General Trials Talk

Hi all Just returning to trials and was wondering where to buy a budget front tyre . I am only going to have a play and not taking it seriously. Regards Wayne

I went to change my gearbox oil and noticed I’d bought dexron2 atf mineral, Is there a difference between dexron2 or dexron2 mineral or is it all mineral oil. I’m just wary it knackers the seals. Many thanks in advance folks

No new petrol or diesel cars in Old Blighty from 2035. Assume this will apply to bikes too? And then this TY pic pops up on my Instagram feed...nice!

A week after a -40 degree Celsius cold snap on the prairies in Canada, the Moto Trials Group of Alberta (check us out on Facebook) hosted a great two day event. Horse riding arenas make great trials venues during a cold Canadian winter.

Hi! I am getting back into trials bike and i would like to know what you guys think about these bikes. I found a Beta rev3 270 2008 for 3200 $ CND and a Montesa Cota 4rt 250 2008 for 4100 $ CND they both are in pretty good shape, but they were not ridden a lot in the past couple years. No much signs of corrosion, mostly normal use scratches. Do you think it's worth the money, or I should put a little more for a newer bike, like a 2016 Vertigo combat 300cc for 5000 CND Thanks a lot for your advices! JF

I’m repacking the muffler on my Beta Rev 3, and I need to replace two O rings. This is my first time doing this, so I’m not sure if I need specialised, heat resistant O rings or can I use the common ones from the local home centre? I asked at the local home centre but they didn’t know. Thanks in advance.

Anyone build there own engine stand? I’ve used the wooden box stand for years. Decided to look into building a metal stand that rotates. Here are a few ideas I’ve found.

Hi, is it permissible for an over 50 rider to ride in the clubman group for instance as an alternative to 0/50 clubman route? would it be possible to ride in a club or national championship doing this? Thanks in anticipation.

Hello, I was looking for recommendations for some wonder product, - capable of cleaning up grubby cast engine parts. The less physical exertion the better, any recommendations? Alloy wheel cleaner any good, or what do you use. I want it like new again, if possible. Thanks

Hi all is the jitsie stuff better than original i keep seeing jitsie wheels and parts and just about everything you can buy is it that much different from manufacturers

I've been running twinshocks and Pre 65 all my life but have recently bought a 270 Rev 3 and upon investigation the rim is corroded on the inside, not as bad as a twinshock Honda or Air cooled Yamaha if you know what i mean, around all the spoke nipples and i think this is why it kept going down. I've cleaned it up as best i can but cant get into around each nipple without a wheel rebuild and is so would probably just have to fit a new rim. I've been told by a couple of people that you can run a tubeless tyre on a tubeless rim with a tube but without security bolts. Now from past experience with pre 65 and twinshocks, ok they were tubed tyres on tubed rims, this would be …

Hi, I'd like to know if trial bike with lithium batteries have also problem in winter with starting? Currently have sherco enduro 300se and in cold weather need to push button like 4-5 times... and restarting later also takes 2-3 times sometimes.

Hi what's a good starter bike for my daughter to have as her first trials bike. I ride GasGas 250 and Bultaco 250/350 which are a bit quick even with a slow throttle fitted so I'm thinking 125cc any good ones going at the moment cheap.

Wanting to get into trials and purchased a used bike in my price range, looking for 2000-2010 roughly, between sherco, gas gas, beta and montesa(315r) which is the best bike to fit the criteria? Which of them had significant updates if any that separated them (new tech, new frame, etc) not looking for a p****** match between brands, just looking for good information about the realities of each brand and what they do better than the others, etc Thanks for the Help!

Does anyone please know if the numbers on both jets and slide fitted to Delorto and Mikuni mean the same and can be directly compared?

Wondering if anyone has managed to sneak a peak at any of the pros back protectors at events, etc. You can sometimes get a look at Bincaz's, because it pops out the bottom of his untucked shirt. It looks to me like he's wearing a road race type hard shell articulated protector. As for the rest of them, I haven't seen any specifics. I ask largely because, without naming names, I've been 100% disappointed in the trials manufactured back protectors that I've tried. I'm thinking about going to something I'm familiar with from the road race world, but I wouldn't mind knowing what some of the pros have landed on now that they're being mandated.

Evening all, Have a question on tyre sealing! Any hints or tips! The rear on my Gasgas was fine, until I rotated it! Now it looses pressure, within hours! I've filled with tyre sealant, but it doesn't seem to make any difference? Any pointers appreciated! Thanks,
