You may be able to get it welded, I have had success on different bikes having aluminium welded on fork tubes at the wheel spindle, good luck

I have not ridden either venue for about a year but Cliviger was open Saturday and Sunday's don't get there to early the farmer collects fee in car park. Feniscowles again Sat & Sun drive up to farm house and ask for Peter he likes to show you where you can and cannot ride. Check no local trial on at time e.g Darwin, Rochdale, Bolton or Redrose at either venue etc. Maybe someone else can confirm the above is still correct. Cheers Birdy

Ride around whilst holding the front brake on, then when hot pour cold water on the disc and pads, it cleans up the pads and disc. I do it from time to time to keep brakes sharp. Cheers

I agree using a cover with a bike rack is fairly obvious what's underneath and unless you tie it down well the wind lifts it up at speed, may work better if you get one made to size. I have a similar problem I've got a trailer and rack, my works van gone back. I was thinking of buying a covered trailer which would be cheaper than running a van and car.

Make sure you have a little free play on the brake lever. enjoy Birdy.

I agree, great gloves, keep hands warm when raining. Wulfsport gear is great value generally and lasts well. I'm not affiliated with Wulfsport in any way. Cheers. Birdy

I am not sure of the exact year but on the 250 the engine case, cylinder and base gasket changed from having a step in the rear around 1998 Black / Grey Dougie Lampkin Replica, so are not interchangeable before that, maybe someone else can can confirm?

Was the bike bought as a non runner? Try all the above first but if still no joy do a compression test with a compression tester, I had same problem, it felt like loads of compression on kicking over but tested with meter and not enough, stripped and piston rings stuck on one side as partially siezed. Cleaned up ring grooves on piston and 4 years later still going strong, good luck.

I had a cracked spindle clamp I wanted welding, and it came apart by unscrewing as said before, I couldn't remember if it had an o ring or not, and the great Jim Snell video above, says to that they use threadlock, but he doesn't say if has o ring or not. I think you have nothing to lose if it has just come loose, you may have to use some gasket sealer threadlock etc, and if the thread is o.k just screw back together, before buying a new fork tube. Cheers

The sliver part is screwed onto the black fork tube, with possibly an o ring to seal, undo the mudguard clamp of the the black fork tube and check if loose. If tight strip and check if has o ring, I checked parts diagram but it doesn't show fork internals. As said above the oil looks past its best and will be low as leaking, I have used Dextron 3 Atf as a fork, oil similar to 7.5 fork oil, but much cheaper especially if checking for leak, it also can be used as a gearbox oil as well, let me know how you get on, good luck Birdy.

Wulfsport neoprene are good, they are long on the wrist so you can put inside the sleeve of your waterproof jacket.

Steve is correct, Rev 3 won't fit, new ones are hard to find, try trials breakers like Richard Allen 01933 314145 Tor Moto breaks bikes or ebay good luck.

Dexron III ATF for the gearbox, fill until you can see half way up in sight glass window near gear lever, make sure bike on wheels and sitting level. Enjoy.

What about a left kick start bike like a Beta?

I just read totty79 comment from the 17th, bikes vary from make to make e.g I understand a New 250 Gas Gas is more agresive than The equivalent New 250 Evo?
