    Whilst the leg appears similar the bracket is a lot different TBH. I know, I have both..................

  3. That's as maybe, but I wouldn't think Honda/Montesa would spec full compliment if they didn't think it was necessary. Full compliment have a greater load rating I believe............
  4. It is VERY important to also check/replace the two more bearings that are in the swinging arm, these,if neglected can result in a very expensive repair....... Whilst agreeing with the above statement I would be wary of May be cheapest but they aren't the correct needle rollers in their kit - should be full compliment type..............
  5. It is indeed a temperature related problem and I am glad you've now read the article properly. Whilst you may well get away with using AVGAS on a high revving hard working engine just be warned that you may well have the problems mentioned if used in a trials engine that is just pottering about at low revs - I know I did. As you say, safety reasons due the problem of using Ethanol as a substitute to prevent pre-ignition etc. But one of the problems IMHO is that it is a misnomer to call it LL when in fact it has a lot more TEL than the leaded fuel we used to be able to buy at the pumps. I believe the LL is just to try and appease the green lobby.....

  7. Nothing to do with that, you will have valve sticking issues - I know this from experience............ Have a read.. https://resources.savvyaviation.com/wp-content/uploads/articles_aopa/AOPA_2020-07_why-valves-stick.pdf
  8. Do not use neat 100LL AVGAS, you will have problems...........................
  9. Hooray, for once a correct and sensible answer on here! Take note especially of the last sentence.
  10. Usually 1.5mm pitch for both. Check yours with pitch gauge to be sure. (or use a standard M10 bolt to check against as they are 1.5mm pitch)
  11. I suggest you check thread dia to see if it is 14 or 16mm then just do a search on evilbay for Honda petrol tap (loads on there) find the one that is right size etc see what model(s) it fits and buy a genuine Honda one rather than the chinese **** that proliferates on there! 🙂
  12. Could use a honda tap - probably same thread.
  13. Richard Allen used trials spares on Facebook 07917 406313 richardandshani@googlemail.com
  14. Try Richard Allen, he usually has lots of useful bits.
  15. Should be two types of head gear, nice flat cap for the summer and a wooly hat for the winter. IMHO and some sensible sections to suit....... 😉
  16. The Showa bearings won't fit the other shock.16v are larger OD and wider, hence bushes are different.
  17. If it has a Olle shock it will need the correct bushes. The spherical bearings are different from the ones fitted to the Showa shocks.
  18. If you want it to last, suggest you grease the tensioner pivot,dogbone bearings (inc ones in swinging arm)and the wheel bearings. Others have found the steering head bearings to be a bit lacking of grease as well. Hope this helps.
  19. Dennis_Cambodia https://www.jauce.com/auction/o1076309551 This would help you (in Japan with other stuff as well) may be easier than sourcing from UK......
  20. Not in the slightest.............
  21. Couldn't agree more, used them loads of times and are standard fit on some applications that I can think of. M7 kits are quite cheap but would stick with either Re-Coil or V-Coil for quality.... e.g.https://www.lawson-his.co.uk/recoil-35078-replaces-35070-pro-xl-m7-x-1-0-metric-coarse-thread-repair-kit p.s shouldn't need loctiting either. IMHO
  22. I don't regard education as a hassle really. I agree with a certain N.Mandela who said "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." 🙂
  23. e.g. Rear reflectors are not needed on motorcycles that: do not have front and rear position lamps fitted.
