as above anybody know 2016 dates for the above 2 trials Thanks

need some new kit 36/38" waist in jeans etc but have decent sized thighs from weights/rugby/cycling. thinking some jitsie or MOTs kit but unsure which is most generous - trials gear seems like cyclists gear - designed for malnourished whippets usually just use mx pants but a bit heavy when wet and fall down without the braces - rock on tommy any ideas on other makes? thanks

red hubs another tell tale sign its a painted black TR35

its a TR35. it should be red and white they had the alloy swing arm and usd forks - dont think the Supertrial had the alloy swing arm and it had gold coloured usd forks. the tr35 was the last a/c before the w/c zero. they then continued the Supertrial as a 'budget' bike and ran it alongside the early w/c bikes of the time

Thanks fellas Last EVO and REV3 had no issues Sounds like I need to get the old PTFE out Presume you know the abbreviation means - Plumbers Tape For Everything! Cheers

Anyone else experienced an occasional clunk of the headset and sorted it.. bearings smooth, top nut tight, clamp tight..? clunk occurs when putting front end down to earth, not every time, certain its from the headset not the forks. few clues before I strip it out may help Cheers

did you find out where the pedals fit yet? maybe one of these lads will know.

As title suggests my 2014 is occasionally prone to flooding, hard to tell when, sometimes when flat out over the fell over larger jumps/bumps, sometimes when sat, sometimes in the van, sometimes when the sky is too blue, sometimes when the wind blows from a certain direction..you get the idea. Usually clears, sometimes needs a tap with a rock on the bowl...mainly I just try to turn fuel off..just in case. Made mistake of leaving fuel on...after sitting it onto paddock stand last week.. removed plug, pumped it through..can I start - it can I hell. It was not 'hydraulic-ed' Cleaned float bowl, few small lumps of 'varnish'. Is getting a strong spark. Plugs seem to be getting only very slightly wet. Next step clean out all the jets in top of carb as perhaps not getting enough fuel through. It has not even hinted at starting in all of this and a few hundred kicks. My question is - is the float setting procedure same as on the rev3s in 2008 that came with Keihins? Anybody else had bother with recent Evos carbs? - my 07 rev3, and first evo were both spot on from new, unlike most others it seemed. any help appreciated Cheers

Any experience with the S3 (wide type) and Jitse rim tapes ie easy of fitment, durability? Regards

Anybody enlighten me as to the correct volume of oil per leg and weight of oil for 2010 250 evo? Thanks

Afternoon folks Anybody repaired the fan motor on an evo/rev3 ...or even techno I think. Or any trials bike come to that - mine is making a dry rumble when running and I suspect the bearings are goosed (good old pressure washer!) A new one is not exactly cheap as they only list the full motor/impeller and cowling as one part - all I think I need is a motor or better still to strip it down and swap some bearings in from a local factors. Just wondered if anyone has done it before, prior to me getting it started and having it in bits only to find the bearings don't remove etc cheers

I owned a couple, it may have just been me but the subframes are prone to snapping where they bolt into the main frame, give it a wobble about see it aint too loose ie broken. They are a pain to weld and can break again. Generally pretty sound solid and still serviceable. try and listen past the enevitable ancilliary rattles (levers foot rests etc) and try to listen for any rumbles from the bottom end and rattles from the top. There will be play in various bearings but I wouldnt worry about any of them too much, wheel bearings etc are cheap enough, suspension bearing kits a different matter but then again is it worth refreshing the full linkage on a 500 quid play bike - perhaps not. Any used off road bike of any age is a gamble as you will know but 550 on one of these is as safe as any I would say... Just remember there are loads of easy jobs that you can undertake when your tinkering time is free but you can soon be into a few hundred quid if you start thinking chain, sprockets, tyres pads, cable, hose ,...I guess what I am saying is check its been mechanically maintained and forget about the cosmetics. You dont want to buy it to immediatley throw money at it. Good luck hope it is a good 'un

if its the standard sprocket (supersprox?) check for fractures around the bolt holes on the sprocket. they are a poor design - each bolt hole is at 'point' in the sproket, mine fractured in 3 places. my advice would be swap it for a talon radialite, they are a different design, traditional, ie just a circle of metal is removed from the centre to allow it to sit onto the hub, much stronger.

Well of course it was the stator in the end. Why would I think any different after my rev3 stator failed at 18mths, my mates went on his rev3 the next week then again 6 months later! I did have some faith that the age old problem had been ironed out for the EVO, but alas no, seems they continue to fit the junk at the factory and replace under warranty until a year then charge you plenty when out of warranty. This bike is 20 months old, so no warranty or goodwill discount.

cheers for the responses to so far....but i am certain its not the kill switch as i always use a 'proper' yam style one and bin the junk they come with. i know all about the rev3 stator issues, been through that before! was really holding out faith that the stator issues had been well and truly put to bed on the evo, but we shall see as i have a new one, and cdi, on the way. wouldnt mind but i always ease back the flywheel cover and let the water drain out and dry out. was hoping folks would speak up and say 'yes i had to fit new one on my evo' or 'no the problem is generally not as prevalent as it was on the rev3'. at least this time it didnt cost me a DNF at sundays trial. i'll post back when its sorted! one things certain, i could do without a 175
