because i got my bike 2nd hand i didnt no if the graphichs would of been changed to make it look nicer, from the looks of it i have an edition. iv just changed the oil and put 750ml, everythings all good, just wanted to see what other people put in and thanks for the guide mate.

iv had a similar problem with regards to not getting neutral, i can get it if im rolling or engine is off, just something u get used to and as for the atf oil, i use motul dexron iii 750ml in my 2002 280 txt havnt tried anything else but thats what everyone seems to use on these bikes, other oils can make the plates swell, causing more dragg

yeh im getting even more confused now with the amount to put in.. how will i no if i have a pro or an edition? the stickers say 02txt edition, guessin thats my answer?? if thats right how much should i put in ?? 700ml seems alot

why would the garage tell me to put 750ml in tho??what difference will it make if i put less in??lighter clutch ??

searched the forum but could find what i was looking for.. what i want to no is how much ATF oil should i put in my 2002 gas gas txt 280?? iv been told 700ml by the garage i got it from, but few others iv spoken to say, 450ml and as theres no dip stick on the bike i have no idea what i should put in. I put 700ml in on the last oil change but just seems alot and to change it every few rides costs a bit.. any one help me?? im using motul dexron iii atf if that makes a difference?? thanks in advance

my tank sits like this, slight gap with a thick foam gasket. pipes and rad fan are close to the tank but never struggled to get tank to sit flush gear side sorry if the pics arent great took them on my phone. my advice would be to take the rear fender off and then try fitting the tank, mine goes in easier with rear fender off

iv got a 2002 txt280, have u actually got the tank in ?? is there a small gap from the frame to the tank?? on mine theres a foam gasket type thing around the bottom of the tank and that stops the tank from sittin flush but i think thats how its ment to be. ill go and take some pics in a min if u like. make sure when your re fitting that the radiator cap isnt stopping the tank from sitting, look for any wiring sticking, try taking the rear fender off and puttin the tank in see if that makes any difference

iv got this exzact problem mate, i cant get N when standing still with engine on, just roll forward and light tap down from 2nd and she goes in, better to be like this than to loose, dont want to be accidently hitting N when riding espically if you've only just started.

well the guys did a pretty good job of repairing my can..

got the bike back 2day and the guy that did it must be a god with a welder and grinder.. just looks like a scratch on the can now and hes managed to pull the pipe out more for me too, only just got home so ill post a photo tomorrow if i remeber to see what you lot think of the repair.

well hopefully ill pick the bike back up tomorrow, dropped it off this afternoon guys welding a plate on for me and cleaning my carb,hopefully will look alright. and as for the topic title i was surprised too that no one had put some immature comments haha

hi mate, iv just got myself some new booots, wulfsport trial boots, real comfy strong,supporting and as far as i can tell pretty hard wearing and nicely priced, used them today on wet muddy clay and i had no problems walking. heres the link to where i got mine from... top guys..dont pay for postage as mine turned up in 2days and it says

i no a different exhaust wont make any difference but just in case i need a new, can u get aftermarket ones?? and is this the cover your on about??http://www.trick-bits.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=40_50&product_id=79 how do u fix it to the pipe?

soo i was out riding 2day and after washing my bike off iv noticed that theres hole in my silencer.. noooo not the one thats surposed to be there. looks like my rear tyre has rubbed through it:( how can i fix this without buyin a new can?? and also where can i buy new silencers if i need one.. cant find them anywhere in the uk. bikes a 2002 gaser txt 280 if thats any help.. thanks

u said that you buffed up the discs, that will effect the brakes slightly, espically if theres a fine coat of polish left on them. the pads wont be able to grip the disc properly, i tried buffing up my discs on my jump bike and that made the brakes worse, over time they got better but it took a while.

thanks, well i figured that the only way to know how good or bad i am was to actually enter local trials. does anyone on here enter cornish trials??

iv watched trials before, i no how they work and what to do, as for tight turns i find those fairly easy as i ride cycle trials aswell, one thing i struggle with is going over big rocks and hoping the rear end around but i spose ill get that eventually, plus in all iv only been riding a trials bike a month soo i think im doing alrite. but practice makes perfect, and i am goin to enter the beginer trials to start with see how i get on

Im planning on doing a few of these videos soo im going to try and post them under this thread. day 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpFQEecCeNo&list=UUgJHeLaAVv2T2GBoVfebbEg&index=3&feature=plcp Day 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ99LkVmpxo&list=UUgJHeLaAVv2T2GBoVfebbEg&index=2&feature=plcp Day 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCnjsYIVEhE&list=UUgJHeLaAVv2T2GBoVfebbEg&index=1&feature=plcp just orderd my boots so no more ridding in wellys. and i have got my first trial on the 12th feb.. looking forward to it but same time pretty nervous. anyone riding st.columb on the 12th of feb ?? trying to get to no people on here as theres only myself and one other guy that are entering this trial.

thanks mate, iv managed to get on the acu site and im applying for a lisence now, iv got a motocross helmet currently but only because i had a pit bike before, looking to get a trials one soon and some boots before the next trial.soo all i need is an acu lisence?? obviously the gear, and then when i arrive at the gates do i fill out forms there to enter the trial on the day or do u have to apply via post or email before hand?

i didnt pay for anything as it was under warrenty, and all they said they did was replace plates and oil. probs give the guys a ring on monday see if they can shed any light on it as iv still got 2months warrenty on it

hello everyone, iv decided that im going to enter trials events in the uk this year. could someone tell me how i go about entering events please. here are a few questions: what do i need in order to enter events?? heard something about acu lisence, do i need one?? do you need to insure the bike? and what equipment do you have to have,boots,body armour,what type of helmet? thanks lewis

cheers for the replys, in order to check the clutch do i need to drain the oil out of the bike?? or can i just take the clutch cover off?? also why would it only do it when the clutch is pulled in? i thought this happened wen the clutched was released going by my searches on the forum. is it something i should get looked at or put up with it? and as for the replacement it was just the plates.

iv just had a new clutch fitted on my 2002 280 txt and now the clutch rattles quiet a bit but only when the clutch is pulled in, when u release the clutch it goes away. and also if u rev the rattle goes away... any ideas?? iv search the forum quickly but only found problems with rattles when clutch is release.. it doesnt effect the riding of the bike but before i had the clutch changed it didnt ratttle

true but thats when im off into the water surfing, soo im training in other ways
