Gg 2005 300 Problems Starting
Good thinking JTT My 300 had that problem with the poor spark, but i just tryed disconnecting the Kill button (on the tatty standard light switch) and then it had a perfect spark. Must remember what you said though for the next one

4t @ The Scottish
On the Sherco 4T do you have to apply lots of heat-shielding? Seems by reading these posts that if you do not do this then the bike becomes extremly hot and effects other parts? I just want to find out as I am considering one for next year.

Few Questions About Txt
Where do you get Dextron III ATF from, cant find it anywhere? and whats the difference between normal Light trans oil? I've always used MOTUL Transoil 10w30. Seems perfectly OK.

Dont know but you will need some elastic primer (thats what they call it) so when the plastics bend, it wont chip or crack. Probably normal paint with the right primer! How about black with polished rims and engine casings?

It does seem worrying! Thats bad that it does not come with manuals? What other frequent servicing is required?

Keihin Pwk 28
Yeah, they do make it out to be a 'bolt on' accessory - but in reality, it does require a bit of arsing 'round to fit it. Only bit of advice i can give you is; ask as many questions as you can & if your gonna do it, do it properly!! dont bodge it or try and do it on the cheap because you will pull yer face when it goes wrong! I'd imagine on the TXT that you will NOT need to buy a new reed block because the bellmouth is quite large on them. Most people who use them are happy with them and never looked back!! Also if you change bikes to something else (2 stroke) you can fit the carb on to other bikes. People put them on beta's!

Sherco 3.2
I saw one yesterday at the 'Alan trophey trial' (cumbria) and the grip it was getting in those streams was awesome!!! could'nt believe it. Never seen one until yesterday, real tidy bike! best 4T so far in my opinion. hopefully soon, they'll have the little problems sorted.

Keihin Pwk 28
Putting a Keihin carb on my Gasser was the best mod i've done! completly tranformed the bike, more bottom end power, revs higher!!, runs spot on! brand new keihin carb costs

Fouled Spark Plug?
It will be if your not using too much oil. Running too rich. Check air screw adjustments, failing that, jetting.

Gas Gas Gearbox Problems
This is a bit off subject but just for your benefit. never stamp on the gear lever because the 'tophat spring' is very delicate and if that goes and you continue to ride the bike bits might find its way into the box - which is no good Use your toes. Just hate seeing people on gasgas's stamping on the lever down to first, coz it can end up being dear

Year 2000 Txt 249
The 'Pre pro' gassers are probably the most reliable trials bikes you will come accross! Well made, soft power, grip well. You cant go wrong 900 sheets sounds a good buy! You see some real rough ones around and they are still reliable and competitive.

Well Said Bikespace is right, worn chain & sprocket set-up's can be noisey, worn bearings etc. worth a check

What Route Do You Ride?
Every club does it differently. like in our centre, the beginner route is called 'Sportsman' Also for the Inters, some clubs use diversions off the expert, some say at the beggining of the section 'inters ride exp.', some use orange flags, some use green flags i'd hate to be an inter in the CNW centre!

Just A Quickie
estimate around 3.5 - 4 hrs of normal use. Is it true the TXT has a smaller tank than the pro? My 300 ran out at the northern experts last year (after around 5 miles) which is a 6 - 7 mile lap, but thats running a Keihin Carb
