So I took this new to me old trials bike out for a ride today with a friend.
I noticed that the front end was almost bottoming out if I came off a ledge hard or what have you.. To the point where my fender would get stuck on the header and cause of some fun steering.
I know the fender mount is a little mangled and isn't helping but is it typical to have the front end that soft? I also noticed on the adjusters at the top of the shocks there is a C on the left and E on the right. What do these represent?
New to trials bikes, been riding enduro, dirt and street bike since before I could walk...
I have a 1996 Gas Gas JTR-370 that I picked up from the local gas gas dealer as a cheap intro to them, I love it so far and can see how people get addicted to the sport!
My question is, the bike has had a bit of a flogging for sure in it's past life and I don't totally intend to change that, but I do like to keep things working smoothly.
The front brake seems to drag a bit I check that the lever isn't over adjusted or something simple and it's fine. I'm thinking the caliper is sticking a bit or is seized.
Is there anything silly I'm missing here or is it pretty common?
I took it out for a good little ride for a newbie yesterday and other then a growly gear box it seems ok, Ran some trails that I would have never attempted on the enduro bikes and had a blast.
Hopefully it continues to get me hooked and I'll upgrade to something a little more modern next year!
Battery question
in EM (Electric Motion)
Posted
Hey there,
Wow it's been a long time since I've been on this forum, I think I had a Montesa 315 last I posted here.
I now have an older EM sport.
I think it's like a 2015, just noticed lately when the battery is charging it'll get to the last two bars and start blinking.
If I shut the battery off and turn it back on it'll show a full charge.
Just curious what this indicates if anyone's a battery expert.
Thanks
