  1. Not necessarily, If the cost for the DID is substantially higher then the spoke through design. Those budget minded manufacturers would go with the spoke through design. All boils down to $$$$$$$ seen the price on a mont?
  2. OK the Monts have DID (?) rims right? the ones that have no rim tape is a solid rim with the turnbuckle type spokes. Why don't all the manufacturers use this type of rim?????? seems to me that would solve all leak problems except for leaking at the bead itself.
  3. Nice POV video from PhotosbySergio. It gives a good indication of how narrow and tall those indoor world round obstacles are. Raga POV
  4. My 2000 tank has a tightness issue. Bloody pain in the a*** to get fitted properly. As an adjustment fix I ovaled out the hole that the top mounting screw fits into and that gave it enough space to snugly fit into place. I don't know what other years have for the top mount bolt to go through but the 2000 has a flat plate between the frame rails. Hope this makes sense.
  5. Adjust my earlier post to read New Zealand. Cope, Thanks for pointing out I am a Numpty sometimes.............. Still would be fun if I had the money.....aaahhh dreams of trials...............
  6. Spare Parts Books.....Maybe yours Many useful manuals not sure how many apply to 1999 but most fit my 2000 Have fun!!
  7. Oh you definitely have my interest, Now All I need is the location of the event. oh wait I need air fare to Aus., a trials bike to ride. I may remember to bring my own ratty riding gear but a sponsorship would be better for me. I REALLY like Chocolate can't you tell. Sounds well worth the effort to me. Seriously, I would like to ride some trials Down Under and in the UK. Just don't have the funds..........Come on lottery numbers............

  9. Depends on how deep the grooves are. Minor clean disc with some wet/dry fine grit sandpaper, I soaked the paper with WD-40 when I cleaned mine up. New pads will "Bed in" eventually. Deep grooves pitch it and get a new disc.
  10. Cope, Been a couple days and nobody has any insights or help for ya. I think you may be SOL dude, Hate computers, love them 2 strokes really easy to understand.

    Damn, that took long enough for a response from somebody. Knew you would appreciate it Copey.
  13. Probably starting with Canada..............They are just too quiet and polite, also very friendly........must be planning something. Our neighbors to the North are good people.
  14. O-ring in the head gone bad..........my 2 cents. Start storing bike in house, temperature controlled environment your bike will thank you................other humans in the house will hate you. But hey fair trade as far as I'm concerned.
  15. Harleys sound like crap no matter what position they are in. Damn stupid uneven firing expensive vibrators is all they are.
  16. I would not actually say he is any good at any stunts..... At about 18 seconds Dude got some moves

    Trials Tyres

    I do notice a difference between a new tire and my usual tires (Front and Rear) but unfortunately the new tire does not actually change how well I ride........................................
