Introduce Yourself

Hi everyone I recently brought a beta evo 250 but unfortunately haven’t had much seat time. I’ve joined up to Nash but don’t know anyone in the area that rides so kinda limited to when I can drag the missis along so obviously not that fun. Looking for a couple buddies that I can tag along with and hopefully learn a bit from. I’m lucky enough to finish work early most days and I’m only 20 mins away so if anyone is popping down let me know would be great to get down there and ride 👍

Hi guys , I'm looking to dipping my toes into trials .. I've always had Mx/Enduro bikes , currently got a TM racing en 250 , but never owned a trials bike before .. I'm only looking to spend around £2000 , for that price what bike would you guys recommend ? Are there any bikes that are noticeably better or worse than the rest ? Any input will be very much appreciated

Hello all from Calgary, Alberta Canada. Lots of old TY's through my childhood home and some amateur competition in the early 80's. After many years hiatus bought one for my son to play on a few years ago and it ended up parked in the garage for a few years. Picked up a parts bike and now have a decent running TY again. Love the old TY's!

Hi, first off, what a great site. I have been reading near a week and for me it's the go to place. However there is a chap round the corner I need to talk to.. So reaching the big five oh, ( I can't even look at the numbers LOL) I decided it's time to start doing more. Active up until now I have the urge to do some 2 wheeled motorsport while I still have time to improve. Back in the late 90's when I was young, dumb and full of...enthusiasm I bought a GasGas JTR370. It was my first trials bike and i weighed less than 60kg. Need I say more? I enjoyed puttering around in the nearby woods but don't recall any events. I do remember checking them out though. I fa…

Hello all, Been involved with motorbikes for over 40years. Looking for tips and info for Pre65 bikes.

I just came back to trials this year and it has revolutionized my 2-wheeled life. I goofed around on a TY175 in 1976, but my real passion at the time was MX. Then I had a TY250A in the mid-1980's, but I was on a tiny isolated shelf of land in coastal B.C. with little opportunity to improve my riding. After a brief break from riding of any kind, I got back to road riding in 1988 and I've been doing that ever since. Although my wife and I have traveled by bike in several European countries and South America, our road riding is a bit stunted where we live. We are on a peninsula with a ferry at each end, so we really just have one road to ride. So a friend is into trials ridi…

Hello guys its been a long time since i have been on the site. I am thinking about restoring my 350 bult and wondered abou getting spare parts. Cheers

Anyone know how many of these bikes made it to England

Hello all, Im new to the world of Trial bikes and just picked up a seized and abused TY250A last week as a project and finally got the cylinder off the engine last night. So much for a quick lick o’ paint and a carb clean, this thing is going to need a lot of parts and labor. Anyway I’m sure I’ll be asking questions and needing help along the way so thanks in advance and talk soon aidan

I bit the bullet and purchased a new Montesa Repsol a few weeks ago, not been out on it yet due to the lock down but can't wait to get out there, I have been riding a Beta 250 Rev 3 2004 model for about 4 years, great bike but but fancied a 4 stroke ( Montesa), heard a lot of talk about reducing the front sprocket by one tooth, changing the exhaust system to make the engine breath better, not sure what that means or if the high price tag warrants my fairly low skills, also the air filter, on my Beta I used Putoline air filter cleaner and oil, can I use this on the Montesa. Also the dealer has inserted a note in the owners manual, first service due in one month or 600 mi…

Hi all. Well, at the age of 57 I finally get the opportunity to have a bash in the world of trials! (I think). Always been fascinated by the sport and love everything to do with off-road. I’ve been a road rider for 40 years and have only limited off-road experience with 2 sessions at Mick Extances enduro school in Wales and one go at ‘Trials Day’ which I thoroughly enjoyed. I’ve always wanted a trials bike but could never really decide how to make it work for me. I don’t have a garage or workshop so the maintenance side would be tricky (and a faff), plus, I never knew anywhere I could ride or practice so always put a purchase off. I’ve since however discovered th…

Hi All. I purchased a 2006 TXT Pro 300 5 years ago but never really used it much as I don't know any other trials riders locally. Plus I was into track racing so hadn't the time really. Now I'm rebuilding the bike as it hasn't had much TLC from me or its previous owner by the looks of it. When it's all done I hope to put more effort into learning to ride properly!

Hi everyone, I recently picked up a Sherco 03 series 250 as my first bike It needs some work... The rubber between carb and airbox perished Airbox is filled with gunk Rear mudguard is very broken Rear brake sticks Any additional tips and advice would be greatly appreciated. I will be posting about individual issues in the main forum. Looking forward to being part of this community

Hi, I'm looking for a ossa Tri 280 or 300 does anyone know where one is for sale must be in excellent condition, I'm in Lancashire in the UK

Hi everyone, Ello here, recently got myself a 02 beta Rev 3 250 that’s in need of a bit of TLC. Luckily it’s mostly cosmetic so it’s gonna be a tinker on the evenings and ride on the weekends project. Anyways, I’m gonna head over to the Beta section and start bugging everyone with questions now

Hi, I am about to rebuild a 1982 Montesa Honda 123 which was taken apart years ago and have some questions if anyone can help, such as amount of gear oil it takes, 2 stroke mix ratio and I have a piece that i am sure is from the bike (photo attached) but I cannot figure out what it is. any help would be greatly appreciated Mike

Uk paint codes for the Red & Silver on my recently acquired Sherpa 325 about to start a full restoration

Hey up, Another newbie here. Looking for advice on a TY250 twin shock rebuild. Its a Colin Appleyard special, on an 85 plate. My Dad bought this new then handed to me, rode it around a few times then went into storage for a good 15 years. Has been a chuff to start over the past 15 years and smoked heavily when eventually started. Suspected a crank seal or two. Recently started the strip down and found the seals to be completely knackered. Hoping to get this all sorted and ready for my lad to enjoy in the future. We like doing stop motions so did one of the carb, and a time lapse of the strip down which can bee viewed on youtube in the links. I have m…

Hey ! First post here, new owner of a Montesa 4ride... My previous bike was a Tenere 660 - talk about change compared to a trial bike. So here are a few findings and pieces of information that others might find helpful - or dumb :) (long post !) First - why did I sold the Tenere ? car drivers where I live now are savages, some can't stand being overtaken by motorcycle riders and will do dangerous maneuvers on purpose, while others have a bad habit of overtaking other cars in curves with zero visibility (Russian Roulette style - go figure). roads suck - sand, stones, potholes, detritus, cars parked or people walking in curves, and whatnot.…
