OSSA

http://trialsport.se/pdf/service-specialdelar.pdf Some nice stuff.....

I don't think this news has made it to Trials Central yet. Check out the LewisportUSA site for the official announcement: http://www.lewisportusa.com/ I ride a lot with Lewisport Southern Cal Rep, Bill Merritt, about once a week and have gotten to try out the new bikes as they come out. They may yet tempt me off my Raga. Bill rides the OSSA as his daily practice and competition bike. I have nothing but the best to say about Bill's commitment to the bikes he has sold (Gas Gas, OSSA and Beta), to the buyers/riders and to both the practice and competition aspects of the sport. Based on my experience and interactions with Bill I expect that his closer involvement now…

I have a 1970 ossa plonker/pennine.Does anyone have an idea of how many were sent to the united states ? I,m just curious if it was a rarity here.

Hi, I have a newly restored Ossa Mar that has not yet had the lighting harnesses made up and installed. I am looking for a few good pictures of how the harness are routed e.g. between the switch and the headlight, the headlight back towards the supply and ground wires, as well as from the rear brake switch and the tail light. If anyone has a MAR where these harnesses have been properly set up I would sure appreaciate a pic of them so I can know how to fabricate / install my own. thank you kindly. Paul Wells ps I have attached a picture of my bike. By the way I have the tail light, handlebar switch and brake light switch. They're just not hooked up yet. thanks again…

Anyone seen any after market 2012 280i rear hubs ??? snapped a disk lug off today so need a new one and would prefer to get a bling coloured one rather than a std Ossa one. If anyone has any idea please post up. Cheers in advance.

So I assume by now that most people who are experiencing starting issues either have the original LSS type starter pack installed, or have the 9v battery version which is smaller, simpler, and avoids potential flooding by only charging the electrics and not the fuel pump. Just as a matter of interest, if you were to use a rechargeable 9v battery on the 9v system, and say, kept the circuit open when travelling between sections, would the system recharge the battery or would the combo capacitor and 9v battery in the sytem have a negative effect. I know changing a standard 9v battery on this system is no big deal, my questions is more just a matter of interest as to whethe…

Hi Guys, anyone got a spare Clymer Ossa workshop manual or know where I can get one from without taking out a mortgage for it ?

Hi I currently have a 2011 Beta evo 250 and am considering replacing it with an Ossa. I am looking at 2011 and 2012 models, are there much differences between them ?. How reliable are the Ossa`s and what sort of regular maintainence do you have to do to them ?. I have read about the re-mapping that needs to be done, what other mods need to be done. ? . I know the bikes are light but how do they ride compared to a Beta ?. Hopefully help from forum members will point me in the right direction, many thanks.

My clutch sticks when not running and can usually be broken free but once in a while it is pretty stuborn. Would there be anything wrong with elastic or something to keep the clutch lever pulled while the bike sits so the clutch doesn't have the opportunity to stick. I saw that suggested for cars and wondered if it would be OK with the clutch springs on the OSSA. Thanks for any thought on this. Jim

I read the 2013 spec and nothing said about a starting battery pack? Anyone care to comment?
