Just searched back through TC threads and the min weight limit was 70KG in 2014 - assuming it hasn't changed then 5kg to add to a standard TRS. Be interesting to know the full story Did they not add weight at all in which case if above is correct at 70kg min weight was never going to pass? Did they weigh bike with full tank and not add enough -as happened to others? Did some weight fall off ? Did they use pound shop scales? Must be gutting to travel that distance and compete only for DQ

3.5 irc ok Vee rubber not ok Try vee rubber at 3.5 but in reality best place in the bin if you want anytimg like trisls grip. 1 psi is nearly 1/4 variation so expect a difference.

Have you not seen inside a Yorkshireman's wallet

always use a gauge (good quality low pressure one) and check a few times and go with the average or until you get repeatability. Check when you unload the bike and just before you start and even after first lap - especially on a warm day. Avoid parking the bike in the sun and then checking tyres or you will run the risk of letting too much air out

[quote name="martin belair" post="431824" timestamp The Jitsie should never be used in dry or dusty conditions. We have found that it lets dust into the air box. Sorry Jitse. Just hold it up to the light and see how much light shines through.[/ Is this with an oiled filter?

Mitani is longer than std, possibly longer that cts one but not sure without measuring

Friend has one and looks nice and performing ok at present. I have mitani one which is much better than std

Junk the std as its a pain to clean and refit every trial. Dont think the std should be run with no cage but not surr why. Aftermarket ones seem similar to each other and much easier. Dont know about performance to std

The brain may be as insane as you lot but the body cries enough !!! 4 laps on the twin shock in an easy trial wears me out

Find brick wall Stand in front facing it. Get farmer friend to unload muck spreader at you while pointing a hose with ice cold water. Rock head back and forth gently making contact with the wall Continue for 5 hours Well that's what it felt like last time I rode !!

The boiling point of a liquid changes with pressure. Lower pressure lower boiling point and vice versa. As the fuel down stream of the pump is at higher pressure would be surprised if it would boils ???

I recall a post were the opposite had happened when overfilling the engine oil - pushed a seal out but seems strange to go from gearbox to engine - sports lawyer seems a good explanation though especially if at some point had be overfilled pushing right crank seal out. Might just need right cover taking off and se if you can get access to the seal. Best of luck

In a nut shell - which ever you like the look of best is the one to go for - if cash is not the determining factor -which for a Yorkshire man may be a strange concept. Also depends if buying brand new or second hand at what age you considering. Latest new repsols have better tyres out of the box but a std even with a tyre swap will be cheaper. I have 2015 std bike but older bro wanted a Repsol purely because that's what he had always wanted. In the sections you will not be able to tell any difference. All the best

You do o change the range of speed available in any gear -the speed of the bike at tickover (min rpm available) will be slower on a bike with lower gear etc. Most people use min rpm a lot more than they ever use max rpm in any given gear. I guess also mechanical advantage is changed so with a lower geared bike the effect of the engine torque will be greater at the back wheel. This maybe enhances the feel of a bike being easier to ride with lower gearing -easier to ride just off the throttle and not needing to slip the clutch to build up torque. I like stock gearing and use first for majority of sections. But then I always have used speed over ability to get through sections! The Mont with good low down torque and a long rev range allows first gear to be maxed out

The 4rt frame and cycle parts are lighter than a 315R so the combined weight should be less than a 315R was originally.

I heard you can fix a radiator leak with egg white And that's no Yoke

looks like they are keeping the clever re distribution of weight to themselves. Paint from the fuel tank now relocated lower and further back on the swing arm -clever Honda/Montesa. Perfectionists or what. Does look nice though

greeves !!!!!

I use a matrix for St Davids BTC and score each sections easy, medium and hard for each route - then try for a 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 . I do this before marking the trial out so you know what each sections needs to be before you get there - its easy to get carried away once you start sticking the markers in. We have graphs from previous events supplied by ACU so we can compare theoretical with actual for past sections. Also get somebody else to rate the section to get balance view. I also try and avoid having hard on all routes in the same section -ie hard on champ would then try and be easier on expert route to avoid bottle necks. (terrain sometimes dictates that this is not possible) Ideally 15 to 20 marks is ample for the winner but also try and avoid real stoppers that the very few can fly through but the lesser will be upside down on. Several tricky bits rather than a do or die. it doesn't always work out and things you think will be hard are easy and that simple muddy bank suddenly become the test of the trial

Just looking at some leaked pictures reverse cylinder head, Exhaust at rear, inlet at the front air box at the front Fuel tank at the rear Single shock front suspension Novel change in wheels sizes - 18" front, 21" rear Ah wait a minute Got photo wrong way round - its going to be the same as this year

I think other than second hand you can get them new from Honda but probably £100 plus. If your struggling I can remap for you. cheerd

Hi What part of wales are you from. We have good training in south wales if your down this way -trialstrainigwales

Are your SKF seal still going strong? My second replacement "std" seals and now leaking - felt like an early F1 drive going down the road yesterday with oil blowing back at me. Any info from Tech Forks as to why this may be occurring (bike is 2015 std 260 Mont by the way)

If they were cheap enough and you want them as a practice set then they can be modified. Front wheel needs a 315 early disc buying - I had a NG one, This gives you the right thickness. A spacer is then required to on the spindle - the inner ring from a front wheel bearing works fine. The rear will need the hub machining down and if the disc is too thick then a 315 disc may do the job (4rt disc only have 4 holes)

Cos I'm getting old and grumpy and don't live in Disneyland maybe?
