Hi, thanks for all the helpful replies, I will order a bottle of fst pro and give it a try, also going to give the carb and air box a clean out tomorrow just to make sure there's no water in there. hope to get out this weekend and see how it goes, think the weathers still going to be cold so should be good to try some of the tips. thanks again.

Hi, looking for some help or info on carb freezing, I have a 2011 sherco 290 with a dellorto phbl 26 fitted, I was out on the weekend and the throttle stuck open 3 times, it didn't do it while I was riding the bike, it did it when I gave the bike a quick rev after I had been running about on it for around 20mins, once I got it to cut out I looked at the carb and it had a coat of frost over it. I let the bike sit for 5 mins, then try to start it again and it was perfect, at this point the frost had gone from the carb, 20mins out on the bike again and the same thing all over. it was my 1st time out on the bike and was just toting around in low revs, when I gave a quick couple of revs to the bike it was out of gear and prob a higher rev than when I was riding it. the 3rd time it did it was after I washed it at the garage then brought it home a few miles on the trailer, I dryed it of at the house took it along the street came back gave I couple of revs and it did it again. the temp was around 0/-1 all day and prob had a wind chill of even lower. any help would be appreciated.

Hi, thanks for all the reply's, I had heard of the wobblers and thought that would be a great start for my first trial, some more time on the bike and I will look into it. I should have said in my 1st post that that I joined the bob Macgregor trials academy, that's where I spent my first day on the bike, superb place with friendly and helpful people, I hope to try the Saturday training as soon as I can. cheers

Hi all, just got my first trials bike a few weeks ago, 2011 sherco 290, prob not the best choice for a 1st trials but was out last weekend and got on ok, don't get me wrong,I was only just getting a feel for the bike and didn't try anything to adventurous. had a great day even though it was snowing, raining, windy and I had to keep going back to the van to thaw out my fingers, any tips on bike setup/upgrades to help me along would be greatly appreciated. cheers
