Top improvement. Read somewhere the 300rr has a shorter rear brake pedal - is this correct and now standard with the further back footrest of the last year/

heard he was going to Fantic

looks nice. Chrorme front pipe?

Presume stop is not going backwards. When stop allowed but no reversing if you watched where somebody started hopping from and then where they finished up they could of gone back a few inches but you could never tell at which point they actually went back but they did -5's were hardly ever given. Also I found you had to use more markers and tape to stop riders splitting sections into sevral zones each being attempted at odd angles of attack rather than a straightforward route through the planned section. As said already the simple answer is that there isn't one!!

As I tried to say - let the sections take the marks. A momentary stop should not be the decider . If people take the Micky give them a five. if the section is cleanable with a proper no stop ride then no advantage is being gained by a pause or stop so is in effect is irrelevant unless we are being pedantic . It only an an issue when a pause to stop give the rider an advantage or is essential.

Modern auto boxes have clutch packs very similar to pre diaphragm trials clutches and epicyclic gear sets very similar to the small gears in trials bikes.

Trouble is it is all subjective. How many fives were given for bikes going backwards an inch when stop allowed was in? how many 1's were given for a split second stop in stop for a 1? When a bike sumps out momentarily and the rider carries in feet up or the rider hits a big step and then balances on the back wheel monetarily at the top feet up is that a five? if you hop and mess about then it is. If the section can't be ridden no stop then c of c is at fault. We all want to see good rides on challenging section not a series of fives fior a milli second stop on a flat turn. life unfortunately is a compromise .

Only exceptions I can see are All of a class do it - ie electric bikes young riders and is stated at the start of the trial by the C of C/organisers. A beginner who is allowed to do it but no award - again agreed by C of C A rider who is last to come through and is a lap down - to allow observers to pack up - again in reality they are far enough off the pace to be no award. A bunch of experts hanging back to ride a stream twice after everybody else would not be permitted. Anybody deliberately doing it to avoid queues or gain and advantage should be deemed no award

Strange - they appear to have failed in different places.. The mounting hole on the top picture looks a little fretted as may be a bolt loose but bottom looks to be just split.

Possibly could be a potential recall - safety critical part etc. Bought out component so maybe not as rigorously tested as a genuine Montesa/Honda part ??

4rt = fuel injection and Honda build quality. Other than that I think you need to try each as some suit one and not the other . Honda are offering 0% at the moment in U.K. ?

Anybody seen any info on 2018 montesa sticker changes or colours yet?

Bit offensive - what's your point. We set out out btc with flowing sections and observers and riders are briefed to try and get consistency. We try and tell that it's the sections that take the marks so no need to be overzealous on the moment stop. If riders take the micky then they deserve a five lots of people put lots of hours in unpaid - all we can do is our best.

I think you would struggle to find section that would allow such a varied ability level without compromising either the top level or the lower levels. How many riders would you have competing at any one time - with all those classes would be up 100 riders - I think queuing would be an issue over 3 laps. Good youth A can compete in full BTC as can good females. Double headers are good for travel but means club officials have to commit to 2 days observing etc. Maybe have 2 rounds close by - to reduce travel cost .

Entry wise? Organisation or section severity?

First Question is why? What are you hoping to achieve or is it just something you want to do? Your wallet could be lots of pounds lighter and that's all.

And on the 8th day god made sections

Honda are going to develop 1cylinder of the hybrid McLaren/ Honda F1 engine as evidently the soft lower power output will be spot on for trials. Watch out for the Spanish dream team of fernando alonso and Toni bou!!

I heard they had the power and engine response spot on with the prototype fuel injected bike - just finalising the jet that squirts fuel direct onto the floor to maintain the beta tradition.

Fuel pump or filter.. how old is bike.? check previous posts on cleaning filter - the small sock one on end of filter.

Does it start again after o few mins stopped? When it starts playing up does it die on full throttle but ok on tick over- then gradualllg get worse when you appply the throttle?

sounds like fuel pump or blocked fuel filter sock filter. check posts on fuel pump fixes

If floating disc then try some silicon on the top hat spacers to take out some play. Check non of the disc bolts have come loose catching the fork/caliper as tyre goes round. as other say -check wheel bearings and head bearing etc

?Have been using same gasket many times by doing this . have also used a bit of sealant if a gasket tears just to make sure.
