My GaerneOileds are the nicest shoes I own , And the lightest / most comfortable trials boot I've ever had .... And I where Redback work shoes @ work and Vans every where else !!!

WOW ... A Family of True legends ... In every era of our Sport . Somebody give Dougie a hug from me , and his mom a kiss ...

Well here I am again ... Yesterday afternoon I removed my home fabricated silencer and mid box from the kids reflex and installed a complete wes exhaust . Quite a weight savings and after a warm up and mixture adjustment , I'm thoroughly impressed ! With my previous carb mods , 10/50 gearing and the trick rear set footpegs the bike has totally transformed from a wanna be into a real Trials bike ! It ran just a tic on the fat side before , now has a perfect plug color and even better throttle response across the whole rev range . Now if son finishes his military school program and does right by me and himself , he might earn himself some fresh tires and real rear shocks ! Glenn

I seem to remember it being red . But the memory's not what it used to be ... I do remember a neighbor kid got a brand new XR 75 , 'cause he was spoiled brat . I could still smoke him thru the woods though on the little yamer . Then I moved up to a Suzuki TS 90 ,Thought I was a B.A.. , till my brothers buddy got a Ossa pioneer ! And cleaned all of our clocks ...

Does it have the spring loaded check valve caps ?

HHMMNN... Progressive spring upside down so its displacing more oil ?

Did you change the spring spacer ? maybe your getting more total compression than it should have , eliminating the air space ... Just a thought ! Glenn

Reminds me of one of my finishes in a netra jr. enduro when I was 10 or 11 . The event was in Rhode Island somewhere , Lots of beach type sand . Anyways I come around the last corner with my trusty Yamaha mini enduro 60? going full tilt in 4th . I can see the finish line straight in front of me in the sand , and for some reason I've never figured out , while going in a straight line maybe 10 feet from the end , my front end washes out and I cross the line face first in the sand . Every one had a great laugh and my dad got it on some super 8 movie film . I wish I knew where that film was now .... Glenn Well I should head out to the shop and fit the new wes exhaust system on my son's reflex ...

Part of why he's got 10 now ...!!!

I used silkolene light for years with great result , But about 2 years ago , on the advice of very intelligent friend of mine , I switched over to redline fully synthetic 80w gear oil , Shifts smoother , and has better clutch action now ... But any good gear oil is better than ATF , the owners manual for my 240 states 20w 30w ... Which a lot higher viscosity than any atf ... Glenn

Thanks guys ! But i'd really like to see the footage inside Bou's Minder's helmet camera ... That would show some of the best technique ever ....

At the last Ryan Young class I attended , he had us doing the "tree floater " , I found for me at least , it helped greatly with learning to control my turn . You have to be in the correct form to bounce off the tree correctly , and it will almost force you to steer with your feet as you should while rotating your body towards where you want to end up ... But start real slow , with a large dia. tree , just glancing off it . a large target to hit makes it alot easier when you start out . Refine hitting the tree exactly where you aim , before moving to a smaller tree ... I have seen the tree completely missed and that can get ugly fast ... My big brother used to p*** me off when we were kids , He could effortlessly ride our trusty TL125 around in circles and figure 8's all day long ...@ walking speed ... Glenn

I must ride with some Quality people , I've never worried about it ...

A larger platform for your feet to plant on is just so much more comfortable and controllable ,

No comment ....

B&J racing sell some weld on footpeg extensions that might work for you ... Bad photo , but you get the 2 top serrated loops and adjust and weld them to your stock pegs. Good luck , I don't know of anything that fits the stock early fantics... Glenn

These are for a 240 , but you'll get the Idea ... Main gear sprocket Nut 14mm : 70/90Nm Ignition rotor Nut 15 mm : 65/70Nm Head cylinder 4 screw 9mm : 30/35Nm Engine (front) Spindle 10mm : 50/60Nm Engine/Swingin arm spindle 4 screw 8mm : 25/30Nm Gear box covers screw 6mm : 9/11Nm Cluth Nut 16mm : 80/100Nm Shock aborbers 4 screw 8mm : 19/22Nm Front wheel Spindle 15mm : 39/44 Rear wheel Spindle 17mm : 98/117NM

I still like Let's Dance better ... Maybe it's just a Bowie thing ...

I've been running Ave gas for years now in my bikes and small engines ...And everything always fires up with no issues , and it helps I've got a small airport about 3 miles away . And I use only eth free premium in my van , whenever possible , the mileage difference is worth it to me ....

As Above , Especially true when a high quality Thick/stiff waterproof type grease is used , along with cold weather ... Glenn

And I keep riding my Trusty Fantic... But a 300rr keeps invading my dreams ......

I saw some photo's of it at the show , work of art ! I'm so glad you didn't hide your craftsmanship with that paint stuff ! Again , SUPERB! Glenn

Steve Goode has the correct coils also , and great service , even over here ! And they mount with 2 bolts ....!

As above , body position/weighting will make it easier and yes you can control it with your clutch , covering the rear brake on my old fantic is awkward for me sometimes too ...

Again , WOW !!!!
