I've had an account here for years, don't think I've ever posted.

The rear brake caliper on my Super Trial is pooched, with one of the sliders stuck in place, and not budging. Anyone know if the caliper/bracket from a 97 Techno will fit? Or maybe have a spare original caliper? I believe the original was used on the TR34/35 and Zero as well as the Super Trial. I can post up some pictures if need be of the caliper and bracket.

Sounds like you're running lean on the pilot. I've got a 93 Supertrial, basically the same bike. 240 motor. Same lights, horn, and brackets for passenger pegs. Double-check the carburetor. Mine has a Dellorto PHBH, not a PHBL, and it'll clog the pilot jet if I even look at it funny. Difference is air screw versus mixture screw. Drop the bowl on the carb, pull the slow jet, and run a fine piece of copper wire through it. When the pilot gets partially clogged, mine has exactly the same symptoms as yours. Whereabouts in upstate NY are you? I'm just outside of Troy, and hoping that the snow will melt in the yard in the next few days. Got some riding in last weekend, but we've been socked in with snow since Tuesday.

I've got a 93 Super Trial. The rear wheel has a tube-type rim and a rim lock. I've been thinking about converting to a tubeless rim. The path of least resistance would be to drop a whole new rear wheel in, and I can get a TR34 rear wheel for a decent price. Anyone know if this is a bolt-in replacement? Do I need to swap over the brake disc?
