  1. As the title says, it's not trials. So I hope it's not breaking any forum rules. On board an R1 with a crazy Russian guy who seems to be in a rush! Watch it on full screen for best effect
  2. Similar thread here.... http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/topic/26795-painting-engine-and-swing-arm/page__p__211349__hl__creosote__fromsearch__1#entry211349 Lowbrow's comment (post 2) about using a creosote brush to get the factory finnish had me in stitches when I read it.
  3. Hi I would like to see this video on youtube I have searched and can't find it can you post the details if you have it please! It's here...at 6.27 it shows how to adjust the gear selector. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A80n7zq80n8 Mine had difficulty selecting neutral and shifting. After I'd adjusted it correctly, I can change gears and select neutral easily.
  4. So....conclusion seems to be... Do's: Bung exhaust. Choke on Tip bike on side Dont's: Rip plug cap off Put into gear and stall
  5. Update. Looking through the exhaust port all seems ok. took the flywheel cover off, just to see if there was any bits or evidence of damage and found that the flywheel was loose and sheered wudruff key!! Strange coincidence but would seem to be the main reason for not starting. Been to GG this afternoon for gaskets and bits (also new clutch plate to bring into spec) and will build it all back up. Fingers crossed! Oh..and i bought a new kill switch
  6. Yeah, fuel on, and there is compression still. Never really thought to start checking the basics like spark etc. - just had that feeling of doom. Have the bike half stripped now. clutch side off and no sign of damage. Any further than this and I'm getting out of my depth. Eeek! Thanks for the advice. I'll put it back together this week and check the basics.
  7. Oops! First proper outing on my 2002 TXT Pro. (Just got back into trialsing after a few years absence) Had been fettling controls and settings. Started it up and throttle cable was not seated correctly in the adjuster where it enters the carb. Result - one screaming engine!! I went for the kill switch wich did nothing but give me a elec shock. So I turned the fuel off - Which obviously has no imediate affect. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and there's a few other things I could of done - Plug cap off, in gear and stall engine or cable out of throttle on handlebar. After what seemed an eternety, it boiled and started to spit coolant out. Another few seconds of panic elapsed and I decided to tip the bike on its (right hand) side, hoping the carb wouldn't supply fuel properly. It died alost immediatly. Waited about half an hour to let things cool down. Replenished the cooling fluid and seated cable correctly - but it wouldn't start. So...Damage - Possibly? probably? or no way of knowing without stripping the engine down? There's still compression when kicking the engine over. Any advice would be appreciated.
