Lowbrow - thanks, it just may be... I'll check now....

Hi all. After beginning a bit of exploration into a heavy / sticking clutch, I've noticed that I seem to have an 'extra' washer. Tbh, I'm not sure where it came from as it dropped into my hand as I took the engine casing off (I think). On the enclosed picture, it's the 3rd one down, above the ruler. I've also enclosed a few pics of the thrust washer, with measurements, just in case someone has tried in the past to use non-standard parts. It's the first time I've looked inside so I'm not sure what has happened with previous owners, but what I do know is what I see does not match the parts manual... All info greatly appreciated....

Yeah, that's exactly what I've found. Anyone know what's going on?

Can anyone see these now? It seems that they have all been made private?

Thaks for the replies. Looks like it is the thermo switch then. Like I say, the fan runs from cold therefore I'm not sure it is an issue with the pump (I bloody hope not as I replaced the innards 6 weeks ago!) but I'll check.

Hi all. The fan is now running all the time on the above bike. It seems to have been doing this since I last cleaned it. The coolant level is ok, all I've done so far is check the two connections on the thermo sensor with a multimeter and with a cold engine it gives 100% continuity across them. Before I order a new one, is there anything else I need to investigate? Cheers.

Hi all. Finally got round to taking a proper look at the above bike that I bought some time ago, then had shipped to me in Germany. The snail adjusters are all the way out, the tensioner is hard against the swingarm so I'm reckoning that it's time for a new c&s. Current setup is 9F, 44R with a 102 link chain. Is this correct and the chain needs to be replaced or is it that the chain is just too long? Cheers

Vent in breather hose was in the wrong way round!? I've put this right, and the issue seems to have gone away.... Now this is sorted, any tips on how to set the idle correctly? I'm not familiar with his carb at all..... This is the first time I've owned a trials bike, and at present all I can get it to do is either pull me round slow manoeuvres way too quickly or stall! The Montesa 315 I rode the other week was great as it would just chug along in slower manoeuvres with no throttle at all, but at a really slow pace... Is the same achievable with my bike or is the 125cc engine way too small for this? Thanks again,

Ok, a little more help required please.... Carb cleaned, fresh fuel in (66:1 ratio) and new plug fitted. Air filter cleaned and all hoses blown through. Bike started and ran for quite some time then just bogged and died. The only way I could get it to start and run again was on the choke, effectively using it as a makeshift throttle. Eventually it would ride again as normal on the throttle. At present I have the two screws on the side of the carb set as follows: Smaller one (nearest the front of the bike) 4 turns out. Larger one (closest to rear of bike) 3 1/2 turns out. Any ideas anyone? Thanks in advance (as always!)

Thanks guys. Anyone know the correct plug type and gap?

Thanks for the tips. Also just realised that spark plug(s) weren't on my shopping list! Bike and I will be reunited next weekend hopefully, so will let you know the progress....

Good afternoon all. As some of you may have seen from previous posts, I have recently bought the above bike. It was bought as a “non-runner” (at a matching price) on account of the fact that the vendor couldn’t get it started and running for more than a few seconds. Obviously this is the first problem I need to solve, and I’m looking for any hints / tips anyone may have.... Time and resource is limited as I live in Munich and the bike is currently in the UK, I want to get it running properly before bringing it over here and have around two days to do so.... The bike hasn’t really been used for a year, kicks over eventually and fires, then dies after a couple of seconds – It sounds like it’s bogging full of fuel, likewise, when you touch the throttle it dies instantly. It was running a couple of weeks ago but I only saw a video clip of it, rather than in person. Here are the steps I’m looking to take, please feel free to help me by offering more.. (Fuel is already drained out) Strip, clean and reassemble carb, replace any blocked jets as required. Check float level and condition. Decoke centre silencer. What is the easiest way to do this without cutting a hole in the back? Is caustic soda ok on this, if so, what’s the ratio to mix? Alternatively, I’ve heard brake cleaner may also be an option? Check reeds – I’m new to older 2T maintenance – What do I need to look for? Stator – I’ve heard these can be an issue. What is the resistance rating and across which points? Compression check – Again, ideal measurements would be helpful here... Other than that, it needs a fork seal which I can handle... Thanks in advance...

Thanks. It's a Pro. Also found this video clip which helped confirm things..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8noDvCjDqE

Stupid question, but how do I tell the difference between the TXT and the Pro model? 2002/2003 seems to be the changeover year.... According to the chassis number, bike is an 02 model, built in Jan 03......

Hi all. As you can see I'm pretty new to this forum, and to trials in general - I'm making he cross over from enduro. I'm going to look at a Gas Gas TXT 125 later today, and would be grateful of any tips and hints on what to look for / look out for. As I'm new to the sport, and only weigh 63 kilos I think a 125 will be just fine for me! Thanks in advance for your help...
