  1. Are the lights on all the time ( no on/off switch, just dip) If so it sounds like the feed wire to the dip switch has a bad connection or the wire is broken. For the MOT if push comes to shove you can cover all the lights up and get a day time MOT.

    Fantic Wheel

    I have a rear wheel which I think is from a 240 Fantic. Could anyone confirm this or have an idea as to what it is from please. Thank you.

    Beta Alp 200 Gearing

    Hello, I have just bought a 2002 Beta Alp 200. Could anyone please tell me what size sprockets they use for Trials use (LDT) and road use. Many thanks.
  6. The only shims on the crankshaft would be the Big End Crankpin thrust washers
  7. Google Yamaha TTR 125 wiring diagram and you will find a pdf Yamaha manual, which has a wiring diagram . Seeing as the motor is a TTR 125 that might well help. I couldn't get it to link to this page.
  8. If it has the original wipac round coil in the stator plate, remove the HT lead but leave the low tension side connected to the points. Run a wire from the points to a Japanese 6v ac coil, put that under the tank. Fully advance the stator plate, set the points gap at 10 thou and bend the points spring a bit to give it more tension. Fit a new condenser. I used a 6v dc coil and battery on the D7 Bantam I had. It was a lot better with that set up.
  9. To the best of my knowledge that method of marking was used in Ireland. Early post war marking was 3 for footing ( dab or paddle ) and 5 for a stop. 1 mark for a dab came in in the mid fifties and remained as 1, 3, 5 until early 70's, 73 ish when the 2 for two dabs came in. Didn't make much difference to me when I started riding in Schoolboy events in 72 on a £15 D1 plunger Bantam as best I could hope for was a 3
  10. Hello. Sometimes it is a bit of grit or dirt in the seal and can be cleaned out using a film negative. I have done this with success. Certainly worth a try before stripping your forks. if you're really keen you could buy one of these !! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Seal-Mate-Tool-Sealmate-Fix-Leaking-Fork-Seals-Quick-Easy-Fast-Affordable-/121059312192?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item1c2fb28240
  11. I have a Scorpa TYS 125 and I am more than happy with it. It struggles in muddy conditions but I put that down to operator error There is one on Ebay at the moment. Right money I would say. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2004-SCORPA-TYS-125-F-BLUE-WHITE-Trials-GasGas-Sherco-Beta-Montesa-/151498431709?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item2346029cdd
  12. Fantastic video from a classic No stop era, when you only used the clutch to put the bike in gear
  13. Back in the day Champion L10 was the choice for anything with a short reach plug This should be a far better recommendation http://villiersservices.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=21_22_32&products_id=153
  14. I know its a bit late but those forks might well be from a C11G. is the thread left hand? I had C11 forks in a D1 40 years ago. When bantams were worth about £15
  15. I know its a bit late now but here's the Peter Gaunt original, 1973 SSDT . Sorry for poor quality
  16. Broke mine in as a sixteen year old in 1975, larking about on a mates 125 Dalesman Puch. In plaster for eight weeks. Stayed off my Bultaco until it healed. Didn't affect my Trialing though as I've never been much good
  17. Do you have a nice alloy barrel as well, Andy or the cast iron original ?
  18. .Can't take much credit for the bash plate, Archie as I robbed the idea from the works bike http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/uploads/post-10-1077206344.jpg and also.....http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/uploads/post-10-1082578931.jpg and ........http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/uploads/post-10-1082579322.jpg
  19. Hello Archie. Thank you for the comments.It is the standard bash plate with extension pieces added on. I bought a sheet of 5 mm thick 6082-T6 alloy plate from Ebay. The Exhaust is painted with Plastikote BBQ paint(also available from Ebay).It stays on very well. I recommend it. Your bike looks very nice
  20. How about this 1962 Rickman Capriolo 125 Trials conversion
  21. A more robust bash plate is worthwhile. On the downside it does get a bit muddy
  22. Standard valve clearance setting is 4 thou (.10 mm) Inlet and 6 thou (.15 mm) Exhaust. I run my 125 on 5 in & 7 ex for a better tick over, thats the theory anyway You definitely don't want to set them tighter.

    Tyre Pressure?

    6 psi front and 4 in the back
  24. Has yours had the flywheel lightened? I rode mine in a trial for the first time last week and found it quite flat. Just how I like it
