Problem Thread: 1997 Gg Fortuna 270cc
One thing to look at is the engine seals, as its a 97 these may have perrished burning gearbox oil when warm and revved hard. Check your levels.

Grips
Godzilla, Q; Using puncture kit glue, I would of thought leaving the glue to dry prior to fixing would be very difficult to fit as the dry glue would stop the grip from sliding on ? Or have I read it wrong ?

Tyre Pressures?
Well, a good Question, as everyone has their own preferences. Over the years I have found 8psi in the front and 2-4psi in the rear (2psi in mud/roots etc and 4psi on rocks) If you have a Michelin front, it will last for ages. The best rear is no doult an IRC which will get better as it wears, as goes for when to change its upto you , as a guide, if the centre knobbly looses its pattern then think of changing it or turn it as you will definatly get more use from it. Hope this will help,

Scorpa 250fr Cab Settings
I've just set mine up and it was a different bike, hope this helps. Have you taken the carb off and cleaned the bowl? then.............. 1. air/fuel screw 3 1/2 turns out with a nice tick over, 2. make sure the choke lever has 15mm of free play so when on full lock it stays OFF!!! 3. on the side of the carb you have the pump, make sure there is NO free play, this works as soon as you twist the throttle and eliminates stalling and intant reponse...................................................hopefully 4. once you have refitted the tank push the throttle cable cluster up so it runs in line with no dips. This is what I did and it worked Keep us posted Jam

Tyre Pressures
Mixed thoughts and pressures here, I've always used 8 psi in the front ( any lower and I feel the front tends to tuck under) and 2-4 psi in the rear, again it all depends on how the grip level feels. Tubeless tyres can run this low, well I've always done it this way. Enjoy......

Smoky Bike
Check the gear box oil,(500ml) because the seal goes and lets oil into the engine, hence the smoky exhaust. Ours has gone.
