robson Posted November 20, 2022 Report Share Posted November 20, 2022 hi, do I need remove tank first? I want to swap road legal one with racing. I see there is decompression lever mounted as well, should be gone to I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbofurball Posted November 21, 2022 Report Share Posted November 21, 2022 Yes, tank and the rear mudguard / airbox assembly needs to come off. If you have a trials bike it's a good idea to know how to strip the whole bike down and how to service a carb (not hard to learn with some patience and access to youtube). What are the differences between the carb you have and the one you want? Are they a different size, or is it just needle / jet change? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faussy Posted November 21, 2022 Report Share Posted November 21, 2022 Are you regretting buying a bike in the crate yet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saved some money as well because of that. I stripped down my 2t enduro sherco many times so it cannot be that hard with trial bike.

Road legal one has 2 cables coming off it, racing one only throttle. jets probably different as well, When I remove it I will post pics.

turbofurball Posted November 21, 2022 Report Share Posted November 21, 2022 Interesting, I'm only familiar with the old TXTPro I had, and they only had one kind of carb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robson Posted November 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 below are pics or racing carb and road legal which is currently installed. Wondering why throttle cable is also different? on the racing one in the end is a ball not cylinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbofurball Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 Well, the top ones a Delorto and the bottom ones a Keihin, so they'll take different cables ... if it was me I'd stick to the Delorto, rebuilding Keihins is a massive pain in the backside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robson Posted November 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 But I guess performance is much better with Kehin, that's why they put both in the package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbofurball Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 Yes, I'd guess it's there for the people who are approaching a pro level of riding and need to hop the bike 7' in the air etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robson Posted November 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 (edited) I thought we all buy trial bikes to do that and beyond for something else I have Enduro bike Edited November 24, 2022 by robson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbofurball Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 There's only a handful of people in the whole world who can ride to that level, and they practice full time - I'm happy to just squeeze a bike through places where an enduro bike won't fit, (which is a lot of tracks around here, lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many people with great skills on trial bikes. BTW buying trial for trails is a waste IMO. I'm surprised on trial forum such opinions, but that's not the topic here.

turbofurball Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 Number of people who can hop a trials bike up 7' in the air? The guys in the world championship can do it, just. As for "trail riding" and "trials riding", I live a stones throw from where Toni Bou grew up. Montesa, Bultaco, and the Sherco factory aren't very far away. There's a reason. However, I was talking about trials riding in this instance - if you can get an enduro bike through a trials section then, as someone who managed to snap the frame of my EC250 while trying those sorts of shenanigans, you have my upmost respect.
