General Trials Talk

Hi folks. I've not long treated myself to a TRS One R 250 and was hoping you could please advise on what tools I should have in the garage for maintenance and repair? Size of socket sets etc? My knowledge is pretty limited so it will be a learning on the job scenario as stuff breaks and maintenance is required. Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks

Greetings, Beginner rider with six months of riding under my belt here. I'm a heavy dude (currently 140kg, actually using the bike to lose weight) and put 10wt oil in the forks of my Beta when I first got it and got new, heavier springs for it. I'm in the midst of a fork seal change right now and the oil already looks ready to change, so I figured I'd do that as well - would you recommend I go back down to 5wt oil, or maybe 7.5wt? I'm frankly a bit clueless when it comes to the finer points of suspension, but I have noticed experienced riders can nearly bottom out their forks just lightly hopping in place. Mine seems a lot firmer, and it's a touch difficult to g…

As I've now got my son into trial I fancy a bike to ride. I'm disabled with a arm injury & I'm looking for riders experiences with the montesa 4rt. I'm a tall lad & I'm not looking to compete, I darent as my injury is severe, I do however want to have a bike to ride around, climb some hills & just have a bit of fun with my son. I gave up trials as I was far to busy racing speedway & I had a late 90s model gasgas. The 4rt had just arrived & saw Douggie on it, i just thought it was a superb bike & I kind of have my heart set on one. How do they compare to the 2 strokes? Does a 2 stroke bike have advantages apart from weight. I can't…

I've decided on a TRS one but I'm getting mixed reviews between the One R and RR. I've heard for a very average rider (like me) the One R is forgiving but offers the versatility of the other models without having to "tame it". I've also however heard people who say they find the RR perfectly smooth and not too much of a handful. I totally get that rider ability playa a massive part but I was looking for any experience or advice subjective to an average rider looking to improve some of the "trick" type skills such as blips and hopping etc. Thanks.

Hi! I’m passionate about moto trials and enduro riding but often struggle to find good places to ride. So, I created the Rolling Mavericks’ Trials, Enduro and MX Places-to-Ride Map. I’ve added some spots to get us started, mostly in Europe, but I need your help to expand it worldwide! If you do add your club or other place to ride, I need to approve it first before it shows up on the map. Just so know 🙂 Thanks

Looking for advice, i recently re-built engine (been ongoing for last couple of years) 90 % of parts were bought from TY Offroad. when started engine after 3-4 mins it starts loosing oil from right hand side of cylinder (from head gasket area) when i re-built i checked both the head and barrel and both are dead flat. The only thing i noticed was that the new head gasket (copper) doesnt have room for the o ring on oil passage stud. anyone else seen this or what was your fix? reluctant to use sealant around oil feed

Hello; my recent purchase is a 2024 Beta Evo 200; I’ve heard good things about; Putoline GP 10 / 75w gear oil; does anyone have information where it could be purchased in the USA? Thanks, John.

Hi I've recently purchased beta rev 4t 08 and noticed the mixture screw is missing can anyone recommend somewhere in the UK that can supply one please even better if there's a link

Hi, Can anyone give me some carb advice? My bike hunts slightly at tickover, and I can't get the tickover to run smoothly. I've tried adjusting the pilot air screw without much success, so have now stripped the carb to give it a good clean. I have discovered that the needle clip is in the bottom Grove, No.5, the richest setting. The manual says position 4. Could this be the reason for the rough tickover? I was always under the impression that the needle didn't influence the running until after a quarter throttle position or thereabouts, so the needle position might have nothing to do with it? I have also noticed that the fan rarely comes on, indicating…

I’m wanting to get into trials and I live in leeds and I was wondering if you can get in trouble for riding in public woods like council woods because I’ve seen some right spots but don’t know if you can get in trouble for riding it or not

2011 gas gas 280 with tech forks, removed forks to replace seals. What should be a fairly straight forward job has turned into a head scratcher. I can’t get the new seals to seat properly as the bush will not go back into the fork leg. Has anyone had this before/ similar issues. Any advice would be great 👍

I have 2011 gas gas 280 with tech forks, fork seals leaking, removed forks and internals tried fitting new seals. New seals will not seat properly as I don’t seem to be able to get the bush to go back into the fork leg. Having spoke with various people and damaging 3 sets of seals on what should be a fairly straight forward job, does anyone on here have any advise/come across and similar issues ?

I have been trying to contact the Armstrong- trials.co.uk website using the email address contact@armstrong-trials.co.uk without success. Would anyone know who runs the website and have contact details for them? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I wanted to purchase some of the spates they have listed. Thanks Des.

Hey guys Just bought my second trials bike, old used one. Wanted to try the 300cc. Anyways after some suspension fix, greasing the linkage, changing all the fluids and all that good stuff I wanted to take it for a spinn. Rode for let's say 10 minutes or so. Got back to my driveway and let it idle for 30 sec to a minute. It boiled over and I believe that the fan did not come on. Took the fan and the radiator of the bike, hooked the fan to a battery charger with some wires and the fan worked. So took a look at the electrical system to see if I could see any broken connectors or wires. All seems good to me. I have the Ducati system and I believe the "Fun Mo…

Hi guys, I was trying to find some info on the above topic, but it seems in general no new betas have this issue. First it happened, when I stopped for a second to drink, in neutral, the bike idling, it bogged down, and couldn’t kick start the bike anymore (didn’t fiddle with the carb, the bike has max 30hours), so had to push the bike home..thought I ran out of petrol. Checked the spark, it has a good one, spark plug gap spot on, the plug is black, not much wet. filled up the tank, bike started second kick. Went out riding, the bike stopped, couldn’t start it. Closed fuel tap, throttle wide open kicked it over a few times, after a while started, bit w…
