  1. Try old plug again. Or fuel tap off, plug out, kick several times as maybe build up of fuel in crank case. Try kicking plug in, fuel off, no choke.
  2. It may already be registered, many of that age are. Contact ducks to check that first. spellchecker ...dvla
  3. There is a difference between rotary seals and hydraulic type. Rotary will wear very fast.
  4. Don't think this will work, doesn't change the spring rate, but will become coil bound.
  5. No money owed, met you at Robregordo, pre65 etc ? Ross
  6. https://picclick.co.uk/Comerford-Cub-Trials-Bike-232809481791.html#&gid=1&pid=1 This it ? Are you Bruce W ?

    Riding a 4RT

    lineaway tends to be a bit blunt, but I think his intentions and depth of experience make his contributions worth considering.
  8. I rarely watch TB, as I don't really consider what he does as trials. Have a look at this, just a group of like minded people having fun. Some extremely skilful, some not so. Don't know why the start came up , look further down for the sections.
  9. Have you spoken to in motion, they maybe have a spare one for sale. I think you would need a jig and Oxy acetylene to straighten your current one.
  10. If its only a small twist, adjust the snailcams until the sprockets align, ride and enjoy.
  11. They were hard to get out 40 years ago, have you tried heating the head rather than the studs ? If you end up cutting them off, at least you have a flat face to drill.
  12. Your probably correct, but for 50p I'd fit one in case the mot inspector doesn't know that.
  13. Many inspectors insist on a reflector as well, even for a daylight mot. Also fit a legal size number plate. Tyres should be own up to 20psi, directional arrows can be picked up on, as can cuts in sidewalls.
  14. I believe in moderation in everything, including flywheels.

    Left leg start

    Just takes practice, on or off the bike.

    @dozerash, have you read through the many posts that appear earlier on the swm forum ? All the info is there about clutch springs, adjustments, leavers etc Have you extended the arm inside the clutch casing ? An all day one finger clutch is possible without using hydraulics.

    This material actually works best (IMO) when it is wet, its only negative is it can be a be grabby when feathering the front brake.
  18. Without sag the suspension cannot react as effectively, i.e. it allows the wheels to drop into dips and follow the terrain more precisely, improving grip. Particularly in very slippery conditions.

    Have you checked which springs are in the clutch ?
  20. I ride around with clutch pulled in untill it disengages, slightly kinder.

    @feetupfun , I agree, and I have a brembo disc and m/c on another bike and they are no better than a good condition standard setup with modern brake shoes.
  22. What condition is your front tyre ? What make is it, 5psi in a decent quality tyre should be about right.
  23. Are you using the clutch ? Maybe drag the back brake a little. Handlebars a little further forward to put more weight onto front tyre.
