Hello, Just wondering having read the post a little further down with regards to this subject. I have an '02 Montesa 315R and when i purchased the bike i was advised to use 25ml of oil to every Liter of fuel... Does this sound about right for you guys out their that are also running similar bikes?? I seem to remember seeing something in the manual about the fuel mixture but i'm currently offshore on the rigs and don't have access to it until i get home... Regards, Ben. P.S Sorry if i seem to be posting alot but i'm new to the scene and am quite excited / enthralled in my recent adventure into riding.

Hi boys and girls im struggling to find seals for my hebo caliper on a 2001 txt 249. Does anyone know if seals from another machine will fit . Pistons are 24mm OD or are there any other calipers that will fit my machine? Regards sam

If this is in the wrong section please feel free to move it. We go abroad to my partners family's house in Cannes, South of France. Usually go on bikes or cars. Was thinking this year of going in van and putting superbike in and also putting Honda RTL in and maybe going a few days earlier providing there was somewhere to ride in the Alps / South of France. Anyone done any tours or these trial bike holidays? Any links to sites or useful information? Thanks in advance. Joe

I am giving the forks on my Merlin a service. The forks are telesco, which I am not familiar with. Does anyone have a tech manual for them? Only one leg has a spring with a pre-tension mechanism. The other seems to house some sort of damping/rebound mechanism, with a 1 to 7 dial. My main question is how much oil in each leg and what grade? What does the 1 to 7 dial do? Chrs Loose Bruce

Hi All, I am wondering if anyone has a workshop manual and wiring diagram for a 2004 Gas Gas TXT Pro 250 ? I have just brought the bike and want to do some upgrades and maintenance on it. I also want to replace the kill switch with a magnet strap one as it currently has a push button kill switch, so any advice and recommendations on the best/easiest one to fit would be a great help . Cheers Luke

I officially despise the "Gas Gas" Style Nut holding in the taps on metal tanks. That's two that have split trying to refit the tap on the Jotagas. Getting both tight and the tap in the right place is so bloody annoying!!!!!!!!!!! Anybody have any tips!

Aware that there are rules and regulations that the police have to enforce and teetering on the edge of actually following some I thought I’d make a possibly almost legal registration number plate. Not just another bolt on item just waiting to slice into a leg or rip your manhood off! This was to be a retractable marvel. Photos attached, the grey mud flap was fitted because as usual the plastic mudguards are too short, so aesthetics meant a mod. The flap is very flexible, and there is a Velcro pad at the bottom. The number plate I made from a file folder cover it’s black plastic and very flexible to. I considered buying a flexible reg plate off the internet but at £17+ a…
