You are correct. The Gassser is the best bike in the parking lot. Honestly it does some things very well, but track is not one of them. Unless you are trying to be a top rider, ride something else that will give you a better score. That`s been the case since the first Pro.
-
Think you have too many numbers. Sounds like a 40x52x8 will work fine.
-
You can not just start kicking a Pro as that is why the kick start pawl breaks over time. Take a look at a parts diagram. All other bikes it is a round gear. This thing is just a short piece. You have to feel the engagement first.
-
You just can`t kick a Pro. You have to engage the gear, bring it to top center, make sure the gears are engaged and give it a very quick kick. It`s a very small gear, only about a third round of a normal gear.
-
The initial ramp of the throttle is quite different between the two. Hard to say if on the SWM there would be much difference.
-
You put it together wrong. Two gaskets would screw up the water pump gear.
-
I always ran a ten up front and never used first.
-
Are you sure that you don`t need to pull the spring down as the cap threads on the rod.
-
When learning it is best to do circles tighter and tighter and then figure eights. At first just throttle control. But to answer the brake question, use both lightly in unison to keep a proper balance. Using just one causes jerking motions which results in bad habits. Watch an event. The lower riders will use just one brake and the results are sometimes comical. Watch a good rider, everything is nice and smooth.
-
I was going to agree with the Pro comments, then you ramble on about levers rotating during crashes and that is the factories fault?
-
The strike occurs just trying to post. If you do not hold the curser low enough, it can hit the font size etc.
-
The hole is small. If nothing else pull the rubber end off the throttle cable for a make shift funnel. Also the skilled just pour the oil on a knife blade and guide it in the hole.

Thanks for starting this thread. I have recently acquired a donor frame. The idea is to swap back and forth frames depending on what rules I decide to ride. Our nationals have an open vintage class. Air cooled and twin shock, no hydraulics is about it for the bike. Perfect bike for the open vintage class.

Sounds like he has another issue. It`s not the breather tube. I would be looking for small cracks.
-
The pilot circuit flows through two passages. One straight uo to the slide and the other in front of the slide. Both need to work. Also the o-ring on the main jet holder. Recently I re-cleaned a friends carb after he did, the pilot was still plugged up.
-
Sounds like you have bad pads or some other issue. You could also just try the water trick. Get the pads and rotor really hot and pour water on them.
-
By the way the kick starter is probably the most time consuming component to deal with. Be patient. The video does wonders. Also under Gas Gas Pro Tech on Jim`s web site. Is a factory bulletin on engine problems. Inside this is the timing specs for the kick start shaft. It is a word document, so I cannot give you the link to it.

Go to http://www.trialspartsusa.com/index.html. Go to the videos and the kickstarter is in one of the engine rebuild video`s. The usa gasser owners usually getone of these on a cd with our bike.
-
No you have to wind it with the kick starter. Look up Jim Snell`s you tube video`s as he actually shows the how to. Or try trialspartsusa.
-
You likely also adjusted the lever adjustment too tight. The piston has to travel and release fully. Good luck. I too like the overnight wait.
-
Just another our note, our club has always had good women riders. We`ve had some that rode the Scottish and several more that has ridden the Women`s rounds and several times the TDN team. Not bad from a small state in the USA. Keep at it, you never know how good you might end up being!
-
Great read! Keep at it. I was 12 and Won first time out in 1972. Started riding Expert in 1974. My son at sixteen just won his first Expert trials last month. Trials has been so much fun, and watching my son ride is even better. It is quite addicting if you keep at it!!

Find some one with an air gun. No special tool needed.
-
Hard to tell by the vid, but it sounds like main bearings.
