When I was a lad that was called a throttle.

When do you do any real work ?

[Boot Care]

Snowseal from any walking shop works pretty well. Its also about feeding and conditioning the leather, as much as waterproofing.

[Confused]

I ran at 32:1 for 20 years, same piston, same main bearings. You have to make the decision if the nano second in engine response is worth changing bearings/pistons if you run at 80:1.

5 & 4, whatever the conditions.

What a great site, very rare that companys are prepared to give so much information.

[Padded Knees Trials Jeans]

Get any reputable brand, fairly tight and stick some plastic shin / knee protectors down the inside. In my opinion, if it isnt hard plastic it wont really do anything.

[Week 109 - Why The Scores Differ]

that is almost as much as a stupid idea as changing from a 4 stroke to a 2 stroke then back to a 4 stroke during a multi day event and hoping no one notices......

God dont start that again, please.

This is my 5TA in a heavily modified B40 frame that I shortened and tightened up the steering head angle. I originally bought it off a mate as an unfinished project 24years ago. I lowered the compression, dropped the primary and secondary gearing and fitted an electrex ignition system, apart from that the motor is standard.

I have since given it 2 facelifts, the last one included nickle plating the frame and anodising the rims and parts dark green, probably not popular with the purists!

As for the 350 or 500 debate, although people say that the 350 is smoother, the 500 is so much fun and will pick the front up anywhere in any gear. Even after owning it for so long I still look forward to riding it, and wouldn't swop it for the world [/img]

Most of that is very nice (purist) How does it grip ? Whats are the tank and forks ? Really like the nickel frame, ball park cost and who did it please.

[Tc Or Tr ?]

They talk about a nomial fee, can you define ?

[Oil Mix Ratio & Spokes & Year Of Production On A Ty175]

Just std spokes on a ty175 and i run my ty250 t/s on 33-1 as i like to see a bit of smoke to stop me worrying about a seize up!!!

Dave

I second that, main bearings also seam to last a lot longer. (see Beta thread)

[Main Bearings Gone]

Use decent quality silicon, screwfix do a sanitary silicon for about

[New Midwest Twinshock Series]

Great pics, could be Scotland.

[Rear Wheel Bearing Txt 280]

If you do a search you should get all the info as this has been covered fairly recently.

[Gas Flowed Head]

For God's sake ,I can't hold it in any longer , somebody put out an official warning here....people copy what they see on Jackass you know !!

Official warning re - HAM2 . You have been warned.

[At Last, Co-operation In The Motor Industry]

Renault and Ford are pulling together to create a new car.

It will be based on the Ford Taurus and Renault Clio and will be

named Clitaurus.

It will only be available in pink, with or without fur on the dash.

Are they doing a stretched version ? I hope not.

[Yoke Bolt Snapped]

Torque if possible. Might be an idea to put copaslip on to stop this happening again.

[Gas Flowed Head]

Longer shocks would not raise the gearing as the spatial relationsip between terra firma and the rear wheel spindle remains constant.

Please be more careful with your analysis, obviously the only way this can happen is if you put more air in the rear tyre.

500 psi should do it.

Alternativly remove the silencer, this generally increases power by upwards of 37.3 %.

[Gas Flowed Head]

Along with all the other mods, I now reckon I might need to raise the gearing a little. I currently have a 60 tooth rear sprocket. I was thinking 56 might be better?

As the sprocket is aluminium I was thinking if I got the dremmel in and ground one tooth off every 90 degrees that will do the trick ?

The down side is that if i need to go even higher i will have to grind off 4 more teeth (to keep everything balanced like)which might be too much , so would it be be better to start by grinding off one tooth every 120 degrees and then if i need too I could remove another 3 ?

Easy way to raise the gearing is to get longer shocks.

[348 Year Of Manufacture Please]

Could you neatly stick a layer or two of aluminium foil, say off a pie dish, to act as a shield?

Steve

Would that not just conduct the heat ? Loft insulation with foil and glass wool might work and should compress.

Probably just heard the story..maybe?? Achallader would have been a Scottish Experts??

Think it was Experts, saw it with mine own beads, how we laughted, Michael still had his feet on the rests and hands on handlebars.

[Are These Boots Worth The Extra Money?]

Thanks, I appreciate it. It sound like a fellow needs to cough up for a good pair of boots.

I was being flipant in my first answer, but see comic injuries re splitting the membrane on the front of my shin re my second response.
