Hello. I recently bought a Sherco ST300 and whilst cosmetically very good, it has had some poor servicing/maintenance before my ownership. The latest was discovered whilst fitting new tyres. The front wheel spindle has damaged threads and has been wound in regardless at some point. I'm wanting to run a tap in the thread on the form and a die but on the spindle (may replace the spindle if does clean up nice). Does anyone know what the thread is? I think it's M18 × 1.5 but would like to know for sure before I order a tap and die. Cheers Graham

I know this is a old subject BUT has anyone got any pics of two trials bikes in a second generation Berlingo Van 2009-2017 ish. I'd like to be 100% sure before I buy one. I know other small vans can but it's a Berlingo that I prefer. Cheers Graham

Hi guys Did the clutch fix today, took 3 hours and thoroughly enjoyed it, far better than paying. The difference was better than I could have hoped, engaged smoothly, no drag, easy to find neutral. A new plug went in and a silencer repack and it's a different machine. Joined my local trials park, waiting for pass to come though and I'm off, probably falling off but everyone did/does, right?

A genuine thank you for all of your replies. Going to do the clutch mod myself at the weekend, if I don't try I'll never learn. Thanks again

Hi guys. My first trials bike aged 48, thought I'd give it a go after years of road bikes. I've bought a 2006 beta rev3 200cc, 1 middle aged owner from new, cosmetically very good and I got carried away with this notion. The more I looked the more I noticed, brakes worn down to metal, knackered chain etc, I've done a fair few jobs and the bills are totting up. The main problem is when I start the bike and engage gear it lurches forward and stalls, I changed the gearbox oil and it still does it, I rock it in gear before hand. I've read about the clutch fix, the thing is how and where exactly do I start? Is it best with the bike upright or laid on its side? I drain the oil first? When I remove the cover is there a gasket that'll need replacing? Is there anything that will drop out once cover is removed? Any specific tools required? I'm not a total numpty I fabricate/engineer plastic items for pharmaceutical companies etc, use lathes, milling machines etc it's just I've never been inside a engine before. Thanks in advance
