I like the characteristic steel sound brings back so many memories......

The kickstart must miss the footrest, if not the shock of repeated hitting eventually causes the kickstart mechanism to fracture and snap. Probably a heat treatment issue.

Brilliant tyre on this bike

Sorry for the echo

Should be launched on 1st January....... Watch this space as they say

Spoke to the new owner last week, very busy getting it all sorted. He is a genuine enthusiast and as he said "I like the bikes so much I bought the company".

I hope someone will delete my stooopidity

Don't bother the standard position works well with good shocks. Laying down can give falling rate suspension which is not good

I remember Bazza on a 500 Yam on the top straight, front and back wheel were not in line for the entire distance. Happy days watching Mick Grant, Wayne Gardner on the sit up and beg Moriwaki and a host of others.

Yes for me the Falcons as I had them custom built by Robin. they are much stiffer at the end of travel than the Rockshocks, allowing a more modern riding style.

Have used both in the past, currently running the Falcons. I would recommend either as they are both rebuildable

Can you please tell me what rear mudguard you are using and do you have any photos on how it is mounted as it looks much more modern. Thanks

From memory you need to remove the clutch cover as there is a circlip on the inner side of the pump that prevents it pulling off.

30mm for 175 and 34mm for ty250. I think some of the MP or Ceriani were 32mm to start with.

That flywheel assembly seems to have a massive amount of lightening. Did you by any chance weigh it? The magnesium also looks to be in excellent condition. Remember to paint or lacquer it to keep it that way!

What a sad state of affairs, as usual the organisers knows best but the riders should also have got their finger out. By how much did they miss the first lap deadline?

I had a problem with a 315R reving uncontrolably, cure was to fit a longer throttle cable from a sherco if I recall...

Although I have no knowledge of the specific Ossa case, I would imagine that as the supply of one component ran out then a mid season upgrade or change would possibly be made with " new" season parts. Or they may use the racing model parts on a standard bike mid season, in any event I would imagine a low volume producer would use components in the most cost effective way to ensure cash flow and minimise stock holdings.

No guarantees for any solution but it has worked in the past if the bike is more vertical. Always pays to have more than one option at your disposal.
