General Trials Talk

hi,biking a while have kmx 125 and bandit 600,usually service them myself with haynes manual.Bought a 93 beta techno 250 about a month ago starts easy an running fine but can't get manual for it.Can anyone help with stuff like exact 2-stroke mix,what oil to use and how much,just general stuff to keep it going right and what to watch out for.Its a 93 so not overly worried about everything being bang on just for learning on,cheers for any help.

After much debate here on TC on where is ok, where is right, safe, bad or ‘ethical’ to ride, I can report that after having my bike road registered I have ridden for most of the summer straight from my house twice a week when and where I like without any trouble. Ive done roads, woods, quarries, disused rail lines and most places I like the look of to ride. Ive had a few questions from folks (ramblers & horse riders) along the way and ive just been polite and honest with them!, I also enjoy the countryside but I like to explore it on my trials bike instead of on foot. I always stop when horse riders appear and ive never had a bad experience with anyone. Been stopped …

Saw you were lurking Ian, so thought I would ask. Whatever happened to the converted mobile sanitation wagon thee and thi mate's were making into a bike carrying porno hut on wheel's

A plea for advice please: Could anyone advise me on the typical position of the sidecar wheel in relation to the bike rear wheel please? The track width, lead over the rear wheel and the toe-in please? I want to hang a chair that I've been given onto one of my pre-65 trials bikes. Or any advice on where to look for such information. Many thanks in advance.

Good to see from last weeks results that Shaun Morris is back in competitive action after his freak accident last year. Hope his recovery continues.

As the Manx 2 Day will be having it's 50th Anniversary Trial, the committee is hoping to find as much memrobelia as possibly from the last 50 years. We only need a copy of whatever anybody has and all will be displayed over the 2 day weekend. If anyone has anything from photos to programs, you can send a copy of them to Tony Temple, Uplands, Main Road, Glen Vine, Isle of Man, IM4 4AZ or if you have any on computer you can email them to tony.temple@heronandbrearley.com. All help will be greatly appreciated as this is a special year for the trial. Here's to the 50th Manx National Two Day Trial. Manx2day.com

Noobie here....... Just purchased an '04 315R stock chain and sprockets are ready for replacement. Most off-road/MX chains appear to be too heavy for the trials bikes. I'd prefer to run a non o-ring chain for weight and reduced drag. I'm looking at the Regina EBXL 135. What do you use and why? Thanks!

Hi I am looking for help/information about my 1980 Fantic 200 rear kick please. I am in the process of sorting out my Fantic 200 and the distance between the shock mounting points is 203mm from inside frame mounting point to inside mounting point at the top on the frame and 220mm for the same points on the swinging arm this does'nt seem right to me and nothing seems to be bent, even with the wheel in and done up the bottom distance is still 215mm so the rear shocks are not parallel. I wonder if someone has replaced the swinging arm with one from a different Fantic. Any views or help would be appreciated. Thank you.

This might not be the correct forum but... When I try to look thru all the posts on here I can look at 4 or 5 pages then I am taken to the last page. That leaves 100+ pages that I am unable to see? What am I doing wrong?

On todotrial here shows Raga's hometown celebrating his indoor title. I think Silsden must just expect several world titles. Shows the difference in how the sport is perceived in Spain to here.
