    Trs Clutch Effort

    Buying jets for a keihin? ?? Only kidding Steve

    Anyone tried a csp sump guard ? Gas Gas standard guard is better than the sherco I had or the 4rt but I still manage to bend it.

    Look at the topic entitled remove my kickstart in this forum

    10 mins should do it

    It shouldn't be MX loud. However the middle box is just an empty box. There's no baffle tube in there, it relys on circulation to create back pressure. The tail pipe I'd soak in neat petrol then take the bike for a long high rpm run

    I usually have to kick the bike over with the lanyard off. Compression to push against helps

    I'd agree with you but possibly because I'm not an engineer either ? The only time I have had to replace the spindle and bushes was on a bike I bought second hand. Other than that one instance the spindle and plastic bushes have lasted a couple of years. My 2009 did the ssdt twice so it's not causing premature wear in my experience. Is it designed to flex a little?

    Yes mines the same

    I think they are meant to be like that from memory, I was puzzled first time I stripped one out 10 years ago but haven't took much notice since. I think a combination of the crankcases and the spindle being pulled up against the other side of the frame is sufficient to stop flex. There's definitely not a spacer to go in there and you have the plastic cup in the right location. I'll check mine tonight for you

    I'd start by cleaning the carb, it may just be blocked jets or a damaged hose

    Guys why is riding in the river banned and who buy ?

    Oil looks like milk shake as soon as it's mixed with coolant so I don't think water pump is leaking. Does this model have a two part cylinder head ? Could be the o ring beneath the spark plug ?

    Rotax motors don't seem to rev cleanly but if you can master riding in higher gears it's not really an issue. The torque is incredible and it's almost impossible to stall one

    With hindsight Fantic seem to have gone in the wrong direction after the 200 Miranelli motor. The 240 was heavier, the 300 heavier again. Remember being amazed how Steve Robson in the North East could ride his 200 after getting off a 349 Mont. It now looks like Fantic were making there bikes more like the bikes of their competitors when their own product was better for the majority of riders.

    Before the minimum weight rule was introduced a foreign magazine tested ragas factory gas gas and Toni's 4rt , the montesa was lighter. Why necessary? Well Raga often isn't that far behind so the bike in standard form must not be competitive at that level. The test I'm talking about was around 2007 / 2008. Everything including the crankcases was different.

    Have a look in gas gas thread for state of play in America

    From experience France , Sweeden and Germany based on experience of others. Parts of Italy and Spain. I'd be surprised if it was permitted in Switzerland. Not sure if it's allowed in Belgium?

    Various euro countries have banned bikes in streams as have the USA. I'm all in favour of fuel injection and electric bikes for this reason. It's individual countries doing this not the EU.

    Entry is first come first served so you need to be quick. If you are coming from the states what are you doing about a bike?
  20. baldilocks
    Yes great trial. Proper no stop sections single route like ssdt, but a little more laid back in terms of time limits and section severity. It's almost 800 miles from calais. Jus put santigosa trial into Google it should bring up club Web page. Lots of video on YouTube. Entries out around end of feb

    Reliability

    baldilocks replied to dwb5151's topic in TRS

    Nobody can tell you it will last for two years as they haven't been available that long. However my friend Albert rode one in the ssdt, his only issue was he chewed up the wheel spindle with a badly fitting Allen key. It doesn't mean it's perfect but lots of new bikes don't get round the first SSDT yet go on to be successful.

    It's a long time since I rode it but riding the bike is the best thing. You also need a good recovery rate, so after a long section you can still ride quick whilst getting your breath back. Try cycling hills or running for this. Personally cramp in my forearms was always the first area to cause a problem so I used to use the spring triggers you squeeze and also roll your wrists to turn a broom shank with a weight on a string attached. You need to find you weakest areas and focus on them

    Do you know anyone else ?

    Spent last night riding a 240 SWM. My friend was on his 4rt. Difference in weight in reality is about 30kg. Difference in riding is significant but in part due to much better suspension brakes and clutch on the mont. That rotax motor still produces phenomenal torque though ?

    I've quit trials, here are some videos of me riding trials sections on an enduro bike ? I think it's sad our sport loses young riders who clearly still enjoy riding sections
