In case they have not told you, the pressure plate only goes on one way. On the clutch one of the posts will have a notch in the end of it. That aligns with a mark on the pressure plate. Good luck.

Not been to Belgium for years. Won't ever forget it - got lost on some back streets on a weird one way system with the sat nav frozen, so just headed east thinking we will get to a main road eventually and find the way out. Annoyingly builders wagons kept stopping every few feet, and it was 7am - there was no traffic delays why did they keep stopping?.....then I looked at one of these tall houses, and realised we were going through a red-light zone! 😂 That turned into a frantic escape of the area, honking anyone that stopped to move! But otherwise the country was very nice and would have liked to discover more of the rural areas. Will get back over there one day I am sure.

I assume this is cheap pwk copy? I have fitted a koso to my m159 (325) Bultaco, after bit of jetting it runs well. When I fitted it it flooded and I had to bend the float tang to cure. I only really wanted to see if it would work as the standard Bing was stuffed. I know people will say they are rubbish, but it is a cheap way to test if a Keihin would work

It might be A but it sure aint I.

Anyone used the nibbi carb as a replacement..? The Amal MK2 2627 on my TR77 needs a complete rebuild including a New slide. I can buy the nibbi And a selection of jets cheaper 🤦‍♂️ do I replace or rebuild

???? Is this some Ai crap.

Colomer. Pronounced Colom air. I seem to remember Woody Hole starting this Colome rename for some reason known only to himself while doing the commentary for Bennett Trials Videos in the 1990s.

Not sure if this will help but having a slightly dirty potentiometer can act like that I would think. I've used both Magura and Domino on several bikes and I don't recall that either one uses a hall effect sensor. You can observe the "dirty" signal as an erratic ohm value when tested disconnected from bike. A 0-5k pot with three wires will read about 5k ohms between two wires regardless of twisting position. The third wire is the signal where you would observe the erratic resistance across it and either of the two other wires. Its a simple metal wiper (signal) that moves across a fixed wire wound 'fixed' resistor. But it could be a hall type non-contact also used a lot. I've seen quite a few 'dirty' reading throttle pots and they usually are near the lower throttle position, likely due to more wiping at low throttle.

I talked to Dirt Riders and told him BS i got from seller(you have to let the clutch warm up before it will disengage) He had heard it before and told me 1. crankcase had been contaminated or mixed disk was not installed or installed wrong. Waiting on a clutch now

Yep i knew it is 301 iv’e got the parts book just thought that number majesty gave me inthe link cross referenced, your right tony it doesn’t fit they’ve got back to me, i must be able to get one from somewhere last time i tried sherco themselves they didn’t even reply🥴 anyone else got any ideas?🤞

Link to parts books from Splatshop SE 4.5i-F * 2006 Looks like you're after part number 0301 which is nothing like what is used on the trials bikes Stand Holder End 450 this should be the part

Thanks majesty for the link, iv’e just messaged them to confirm it fits cheerz mdeerzp

Send a self addressed envelope to Vertigo?

I used to see Jon at trials in the Cotswolds (of course!) but I've not seen him for at least a year. Maybe he's retired from trials stuff.

Hi, I’m looking to purchase an autograph of Marc Colome for my collection, does anybody know where I could get one. Thanks

The few bikes I have had a go on with different engine modes didn't really ride a lot different just had the power come on stronger in a different location in the RPM range. Just for consideration. (never had a go on a Beta with an S3 Header and Arrow so can't speak to that exact setup though) Good luck. PS. Best trials bike modification I have ever had a go on was suspension setup for myself.

There is an axiom from motorsports that success in auto racing is 75% car, 25% driver. In motorcycle racing, it's more like 25% bike, 75% rider. I would venture a guess that in trials it's 10% bike, 90% rider.

Hi, I’m struggling to find the bracket for my sidestand it’s for a 2006 450i enduro any ideas please? Iv’e tried splat shop, malcom rathmells, ebay etc, hope iv’e posted in the right section cheers mdears

I have a Montesa Cota 248 trials bike, frame number 21M51469 and am trying to find the age of it. Does anyone know how to age this?

Anyone selling a Bosi Arrow exhaust system for a Beta factory 200 24 model, Chasing info if the aftermarket S3 header pipes make a difference to performance

Hello , i am 62 and did championchip trial last year for West- Flanders in Belgium and ended secont nationals....!!!, but i ride almost all my live...

Based in the West Midlands area. Will be doing a little poking around the area soon. Thanks, makes me feel better knowing I am not the only one that thinks growing up is optional, I was expecting many youngsters. I'm a little over 15st - or as I like to put it: 'I once had a six pack - now I'm older I can afford a barrel' I'm probably being harsh on myself, but was always fairly trim until I had the spinal injury which changed things being laid up so long. Came from a Speedway line from young, so bikes were in the blood. Still associate the smell of gunk with speedway bikes in my uncles garage.

Ukbta, welcome! I’m 64 and took up trials again three years ago after a 45 year gap. I’m not fat though but you make it sound like it’s fun. I may give it a try myself. Also, my friend from high school, just started up again too, and he is fat and is enjoying riding again immensely. We met up up in the Owyhee mountains in the Idaho desert just a month ago to relive old times. We had a great time! No, we’re not experts at all but it’s still a blast. Give it a go!
