I have been led too beleive ATF ( automatic trans fluid) is the best thing for these beasts and is what I use along with most of the Beta owners in the R2wtrials clan I beleive! and have great results, plus it`s cheap! As for your slight drag as Markymark has said I would take this as normal on the stand I`ve not come across many bikes that you can put on a stand in gear with the engine running and stop the wheel with just the clutch, as long as you can stop with the brake and the engine isn`t stalling or trying too stall too much then all should be well As for your adjustment I think you`ll find your main adjustment up on the lever that little adjuster screw with lock nut, wind him in or out mainly for your bite point adjustment more than anything though

Yep this is my method use a large `G` clamp with the static side and a peice of timber covering just over the rim (spreads the load and something too push against) then another peice of timber on the screw side but just before the rim (sat on top of it you would) then slowly tighten clamp watching everything is in the right place then hey presto of the bead she goes! Another way of re-seating if you are like me and don`t like spending money is too put a ratchet strap around the circumferance of the tyre and tighten just enough to spread the tyre and inflate

Cool hope it all goes back together right for you happy riding

ah ok maybe I should explain my idea a little more then! you could put a very thin layer of foam on the inside or just a thick material? and then glue the cap into the boot using something like evo stick impact glue? Anyway it`s not something i`d ever do personally but just an idea taken from someone elses thoughts? i`ve never personally had too many problems with crushing my toes, but do get many cuts and bruises all over my body from my through your self at it riding style!!! but I don`t think a full suit of armour would look quite right

problem there is the ONLY protection you then have is steel toe caps no ankle support or shin protection etc plus as an ex wearer of these boots ( for work reasons) they are somewhat of a loose fit, I think you would have a lot more troubles riding with these than its worth. Although you can pick up said rigger boots fairly cheap most places and for that fact any steal toe caps are cheap maybe it`d be worth having a go at disecting a pair to see if you could slip the toe caps into your current boots? maybe this will only work with worn/ streched boots but a thought none the less?

I have just had a very similar problem (without the flames!) with my Rev 3 and after stripping the caliper down found one of the pistons had a very slight mark on it plus the seals were past best so I had a quick look and found the whole kit (4 pistons with seals and the little `o` ring center seal) for the AJP caliper here for a very good price ( scroll down a bit)easy enough job but a bit of a ball ache bleading the thing by yourself!

I should have taken a picture I know but I forgot about this thread at the time! I`ve just been round my mates house which it is important too mention has a fair few bikes and his parents are on holiday! but as I walked in the front door there was his RGV250 half stripped down then I get too the kitchen too find a TDR250 that he bought yesterday completely stripped down bar removing the engine! Which I ended up haveing too `help` get out (in other words he stands back too make sure nothing is in my way and directs!!!) Thing is as these are both flat out strokers will he get that tell tale stench out of the house before the parents come home?

I`m currently just washing boots the same time and way I do the bike (hose pipe and bucket of soapy water with brush and sponge) and then stuff with newspaper (the boots not the bike!) and leave too dry out for a few days then applying a thin layer of Daytona leather polish (acquired from BVM) This is giving me excellent results water just runs off then in a bead fashion! shame the mud don`t do the same!!!

I`ll be there

The joys of 10mb broadband but seriously though well worth saving that clip good playtime fun

Well it had to be done! have to get Kev on it too!

Think that ones for a Gasser though but yes I agree it would be nice eevn if just for a bit of bling

I booked my ticket today Will most probably be travelling up in convoy up R2WTrials, Twhy etc Can`t wait

Haha I can`t wait!

This truely makes no sense at all???????

Yep none of it looked right from the start

Ouch broken nose time!!!

I think nearly two weeks is more than a few days!!! especially as he lied about when he posted it! Being self employed imagine how much money I could have lost waiting around fro this too be delivered if I wasn`t in the situation that I am

Yeah I must admit I probably should get one but trying too be a scrooge (house deposit needed) at the moment so hopefully I can be a little prepared for any trials upcoming and get the job done throughout the week
