacitor. Now there is just one multi pin, waterproof, Deutsche connector linking everything to the main loom. I am surprised that OSSA use only one loom. It would make sense to have a simplified version when the bikes are being exported to countries where registration and on road use is not a option? Maybe what they should do is create a loom that is able to accommodate the inclusion of a battery and then perhaps include the battery??? But then I guess there is no need as it is just the odd bike that wont start huh!!!!

Thanks. I made the front number board so that I could mount both the capacitor and a 12v 2200mah rechargeable flight battery. A two way switch is mounted that allows me to start from cold using the battery and then switch to the capacitor.Bike always starts first or second kick with this system. When warm i can start it bare foot using the battery option! It was a bitch to start without a battery. The battery lasts a couple of months before I need to recharge it. I also removed all of the unnecessary wiring from the loom so that now there is just one waterproof, multi-pin connector that connects everything.

No graphics kit available sorry. Although I'm sure it could be produced as one. It's done in paint. The decals are custom made and the carbon is an immersed image over a black base coat. The white pearl and decals are applied on top of the carbon and then it is all finished in a matte clear. Frame and forks are finished in gloss. The carbon is done by a company called Immersion Imaging. Here is some more examples of their work. http://www.facebook.com/immersionimaging
