You need to read the blog as his bike has some mods that are not original. I have installed lots of Wes products and none needed creative fitting.

Bounce take a look. http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/topic/54537-kick-starter-issues-2011-gg-280/

Look like the old Fox Shocks,

The easiest way to start it without fixing anything is to lay it on the side with the bars touching the ground. Just a few seconds will do. When you pick it up, make sure a little fuel did leak out. It should start within two kicks. You never mentioned where you are from. So pilot circuit could be plugged. Or larger jets or the float level fixed. I started doing this years ago to bikes that sat too long. I usually would jump up and down on the bike if it was a newbie and add a few four letter words. It was always a good laugh when the bike would start the first kick after the owner had worn himself out trying to kick it to death.

Nice cover! Where`s the snow? And Glenn what is wrong with the cylinder fins?

It`s best to have a relationship with the closest dealer. If no dealer, I have always dealt with the source. http://www.trialspartsusa.com/how-to-order.html Why pay for shipping twice, this is the USA parts importer.

Because most Honda`s do not have a hydraulic clutch, would be my guess.

Seems people are getting spoiled on all the electric start dirt bikes. The 4rt is still one of the easiest starters.

Just buy the replacement a get back to riding. The one you have made will not do 13 years.

The Ty has two shift shafts. The left side can wear, but there is an adjustment behind the clutch on the other. Check this out. http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/topic/54485-ty175c-will-not-shift-past-first-gear/

You actually should have the cylinder measured before you buy anything. And you might get more response in the Montesa forum.

The Yamaha powered Scorpa is a strange bird. It still has a cable type clutch arm with an added slave cylinder. You should probably re post in the Scorpa thread.

That is funny. A tool to tell you to clean your system. On a side note we live on the steps of Hell. No extra H2O around here! I carry water just to make it to the first section! I do agree on the Red Rubber grease. Everything else is not needed if you keep up your bike. But I do have a burnt up rear caliper to pull apart!

No, they are supposed to be the same. That bush looks pretty hammered.

The clutch pack has to be measured to see if it is within specs. If the clutch pull is heavy then you have to check the finger height. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjoj7n74G0s

Yes , as long as they are not damaged. Clean everything well and re-assemble. Do not loose the small o ring between the halves. Of course you have to bleed the system.

Tell the whole story. Was the clutch working when you bought it? What have you done since? When did the problem start?

You need to take them all the way apart to clean them properly. Bite the bullet and remove the caliper. The pistons will come out with a little air. No nightmare at all. Just do it right the first time.

If a motor is working (climbing) it will run. For peace off mind pull apart the water pump. Depends on the year of Rev 3, but you could have a corrosion issue.

You have tennis elbow, which totally sucks. I have had it in both arms badly for the last five years. Many so called fixes. If it just started, get it checked out and take a little rest.

Most bikes you have to measure to get the right oil height any way. A drain is actually obsolete with modern forks.

Your bars look fine, but I agree you always look forward on the bike. You might try shortening the bars, say 12mm on each end. Would give you some arm length back a little.

Glad it`s almost fixed. But I`d bet the shaft is slightly bent. Good luck.

You are back at the beginning. I highly doubt the new cover is a problem. You never took the bike apart. The part you left out on this thread is the bike did only shift in the first four gears. Do not knock a product publicly when it is your bike that is broke!
