  1. Sounds to me like the lower end is just flooded. One kick and it wets the plug. Pull the plug and maybe the head pipe too! You can kick it through without the plug. Be careful of a fire. Been more than one bike I`ve seen go up in flames.
  2. I have always seen the Gaerne came on the big side. Seems I always got a 10. Wore 11 in tennis shoes and 10.5 in boots. Sidi`s were always small, but the better boot. Nowadays I cannot wear the slim Sidi, but welcome the comfortable Gaerne.
  3. That bike is very clean. It could have all the restrictors still! It ran like a 125 without these removed. You have to take off the header, as there is a washer plugging the pipe. The air box had a lid that stopped most of the air flow. And the least of all was the end off the mid-pipe which had to be ground off with a dremel. Are you in the states?

    Squeaky Brakes

    Brake fluid ruins the pads. Either get new pads or you have to burn the oil off. A propane torch seems to be the best method.
  5. Since no one has replied, I will tell you the cheapest way. Just take a drill and drill out the plastic throttle till it works. I have done up to 1/4 inch. (6mm) But then again I have dozens of old throttle assemblies.
  6. I laugh at people saying how hard there hydraulic clutch is. All the years we had a cable clutch, learning to hop and do nose wheelies on the old air cooled bikes!
  7. You might want to check with who you got the parts from. Unless they were used.
  8. That`s within spec. You upgraded the cover, so you are now using mineral oil?
  9. A Montesa is not a Gasser. After eight months you have not found a fellow rider`s opinion. Yes super smooth. Montesa generally have always been that way.
  10. So was the finger height correct?
  11. The `92 would rev out good for a trials bike, but maybe not as much as you are looking for. If the bike has cleared out the excess fuel, then the key way should not be an issue.
  12. 2014 was the first year American Honda sold a Montesa trials bike. No parts available on this side of the pond that are not brought in from other means.
  13. Just guessing this does not belong to a trials rider? The 315 was a great bike. If it runs good, just patch the muffler or the FMF all purpose muffler is easily adaptable. I`m sure the price is somewhat negotiable. Trouble is we do not have many used bikes available in the USA.
  14. The `92 came with a Mikuni. Should have about a 140 main and 27.5 pilot. If your carb is set right, I would pull the flywheel and check the keyway as they broke often.
  15. Been 14 years and people still buy them.???
  16. Everybody used to complain that the early Sherco`s had the lightist clutch. I have tried several times on bikes with very hard clutches to remove the springs. Two things happened. The clutch was easier and the clutch would slip. Usually the clutch would slip at the worst possible moment! Glad to hear it is working again.
  17. There was no manual, but everything is on this site. Oil, forks, complete video of bike overhaul. More than a manual.
  18. Looks like you are fighting your stance a bit. You should not just fall over in the turn as you are doing. Get the outside knee out and rotate the hips more in the direction you are going. Keep at it till it comes natural. Video is a great tool.
  19. The Sherco clutch was a light pull from the start, put the springs back in.
  20. Trouble was, you stopped three times and got a three and never dabbed! Then the rider argued each one.
  21. The `EDITION` was a continuation of the standard 2001 GASSER for 2002 and 2003 after the PRO model came out. Had nothing to do with 1994 to 2000models.
  22. If you are wanting modern, look for something forgiving. The best would be a 200 Beta or maybe a 250 Sherco. They all feel good in the parking lot. But soft useable power is much easier to control and results in less points!
  23. If you try it with out real tools, you have a good chance of messing something up. A while back a friend broke a clutch basket, just trying to change a shift shaft on a Sherco. 30 minute job which cost 4 times as it should. I`ve done loads of bikes. I learned right away that a rattle gun was the way to go. But then again I worked at a shop.
  24. Any and all info can be found here. http://www.trialspartsusa.com/tech.html
