Classic Trials

Anyone have the settings for a 199cc cub fitted with a 22mm dellorto, jets/needle position etc.

OK folks, I am now looking at a 1978 Bultaco Alpina, model 213. Will this make a good trials bike? Other than changing the tank, seat and sprockets, is there anything else I can do? Thanks, Gordon

just had my "thanks but no thanks better luck next year" entry form returned for 2012, oh well never mind, had visions of winning that one as well!. seriously how about upping the twin shock entries next year, maybe make it a three or four day event.

Hello, I

There's some kind of rubber seal in the bottom of Amal L2627/402 (Made in Spain) choke plunger. In my carb this seal is worn out so it doesn't work properly. From where I could get a new one plunger?

Hi there I've just fitted a mikuni vm22 carb to my bantam Simple question..... Choke on, is it with plunger up or down ?. (ie lever down puts plunger up, lever up puts plunger down if you see what I mean !) Also has anyone changed main jet size ? Many thanks John

This is a bit of a long shot; I wondered if any one remembers J O Wallis from Hereford, who was the first owner of my Norton 500T in 1952. The bike was supplied by the dealer Ashcroft of Thornbury who may have been trials bike specialists; does anyone remember them? I hope that I put this in the correct place. Rod

Anyone got directions and a starting time for the Thursday evening trial this week?

Has anyone had experience of putting a 249cc motor into a 240 frame any what modifications are required. Any help or advice would be appreciated!

Hi Trials Central forwarded me an email from tilertriallwer - which had some interesting points - and I did a reply - but I have not got a clue how to send it ti him. here is no email address, so I am not sure how to respond. If someone tells me what to do in such matters I will do so - or at least attempt to.

Hi there! I am converting a street tiger cub into a trials bike. The bike was sittig arround the house for a decade, and never have time to start the project. After seeing a couple of tiger cub trials bike I decided to convert my street cub into a trials. First of all I want to do a quick mock up and start the engine as it is now (with the street gearbox) After that I will change the gearbox for more low end power and better climbing caracteristics. I alredy bought a mid 70's front fork from a kawasaki ke 125 and now I want to lace new rims to the existing hubs. I have a couple of questions for the more experienced here In first place I want to know if I can use a wm3…

Hello Could some one give me an idea what to tell the insurance company regarding value? We thought £1500-1700? Its a bog standard 1962 C15, been stored in the dry for the last 30 odd years, we need to insure it against theft whilst we decide what to do with it as we just have too much stuff going on. Its 99% complete but needs recommissioning as it hasn't ran for years Thanks

This trial is going ahead all being well, there seems to be some rumour circulating that it was cancelled but this is not so. There was a worry about the low number of entries but the minimum viable number was passed a while ago. See calendar on here for details and entry form

Has anybody any opinions on using E5/E10 petrol in a TY125? My son has been restoring one and is at the point of (fingers crossed) starting it up, but the question of running an old two stroke bike with E5 or E10 petrol has come up.. None of the companies websites are clear (e.g. Esso, Shell) whether any of their fuel is guaranteed ethanol free (e.g. Synergy Supreme+ 99 which in some areas has ethanol in, some not..), so I wondered what the general opinion is? In theory Oxfordshire (where he lives) should have ethanol free Synergy Supreme+ 99, but I'd rather he not be a guinea pig..

just found this on the web take a look mick
