Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has fitted an OKO 24mm flatslide carb (copy of Kehin PKW) to their TLR? If just fitted one (with a lot of mucking about) pilot is #55, main is #118. Needle on centre groove. Runs ok to mid throttle, then like ***** above that. Just wondering what others have done.

Pictures would really help, otherwise we're just guessing. Every picture I can find of a TRS has the valve stem and rim lock 180° apart.

Can you get a panel beater to plastic weld?

The Montesa Cota 348 Facebook page has lots of 348 documentation available to download, under the Files tab

If the rim has no rim lock hole it is designed for tubeless. You want a Radial tubeless rear and a tube type front that has a rim lock.

The barrel need a new plating.

To me stock means how they leave the factory, and like 99.99% of all trials bikes across all brands leave the factory, with a conventional front tube. If it does indeed have a tubliss system installed, I can't say for sure as I haven't seen your bike (but it really sounds like it), then imo it's not stock. If you want to think your bike is stock, come on a forum and ask why your front wheel is different than every other trials bike, and still be adamant yours is stock, by all means you are free to do so. It just means every other person who owns a trials bike with a conventional front tube has the non stock option fitted, because yours is the stock option. The stock option of 1 in a 1000

I can't really advise having never owned nor ridden a pre 06 gg, but at the time I remember people saying it made a noticeable difference when the light spring came in 06. There's also the chance someone has fitted the later spring to your 05. As for modifying or replacing the plates I wouldn't be in a rush to do that if the clutch is functioning ok

Ive had both, rebought the older design when they went with formula in 2012 ish, never noticed much difference. Its lies in the toolbox as a spare

I've been looking through the available lit, and searching the forum. I'm still not positive what tires to put on this bike. The giant knobbys have to go. Are the stock rims meant for tubeless tires? Even though this bike is 20 years old, it's light years ahead of my tl125. I've never owned anything this new. Thanks for putting up with these noob questions.

the rear finish plate is cracked on my Italjet Shopping 50, found out the model is niche and there isn’t any research online about it, basically lost to the internet any other enthusiasts with info I would love any info you have I have the original owners manual but it’s in Italian and that doesn’t help with finding parts does anyone know if the parts are interchangeable on any other Italjet scooters for this model

Every new bike came with a nice printed service manual, so you are looking for somebody that owned one since new and still has it.

I hope this helps. https://www.carlsalter.com/download.asp?p=1074

I have an ad somewhere from a 1964 magazine advertising Sprite trials bikes.

Looking for crankshaft specs for spacing and truing. Would like to find service manual. Appreciate any leads.

Just picked up an 88 303. Plan on riding it as a volunter checker @ a local club. It needs some TLC, but that's the fun.

Little work to machine a M9x100 bolt.

The effective length of my lever setup provides very near double the leverage of a "close to the fulcrum point" setup. 105mm vs 55mm. ... just measured it Setup works best for old veteran smashed up arthritic hands. If you experience arm pump you likely need to adjust the start of the clutch lever friction zone even closer to the bars, shown in the picture is ideal such that your finger can curl one knuckle from the bars, like a comfortable trigger.

If the clutch works nice right now, I would modify the lever to address your lever problem. Shorty levers with perches moved way in on the bars and the lever adjusted so your finger can comfortably be at the clutch friction point. You will rarely bend or bust levers in a crash and never crush your grip fingers behind the lever in a fall 🤓 inexpensive modification to try.

Not to do with the size of the piston or reservoir with the bigger size clutch master cylinder , it is the position of the fulcrum being different between the two.

Thank you for the message, I was told it was 06’ but the V5 came through the door and it’s a 55 plate reg. So it could be a 05. so you think I strip it down and measure the thickness of the clutch pack and if necessary replacing the discs and the spring plate?

Are you 100% sure it's 06? The reason im saying that up to 05 they had a heavier belleville spring but in 06 they came with a lighter spring. A dragging clutch may hint at too thick of a clutch pack which also makes the clutch heavier. Personally i wouldn't waste my time playing about with master cylinders, they all use the same size piston and the differences are negligible

There isn’t really a proper guide for making a universal trials seat like the Apico ones, so most riders just end up building their own through trial and error. Typically, it starts with a thin base plate shaped to fit the subframe, then a low-profile foam layer is added for comfort. After that, it’s wrapped in a tough vinyl cover for grip and durability. Mounting is usually kept simple with straps or basic bolt points so it can be used across different bikes. The main challenge is keeping it small and out of the way so it doesn’t interfere when you’re standing and riding.

I’m guessing here because I haven’t seen either one in real life but I’d bet the frames are identical which means you could probably take the seat off and put the standard fenders and gas tank on. Call a dealer or Sherco and ask.
