Hello All, I've just come over to trials after riding supermotos and the last year has been on an enduro bike (KTM300EXC). I've come over after I keep bashing myself up a bit on the dirt and I'm hoping that trials will provide the spills at much lower speeds (although I have broken my leg with a 10mph get-off in the past! ) I've just picked up an '06 Beta 270 Rev3 and I'll be out later on it for the 1st time. I'll be looking for tips and hints and this forum seems the ideal place to start. see you Shaun.

Just thought I’d share this as it might help others just done oil & oil filter change on my 4RT & like others struggled to get one of the front bolts to line up on the skid plate when refitting it so I loosened the down tube bolts on the same side a little & also the long bolt that goes through the bottom see photos & it lined up so I just tightened them all a little at a time until all were secure hope this helps

I've done all kinds of two-wheeled antics and owning a trials bike has been a dream since I was 10. I'm a touch over 30 now and hoping previous injuries dont keep me from enjoying myself. I'm driving to TN. friday to pick up an 04 280 Pro from a friend. I cant even describe my excitement! I've been around two greats of the sport and many occasions during streetbike competitions and shows and it's an amazing sport just as a spectator alone. Chris Pfiefer being one and Geoff Aaron being the other. And they attack ANYTHING you can point to! Friday cant come fast enough..... And hopefully I can find some places to ride around here... Well, I'm off to read up on some…

I've been riding motorcycles for a few decades now but I don't think I've ever ridden a Trials bike. I have been amazed by the things they can do and now I live in a place with lots more vertical and rocky off road scenery, I believe a Trials bike would be perfect! Before I purchase one I would like to get some recommendations. I'm much more familiar with the Big 4 Japanese marques and street bikes in general. Gas Gas, Beta, Montesa, Sherco.....very unfamiliar to me. What is reliable and easy to get parts for in the US? I'd like to get a nice used bike first. Where would one look for a Trials bike, there weren't too many on eBay or my local Craigslist. I look forw…

Hi all, my first trials bike turned up today (1999 Beta Techno),mad bikes all my life but my trials experience is limited to jumping on my mates gas gas jtr at work and promptly twisting the throttle wide open with the inevitable result...... Bike came from Yorkshire and jeez I could have done with a friendly face around to show me how to start it but I got there in the end my st be 30 yrs since I kick started a bike! The clutch stick from cold is savage and I read with interest the fix in the sticky, only prob is the have no idea where to drain or fill the clutch from!! I am sure it will come to me, I have seen the parts manuals on sites but not an owner manual? Trial…

I used to ride trials many years ago with a Honda TL 125 with a powroll 175 kit on it. It was a cool little bike all be it heavy. I love the new bikes because you do the same stuff on it we do on our bicycles. I ride bicycle trials as well. Now one thing I'd like to know and maybe I'm stupid here but in the videos I've watch of say Lampkin there's this guy yelling like an idiot to do stuff the rider is already doing. If it were me I'd slap this guy. It would absolutely bug the holy crap out me. WHAT could this yelling possibly do for the rider but break his concentration. I've watch video after video and all I see is some guy making a total nuisance of himself. I just d…

Hi - we posted last week just before we picked up Pat's new toy on the Beta forum.....well we got it, so now we can relax and do 'proper intro'.....Hello we are Pat & Crystal.........Pat rides and Crystal types!!

Thanks in Advance....also Thanks to the friendly responses we had last week......kinda refreshing how 'friendl…

Hello everyone. My name is Steve and I am trying to get back into trials. I have been on motorcycles for 40 year and trials bikes for a good share of that but in 2002 was involved in a serious streetbike accident that has left me paralized in my ankles and feet. I stopped riding trials at that time but returned to off-road riding via a KTM with a Revloc auto clutch and moving the rear brake to where the clutch lever had been. I recently aquired and rebuilt a 95 Gas Gas JT35 to try to see if this sport is possible for me. A front brake master cylinder was purchased via ebay and installed backwards on the clutch side of the handlebar with the control lever modified so t…

Hi folks, My name is Kev and I live in Northumberland. I've got a trail bike at the minute but I never use it and then this weekend just gone I went to my first trial (Bedlington & Distric MC) to practice my photography and I'm dying to have a go now. Before I take the plunge and sell the KTM though I want to find somewhere to get some instruction, hire a bike, do some training you know the kind of thing. So if anyone knows of any trials schools then let me know and I'd be really grateful. See you around Kev PS what's the score with siggies and links to photo galleries are they allowed or not?

Hello, really interested in buying a trials bike, I've had crossers and an enduro before when younger but now I'm 28 and haven't ridden anything in maybe 10 years. My main question is am I being unrealistic trying to get into trials biking? I'm asking this because of my age and having no experience but also because I'm not a light skinny lad anymore I'm 16 stone of pure dad body Haha! Will this hinder me or am I better off just going back to a motocross bike instead.
