There is a "High-compression" Head available for the 125. Also the Kelhin(?) Flat Slide Carb will increase the power. Talk to Kevin at Gas Gas UK.

Further Information. The Course is 20 sections, Two laps. 8 Sections in Dob Park, 12 in Browns Wood. The A Class will start at Section 9,(first section in Browns Wood) The B at section 1 In Dob Park. The Car Park will be open about 8am. There is a Tanker due at 11am visiting a farm down the lane so please park Considerately if spectating.

Not had this problem ourselves but I'm paranoid about security. The Garage is part of the House and is alarmed as part of the House on top of lots of bolts and chains(no specifics for obvious reasons). Makes us a very difficult target but somebody, someday will have a go!

Dob Park is located north of Otley. Follow the A6451 towards Pateley Bridge until you Cross the River. Then instead of turning right with the A6451 continue forward past the Wharfedale Hospital. Follow the signs to Blubberhouses. As you head North there will be a home made warning sign about "Geese Crossing" and a sharp right turn. After about a mile or so on watch out for a climbing left hander with a slip to your right. It is signed "Dob Park", don't panic if you miss it you can turn round a little further up. From the North You need to be on the A59 Harrogate to Skipton road and turn right at the Fewston Reservoir(Blubberhouses turn). Then watch out for the Dob Park signs about 5 or 6 miles. Once on that road just follow it doen to the Venue. The start is at 10:30 with Riders to have had their Machines examined by 10am and attend the riders briefing at 10:00am. Note for Spectators. The Car Park will be for competitors AND THEY ARE 111 ENTRIES. Please park considerately as others residents of the lane will want to use it during the day. As for when to get there they'll be a massive queue at the first section so aim to be there between 11:00 and 12:00. Tip: I'm Wearing Wellies as parts of the wood can get boggy but some parents wear Trials boots or rugged hiking boots. Dorothy Wardle will be there with her usual excellent selection of Hot Food and drinks throughout the day, to keep the officials. riders and spectators warm and filled! Last thing. NO DOGS WILL BE ALLOWED AT THE VENUE This is at the request of the landowner.

I have contacted the Horsforth Web site and invited comment. I did offer my support to Barrie and will be contacting him and the centre to further this as any rider who gives a club flak should understand the problems we all face. I feel I was pretty lucky when I marshalled a trial to get the required number of observers. I was grateful to all of them and many of them were due to the contacts I and Chris(NYL) made as we came up thru the "Small-wheel" ranks. They are tireless in their efforts to make sure their kids get every chance TO RIDE and will observe whenever they can to ensure that, and thats RIDE not necessarily WIN.

Look, with over 100 riders There should have been 12 observers. Instead The organisers get some pretty serious flak becuase 4 sections have to be pulled because only 8 volunteer! If you want to ride be prepared for this sort of situation. It's no good complaining to the organisers of the event if you have nobody prepared to observe. I do it because I am VERY involved in my son's hobby and am prepared to stand and observe on a pretty crap day to get a Trial run. All credit to the observers at the Horsforth trial who turn out every weekend to do so. To those who gave Barry and the Horsforth Crew who set out the Trial considerable grief about not having 12 observers and decided to "head Home", get real! This is a volunteer sport! Understand the problem and get on board! Personally I'd like to thank Barry and all at the Horsforth club and all the officials who helped and GET OFF THEIR BACKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I volunteer my servies to Yeadon-Guiseley as Treasurer and if I am at a Trial where NYL does not need me to follw him around I am more than willing to observe to get the trial underway. Barry does a fantastic job at Horsforth and must be feeling pretty undervalued after the last couple of trials. We all know when they are on and when Chris(NYL) enters I always volunteer my serivces. GET BEHIND THE CLUBS IN YOUR AREA. Not only ENTER BUT SUPPORT THEM. To all those that did good on you, to those that wandered around get in there and support YOUR SPORT.

I'd say the Beta mainly becuase the rear tyre on the Sherco seems to be a bicycle tyre. If i was there again and HAD to get an auto the Gas Gas would be my choice.

High quality entry and 189 riders Including the small-wheelers!

