  1. Yes it should unscrew easily, I used a socket and it was only hand tight, as there is a rubber washer seal
  2. Watch other (competent) riders, note the speed and technique
  3. Enjoyed it 1st time around, well worth a look...parc ferme " car park"?
  4. Most wins to its registration?
  5. superb, chrome frame, believe the guy's name was/is Robin Rhind-Tutt
  6. stator is the common fail on these
  7. just googles it, trials and scrambles,interesting box section spine frame, acting as fuel tank on the trials model, remembered seeing one in the late 60's
  8. looks exactly like the hub of my 76 m159, not sure when they introduced that style hub
  9. bath of water should show where its leaking
  10. Never heard of a 370 myself
  11. my 76 159 has it (just looked!) but no bolt, think my earlier bikes had it too, something to do with manufacturing?
  12. is that the team with a small but clever leader? they call him footballs cunning gnome.
  13. I am guessing, but 1. they have found a way around the rule on weight distribution? and 2, to lower the gearing? I think there is a rule about what tyres they can use, basically a standard road tyre
  14. never seen a bike used in competition with the oil pump in use, they tend to be a bit generous with the oil and cause poor running. I run my 175 whitehawk on 60:1 synthetic 2t mix
  15. could it be the mounting bracket bent? Unsure of the design on these, but it doesn't take much to alter the angle of the stand.
  16. All I can say is I am 67 and have a 200 beta evo and find it a doddle to start, I am used to left foot kicking as I have had bultacos since 1968 I still have no problems with my T350 bulto either, it's about technique, Kickstarter at 10 past and firm prod, not a "kick"
  17. I have always used 2 pairs of pliers, one opened to push down and a pointy nosed to slip pin in
  18. no, I was not suggesting this, I was just partially answering the original question. why are the spanish so strong, theey help their good young riders with money raised from exorbitant license fees
