Hi everyone , my name is Dave and i have been into trials for the past 2 years, i currently have a 2020 beta evo 4t factory. I was hoping to get some advice on if advertising parts im making is allowed ? I ask because ive started making fork seal guards for different bikes and i need somewhere better than facebook to advertise. I've attatched a photo of the part but dont want to spam the forum trying to sell them obviously.

Hi, I am a restorer in Wisconsin. I will be looking for parts for a 1975 Kawasaki KT250. NOS preffered. Right now I need left and right handlebar switches. A good set of pit free fork tubes would be appreciated. Would rather not need to rechrome and centerless grind if possible. Thank you for any help. Mark

Hi Guys, the last few weeks I've found myself on this forum almost daily looking for answers so I'm afraid I'm another one who can't offer ANYTHING but needs help! Background: My dad rode trials in the 70's (before moving onto Motocross) and has recently restored a '71 Bultaco Sherpa T which he's taken to a few local trials centres. I've just bought a complete shed of a Gasgas from a typically neglectful owner and I'm finding problems at every turn. I've got general motorcycle experience but nothing specific to trials so apologise in advance for many stupid questions. Cheers!

New to trials, I have a WR250R I'm looking to dump and get either a xtrainer or trials bike with a seat. I ride withy 3 kids and at the end of the day the wr is a pig at the ohv park. So looking for a lighter bike I can ride and sit and watch the kids on, plus the ohv park is working on a trials section. But I'd like to get another kids bike, we have a ttr50 and a crf110f, I think a beta Minitrials 50 would be a good bike to add and what I'm currently searching for.

Hello lads. I went out and bought myself a 290 Sherco '05 the other day - I have head plenty of fun already! What is really daunting is the lack of information/manuals/how-to's about these bikes. I am very keen on maintaining the bike and there are a few things with the bike that will need remedied, although Im not sure on how to tackle such jobs. I want to learn. The links to manuals on this website are all no longer available, unless im missing something? If any members here could point me in some direction as to find out how to work on/ maintain trials bikes - preferably an '05 290 sherco! Thanks a lot! - Cameron

Hi there, New member here, I've just bought a project bike it is a Ossa Mick Andrews replica. I think it is a Mk 1, strangely it hasn't a side stand lug mount so I assume it never came with a side stand mount? It needs a bit of work but the bones are there, no spark so today is pulling the very stuck stator and hope it is just cut wires at the bottom, definate ly will be running the wires out of the front. Anybody here who knows about Ossa as I no nothing at all

Hi, I’m totally new to trials riding but wanting to do something and get a hobby, I am 45 been round motorbikes all my life, I am worried about starting out at my age with no experience and not knowing anyone, my question is it ok to be a total novice and zero experience not wanting to embarrass myself, can you go practicing and just do easy stuff out of the way and not look silly until I get some confidence?

Hi, hope someone can help, I'm currently working on my bike, and would like to know the correct grade of gearbox oil to use in it. The original manual says 900Ml of 10W / 30. Could someone advise what would be the right equivalent oil. Many thanks, Andy

Hello everyone, my name is Bart and I am from Poland. I've just bought a 1988 Beta TR34 260cc as an early christmas present for myself It needs some basic restoration and maintenance, but nothing that would overwhelm me. I am an amateur enduro enthusiast who wants to improve his riding skills and technique. Hopefully I can later translate those skills to my Yamaha TT600R, or maybe I will totally hook on Trials? Who knows? I also collect and restore vintage Vespa scooters, that is why I wanted a classic 2T Trial bike, not a modern one. Hope to find a lot of information here. Cheers!

Hello, after riding bikes my entire life I decided to give Trials a go. Too much fun!! I bought myself and my wife bikes. I set up a small course around the house, primarily for my wife to practice. We have been to two events now and have had a total blast. Really looking forward to next season!! Anyway, glad I found this forum as neither of us are on Facebook.
