  1. I like rental half waffle in the med. compound, no arm pump when I use these. Also KTM stock grips are pretty good.
  2. It smooths the bike out a mixture of brake clutch and motor. Its a subconscious thing not may people know they do it they just do. When you practice enough to where it becomes second nature then you become smooth, when you have to think about is where you mess up. As slow as trials is your movements have to be quick and never hesitate.
  3. Core exercises, bar risers, lower pegs,move them back and row the bars forward are all good but the first 1 is most important. Work the core.
  4. Pros it makes the front end lite,makes steering the rear wheel easier,gives you more room on the bike. Cons drop offs are harder, steering is quicker, harder on forearms may cause pump, I would put them straight up and down ride for awhile then mess with it till you find your grove. The cool thing about trials is we all have our own grove the trouble is finding it.
  5. Spacers raising the bars help, rolling them forward helps, stretching hamstrings help, core training helps, small back bends help but the best advise I could give is never do anything that bothers it. Always sit with an arch in your back never slump your low back always give it support.
  6. Ok, so you know what your riding is way over your head, but you still want to do it and do it right. A-lot of people touched on it but didn't explain fully. I biggest mistake any trials rider makes is to just stiff legged ride over something and let the bike do all the work by bending your legs and using the 2ft. of travel that you have in your body you would have more control. Use less gas and load and unload your rear shock when you leave the first group of rocks would give you more control when you land. The technic I would use is a double blip, practice bouncing the bike on flat ground using gas clutch and loading and unloading of the suspension. When you got the timing on that, you just ride up the first rock place the front wheel over the gap then load front and back suspension dump clutch, gas it a little and unload and you will bounce over the gap and have control of the bike. This will take most people about 2yrs. to learn but you can do it in about 2 weeks.

    This happened to me once and it was the float not adjusted right. If the carb is full and gas is still coming in its flooding the bike, just remove the bowl from the carb and with gas still hooked up push the floats up and if the fuel don't stop thats your problem.
  8. I had acl's replaced in both knees and I would recommend riding with a brace if at all possible.
  9. Carb is clogged the only reason it runs on choke is that its letting fuel in to the carb. Clean the carb and change fuel line, I had black hose do that exact thing on a 305.
  10. Warning don't ask Jon why he does something,LOL. Ok Jon we want to know why add the anti-seize is it that grease by itself is not sticky and nasty enough?
  11. 10/42 I might like 10/43 but I don't like 11/42 its to fast and I kill the motor to much.
  12. Most shocks are rebuild-able, problem is it will always leak and you will have to rebuild it once every 6mo to a year. Is the shock that great if not I would go for an upgrade in shock.
  13. I had a head on with another bike years ago, no real injures but I learned a trials bike is not made for high speed. It was a Fantic 305 in 6th gear!
  14. Check the rear shock, if its to stiff you can never bounce the rear tire. I've had people come to me and say the same thing and their shock was as stiff as an Enduro bike. The shock is what picks the bike up. But always remember hopping is nice but at the end of an event and your tired a good basic full lock turn is nice to have in your bag of tricks.
