Try to get some of the face drive versions as these are better in the long run. I use Metrinch which are good.

He's looking so far ahead most of the time so i can honestly see another 3 or 4.

I have lowered mine to the level of the sumpguard and rearward 20mm and think it is an excellent mod. The bike feels much more modern as the original riding position was a bit a**e in the air for my liking. Simple answer do it. Value is subjective, riders will see it as a positive, collectors will not.

I also use the John Cane version which works very well and gives good clean drive from low rpm and revs out nicely. I have not used the electrex one so cannot comment. I suspect you would not feel a 9 degree advance in real life.

Two engines were used the early ones such as above is by Tau and the crankcases split horizontally. Later versions used a Gas Gas engine with conventional vertical split

For me the Yam wins hands down

Rip off Britain??? So my family of 4 costs £160 and two are not really that bothered, or is there a family rate? Be cheaper to send the wife shopping. Or alternatively you get a full days sport, watching the greatest trials riders on the planet for a mere £20 a day! Compare this with a football match or any other top level event. Is your glass half full or half empty. Up to you to decide!

TLM200 is a totally different engine, it was derived from the watercooled MTX200 range, I do not know for certain but this must be a good bet that the pistons are the same.

Agree with previous comments, great weekend with good sections and excellent viewing. Section 11 sorted the men from the aliens (Moto GP term!) with only Dibs having less than a five. Observing was hitty missy on a calm day one if a flag moved they gave a five regardless of how close you came, on day two with the wind blowing a gale the flags were all flapping away in the wind so by logical extension everyone should have been on a five. Difficult job to interpret the rules sometimes! (Only a Belgian would complain about the frites eh Bob)!

Having just crossed the Rubicon of middle age (50 to be precise), I hope to have another 30 odd years in front of me to match the 30 plus behind!!

I suspect he had used a narrower tank so depending on your riding requirements you could consider an after market tank. If not it should be possible to drill and thread the remaining lickstop and fit a bolt.

Certainly the best rider and one of the nicest guys you could meet in the paddock. I remember his first ever world section in Luxembourg (with a dab on the low side of a slab), and have watched his progress with interst ever since. A true legend!

Yamaha ty range, bullet proof mechanicals and loads of cheap spares, can be upgraded over time

Good look with your search, parts are like the steam off rocking horse poo. Air filters should be easy to get round and from memory the RTL 250 which Dave Renham of Inmotion had new ones made fit. if you source pistons let me know as I have 3 engines on standard bore!!!

Bruno Cammozi finished 9th in the world on one

It is a genuine picture, he tested the bike for the french Moto Verte magazine. A translated copy appeared in TMX if my memory serves.

I am trying to remove the rear spring of a R model shock with the remote reservoir. When I unscrew the preload retaining collar it will not slide off as it catches on the damping adjuster. What do I need to do???

I have to say its truely marvellous what you can learn on this site. Thanks for the link

Is anyone in the middle to disprove my theory?????

Its a colour you either love or hate, I fall in the latter category but you certainly cannot miss it! Good bike nevertheless.

Hope he modifies the throttle cable routing or it could be quite entertaining when he snags it!

I have used electronic ignition from different sources on my Yamahas TY175 and TY250 both were an inprovement in the reliability of tickover and drive from low rpm as well as the ability to rev hard. well worth the inverstment in my opinion.

I have one of the last KRoo parked up at the old mans, I bought it cheap for the engine bottom end to graft an air cooled top end on as it was really sweet. Not very pretty but not so bad to ride. I would have been better than the Aprilia Climber I bought when they were both new models, even though I loved the 280 engine.

Does anyone have the length of the spacer required when removing the speedo on a drum brake mono? Thanks
