Would just do tank first - then try injector but never heard of one .

Well impressed with my SIDI boots Offer more protection than Gaerne and much more durable. Cheaper too but that never crossed my mind when I bought them - honest

That’ll be the really cold trial - just thawed out. look up trials training wales - acu affiliated club that organise training in South Wales for adults and kids

Fuel pump. see if you can swap a tank Does it get worse as it warms up?

Hi Join Rhondda club if not already done so. Also look out for Trials Training Wales events. Neath Trial this Sunday near Aberdulais and Welsh Champ in Merthy the week after. Go along and watch and chat to officails and riders. You soon find a gang to join in with.

yep - done the same. Normal fault with that is only on flat out throttle (big climb etc). If you ride on normal throttle does it run ok or is bottom end lumpy. As you have tried an alternative Throttle body I would be tempted to try swap tank/fuel pump assy. As maybe failing under load. Does it get worse as the bike get warmer? Earth wire at the bottom of the coil can also corrode =- try a fresh extra earth wire from coil to engine bolt. Best of luck

I do all the cleaning and oiling. Clean air filter every ride, brakes out and cleaned every ride. Bikes never an issue and get good value on resale. I also service my van and cars and wash my riding gear and I also wash every day. No issues through negligence is just good luck in my book not a methodology , If your bike is dirty when you work on it all that muck is getting in the threads and workings etc

When I swapped to the 300rr Mont I changed a load of wheel / Tyre combinations and weighed them before and after - sad I know. I was going to post results on TC but seem to recall the inaccuracy of the measuring method - (bathroom scales - the better half was out) and the minimal difference I recall meant the findings were less exciting than I had thought at the start. basic conclusion was that the X11s are heavier tha X lights. The Wheel on a std 260 Mont are heavier than the ones on a 2008 250 and also the 300rr. Seem to recall there was about 1/2 to 1 kg between the worse combination and the best - with the weather looking a bit ify I may get chance to post the results. But if you are comparing Mitas with Dunlop with X11 then I maybe the slight weight difference isn't your greatest concern - if you want the best and lightest as said above -Michelin X light.

Second time Micheal brown did his knees in ssdt Park ferme I recall - I guess agrivated original injury

Just watched the zip tie method on you tube . if that’s the easy way I don’t want to see the hard way ? as part of our 2 day trials training camp I do a tyre change and some basic maintenance . its surprising what as well travelled riders we take fiir granted that the newcomer has no idea about . remeber y&g having a tyre change comp in club night - it was a tubed rear off the bike . think glen scholey or maybe john Lampkin doing it in under 3 mins - security bolts and all!!

Sorry I forgot !!!!

I was there and watched that for real - looked nasty at the time . as a btc clerk of course it’s a fine line between taking marks and hurting the top boys. The move to no stop and no minders has reduced the severity of section I have to put on. Spectators may think it’s not as exciting but has certainly helped me sleep at night.

Indoor mud - that’s the answer . need to bring back it’s a knockout elastic rope and fairy liguid on plastic sheets . lets see bou and raga hop there way out of that while sliding backwards with an elastic band tied to their waste and some northern commentator laughing more than they can speak . bring it on!!

Why not use tyre levers ??

DID rim and X light don't even need a beader -just pop it on a blow it up. Full tank of air and no valve 100% with a used tyre - might need two goes now and again with a brand new one. Try and store the tyres with the bead turned out -helps get a mechanical seal with the rims so compressor can blow it up.

The 300 rr pedal is shorter if you can get a part number can get from a Honda dealer - not sure on cost

Got trials central stickers on my forks but think you gave them to me ?

Have used a variety of the style of gloves indicated above and are great for messing about or I find good when marking out as the extra padding / grip helps when sticking flags in but for out and out trials riding find them all a bit thick or as mentioned too grippy. I have used some of the cheaper proper trials gloves to good effect and about 1/2 the price of the branded latest ones. I treat gloves and tyres the sane - why spend thousands on a bike and scrimp on the things that connect you to the controls or the bike to the ground . Even if you spent £30 on gloves and only lasted a year it’s just over 50 p a weekend !

I always used to clean this on mine and oil as per any other filter. Seem to recall the dellorto carb on these earlier monts was different to others on the idle adjustment - adjust air not fuel or vice versa and would freeze in the cold . The 2000 on 315s had a updated carb I seem to recall

Would suggest taking throttle body off and checking all clean. Likewise all electrical connections -split and spray with wd etc .Kill button - lead etc Check fuel tank and injector. The 4rt is quiet durable and can cope with deep water, rain, and being jet washed etc The Mont is also quite clever and may not spark if something isn't correct elsewhere - water in air sensor etc. Good luck

The 2 bikes have kick start on opposite side which maybe a factor . The mont dues need a certain type of kick which can be difficult for people with fishy knees . maintainece wise the mont is no more complex and very well made . efi very efficient if a more trail based bike is wanted

Air filter changed after every ride for me on every bike I have owned . carb out at least one a month until I switched to fuel injection seal under mudguard if possible and put some mesh on any vents on the mudguard good luck

Probably going to have this post raised against me by the media in 8 yrs time but I must be old as it’s definitely funny and also very sad at the same time ?

Couple of options to park your bike. Anybody any other suggestions

Very easy to have a house built on sand - no point being able to do splats if you can’t do a flat muddy turn without dabbing. Try and understand your flaws before going so you can have an idea what you want to get out. I had been riding for years at a reasonable ability but when we set up project 2000 training in west South Wales my riding improved by understanding body weight on footrests, increased use of your knees, correct stance etc
