Aircooled Monoshocks

finally got around to testing my newly rebuilt beta,the rear suspension seems too hard,do i just back off the pre load untill it feels right or is there a more scientific method ?

Hoping to run the mecatecno at a club trial this weekend. Just need a wee bit info confirmed by you knowlegable people. Engine oil capacity & type, 500cc 75w pji clutch tuner ? Plug type B8es ?. Mixture 50: 1. Any one know if rear wheel is the same as any other bikes ?. Any one know if rear guard is the same as any other bikes. Do these bikes normally sound fairly loud and ringy from the top end.

take a look at this on ebay item no. 150022974895

Any one got any tips on stopping the above snatching?

Anyone out there know where can get a

Finally after 6 months skinned knuckles.....

does any one have any real good pics they could post on here of either or both of the following bikes ridden in 91/92 world championships- ALPHA ridden by Thierry Girard OR /AND ALFER ridden by Lluis Gallach and Josep Arcarons. from memory i saw an alfer on a trials wtc vid years ago and i am just curious to see what something really different and rare looks like bring back any memories??

Given the value/ prices TLR 250 twinshocks have been achieving recently I was wondering what the rare mono RG model would be worth. The white one with blue and red stripe. Completeley different bike and quite rare. I have been offered one that requires a couple of small jobs sorting. Possibly more of a trail bike maybe. Any ideas, or any users trialing one on here. Thanks.

ive just got a fantic 212cc, it has a monoshock disk front brake and drum rear brake how can you find the model and year of the bike. i have changed the statement about the brakes in my haste to post i got them the wrong way round the bike is white with yellow and is the same shape as some models ive found they range from 1989 to 1992..

Looks very strange.........

just looking about for a mono swm or some parts for them??johnnyb

My little project that has kept me busy over summer - cheers.

Have aquired a mecatecno skywalker. Bike is running but requires rear shock rebuild. Has anyone any information relating to engine / frame parts list / etc. Also looking for a similar rear mudguard to replace broken. Any help on these bikes would be appreciated.

This has got to be rare, eh? kids Merlin

I was interested in a cheap montesa 310 (circa 1990ish), however,it has a goosed ignition system, (stator plate etc.u/s ) and according to sandifords, the motoplat parts are pretty much "unobtanium", as motoplat wint T8ts up a good number of years ago. Does anyone out there know of any suppliers of motoplat bits. Also have any of you had one of these bikes, and, if so , what like are they? thanks

I've just bought my lad an old ('82ish) Suzuki TS125ER to learn on The main prob is getting spares We currently need - in no particular order Kick start (then we can get it running) Both side panels (we were quoted nearly

Got to be the Yam TY in my eyes, I did have a nice TR34 240 Beta that came close. I suppose I should get one before the prices start to go through the roof

So how many folks know anything about this 1986 Honda air cooled 244 cc 4 stroke, six speed box monoshock bike? My pages are here:- http://john.rushworth.com/pics/tlr250r-g/ I'm curious about how many were made and where they are? I guess there are about 40 now in the UK. I've yet to see and hear for sure if there is a 1987 H model too. She weighs about the same as an RTL, which I've ridden. Mine is far more forgiving though and a joy to ride. The torque curve is sooo flat. Great! I have a history from Ian Smith's Motorcycle Reports on TLs's and RTL300s etc including and out of interest Shinja Kazama's ride on a TL230R up Everest in 1983 to the southern column of Pumo …

My Cota
