Introduce Yourself

Hello everyone After a brake from trials for 32 years, I have just purchased a 2006 scorpa sy250. Need info on swingarm bearing sizes etc

Greetings and thanks for having me. Just acquired 01 280txt. Looking for manual, parts book, I understand it has diagrams for assembly. Also any info on what fits what; model to model, and which other manufacturers used this powerplant and extraneous pars. Thanks in advance

Hi, Berty here, new member, in sunny Wales, I am restoring a Gas Gas TXT 280, 2001 model and will require lots of parts for frame and engine. Is there a good dealer with stocks of early parts I can contact with regard to my needs? any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks

Hi all, I am a newbie Southerner now living in Whitby. i have been riding classic scooters and motorcycles since I was 16 (currently own and ride a 2010 Triumph Thruxton 900. I am looking to get into Trials riding as a hobby

Good afternoon just wondering if anyone can help me find out the year of a Montesa cota I have just purchased frame and engine numbers are 51M5994 cheers Jeff

Hi everyone. New to trials,been riding a 2009 Gasgas 125 txt for a few months. Just upgraded to a 2015 Sherco ST300 Factory.

Hello, just heard that I can get back an old Bultaco that I used to own 35 years ago! It's in a bit of a state and is in bits but I am very happy to see the old girl again, but I'm going to need some advice and so here I am. Live in Scotland in a rural quite place with lots of places to play. Will have loads of questions I'm sure.

Got a 2018 Montesa 260 4RT pulled it out of the garage last week & it kicked over first time let it run for 10 minutes, turned it off then kicked it over It started 1st time again let it run for a bit and ooking at the tacho it was running at over 2000 rpm so I turned the screw in a touch so it was running nicely at about 1850rpm at the same time I tucked the wiring that runs from the ignition behind the clip under the regulator...... turned it off then when I came to restart it wouldn’t start, did the reset, still wouldnt start so I looked at that wiring from the ignition & took off some loose electrical tape & pulled it out from…

Always wanted to ride trials, but never have. My hobby is old motorcycle restoration, typically British. Past years raced vintage MX on a 1967 Husqvarna 360, stopped in 2005. Now wanting to ride a 72 Sherpa T model 92. recently purchased a Sherpa Bultaco in progress, due finished by early 24. I am 76" tall at 175 lbs and I have my first helmet from 1969 (no foam/all failed). I am concerned about being too tall for this sport on a vintage Sherpa. Also concerned about going back to kick start.

Hi all, has anyone renewed the ACU Trials Registration via the sport 80 website for 2023? Is that just one licence for solo/sidecar driver/passenger in 2023? many thanks,René

Just looking at getting into trial riding. Based in Ross-on-Wye so looking for local clubs, venues and general info at the moment. Cheers Arron

Hello all from sunny Grimsby just getting myself back into trials and fancied something a bit older than the bikes i used to play on. Got myself an old 1956 Ariel NH 350 (well the main bits) to build up and ride. Though i had better say hello before picking brains etc.

Looking at this sub-forum I think Konrad might be single handedly reviving Trials Central 😆 I am new to moto trials but have been riding bike trials for much of my life. I currently ride a 2014 OSSA Factory R that I purchased from my dad and am in the process of fixing up. I actually found konrads website ossa-efi.com which lead me to this forum. I am excited to be here!

Hello; new member living in Ma. USA; 70 years old now and returning to riding; rode quite a bit of trials bikes in the 70s; including Bultaco, Ossa, Montesa, and 1976 Yamaha TY175; I’m restarting now on the same 1976 TY175; I think this will be the lightest and easiest handling for a guy my age; excited to start again and enjoy my ride of the old days! Thanks John

I'm looking a getting a seat for my 04 Ty 4, I've found one designed for a SY wondering if it will fit ok? Supplier wasn't sure. Thanks for the time reading this

Hi, I’ve just joined the forum as I’m completely obsessed with the Panther Stroud and I’ve been lucky to pickup a genuine Stroud motor for my trials project! Now I’m looking for a Stroud petrol tank ( rocking horse s**t!!) my particular obsession is with the alleged Springer Stroud that was built and sent to Sweden in around 1953!!

Hi guys n girls! I bought my tiger cub (1961) in the Dalesman frame, looking to replace the swing arm bushes ? Anybody know where I could get parts for that type of frame from? I’m in Isle of Man UK , I’m told it was owned by Andy Minns ? He did the SSDT on it ? Be great to know if this is in fact true ? cheers Don

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
