  1. Being a 2 stroke water will most likely have got into the gearbox as well so would suggest draining and giving that a good swill out to.

    As for it not running still I don't think blowing electrics with an air line will fix them? But shall leave those suggestions to the more knowledgeable

  2. Nice one Ian :thumbup: wheels his bike out once every 6 months, hoofs the broom over it and fills it with petrol out the lawn mower and tonks us all every time :thumbup: god help us if he ever gets a new one. Next time I will get him to do some of his hopping back down a big hill feet up and sideways hops show, got to be seen to be beleived ;) I think young Barry saw him doing it at the dishes

    Yep I saw that :rotfl: it certainley wasn't natural to have that amount of balance! must of gone backwards about 20 foot hopping all over the place!

  3. Run it in using more oil at a mix of 100/1 and take it steady not screwing it for 5 tanks full! I was told this by john lampkin when i got my new bike

    More oil I would agree with but surely 100:1 is a lot less? I would try 50:1 for about 3 full tanks then start working your way back too 75:1

  4. Thanks for sharing that. Great pictures, great skills but kept thinking and i know i am probably on my own here what has this got to do with Trials?

    Fantastic Circus act but Trials riding? Errr

    Good to watch though. Thanks :(

    Balance, control and skill....Sounds like trials to me :wacko: great clip by the way :blink:

  5. When I rebuilt the top end on the '04 I asked Lampkins about torque settings for the cyclinder and head. The response was there aren't any from the factory but somewere in the region of..... I can't remember the figures but if you really want a figure rather than just using "feel" give em a shout on Monday. But like Bob said for the sump washer just nip it up enough then a tiny tiny bit more

  6. The driver "Barry Johnson" said this:-

    " "It was one small step for mankind"...............They say no "pain no gain" and this is true cos i am going to gain a canny bill for the repairs. The bottom line is we are both going to recover and thats all that matters

    On a lighter note; when i was in A+E the doctor came in and asked what had happened.

    I explained it went like this;

    I was doing 220KPH down the road, he said what type of road, i said single track back road.Then i took off on a jump and flew 60 metres and landed heavily... He said "your in the wrong hospital mate the mental hospital is 5 miles up the road "

    Brilliant response!

  7. my profile has been hacked recently so i am just warning the rest of you to watch out for these n*b heads!!!! ;)

    -it wasn't me posting those crap topics

    "those" posts and the related times all looked like a drunken post frenzy to me!

  8. Nice one Barry :banana2: never buy the TMX as its cack, but might just pop down the newsagent tomorrow and buy a copy. How many shillings did they give ya for the pictures? or did they give you a years free subscription?

    Nothing, to be fair I offered them for free I don't mind that as I only take them for my enjoyment. The fact everyone else can easily enjoy them via the magic and speed of the internet is an added bonus. Lets face it I got the camera for Christmas and never really played with camera's much before hand so I really can't be asking for money!
