General Trials Talk

Bought a 2002 gas gas txt 250, tearing it down and putting it back together, pretty much done except to dial in the carb. Does anyone have jetting chart? Most of my riding is 1500-3000ft above sea level. Also looking for an air box. Thanks for the help. ---- Delorto model - PHBL 26

Trying to make contact with kevinc1050 re bike

Hi anyone here using a Beta Rev 3 on a regular basis? They seem to be really good value currently.. what is the spares availability like? thanks in advance Kevin

Hi is anyone selling a short gear lever for a beta rev 250 thanks mark

Hi Guys, I have a 2023 TRS One RR. On the upper left fork spring preload can be adjusted. What is on the upper right leg, please ? On newer online manuals it is written compression adjustment on older ones rebound? What is on the lower part of the forks? On all manuals it's written that both legs have extension adjustments to be turned 1 turn out from all closed but it seems very odd as one leg has the spring ( left ) and the other ( right ) the oil ( correct me if I'm wrong ). Thanks, Kasty

Hi guys, I would like to buy my first trials bike, but here (in Malta) we are not spoilt for choice, basically there’s 3 second hand trials bikes for sale on the whole island. One is beaten up, the other two are the beta evo 250 factory with 4-5 hours on it (!) practically new, the other one is the trs 300r 2018 model, used by a local competitor guy. I wish I could find a 125/200cc bike to start on, but it’s not an option. the difference between the bikes is the price, the TRS i could buy, the Evo factory is 2500€ more expensive, and that difference I don’t have unless I get a loan. i’m planning to keep the bike long term, would appreciate some i…

Hi, My rear tyre leaks air from between the edge of the rim and the tyre itself (not spokes or valve have confirmed in a tub of water). Ive reseated it twice and tried two tyres (very old Dunlop) and an IRC. is there likely an issue with the rim or is there anything else I can try? It gets worse as the pressure goes down I’m this close to going tubed as I’ve got an old rear wheel that does leak through the spokes and this is stopping me riding. New rims are far too expensive vs the value of the bike. cheers

I purchased a 2023 300 Gas Gas txt Gp in the USA. Is it possible to covert it to a 250 by putting on a 250 cylinder, head and piston on it. My issue with the bike is it has to much compression for me to start it. I can start it but during the course of a trials event it it wears me out. I’m a 66 year old intermediate rider that weighs 150. Im not concerned about power, I just want to make it easier to kick. I would b open to any other suggestions like a low compression head etc….

I’ve got a 2011 Beta Evo 200 that won’t start. The bike has got fuel, air and a spark. Carb has just been taken off and cleaned, jets are good. Any suggestions? Cheers!

Just wondering… What’s the big deal with Beta Evo 250’s? I’ve gone through a few bikes in recent years and am currently just riding my Twinshock, I don’t have a modern bike right now. Modern bikes, I’ve had a Beta Evo 200, Gas Gas 250, TRS 250RR, all only a couple of years old, all with bits I liked, bits I didn’t. I’m quite happy riding twinshock for the most part but might buy another modern for using when appropriate. One thing, it was not uncommon to be asked ‘why didn’t you buy a Beta?’, as if it’s the obvious choice. When I had my 200 I found the clutch needed messing around with constantly to stop it sticking and I preferred the handling on the Gas Gas. …

I’m after some beta Evo fork legs if anyone has any for sale? Must be good condition , dorset cheers

Good Day all, At the end of March I bought a TRS One RR 300 cc - 2023 new. I got a very good deal and visually it looks very well finished compared to the Vertigo ( Finish close to the GasGas ). I did not ride it yet as I am abroad fro business. Will be back this week and hopefully ride it in the week end. What are your thoughts / experiences on this bike, please? Thanks! Kasty

hey guys, is the idle gear for a evo 4t 2009 different to a 2t. im trying to locate one if anyone knows any for sale..its for my 300 4t

Looking to get into some low level obstacles. Would be cool to see what others have!

This might be an odd question to ask but there’s a reason… I bought a Fantic 200 last year (been riding modern bikes for a while) and it’s a cracking bike to ride, and always puts a smile on my face. The only thing is that at my level it doesn’t really fit anywhere in the local trials I ride. I ride Sportsman and easier Clubman/middle routes on the modern bike. I also have friends who ride pre 65 bikes. Where I’m coming from is that there isn’t really a class I can ride in competitively at my level as Twinshock class always seems to follow the Middle/Clubman route which is often beyond me on a modern bike let alone the Fantic whereas pre 65 always has an ‘easy’ …

So, I did Novice but would like to do amateur next time. I feel that would be my challenge there. Anyhow, the issue I am running into with RMTA is they are on Sat and Sun. To me it felt like more like a competitve supportive practice event, which I think why I fell in love with it. Sat and Sun are tough for me due to work, so wondering if there is another competition/event that holds on weekdays? or psosibly large get-together for all skill levels?

Finally picked up my Dragonfly. At 71 I'm having trouble with the kickstart, so electric is the way to go. I think this bike is going to be a game changer. This site should make a subforum. I'm sure there are others.

Just got a beta 300 factory 2021 trying to get the gearing sorted on it at the moment it’s 10 /41 I find 1 gear a bit short then second gear a bit fast for some sections just wondering what everyone els is running it’s totally different to a gasgas

Hi there i have a 54 falcon 90 in trials trim. I converted the ignition system to electronic by using a Honda cub flywheel and CDI. This I fitted an additional mass that worked really well with loads of power but no instant get up and go, so was difficult to go over logs. I am putting the original magneto flywheel back on while I have another think. Does anybody know is there an advance curve for a Villiers 8E or is it fixed

Hey all, so new trials rider here, but an average enduro rider you can say. Nothng special. I did trials for a bit, but stopped, then now started again. Probably 3 months of trials riding all together. Mostly learning to get over "trail obstacles" I know nothing of fundamentals, learning static balancing Not sure if I should just stick to this older 300 and all I need to progress, or soon enough I should look for a new trials. My biggest thing is E start haha. Sometimes I get into some nasty terrain to play in and makes it difficult to kick start due to the pitch Not sure if 125, 200 or 250... 2 stroke 4 stroke etc
