where are some good places to ride in Perthshire

Evening folks hope you are all well, my lad has managed to get an entry into this years Scott trial and I’m hoping to get some advice on what will help him finish. I’m told a Dunlop rear tyre is a must as they don’t fall off the rim easily, plus I’ll need a few extra fuel cans, if you can think of anything else which will help it’ll be much appreciated. I’m looking to source him a TRS as it what he usually rides. Many thanks. Pete.

Just recently bought a 2008 beta rev 250, the kickstart jammed, seemed to have fixed that issue now a whirring noise coming from flywheel magneto? And suggestions what this could be? Are there bearings in the magneto?

Hi, I have a 22 Virtigo Nitro and the clutch is hard to pull in and it’s all or nothing, not progressive at all. I was told it’s the setting on the clutch but I’ve had the case off and can see the blue ring is already on setting 1 (the most progressive option?) What should I try next to a) make the clutch more progressive and b) make it softer to pull in. Does the clutch just need bleeding? A new clutch? Both? All help welcome

Hi all, I have an old Gas Gas 250? trials in my barn, haven't used it for 10 years and thinking of selling for a restoration project. I still have a road bike but a bit too old for trials now and a biker mate thought it might be a 125cc it would have been lively if it was a 125 but he seemed to think it was. I would hate to mislead anyone so I have looked at the ID plate by the headstock> *VTRGG2599112980309* can make out a long number and wondered if any Gas Gas experts would be kind enough to decode for me and perhaps indicate a ball park value as a project. I realise it may be virtually worthless now but it was running when last used and always under cover so …

I understand that Emma Bristow has been awarded an MBE for her success in Trials. Well done Emma and also to Sherco for supporting her. Perhaps she could ride into Buckingham Palace to receive her award!

Hi , I have not long acquired a montesa 248 it was rough so have stripped it down and am rebuilding it . So my question is, I have stripped the forks to replace seals and can't find out what oil goes back in , the book says Hidrol 7 ? Tried Google and no direct comparison so please any help would be very grateful.

hi guys recently just got back into trials and im looking to see if there are like any pay and play type places where you can just turn up to practice ideally in the north east north west and Yorkshire areas or any other places where you have to join a club or what ever thanks

Hi Where do you get insurance for a Trials bike? and can you get third part road cover? Or just Fire & Theft?

Is the Scottish Sixdays next week worth a visit? I am hoping to go and have a look and see some of the riding - but are there any trade stands or bargains to be had ? Being a newbie, with a 14 year old bike, I have a lot of bits and bobs I would like to buy - boots, springs (I am around 15.5 stone in my birthday suit), riding gear, chain set, brake pads, etc... I know I can get all this stuff on line - but are there trade stands in Fort William? When is best to go? Cheers Alan

I haven't measured it, but... The chain set on my (new to me) 2009 evo250 looks to be in reasonable condition; but the chain is slack, almost touching the swing arm. However the snail adjusters are at their max rotation. I suspect a smaller sprocket than standard is on it. So, how much length will I get if I turn the adjusters to thier minimum setting? Enough to cut a link off the chain so I can set it up at the correct tension?

My 2017 TRS RR kickstart has started to jam. I have to rock the bike in gear to solve the issue anyone know what it could be before it gets worse ? t

Just completed my clubs first online entry setup using the new ACU Sport 80 system ( The neighbours have probably learnt a few new swearwords 🤬) Its done my head in especially entering info for all the youth classes, does anyone know if all the info I have typed in for this event eg classes etc will be saved in the system making a lot easier when setting up our next competition. I would have asked ACU but I'm still waiting for answers to the email I sent them back at the beginning of January.

Is it possible to cancel an entry for a trial after you have entered and paid? There is no 'help' or faq that I can see. My missus has a scaphoid injury and will not be able to ride the next trial. We have both looked at the platform and cannot see this is possible. The event is by our own club so easy enough to do that route but I wondered if it would be as easy if you had booked another club's event?

Just joined , This is my first post , I’ve bought a 2016 beta evo 300 2t , I need to service the leaking forks , I can find plenty advice on quantity but not weight of oil I am 14 stone , any help would be great full regards kenny d , ( Scotland )

Hi all , stripped one head bolt on beta 300 2t is helicoil the only answe for repair , Thanks

Looking to rebuild my paioli forks as the seals are passing. Could anyone give me some info on rebuilding and re filling the shock with oil?
