Sure wish we had a forum where everyone involved in AHRMA Trials would post. I understand that we are going to use a different format at Dickson. It's not a big thing, and I'm sure will work fine, but shouldn't the members have some say in how things are run.
A place to talk about things like sectiion #3: For a Novice that was a real challenge (one I never solved). I don't mean this as a negative - there should be sections that are demanding. I ment to go back Sat and try to work on it but time got away from me.

Here is a suggestion
Why not Put "AHRMA then the event or topic" as a title and submit each post in classic trials section of trials central?
That way we know that its in the states.
Just a thought. I am not sure if we have enough ahrma events or topics to support a complete section here in trails central.

I got lost in section 3 twice! On my third loop i got a 1. Silly but thats why i got second i guess.
Wow that is amazing. I talk to people all across north america for one of the big three and the canadians have to come up with some pretty ingenious fixes because it may take them three weeks to get a part.
I think its funny that zippy was actually taking you serious.....! hahahahahaha Like a trials rider would live in Yellow knife!?! Only 1 busy very buggy month of riding and all the rest would be hibernation.
In Tennessee last year I knocked a huge rock into the sports man line.
Yesterday i dragged a log into an advance line.
I have a tendancy to be "That guy".
As a section builder you have to try and make it inviceable but you can only do so much. As long as the rock is there for all of the riders its fair. The only exception I have is if the section becomes dangerous it needs to be changed. If it causes points then its just a pain. Rain is another good example of making this call. If it rains and becomes impossible or dangerous then it needs to be changed. If it rains and becomes a point taker then leave it be.
You might want to check a quote from Allied. I know that they have a depot down the road from my house. I had a couch shiped from florida and it was only a couple hundred and the couch weighed about as much as my bike.
I did clean out the oil slinger. I had metal in the filter screen from the bushing that had failed on the output shaft. This was the gear on the shaft that mates up wiht the kick starter gear. It seems as if the gasket failed in the case halfs and instead of draining down into this bushing it was bypassing. I got a bushing from a donor cr80 that i was junking and I am proper through the whole case with new gaskets and every thing.
Yesterday i loosened up the rocker arms and also spun the cam by it self to do a non evasive inspection of the cam gear bushing. It seems to be ok. I am giong to keep this thing stock for this summer. This winter i am sending the jug and head to B&J to have him put in the 150 kit and have him go through the head bushings. I wont compete on it untill thats done.
The guy who owned this used it as a trail bike. The exhaust was rusty but it does not even look as if the thing had been on its side. The oil had tons of fuel in it so i am chalking up the failure to lack of maintance. I have replaced all of the case bolts with 8mm's to get rid of those silly phillips heads.
The cr 80 shift lever mounts right up too and its a flip back type so i ditched the oem shifter for the more trials friendly version.
I see what you mean about counter intuitive. It seems if you back it out it should tighten but thats not the case. I discovered that upon tear down.
I should have this at mid ohio as a pit bike. Look for the only repsol colored tl125.
The internet is a great thing but I just couldn't find out how to time my tl 125 k2.
I had a worn gear bushing and a bad one way for the kick starter. With a set of new gaskets from bike bandit i have dug into the internals and gone though the gear box. I am all sorted out now but decided to give the ole beast a new set of cam and crank gears along with a timing chain. I felt it deserved the attention. I am at the point where i want to get this thing timed. I discovered that the crank gear is a pressed on with NO key way???? Ok well i might for go the crank gear because mine seems to be in good condition with nice square teeth. I have the new one but if it is not broke dont fix it. The cam gear had three teeth that were worn so that has to go and i have the new chain. I have a circle mark on the cam gear and i can find top dead center with the flywheel and my dial indicator. I am wondering where i can time the cam to? I think i see a mark on the head but i have also heard that you need to just line up all marks straight up. When i got home tonight i was going to just pull the cam adjuster caps off to look at the lobe but i want to be a little more scientific than that. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am an experienced engine builder but for some reason this one is not intuitive to me. Thanks in advance.
Great point by all I also agree that we need to keep the world round and the national seperate. I really enjoyed riding on friday last year then relaxing the next two days watching. If I dont get to ride and only get to watch I get really anxious to try the stuff i am seeing. Then I start to to weep knowing that i will have to wait. hahahaha
