  1. Next time you remove cover. Remove kickstarter, remove case bolts, remove case, (Leave clutch line attached. leave waterpump intact.) Just zip tie the kickstater hole to the front exhaust pipe to hold the case. It`s less than ten minutes on and off. Always remember that thin washer on the kick start shaft.
  2. You only have about an inch to go up until you might have other issues. Like all the cables!
  3. http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/topic/45829-handlebar-risers/?hl=%2Bbar+%2Brisers
  4. There are conversion kits all over the bay. Just had a friend do a ty80. http://www.ebay.com/itm/HYDRAULIC-CLUTCH-LEVER-MASTER-CYLINDER-PIT-BIKE-MX-LV12-/140735772594?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item20c48177b2&vxp=mtr
  5. Sounds like you just need to fix your brake.
  6. Yes, a one spring suspension needs the spring replaced more often to stay working properly.
  7. Having power and trail gears are two different things. You need a pipe to wake up the motor! Maybe more! should have just said you wanted to blow by that lowly 2 stroke!
  8. I just checked a couple, some are better than others upon close inspection.
  9. If you gear the ty80 down, the clutch feels almost like an auto. (You still need to use it to stop) Smallest c/s sprocket and a 50-54 rear.
  10. You must ride in no rocks, modern sprockets bend easily.
  11. being an `08 a frame swap could of happened.
  12. You are still trying the wrong set-up. If 1st and second is worthless, then it is not steep. should have went with the 12.
  13. We`ve come full circle once again with design change. Could also be with the new weight limits it is now not necessary to cut every gram, even at the cost of performance. I`ve only seen one hand in the sprocket in over 40 years. People that are worried about people being injured should talk about proper catching of the bike. Front tire, front forks or handlebars is the only place to grab a bike.
  14. Yes you will! I assume it`s Ty, congrats on his win. If any bike will break, it will be a kid on a 125 to do it. Glad to see the class stay alive after being empty last year.
  15. The pads are very small in the first place. I`ve seen long time riders do this. Are you sure you just don`t need new pads?
  16. 223 and 224 are correct. Click on the picture, it shows the 1805.
  17. That is true. The Montesa uses 9 bolts and the 4 stroke Beta 9 also. The problem is the two stroke only uses 3 bolts. One bad hit and it`s done.
  18. Too be honest most of the trials population is quite old. An affordable Electric start model with upgrades to be able to purchase depending on riders needs. Have a competition model and the clubman model with accessories available.
  19. I myself have not delt with the new guy. From everybody I talk to he is very good. I had a good relationship with Ron. I could get a hold of him and get things done. The internet sure has changed how parts flow. I started selling my old stock on Ebay and am surprised how much has gone to Europe.
  20. Any two stroke can run backwards. Have you grabbed the flywheel a good shake to see if the mains are bad?
  21. Bright side is it`s new enough that you can buy just the starter pawl and idler gear. Make sure the missing teeth did not travel and get stuck in the large primary gear. Just a little metal in between the teeth can make a hell of a racket!
  22. I had a friend buy a Sherco at the world round last year. Before his son ever rode it, it was stole in his drive way locked as exactly you describe in the back of the truck. I`m a firm believer that vans are the best way to go. No seeum, no stealem`. I purchased two folding locks from the Yamaha dealer I worked at in 1985. I still use them daily. They are similar to the Kryptonite, maybe stronger. They have a chain like swivel every 8 inches. Easily stored and easy to use. While traveling I also use a cable around a seat base. Bikes locked front and rear. Too bad the Yamaha locks have not been available for years!
