The one who cut the spark arrestor is probably the culprit that relocate the shock Guy

RD4ME where do you live in Ontario ? Guy

Do as trapezeartist said but practice every move until you can relax your arm and leg muscles doing them. Guy

About 20 KM south east of Montréal Guy

Thank you David Guy

I'd like to see the other side Guy

HOOOOO... that's nice.

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

That does not work for me Guy

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

Now don't start an change the name !!! I've been telling what the sport is for half a century Guy

Yes it does Guy

It is fitted with a 10t, I did not want to go too low. Guy

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

Now I know Y war are started. Guy

My mistake TY-E, I wonder why they keep the '' TY '' in the name there is a Sherco TY now very UnYamaha. Guy

any news on the TE ? Guy

Try the cold water treatment, you never know Guy

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.

I was surprise to see in the ST250 2015 specs that they use tube type tire. Guy

Spot on Guy

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

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

C'mon Dan, I think the rabbit's out of the hat, you do R&D for Beta !!!!!!!! Guy

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
