http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SUZUKI-BEAMISH-MONOSHOCK-250cc-Trials-Bike-/180624551151?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item2a0e0fecef Now is this an air cooled monoshock or just a travesty ? Thought it was April 1st.

Hi there, can anyone explain how to correctly set the Float height on my 1977 Ossa Bing 26mm Carb There is a brass plate attached to the float which can be adjusted to get the right shut off but im not sure what the gap should be, Cheers, Vaughan

I am just about to put back together the bottom end on my Montesa Cota 247cc, Should I put the gaskets on, 1) dry 2) Small amount of gasket solution 3) lightly greased, I have read different ideas on this subject Thanks John H

where is the best place to pick up casings for a ty 250 twinshock? im not looking for new ones.

Have just been given a mikuni carb could anybody tell me which jets to use for my 250 ossa gripper. Thanks in advance Robin

Can the guy who had an ossa engine and wanted a frame reply to this, I have a friend who has loads of ossa spares i,ll give you his number and you can deal with him.

Just had the hubs and brake plates blasted for a Majesty I,m building. Need some advice as to what primer and paint to use to finish them with, before rebuilding the wheels. Thanks

The Montesa in question is a mixture of good and bad, and I don

After researching to the limits of "google", it appears that a "Keihin PWK 28 29S" carb is a direct fit for the 348. This flat-sided carb appeals to me as the swap should be *simple* The Keihin's intake and airbox diameters match that of the Amal MKII's measurements of 35mm diameter at the intake and 49mm diameter at the airbox. This means that the manifold and airbox rubbers will fit the carb. Anyone know if the [ oem as factory new ] jetting that the Keihin comes with will work for the 348? If not, which jets would need to be changed out and to what? Thanks.

I have been using my Fantic 240 to ride modern events on either the expert or inter route but this weekend seem to have blown the seals on both shocks. It currently has some betor experts on but I was wondering if spending more on some replacements (magicals/maxtons) they will be more likely to stand up to the abuse of bigger steps and drops than say some rockshocks? I know the rockshocks are re-buildable but in the long run do you think the higher end shocks will pay off in both strength and performance? All opinions welcome!

Where do I buy a good set of trials bars that are with a 6 or seven inch height or does anyone make risers for a TY250A? I would prefer that they had little or no sweep back.

does any body know where i can get a cheap front brake master cylinder for a 2004 sherco???

Hi Guys Does anyone out there know the thread size of the clamping screws for the Amal T80/200 throttle twistgrip? I've lost one and after spending ages searching the garage I cant find one that fits, and would rather get the right one than 'adapt' one. Cheers Rob

Would love to now more about this type of bike spotted at the DK Mansell trial last Sunday, there were two of them riding round...a brief chat with one of the riders, he mentioned tha the motor was made in China (a Honda copy?) 200cc and very sweet sounding indeed.

Popped the head off of my KT to lap the head and replace the gasket as I had a leak. While in there I grabbed hold of the piston and noticed what I think is excessive movement inside the cylinder. I realize that it’s an aluminum piston in an iron sleeve so some play is normal to compensate for expansion, but this seems more than it should be. That said what should it be? Thanks, Ron

A very dear friend of mine who unfortunatly is nearing the end cards made this little tank/seat unit for his ccm, I think it improves an already awsome piece of trials machinary, what do you think?

Just re-building my 349 and i noticed some cracking on the bottom yolks from inner leg holes .There is a set of 247 yolks on ebay but i'm unsure if they will fit a 349 from 1980? cheers Dave

Hi All, I cant find any info on how much oil to put in my Montesa Cota 200 1980/1 Forks, it is the Red frame, White Tank/Seat model, the forks bottoms are of a square shape, Thankyou, Vaughan.

Trawling around eBay and found this:- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290580270984&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_500wt_1152 Rather expensive? What do you think?
