    If you think a honda is soft, you're going to be disappointed with a sherco trs or a beta

    Had a 2016 300 sherco had it up until March

    All that was changed

    Chain and spockets

    Brake pads

    Wheel bearings

    Oils

    Was thinking about buying 300 4t . Somone told me the carb is a b####d to get off and on, if this is the case  a might have second thoughts.

    I usually clean the carb before each event.

    What are the trials bike makers going to do.

    I would think there will still be a lot of 2020 models unsold out there ,will they  bring out a 2021 model (new stickers) or not.

    Oh I take it by the change of subject I have came up with the answer why the lever points to the rear.

    Though you were being rude, not commenting, but your excuse that it was date night holds water. Please, stop asking advice, I really have no experience in dealing with the chaff marks caused by the leather harness, or the bruising on the abdomen caused by the chalk . I've heard raddle powder works fairly well.

    Thanks folks

    So if there is a benefit to having the arm in the forwards position  it is marginal  BUT there is less or no chance of the arm getting damaged by a rock or any anything else we might find or our merry way round if pointing to the rear. :bouncy:

    Was at a trial yesterday and a very kind person gave me a tip. He said that if I turned the front brake arm so that it was pointing forwards that it would work better. He then tried to explain that if the top shoe grips before the bottom shoe the brake works better:wacko:. 

    All I want to know is he talking p***
