Sherco 39 mm fork seals
Don't buy cheap seal unless you want to do it again. Splash out and buy SKF Green seal kit which also has dust cover. I tried the cheap ones they did work for a bit

MH 200 forks
Does the MH 200 (orange) have round fork bottoms or the more square shape. The one I have has round bottoms with no pinch bolt ,but they feel really nice and smooth with no marks on stations.

MH 200 Yokes
There is only about 10mm clearance each side .Michelin are a lot wider than the standard tyre of the time.

MH 200 Yokes
I have a MH 200 ( orange) and the yokes hold the forks apart at approx. 120mm which does not leave a lot of clearance for tyre. I also have a 249 and they are 150mm. So do I get a different set of yokes then make new spacers for front wheel ( conical hub ) or leave as is. Some one out there has got to have an answer. How did the they cope with lack of clearance in the 80s.

Ajp Brakes
Just fitted a seal kit to rear AJP master cylinder, what a rip off £20 + when all you need is the small seal which you pay about 50p if you knew where to get one. Is their anyone out there who knows where you can buy the seal by itself and enlighten us all.

Taking 5S At Ssdt
If you complete the SSDT and try ever section for mortals it is hard and should be given respect.maybe not God like. Sections not tried 50 marks the same as missing one buy mistake.

Taking 5S At Ssdt
Every one has their views and solutions. To me the event is spot on the way it is My main Problem is the riders that take numerous 5s and say they completed the event. The rules would probably not allow it but I could complete a world round if I asked for 5 at every section.

Taking 5S At Ssdt
I agree some sections may b to much for some people think before you go and if you think the event is to much don't go.give others a chance. Yes go past the begins cards at least you have done the route and not used the time to catch up. You don't.but taking it if every one though about it tryers would go. Nothing wrong the way it is.

Taking 5S At Ssdt
The time of the SSDT is looming and there is a lot of riders out there without an entry .riders that will try every section. How many riders that have an entry will ask for 5s without trying using it to save time and energy to get round this event and claiming they have completed the event. To me this is taking short cuts.

74 Ty250 Shifting Issues
The teeth on the clutch end of the shaft sounds like it has jumped a tooth on the change mechanism when you have had circlip off the other end. Clutch off to have a look . if so take circlip off push shaft through slightly line teeth up push back in circlip on would be fine.

Evo Factory Or Trs?
How can you vote on an unproven bike. Ossa looked good when first was launched . had one. One word junk. Trs could be same. All bikes will work well when in an arena or World round paddock with teams there to back you up.but we live in the real world.

Yes Or No ?
No no no. Had one they need a lot of attention and will only get worse will age.

Rear Wheel Sealing!
Vaseline petroleum jelly You get big tubs of the stuff in the Pound shop or smilar shop for A POUND. I even use it to put on tubless tyres. A little goes along way.
