Chillout1983 Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago Hi, I am new to trials I have a very lightly used 4rt I would like to keep it as good as possible 😂 I currently have the standard sump guard with a wrap around water pump guard I am looking at guards from CSP, S3 and MITANI (full protection kit) I also thinking I will buy a linkage guard any advise appreciated. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemur Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago I recommend a low cost clutch cover guard that covers the whole case (400$ part) and not just the bottom part and found the best way to keep it on is to use 2 sided tape instead of the bolts.

This way you can enjoy trials riding instead of worrying about your precious , unless of course it is what things look like that is more important to you than your riding. Old scratched up bikes do not have to be bad mechanically just rebuild it , replace with new the bits that actually matter put brand new brake parts on it , new clutch etc replace the seals and all the bearings , a bike that works like a new one but can be thrown on the ground without any tears is such a liberating feeling . I like to keep this in mind always " The things you own end up owning you". Enjoy your riding Best wishes Alan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr1AL Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago @LaVern Too clarify what I mean I will just say that the Worlds best Trials riders did not get where they are by worrying about damaging their bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chillout1983 Posted 18 minutes ago Author Report Share Posted 18 minutes ago Hi thanks for the responses, I fully expect to scratch , scrape and damage the bike due to to the nature of the sport even more so having never ridden a motorcycle, I now have 3 hours under my belt 😂 I am just really looking to give the bike some more protection such as a better sump guard that covers additional area than the original and as mentioned some casing covers. i am also bit of kid at heart and love fancy anodised parts. thanks 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
