Your bike should go about 18-20 miles on a full tank, if your trial is a multi lap say 10 sections four laps over about a mile course then do your first two laps,top up and that will do, you may even get away without re-fueling but be a shame to run out mid section on section 39 or 40.
Theres more chance of me beating Toni Bou one day then having your bike scruitineered, make sure though for your own safety the brakes work well,wheel bearings are good, chain is not too tight or slack and all major bolts are nice and tight,wheel spokes are tight and not bent bust
Everyone turns a tyre to give a better edge, its unlikely you will notice any difference on downhills or braking
Pressure is dependant on the type of tyre you have and the condtions terrain, 4 is good for rocks and the dry,2-3 for wet ****e and slippy, I always have 6 in the front any lower and the wheel rolls
Hope all goes well, take your time theres plenty of it at a trial, make sure you watch and learn lines before going into a section, many people take different lines, and see where people are getting on and off the throttle in a section,
You'll love it
