we use 10w40 light gear oil in all our bikes inc gas gas and never had a problem.all the boys we know even use 10w40 in the ssdt.

come on over to the ssdt copemech,looks as there are quite a few in the trial.

dont trim the turd just leave it the way it is .ive used 5 at one time in the ssdt.

maybe have to take of the shock and soak it in oil.

strip and clean carb. drain petrol tank and change filter. refill with 100cc to 5ltr petrol, ipone samurai fully syn.

strip and grease every 3 months stuart.

on all our new bikes we have bought we mix one tank of fuel 100cc to 5ltr petrol.put 2t on your small end and put 2t on your piston and rings.as for bolts we just tighten up till they are tight. cheers willie.

use a ratchet strap .round the frame and sump plate and ratchet it up,easy.

puting it on with a metal pipe(exhaust pipe etc).if you dont have anything try a fast fit garage , go with a hacksaw and cut of an old piece of exhaust the same size as the bearing.

as long as it is in good condition its a good bike to start with.more reliable than a early pro.if you get at a good price you will almost get your money back when you sell it .

forks are really the only difference.

fit the maximum of base gaskets , makes a big differance.

as scottishsteve says look out the sun block,its going to be roasting.

what a waste of a great talent.she could have went all the way.

well said tricky dicky.as for a sherco they both ride perfect with no major faults,not any more than the rest on the market.as for build quality totaly nothing wrong with them,and also cheaper than a gas gas .if you are thinking of a sherco get a 290 much better power delivery.if you need to calm it down its very easy to do.as for a new gas gas you need a pilots lisence.

should have taken it back to the dealer you got it from.thats what a warranty is for.willie.

its the same in the main trial ssdt. its not the sections that kill you its the moors.

silicone spray but mind dont go near the brakes.

most of the dealers in britain use wcw with no problems.

if you havnt turned the tyre yet,you will get another life out it by turning it.you cant afford just to use one side.

you can get it helicoiled .will be the cheaper option,as i think a new one is around

if you have never done trials before you are better starting with a monoshock.a twin shock is a lot heavier and a lot harder to ride for a novice. get the best bike you can afford,it makes life a lot easier when starting out.hope this helps willie.

if the bottom ends not noisey i would just leave it and just keep an eye on it.

pointing forward reserve,down on, back off.remove fuel tank,and remove radiator cap.top up with coolant , not water,fill right up and will find its own level when running.

no you use them sraight from the packet.
