OSSA

How's your spanish? SOme Looks like they build 5 or 6 bikes at a time...

Anyone have a manual for the forks? Dad is 60kg and only has 3cm of static sag, we are looking for about 6cm and apparantly there is some pre-load spacers that we can remove. I'd feel more comfortable pulling it appart if we had a guide.

You know whatits like, you are part way through a restoration when you get chance of another bike! I just got hold of one of these and need help in finding a manua and where to get parts from. Can anyone help. Thanks

I changed the oil on our bikes at the weekend. On the 2011, I only got a dribble out of the drain plug, layed the bike over but didn't get much. Cracked the clutch cover as per directions on the Ossa Canada site and ended up with about 220ml of oil. The 2011 is also lacking a magnetic drain plug which I'm going to order. On the 2012, I didn't have to crack the clutch cover and got 220ml. I put 220ml back into both bikes and the oil is at the top of the glass. Does that sound right? The book says there is 350ml of oil in there which means I've changed less than 2/3 of the oil. I used the GRO Synthetic 10w/30 oil which seems to be recommended - I couldn't find the 7…

Does anyone know the bearing numbers for a 2012 ossa wheels ? jsp

Anyone have any details?

Can anyone give me some sort of idea what kind of run time / mileage I can expect while trail riding on a TR280i? I've seen a few people mention running out of fuel and I'm a bit paranoid re-fueling at every opportunity but am thinking of doing a longer ride we normally do on the Enduro bikes and worried about the fuel situation.

Went to see a nice looking, clean 1976 Ossa tonight with the intention to buy. On first sight, looked better than the pictures, eventually fired up, sounded fine, revved well, engine sounded good, however......had three issues... 1) Despite sounding good had next to feck all drive ?? Like no matter what, it hardly went at all, chap said I might be in the wrong gear 2) Front forks were almost solid, like hardly any movement in them at all ?? 3) Brakes were almost non exsistent ? Now I have no idea about older bikes, but I did expect them to have a bit of go, but anyone care to offer a theory or two for issues 1 and 2 ? as I was already warned about Ossa brakes being …

Any news about the OSSA explorer in Europe? It wont be in North America until June. Just wondering if its out in Europe now, if any reviews, videos, etc. I have seen the CAD renderings, a few of the photos from the OSSA site, the various magazine articles based on the product literature. I am quite interested in this bike, as it is trials based, very light and they will try to make it street legal in north america. Thanks

Does any of the new Ossa owners have experience with riding at vastly different altitudes? Do you have to reprogram the fuel curve when you drastically change altitude? Can you make adjustments without owning the programming equipment or making a trip to a dealer?

hey guys can any one say what size socket fits the nut (left hand thread) on the final drive to change the front sprocket ? Thanks all Ian

Only had my bike a week but I'm wanting to drop the gear oil and was wondering what is the amount of gear oil in the TR280i and is it ok to use ATFQ or is there a recommended oil? Bike is 2011. Cheers

Hi all. I have looked at an Ossa 250 today. The bike is in superb condition. New ally tank, new hand controls, grips, cables. Original seat, akront rims and ally mudguards. New front and nearly new rear. Runs perfectly. Whats the value please? Many thanks

I want to lower the footpegs. The bottom of the pegs in the new position would be just above the skidpad level so the pegs will only be 1 1/2 or 2 inches lower. My question is about the affect this would have on operating the rear brake pedal. In the current position for the pegs, it seems like I am reaching down for the brake pedal but don't know if reaching up is good. Is there a way to modify the brake pedal. It is so well protected now. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

If anyone is interested Trick Bits are now making swingarm and frame protectors as well as Ossa number boards.

Hi guys as title says really, looking to buy a 2011 280i and was wondering if there's anything I need to look out for specifically other than the normal stuff. Really need the help as I'm tossed up between the Ossa and a late gold frame Raga, so peoples opinions on that too would be welcome. Cheers in advance fella's.

Anybody else having troubles with your lights? My front light lasted about 20 minuets , the rear about 2 hours. They will both flicker on occasionally , it's in the LED it's self , power at the plug is steady. Have they fixed/updated them ?

Hi All I am currently looking at an Ossa to buy, it's in pieces. Firstly I can not find a frame number. I'm told the frame is a 1972 Model. Please what is the location? I have two area's of concern. Is the skid plate available anywhere? On the off chance the magneto is no good. What are my opions and how much. Cheers

I got the OSSA World clutch springs that are softer than stock. Seems like I should be able simply just to replace one spring at a time with the primary cover off, readjust my clutch, and I'm on my way. I'm just checking to see if that method is fine. Thanks for any thoughts. Jim

Hi everybody, my queation for all you ossa experts is how much would you expect to pay for a 1981 250 Gripper. It is a runner but does require tidying up. Cheers HGGO.
