quiet until you open it up then it sounds awesome!

Had one since Dec and is the nicest bike Ive ever rode. Always been a beta rider before but as soon as I rode one it felt right and I never usally get that riding someone elses bike. Im a clubman expert rider riding 250 2 strokes before and it is feckin powerful but smooth, nothing against gas gas owners but Ive never been able to get along with the power delivery of them? It seems to ride best like a 2 stroke using 1st 2nd and 3rd and clutch, not just 1st like the other 4 strokes tend to use. Reliability and starting is an issue but when going rides so nice and would be lovely for the scottish however if i was riding the scottish this year I think I would choose a mont or a 2 stroke mainly because my aim would be to finish with least amont of problems as possible.

3 of us are using ohlins on our sherco 4t's down here.

devonport probably your nearest club look out in tmx for details or i can get hold of them if you want torridge also runs trials tavistock direction sometimes.

yea great trial worth the 2 hours travelling each way in the van. unlucky with pushing the bike back most of it was downhill though

check the fan water level thermostat with the hot weather it may be overheating which will cause it to pink

dont you people ride your bikes thats just a bike thats been used properly.

dont think you guys would regognise my 07 250.back mudguards are very brittle found that out first day ou on it. front mudguard are also fairly brittle

yea i do

mine was doing the same after a few trials my brain clicked that the fan wasnt on next minute lots of steam oops. new thermostat solved it.

i saw it to

rode one round the yard last thurs very very very nice. had seen it the week before but couldnt be bothered to wait to have a go. anyway very stable feels light and nimble can ride it like a 2 stroke. wasnt a fair test because it was in a yard but as nice as a 2 stroke which i own if not nicer. if i was made of money i would have ordered one there and then.

silicon spray on all plastics.

clubman expert missed out on 3rd place by 1 point last year on the clubman route so thought it was time to move up. It was probably my bike your saw looping i think i left half the alloy on some of those granite rocks.

didnt see that good trial but tough especially after only 3 1/2 hours sleep. what route was you on?

how many times have we all done this?

high finishing fourth in southwest missing out on 3rd by one point. low lost practice ground and riding most trials like a **** now.

i use expanading foam cleaner thats in a spray can. its acetone based and works like you say probably similair stuff. Also makes that clear laquer on the levers go soft if you leave your leavers in it.

02 i could get them out 06 i couldnt looked like a remove swingarm job. lever wasnt different between 02 and 06.

leaking doesnt bother me just going do the carb mods so i know the bike is setup properly and i think it will keep it running a bit cleaner.

ive ended up with 2 bikes because it was 1600 trade in. market dropped helish a year a go you would have got 1900 for a 2 year old bike.

i noticed that surprised they lasted the trial they look crap as well think i will replace them with pre 05 ones.

but if you have a school of such for 10 riders wont it take the fun out of it and it being like going to school everyday?

usally change the switchs but havent had a chance yet and i swear it let me down sunday. as for disk bolts coming out ive seen what happen when they do. how does a new hub sound.
