Thedbf if the bike has been abused then it is his fault, and if the bike was overheating and the rider just continued to ride, then it is still his fault.
You can't get the bike to the described condition without noticing unless it was dropped and it had a runaway engine and even then it's still the rider at fault.
Sorry if this seems harsh but can't see how the bike has been running fine and finished as scrap without any sign of a fault that would tell the rider to stop!
The entry need to be in by the 14th I think, you can enter on the day but if costs more. May be worth ordering the gazette to get all your entry forms and dates of up coming events and all the info you need about the south west centre.
Brilliant, we were there, well both my boys were riding I was walking. Think I saw you but was not sure, glad you had a good time. Morton have a club trial this weekend, not sure about the routes being set, west of England on the 19th, again a great venue but is a south west champ round for all grades except youth d, you need to enter in advance.
I applied for my licence and my two sons licences on the 28th of December and sent off the parental consent form on the same day, I received all three licences back today. Considering the time of year and the number of renewals that must be in the system, brilliant thank you.
I was doubtful of the merits but having to fit a lanyard to my eldest sons bike for the BTC rounds has been an eye opener just how well it works, so much so that I have fitted another to my younger sons bike as well.
Normally a runaway bike develops after the rider has fallen from the bike or a screaming bike on the floor happens once the rider has dropped the bike and the throttle has stuck in the ground, both of these situations are stopped before the bike has reached high revs as the engine is killed before the situation has reached the danger point and the bike tends to just stop in its tracks.
Can't remember on the revs but the evo has a pickup mounted at 10 o'clock outside of the flywheel, it is held in place with Alan headed machine screws,
If the bike has just been put putting around the oil will have built up, you have now got it hot and are seeing the result of years of unburnt oil. I do not know the recommended petrol oil ratio for your bike but it is quite a conservative ratio if the bike is not being ridden hard.
We must be missing something simple, please don't take offence but you are checking for a spark with the plug earthed against a well earthed part of the bike? Also can you spin the engine with a drill, plug out and earthed, turn your garage lights off and look for sparks shorting onto the frame from any wiring.
Pete, practice is good but you need to enter a few trials on the novice route so you know what to practice and also you can be the best rider when practicing but you need the pegs in the ground to know what you can and can not do.
