Found this by accident - but nicely sums up this thread... https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=vjFeC7g6_40

I had the same issue on my 06 and was advised to strip down the loom to the basics, (i.e. cutting out the unused wiring to the lights, horn and indicators, etc). (this was a forum topic many years ago!) I didn't really understand why this should resolve the problem, but it has as it has run well ever since.

Yes you can, but an Alp is a lot heavier than a trials bike and you will be at a disadvantage. I use mine for LDT's (long distance trials) where it is ideal, and for running around locally and some green lane runs. The main downside is that road work ruins trials tyres.

Congratulations Ross - Well deserved win.

Are organising clubs still able to add a trail bike class if they so choose??

It could also be poor fuel flow from the tank, so check the tap and filter if the above does not fix it.

BVM do an extra thick rim tape with a valve integrated into it. I had the same problem with air leaking through the spokes for ages, and this fixed it.

The 'old' West of England MC website (www.westofenglandmc.co.uk) seems to have disappeared. Does anyone know if they have a new site?

Another possible cause is simply not enough fuel getting into the carb to support sustained full throttle. It could be either the filter in the tank blocked, or the 'o'ring seal in the tap being displaced. Nick

Try a set of Barnett Plates (www.barnettclutches.com) part no #302-20-10001. Inexpensive and worked a treat on my 325. Nick

Well instead of moping about having no trial to go to today I and the boys went to the local Remembrance Day parade. Huge turnout, lots of people we hadn't seen for a while, very moving at times, especially when we saw how important it all was to the old and not so old soldiers who attended. A great couple of hours, finished off in the pub. I know where I will be next Remembrance Sunday, and it won't be at a trial. Everyone to their own, but if you have never been why not give it a try next year. NickJ

Is the timing right? Check that the flywheel key has not sheared, or as in the Bult I bought, if it has a key at all!

I have used the cheap Halfords wireless speedo on several two stroke trials bikes for years without any problems.

A bit basic but check you have a good flow of fuel to the carb. I have twice had the 'o' ring in the fuel tap jump out of it's groove and reduce the flow so that the bike ran OK until you opened the throttle fully for more than a few seconds.
