bmx Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Hi all. As I'm new to trials and new to the bikes. I've boult myself a hebo fuel tank. It's in the post but wanted to get a heads up. Where on the fuel tank is the breather pipe? and do they clip on easy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony27 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Depends on the bike but normally the breather tube comes out the centre of the fuel cap. The tube should be the same size as your fuel line so fitting should be fairly easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thats_a_five Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Haha, don't worry about sounding stupid. We all do sometimes. Hebo makes 2 different aux tanks: one that mounts between the forks (got one on my 4RT) and one that looks like it mounts on the bars (I have only seen pics of this). The between the forks type mounts very easily with 2 large zip ties. Not knowing your bike, I can say that most trials bikes, vent through a hose in the fuel filler cap. By connecting this vent hose to the Hebo tank, when the fuel runs from the main tank it creates a vacuum that pulls the fuel from the Hebo tank. For this to work properly, it is key to have good seal on the fuel cap and cook tight connections on the hoses. Otherwise it will not create the vacuum needed to syphon the fuel from the Hebo to the main tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thats_a_five Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 The best thing you can do on your first trial is to simply remember to have fun. Meet some people, find someone or a couple good ones to ride with. Ride what you can and if it looks scary, just punch through. Be sure to walk the sections before riding, watch others to see what lines they take, and stay loose. Heck, I didn't even finish my first couple trials. It wore me out after being off the bike for more years than I want to admit. Oh, one more thing: keep your feet up! Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
