Classic Trials

Hi all, anybody got any news on the twinshock team trial, the South Birmingham Motor Club are in the trials fixtures as running the event but I have'nt seen any regs or anything, does anyone know if the event will be run.

Hi this is my first post, i am building a pre 65 bike out of a 1960 B40 star i have almost finished the engine (C15t gears, Alpha roller bearing big end & timing side main, PVL ignition and Amal 626 carb) i could do with some advice on frame mods ie swinging arm ,steering head angle etc I have built the wheels with bantum hubs 18" rear wm3 R18/4, front 21" wm1 R21/2.75. the rear shocks are Betor 13.5" units and the forks are B25

Recently stripped my Villiers 8E as the primary case needed some welding; painted the head, de-coke etc whilst out of the frame. Re-assembled in the same order without any problems and now can

Hi, folks, I know I've left a post in( 'pre 65), but can't seem to find why I can't join the GRA on their website... nothing happens using their PDF. Can anyone help, or alert them to a problem? Thanks, Gary. FORGET THIS POST ,all sorted now!!!!!

Anyone know if a sidestand from another Yamaha model, (DT1, DT250 etc) could be adapted to fit a TY250 twinshock? Can't seem to find an original one. My bike has the bracket on left hand side.

Anybody contemplating a trip to a Spanish or French twinshock/Pre 65 trial next year should really consider doing this two day trial based near Ripoll. Just over the French border an excellent weekend, riding brilliant natural sections, its a long way ( Is Woody home yet ... )but well worth it .. Wack it in your diary or look on Todo classic nearer the date.

can anybody tell me oil capacities for mont 248 clutch & g/box

Hi All Which way round does the points cam go on a 37A motor? The cam I have has a "1" stamped flat on the one end that could indicate the direction of rotation. The cam has a steep ramp and a much flatter ramp on the other side. When the cam is put in with the "1" on the outside face pointing forwards, the steep part of the ramp will be effective for the points closing. The Villiers manual is not much help, but I'm sure the solution is something that every Villiers owner (except me) knows. Thanks David

Hi Im about to restore my sisters ty80 and as i have never restored a bike before i am not quite sure about how to go about it. The bikes engine is in very good condition so there is no work needed to be done there. The frame is rusting in places and mising paint so i was wandering how i would go about geting the frame, tank and out side of the engine repainted? How do i prepare it for painting? And how much will it rougly cost to get it done? Any other tips and coments about what i should do would be much apreciated. Thanks

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

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.

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
