hello all, does any of you twinshokers out there run a tubeless michelin (with a tube) on the rear ?? i remember a few years ago i had a irc tubeless on the rear of a fantic and when you let the air out to 5psi it would break the bead and look like the wheel was buckled .i only ask as i have a new michelin in stock and my beamish needs a tyre. Thanks Paul.

Come on Andy let us see some images of the beast !!

Ah Jonv8 hows the 4st ty going??

Hi All,I have a silver engine beamish suzuki and want to re-spoke the wheels does anyboby know where i can get a set?? .thanks Paul

Went to a new practice area in Southwick near Trowbridge .The Chaps have done a lot of hard work cutting back and digging out sections its not for the experts out there but excellent for clubman and anybody who wants to practice sections before entering into a trial. There is a fee of

Hi all, my mate got a 01 rev 3 250 today got it home turned the petrol on and it just pours out the bottom of the carb ?? i see there is a lot of problems with the later models is there a mod that needs doing on a 2001 ??? Regards Scorpa250.

Thats a sammy miller one .When new they are red ,i rode that trial do you have any images of me (scorpa 250) Regards Paul

Sounds like the rear engine mount ,it has a rubber insert ,from memory this can be a siezed in the cases .goog luck .scorpa250

Hello Andy, does it run ?? are the kickstart gears in good order?? Budgie.

Hi,there is a way,from memory you take the air box off and the r/h/r shock then it should be able to come off,its a bit of a fiddle,good luck . Regards Paul

Hi, it sounds like that you have trapped the throttle cable,check the routing of the cable and that it is noy fouling the throttle cable,make shall that the throttle cable is sat in the top of the carb . Regards Paul

You may have a crank seal gone (the one behind the flywheel)this would explain the not returning to idle issue. As for the clutch i would get it hot and then change the gearbox oil and see if that makes a difference. Scorpa250.

From memory they do fit but i think you have to file the rear skirt of the piston to clear the crank flywheels. Scorpa250.

looks good !!! if only it was in England .Spudsdad,was it any good ???(i just like the way it looks) i had a hiro armstrong and it was a bit docile ,it looks like a different barrell on the Garelli ?? Scorpa250.

For good results i found that a Dt175 Reedcage and inlet rubber work excellent on a 200 ,it does require a little metal to be removed from the barrell and remove the reed stops as they are noy reqd as the inside of the barrell can act as stops .the dt carb is a good mod as well . Scorpa250.

Having had a lot of twinshocks to restore and ride over the last 20yrs, i am looking for a garelli 320 did they ever get imported to this country? Scorpa250.

Finally its 100% !!!! Fitted a new master cylinder and got a vacuum bleeder for cars, 2mins later its perfect. it must have been a combination of air and master cylinder ,the bleeder is so simple to use and sucks all the fluid and air out so quick but you need two of you 1 pouring fluid in and the other holding the pipe on the nipple .

hello all,went out in the garage to check the brake and its gone again !!!!!!!!!! if you pump the pedal 5/6 times it returns ????? should i get my son to just ride it and see what happens ? Scorpa250

Hi ,When i had a 240 i used to use silicone ....but also for the time it takes remove the cover and spray the electrics with WD40 after a wet trial .

Hello all,well...after having the whole system hanging up and tapping every time i went into the garage i refitted to the bike today,bleed (old school way) and there is 85% braking !!!!! i will let my son do a trial and see how it goes ,its not as good as i would like but its the best its been .Will let you know how it performs in a trial. thanks again for all of the suggestions that everyone said i am sure it helped me get through knowing that i am not the only one that is having trouble . Scorpa250

Hello all, i have removed the whole system and it is hanging in the garage (caliper to top) have been tapping the whole lot with a spanner to try and get any air to the top will leave it for a couple of days tapping now and again will refit and bleed and see what happens will keep you all posted . Happy Christmas to you all . Scorpa250

Hi Stork,have removed the reservoir and syringed the fluid from the top to the caliper it flows freely.the best results are the old fashioned way i just cant understand it !!!!????!!??? Regards Scorpa250

I have been doing that,once that the nipple is closed ther is no pedal at all if you pump the pedal 5/6 times there is a small amount ??? does that mean there is still air in the system?? Regards Scorpa250

Well Got a new "o" ring fitted it put the whole lot back on the bike,used a screwdriver to push the m/cyl piston still no good !!!! there is fluid flowing but still no pedal!!! I made a new M/cyl rod 10mm longer fitted it and on max adjustment there is about 25% braking .I back bleed from caliper to m/cyl but found the best way was to use a screwdriver. When i crack the nipple open push the screwdriver the fluid does spurt out dot just a dribble ...after another 1/2 ltr fluid refitted the rod still no good What next????????????????????????
