Got to get the MAR running for Sunday as i havent got a bike to ride, James is still a bit ill after my off at Bracken , so which terminal do i connect a kill switch to on the MAR coil? Dont want to damage anything. Thanks hopefully

Hey Guy's, Just got myself a ossa 250 MAR after spending the last 30 years riding currenty bikes (fancied a project). However, I want to trick it up for a more modern riding style (move footrests down a fraction and tighten up the steering geometry. I'm a good rider and not bothered about class entry will be riding it in what ever trial. Has anybody done it to a MAR any pics you can share. Thanks in advance. Tim

found this little beaut on ebay rare as hens teeth item number :120532888091

What is this worth...? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/M...n-267506598.htm

Does anyone (Woody!) know of a bolt on replacement rest for the MAR? I don't want to chop my frame but am tiring of the originals Ta

Hi, just a quick question, what length rear shocks are people running on their Grippers, has anybody tried the NJB Trikshocks on them? Thanks Giles

hi guys just wondering about your thoughts on how much you reckon its going to cost and who is goingt be the lucky dealership!!

Look, it's a slow day at the office and I've been worrying about the price of this here, new bike? In comparison; what makes (made ) the Montesa 4RT so expensive? Is it because it's a 4stroke engine and they have more mechanicals?...but Beta/Sherco seem to manage to keep the price down on theirs .OSSA has a 2stroke. Or is it because it has an alloy frame?..again Beta seem to be able to moderate their prices. OSSA has a steel tube frame. Or is it (as I suspect ) Fuel Injection...how much does that add to the price of a trials bike? I'll give you a further insight into my logic process :- When I look at a new trials bike I try to imagine (like we all do) what…

Come on then, what's your best guess? Mine's SSDT 2011.

My latest MAR, this ones not in bits , hasn't got a kill switch fitted so assuming i wire it to short out the coil which terminal do i connect it to ?

Anyone tried these yet? http://www.bytoto.com/hfs/node/5 I need stiffer springs, but these may be worth a try. Mike

That's the rumor from a spanish guy at the thumpertalk trials forum. Says he got that from the local newspaper. http://www.thumpertalk.com/forum/showpost....mp;postcount=53 Pretty big news if true.

Other than the tank and seat, what is the difference between an Explorer and an MAR please (I'm thinking '75/76 here)? I fancy having a go at long distance trials and don't want to mess with my current MAR so am looking for another bike, but Explorers are rare, so it may be easier to modify an MAR if it's just bolt on parts, then I can always undo it to keep the purists (me!) happy. I've been toying with a new machine but nothing inspires me - CCM SR-40 - expensive, fragile(?), Beta Alp 4.0 - heavy, little ground clearance, Kawasaki KLX250 - a bit lightweight? I don't want an enduro style machine so have ruled out everything else, hence thinking back to an Ossa... Mike

I have recently bought an Ossa having decided I needed a project and fancy a go at twin shock trials. How do I find exact pictures of the bike, details age etc. I noted from a member earlier that the frame and engine numbers should match and date the bike. They are different but similar: B-234300 & B-231300, I didn't know if I'd miss read it but am fairly sure they are different. Can anyone help?

looks pretty radical..has someone put the engine in backwards,

Not to stir the pot about new bikes and the rules regarding bikes in competition , What are we going to do if the new Ossa (release nov. 10 ... I think ?) http://www.ossafactory.es/v3/index.php#home Is a twinshock ,Watercooled ,manual disc brake machine ... Or if it is just a new twinshock ? Does it get to compete against the old twinshocks like mine , or does it go up against the modern bikes ? Only clue I see about the bike is TR280 injected ....... And is this the same folks that closed the Ossa factory doors in what 1985 ? Glenn

Apparently a new Ossa will be shown at the Milan show on the 10th of November. Called the 280TRI its not known if its two stroke or four stroke, and there is speculation that the I might stand for injection.