I ran an 04 125 and the basics are the same. You'll find a sticker on the frame recommending the use of 98 RON fuel. That's available from Shell as Optimax and Q8 stations. Standard fuel works ok tho. Some Tesco's do 99 RON which is even better. Sherco recommend a 2% Fuel/oil mix. We used Castrol XR77 which is expensive but we never had any problems with the bearings which have been reported by other riders. I dropped the mix to 1.5% using this. We changed the Gearbox oil monthly using either Plutoline or PJ1 Gearbox oil. It takes about 450ml. Again no problems with the Box. You will needs to make sure the area under the rear mudguard is sealed to stop water getting into the airbox. The Airbox fits under the frame frame and usually there is a small gap which can be sealed using clear Silicone sealer. Seal the top of the frame and the sides of the box using draft sealer. We had some on the other side(Exhaust) as well. Clean the air filter and oil the inside after at least a weekends riding. As a preventative measure I put Silkelene FST Pro in the fuel as well which cleans the carb and clears any moisture that may have built up. Don't overtighten the stator cover and check after very wet rides that no water has got in. Take the tank off once a month when the guard is off and clean under the tank area. I used Muc-off to clean the bike and covered the metal parts with WD-40 to prevent any rust problems. Don't get it on the discs tho.

Jack was at the YG AGM on Wednesday along with Adam so I'd be surprised if they weren't there(Cobb & Jagger). He is a really good prospect and given the popularity of trials in Yorkshire at the moment I would not be surprised to see more following. The two Haley lads(Louis And Edward) are pretty good, my own son is snapping away with his mates Bevan Blacker and Tom Wolfendon and such as Sam Beecroft-Penny and Ryan Cartwright are just behind. Even then we have seen some new riders popping up in the Yorkshire Centre so watch your backs!!!!

Probably easiest to plant some mature trees at the top of the bank, dig some "features" at the bottom and also put some mature trees in to add to the feel. Also plant trees on the rest of the land. You'll have a smallish area to start with that should grow in time.

I think you are still confused over what is a licence and the Affiliation Fee. The Licences may well be free, but as StuartC said the officials still have to pay Affiliation fee's like any Rider.

Check and clean out the Airbox, Air filter and carb. It does sound as though you may need to check the water pump as well. If the seals on the shaft are worn or damaged they could be letting water into the gearbox.

Wiggy runs 9/48 as Per Gas Gas Kev's recommendation.

Contact John Lampkin. I was asking about this at the Haven test day and John has a number of enhancements to the carb that will increase the performance.

Were you the riders who knew the Enduro's???

The Tracks don't look like off-road tyres. Probably morons on Scooters.

See the Thread in Trials Previews.

Are you Practising??? Horsforth's Novice Beginners is on the 12th February. If you don't mind a drive out there is a Allcomers Easy Trial at Newton Near Pickering on Sunday tho.

Whose the Local TMX guy?? It could be worthwhile getting him/her onto it with a view to getting as much publicity as soon as possible!!

Hmmm!! The popular choices are the Gas Gas and Beta Auto's. The new player is the Clipic Auto and they are keen to get riders on them. However as soon as he has learned to ride and he can handle it sizewise get him on the Beta REV50. The Sherco auto is ok but you don't see many around and it seems to use a Bicycle tyre. With all the little Autos I have heard of parts availability problems and also they are revved to heaven and back!! My son learnt to ride on a PW80 at BUMPY where they taught him the balance and steering. The semi-auto box made it ideal. After 4 or five lessons he moved on to the TY80. When he wanted to start competing I got him an old Mecatechno 80 then moved after 8 months to a REV50. It was really a case of how keen are they. My lad is very keen and will spend all day every weekend riding if I let him. If your lad is like this he will want to go to the REV50 ASAP as he will want to compete. If you are in the Yorkshire area that's easy as is the Derbyshire area.

We got 115 entries for the last trial at Addingham. 15 were youngsters on the conducted course. It didn't seem that many but there again I was at the last section so it tends to string out a bit by the time they get to me.

Club trial's have a Clubmans route and a "Hard" Course. These are for riders who have ridden for a while. The Beginners/Novice have a very easy course and also a hard(novice) course that is set out to be between the Clubmen and Hard course. As for being a member just join on the day. We'll be renewing NYL's on the day.

Checked at <mention of this company is not permitted on Trials Central> . I was talking to Phil at the "Fun" trial and it's the Next Novice Beginners in February, the club trial is on the 29th.

So I went over to Todotrial to read their report on Sheffield. I had to run it thru Babelfish to translate it, and Tony Bou comes out as "Toni Seine fishing"????????????????????
