  1. HOOOOO... that's nice.
  2. trialsrider46, I'm a little younger ( not by much ) and I should ride the intermediate line but I ride the novice line at our TS events. Why? Because I like to meet the other riders, to have a chance at practicing on new ground. I know that kind of pis… of the other riders, but when they look at the result, I always finish last. I mark 5 at every sections before I start the competition. I think you are right, some people go to win and other to compete. Guy

    15 ST 250

    Brianrch, you are right, but I would like a little slower 1st gear around trees. Do you find any difference in the 2 setting of the mapping switch ? Guy

    15 ST 250

    I just bought a 2015 ST 250 in very good condition, I had a 03 rev 250, I find the ST light and agile but a little '' nervous ''. I mostly ride the bike in the mountain, don't really enjoy competition and I am past my prime !!! I also find the gearing a little tall so here's what I think : I already change for a slow throttle, I will replace the 42t for a 44t rear sprocket to cure the low speed problem and I ordered a flywheel puller to put less advance in the timing. Also the mapping switch is on '' S '', does that really work or is it just a gadget ? Advise very welcome. Guy

    Tube tye tire

    The rear, They are equiped with Morad rim but I've check 2 different site and it's the same front and rear michelin tube type. I also think it's a mistake.

    Tube tye tire

    I was surprise to see in the ST250 2015 specs that they use tube type tire. Guy
  14. I ran many bike with the shifter setup like yours shakennstirred, I notice that it is '' harder '' on the casing if you are not careful when upshifting. Guy
  15. I've owned a few A model and tried to replace the Teikie with a VM Mikuni. I never had the exact result I was expecting. If you change, look at the OKO, I've only read good thing about them. Guy
  16. C'mon Dan, I think the rabbit's out of the hat, you do R&D for Beta !!!!!!!! Guy
  17. I agree with faussy, and I would go the extra $ on a Yamaha piston kit, put good oil in it and sleep on it for a loooong time. Guy
  18. You have to know that with the '' trail '' kit came a bracket to move the footrest forward Guy
  19. You don't have to take the swing arm off the bike to replace the brake lever off but it' a good idea to take it off and check if it's not rusted in place and grease it Guy
  20. I cleaned a few muffler by burning them, but I never '' played '' with the baffle, I have a couple on the shelve coming from different basket case I bought a few years back. That's why my comment started by I don't think. Good luck with the cylinder, I will quote a famous personnage again : '' Patience my friend, happy you will be when work is done ''. Guy
  21. I don't think you can burn the tail pipe. Guy
  22. About noise, I had just rebuild a D model, on start up it was crazy noisy. Lucky for me, I always use a lot of 2 stroke oil when I reassemble a cylinder. I noticed that the baffle ( the last piece of the exhaust ) was not '' smocking '' very much, but most of the smoke came from the joint between the muffler and the baffle, cleaned it and voila, normal sound Guy
  23. I do agree with copemech that they are '' noisy '', also Nikasil ? What piston are you going to use ? I'm sure there is a cheaper and more standard way to fix your problem. Guy
