  1. Is that the correct plug for a climber ? Thopught most trials plugs had a projected nose, making them run hotter to burn the crap off. I'd check that first. I'd go for a bp5es ngk
  2. You sure ? Only if the vehicle is more than (I think ) 35 years old , can you run without mot or road tax, still has to be insured. Q plates were for vehicles that had been written off, then put back on the road, or if age couldn't be determined ? Farm vehicles can only run a very short distance from the registered farm without being totally legal.
  3. So when the bike boggs and stops, you take the plug out and your getting a good spark ? At that stage have you tried a new plug ? A picture of the plug would also be useful.
  4. Your ignition is probably dying, are you getting a spark ? A company in Germany do a replacement, not cheap. Maybe get the stator and cdi checked by Bradford Ingnitions . What carb is on it ? If its an air screw Dellorto they can be temperamental, try get a loan of a petrol screw one to eliminate that. I'm assuming your getting a good spark when it stops ?

    Email the top man at trs.
  6. Zone 5 is a great helmet imo, never noticed any weight issues, the eye protection it offers is the most important factor.
  7. Ossy Byres (trials rider) company Audit CNC manufacturers billet hubs, worth speaking to.

    @FreeWheel, did it work out significantly cheaper, and better, than a new Dellorto ?
  10. Frame no is the important one when it comes to age related plate, dvla are not actually interested in the engine no.
  11. I bought a kickstart from Phillips at old nobblies, seems good quality, and if its not exactly the correct fit it can be reshaped if you have access to Oxy acetylene.
  12. I would go one step further and introduce a handy cap system, really level the playing field.
  13. If the drums well worn, new standard shoes won't make a huge difference. Get a pair re-lined with oversized material.
  14. No, that's the drain for the crank case. As lineaway said above, its an Allan key about 10 inches behind. 1000/1200 ml of atf works well.

    Future of Gasgas

    More radical updates in pre65 and twin shock ?
  16. Think your on the wrong forum .......
  17. Rotax engine, 50:1 semi synthetic. They do collect oil and need cleaned out. Interested to see a picture of the compression device.
  18. Hi Carlos, in the past I've done exactly as you do, but have discovered for my specific use leaving them as delivered is best. I accept that different conditions require different approaches.
  19. 0% lower leg protection, 1st hand (shin) experience.

  21. Another vote for sidi's, good protection even when saturated, most leather boots offer very little protection when really wet. Boots are small so think about going one size up.
  22. So riding a ty80 (as I know you do) feels exactly the same as an adult sized bike ?

    Knocking on climbs is more likely timing, or octane to low. Increasing 2 stroke ratio will actually make it marginally worse.
