  1. Get one of these. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motion-Pro-Seal-Mate-Fork-Tool-Motocross-Enduro-KTM-EXCF-EXC-F-250-350-450-525/152969334715?epid=1488250259&hash=item239daecfbb:g:NOkAAOSwWkFae2Ce
  2. I was wondering if anyone makes a LEFT HAND throttle? Then you could learn to use your right hand index finger to operate the clutch. Or, how about a suicide clutch, like they used on early Harleys? It would make using the clutch in sections interesting.
  3. The only REAL difference in MODERN trials bikes, is 2 stroke or 4 stroke. Apart from this question, they are all clones of each other, with little real difference.
  4. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motion-Pro-Seal-Mate-Fork-Tool-Motocross-Enduro-KTM-EXC-125-200-250-300/152916968530?epid=1488250259&hash=item239a8fc452:g:lDIAAOSwll1ae2uf
  5. Thanks Oni. Unfortunately I need an 81
  6. The standard rear shock spring on a 2014 Sherco ST. Make? What is the standard spring rated at? Who sells stiffer springs to suit the standard rear shock? Thanks in anticipation
  7. Snowing yesterday, so I went out for a walk, into town, then walked a mile, along roads to another village. I saw one Gasgas trials bike, a very loud pit bike and two noisy scramblers. None of these were road registered, yet were being ridden along what would usually be busy roads. There were members of the public out walking, along with a few cars. These were in 4 different locations and were not connected as far as I could tell. The next thing will be complaints in our local paper and yet more anti-bike publicity.
  8. The Beta Evo 250 2013 and early 2014 had this issue. It was the selector forks were too thin/springy. They would jump out of first or second, mid section. That was the main reason that I sold mine. There was plenty written about it here perhaps three years ago.
  9. You could try something like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hand-Knitted-Deep-Pink-with-White-Trim-WhiteRibbon-Tie-Mittens-12-18-Months/302649125079?hash=item46774b28d7:g:iaoAAOSwuwRYLkHb
  10. Fuel cap cover to stop mud and dust: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/sherco-fuel-cap-cover/273005491984?hash=item3f90653710:g:~q8AAOSwyQtV3EuR Also fit one of these: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Small-Petrol-In-Line-Universal-Clear-Fuel-Filters-Fits-Diameter-7MM-Pipe-Filter/253396996188?hash=item3affa3505c:g:~vQAAOSw9tJacCjq Before stripping the engine, your problem could be either of the reed block gaskets - especially the lower foam one. Use Instant Gasket for a temporary fix. Also check the fuel loop rubber piping that runs up to the top of the fuel tank, under the rear mudguard. This perishes and can cause all sorts of strange and curious issues. Best replace the lot with new tubing every couple of years
  11. I have a 2010 short wheelbase Connect, with a fitted bulkhead. One bike is fine. Two bikes - you need to put the first bike in backwards.
  12. What year? Is it a rear fuel tank model?
  13. I have a 2014 Sherco 125 rear tanker. Mine always revs high when using the choke. Push the choke off after a couple of seconds. If it starts to die then quickly pull the choke on for another couple of seconds. Mine has done it from new. I don't think it is anything to worry about. The power switch. With a SLOW throttle I didn't notice any difference. However when I refitted a QUICK throttle, it made the engine pick up faster to the higher revs (where the power is on a 125).
  14. A pair of Wulfsports for just over £100. Strong, durable, comfortable and cheap, which will last for years might be a better choice - traditional style too.. If not, then perhaps something in pink or purple might suit Sir?

    Glass mudguards

    Do Rev 3s have glass (fragile) rear mudguards? Are all spares generally available? Thanks
  16. Yep, a 300 could be underpowered for you. Perhaps you could get it bored out to 500cc.
  17. First you could try removing two of the 6 clutch springs - diagonally opposite each other, for a lighter clutch pull. I have removed 2 on my previous 250 and 3 on my current 125, with no slipping at all. If you remove two, it will make the clutch pull about 1/3 lighter. If it slips, then just put them back in.

    New Boots

    Stiff - rubbing in places perhaps, but not tight
  19. Nonsense. I don't agree with the above post at all. Kingswood hold excellent trials, but their Novice sections tend to often be difficult/ very difficult - especially for a complete novice rider. Also, avoid Championships - often too difficult, even for very experienced Novice riders. A FAR better choice of clubs would be Somerton (the best choice for a Novice rider) Blackmore Vale, Breakheart Quarry, Stroud, Zona 1, Cheltenham Home Guard, Taunton or Hawks Cheltenham. Additionally, any of the Classics clubs usually have a Monoshock (modern bike) class for the Over 50s. If a Novice rides a few Novice sections and finds them too difficult, intimidating or dangerous then they will often pack it in and not go again. I think that Yeo Vale is a great club, often with excellent - challenging Novice sections, but I would hesitate to recommend it to a true Novice rider, with little or no experience,
  20. My 2014 Evo had three new rear fenders (and a couple of fronts) in the year that I had it. Expensive game. On my Sherco, you can bend the rear fender into a loop without it breaking! Same fender for 2 years now!
  21. Is yours a rear tanker? If so your fuel system is a little bit different to this, For instance I think your fuel filler cap is elsewhere. The "box" is a fuel pump. They don't go wrong. 1. Disassemble and clean the carb. 2. I suspect that you have perished "rubber" fuel hose. It will leak air in/leak fuel out. Replace the lot. You will need perhaps nearly a metre. Take photos first, before disassembly. 3. You sure that there is no fuel tap where the hose exits the bottom of the fuel tank? If so, the lever should be forward for on. They are tiny. Snapped off? PS: When cold, mine is reluctant to start if there is little fuel in the tank. PPS: Plastic box? I wonder if you have a secondary (chain saw) fuel filter fitted? Like this -
  22. Here is a picture of the fuel line on a 2013/14. All mine had hardened and were brittle. Any leak causes issues.
