  1. If I'd find one in the shed, I would not be ashamed to ride it. Guy
  2. I used a set of IRC on a TY TS and Mono. Apart from ajusting the pressure ( soft sidewall ), I did not find anything bad to say about them. Guy
  3. The tank is not in the wrong place, your looking at the bike from the wrong side. Guy
  4. Sadly I started my TY for the first time since last fall yesterday, it was shaking and coughting badly. It was spitting little drops, I immediately shut it down and put it in quarantine for the next 14 days. Fortunatly, there is still about a foot off snow where I ride. Guy
  5. I have a wired cheap Tusk one from USA and it does the job for me. Guy

    Ty250r mono 1985

    I'm more of a fan of a thicker head gasket, adding a base gasket will change the '' port timing '' but it's a simple way to find if high comp is your problem.

    Exhaust pipe

    That's not a standard frame Guy
  8. Having both type ( modern and twinshock bike ) I can tell you that the oil change is much less frequent on the TS than the modern. Guy
  9. Michelin, Dunlop GP803, IRC are good but as al_orange wrote, a little more money will make your ride fun. Guy
  10. I don't think you will weld it today. Guy
  11. Most Scorpa and Sherco owners know better. It' a trick question, they all know all make are different and you have to ride every bike if you want to make a wise choice. Guy
  12. Dan, have you heard anything about the Bolton Valley event? Guy
  13. Thank you for the info. Guy
  14. The part number for the brake is the same, but what about the shifter? Guy
  15. Does anyone know if the shifter and brake levers from a 2015 ST fit on a 2019 St model? Guy
  16. Finger ???? The clutch stifness was one complaint I had on the one I tested this summer. I did not ride it for long but the bike is quite fun. Guy
  17. I bought a Jitsie Domino that fitted perfectly when I got it, after a while it became a little '' loose '' on my head. I emailled my friend at Splat Shop that confirmed me that the shell is the same for many size. So from a large size lining I went to a medium , it was on the tight side, so I use one side mediun and the other side large. The fit is perfect. Guy

    2017 280 questions

    Back in the 70's I was riding a Bultaco Alpina 350. I could crank the bike while sitting. A friend had the same bike and would sware everytime he had to start his, he often ask me to crank his bike arguing his was harder to crank. He never got to be comfortable doing it. My point is: think about a situation where you are not in a ideal position and stall the bike, are you sure you will get confortable with it. As for the side of the crank, I don't think it make a difference. Guy
  19. The best way to '' seat '' the shoe in the hub is with chalk. The subject as been discussed many times here. Guy
  20. Have you '' seated '' the shoe properly ? What you describe is the same as I felt on my TY. The shoe where touching the drum only one spot. Guy
  21. What's the weel base and it look realy light. Guy
  22. A trials bike is a special beast but like all motorcycle, if it does not feel right at first you won't enjoy it. Don't let yourself influence by the guys telling you a 270,280... bike is fine ( or for real men ) many of them are thinking about selling the one they in the shed. Better wait for the right one a bit and enjoy it for a long time. Guy
  23. Ho no, Heffergm, you just deflated my ballon ! I was certain I was as good as Bou, but he's riding a better bike. Guy
