Atf in the gearbox sometimes helps with clutch slip,some synthetic oils seem too slippery and improve the gear change but make the clutch slip

Reigers as fitted to the racing aren't as good as the raga one .ohlins is better than both and more durable Reiger needs servicing sooner Unless you're capable of national championship riding you won't need the upgrade .Better off spending the money on tyres you'll lose more marks through lack of grip than anything else

Pull out of the deal and demand your money back,there's no guarantee when you ll take delivery 2014 model in 2015 is not worth anywhere normal rrp look at the discount deals that are available on new old stock Are the 2015s in stock?if so demand one instead if not who knows when You've been let down enough already personally I would buy something else.Ossa don't have the best reputation,whether they survive won't be helped by this sort of thing.Vertigo and TRS are coming into an already crowded market next year,I can't see all the brands surviving but only time will tell

Fi will allow the bike to run clean straight away but you still should warm it up to avoid the chance of a cold seizure.Honda have done a good job on the fi on the 4rt but they have much more experience to draw on and their build quality is far better than any other trials bike .We'll have to wait and see how well Vertigo do it and how well it copes with harsh UK conditions (ssdt will be test)if it's ok there it'll be fine anywhere Good luck to them might give the other manufacturers a shake up

Trials bike would be good in the tight and twisty stuff but hopelessly slow on more open going .steering geometry would be well twitchy at speed ,no seat and too small a tank range.Think you'd finish it off and be too slow anyway some of the events I've done have been flat out in top gear on a Kawasaki 250 2t motox in places and the quick guys were passing me Trials bike suspension is no good on fast rough stuff either unless you like falling off

Honda success at wtc is a lot to do with Toni Bou and a large budget .All the others face a big struggle against that

Extra weight harder to stop on steep drops and lees acceleration and less agility

Are you using atf?if so this makes the clutch sharper .Proper gear oil makes it more progressive though sometimes at the expense of slight drag

Best build quality out there with good maintenance it'll go on for ever in clubman events .Try one first though not everyone gets on with them

I have the brown leather Hebo boot which I find still protective when wet but a touch heavier than my previous Gaernes .I have had a few bruises when wearing the Gaernes none from the Hebos Hebos take a bit of wearing in,but I feel more secure wearing them

My son and I have had 6 of them between us 3x300 2 x250 and 1 280 the newest being 2011 The 300s each had anew kickstart gear the 2010 300 did a few Btc rounds and tough events and lots of practice It still rode fine when it was sold The only other bits we replaced were the consumables you'd put on any bike.We changed the gear oil every 4trials cleaned out the airbox and air filter every meeting Nothing else went wrong finished every event entered. I Have recently swapped to jtg for a change more than anything which I feel rides better but if it proves a wrong decision I would not hesitate to have another GasGas

Agree with the above post .If the Mont is still in good shape buy it .The GasGas was a good bike in its day but nowhere the build quality of the Mont(built by Honda)The BETA is cheap and would be lighter and easier to ride but the electrics and clutches on them can be poor Trials suspension is softer than enduro but I wouldn't worry about it it won't hold you back

Some people change them for the earlier ajp brakes which were far more reliable Gas Gas only used the Formula kit for a year.If you're going to keep the bike it's worth replacing them but it's not cheap

It might not be the carb,they can get like that when the silencer needs re packing

This doesn't seem to have much to do with Vertigo any more can the 2 main protagonists call a truce had enough now

Bmw and Montesa(read Honda) are more experienced with efi and their build quality is rather better than most

Bit of a weapon to start off with but a very good bike in it's day you will probably need to calm it down with a slow action throttle and an extra base gasket on the barrel

Very similar to a Jotagas but with efi

Any info on when and where you can buy one and how much?Im not after a new bike but be interested to see one

You don't want one that old,it's about 1985/6whats your budget

Use an atf bottle with oil of your choice and lift the front wheel as high as possible so making the filler hole vertical I put the front wheel on my bench and put the bike in gear to stop it rolling back

Can you borrow a coil off another bike to try?

Maybe uk market and bike preference isn't representative of the global market.The bike the average Uk rider wants to ride in slippery uk conditions is not the same as one for firing up grippy rocks in Spain for example .Our 20 per cent VAT doesn't help bikes that are dearer from the factory to start with .UK riders seem unwilling to try the newer makes even though the newer ones maybe better . I feel it's an uphill struggle to succeed commercially even for the established makes there doesn't seem to be enough riders with deep enough pockets to spend £5500 on a new bike and lose £1500/2000 in a year

All modern bikes are capable far beyond what the majority need which wasn't the case when the mono Yam came out Most people that bought one found that their results significantly improved (till your competitors had one) Don't think that many riders can cock up a section and blame the bike these days even at wtc level .Some will buy the Vertigo whatever it costs but it's power output will intimidate most I can see that using the least aggressive maps will calm it down but you might as well bought something less powerful
