  1. Hi guys.i have a 4ride and i recently changed the engine n gearbox oils.putoline oils where used for both..this is the first change from wat was in the bike from new.. now my bike lurches a bit when you engage gear and its very hard to fund neutral when the bike us running...could it be down to the oils used..its ver near impossiple to find neutral..once ye turn the engine off you can do it no bother... any ideas please..
  2. Hey Clarky...ye dont know me but i did watch yer youtube vid on the hydrolock...i just drowned my 4ride a few weeks ago. But it survived. But it needed a new condenser n rectifier n a lot o checking..there was water in everything. Ive watched yer vids on the tube...brill..where ye fae am in motherwell. I was lucky to say the least it coukdve been much worse. Me n the bike went totaly under the water n it was just a ouddle in a track..i didnt know how deep it was till i saw the front wheel dissapear..coukdnt get ma right boot off the peg quick enough tae get ma foit down n we both fell over..probably 2 plus feet o water
  3. Ma bikes runnin again...thanks to the guys who gave their tuppence worth...i needed new condenser n rectifier. N after all was checked it runs perfect wi new oils n filter..
  4. Well I bought the scorpa sy175F, a few days ago, its a good goer, but need rear wheel bearings replaced and rear brake bled as its not working, ive had second thoughts onit,, wish id have just went an bit the bullet wi the sherco, but as the sayin goes ye snooze ye looze... but alls not lost i have it on ebay an the classifieds here.. so maybe get it away an get the sherco.. I will buy the sherco, if i sell this...or should i say WHEN i sell this I dont think al be long, as it is a rare bike, with a wee bit o maintenence thru at it an maybe a few quid,, this will be one good bike,, it is powerful enough, but I didnt have it in any sections.. but the bumf ave heard about them is all good......... so see whit happens, i dont know what i can say here or not abouts selling it, as a dont want tae get into trouble an get banned. but as a said its on ebay, an if a dont give te link to it,,surley i havent broke any rules.....cheers Guys.watch this space...sherco is shouting
  5. LUCt4... dont buy the scorpa.. ye`l HATE IT... keep yer 2 stroke,,, BUT mind tell me where yer getting yer 4t................Na ye`l love it....a wish it wis me
  6. T shock.. I havent given up on the 4 stroke scorpa,,, I have had 5 hrs today on the sherco, am quite knackered the now,, ma elbows shoulders an wrists, not been on a trials bike fur at least 3 years,, but i enjoyed it,, id liek to try a few other ones before commiting maself,, the bike in particular is a grand, an it looks like new, I dont think its had a hrad life at all an never trialed unless the owner has renewed everything,, the engine is still tight an smooth. i need tae have a go on a few different ones, preferably smaller cc to see the difference,,,, had to feather the clutch a lot, but not unduly bothered me too much, i like the bike, an want tae spend ma money wisley,, the bike i think, is well worth the money. but i need to try the scorpa before i make up ma mind,, its a scorpa sy175.. today i was only trundling around,, tried a few sectional hills, never made it, but desperate tae try the scorpa,, an see wit its like compared tae the 290. will report back soon....... would a montesa 4rt be more suitable fur me,, or are they handfuls ? I want to trundle around, maybe do clubmen trials, at best,, am 615" an 20 stone, but reletavly fit.. a have a wee bit o a belly but not bad, na height covers that... but wantin tae lose weight also.. am 52 yrs old,,so my chances of world series is a NO GO... i want tae throw it in ma bvan an go tae europe an do the high hills... what ye think...... me
  7. Guys,, Im off tae look at a 290 sherco which is a good looker commin fae the owner.. is it a GOOD or a BAD bike mechanical wise an in a TRIALS bike.. whta do i need to look out fur, its an 03, any further than this would help me loads. cheers. an Happy new year.. john
  8. That makes a lot o sense, and in laymans terms too.... thanks. john

    Which Scorpa. ?

    HiJohn.. Thanks fur that,, I have been searching the whole of the web like crazy, looking fur info on the 4t scorpa.. really anyone.. an their hard to come by.. an thats not the ones fur sale either.. I was wanting to know, what years that Scorpa brought out their 4ts wether it is a 125, 143.160,250. as most pics i see of the bikes, anywhere all show ye pics of the offside. what can i look fur in a picture of the right side to tell me its a 4t.. as teh 2t`s look the same other than the bulge in the exhaust,, an ye only see that if theres a pic o the left side.. is their any links to ANY websites, that gives ye pics o the syf`s am NOT interested in any 2t`s only 4t.ive had in the past, 2 honda TLR 250s and i had an italjet Scott 350 with the Ducat engine.. i wish id have kept all 3 off them now,, as ad be a rich man... the Scott, ave now found out, they only ever made 100 off them.. anyway any links John wid be great,, an especially wi Pics.. if ye want tae email me please do, at tichrich@blueyonder.co.uk wi even some pics o yer own.. an maybe some pitfalls to look out fur. i have the chance of a 143cc... its really a 125 but wi a 143 kit in it... whats the kind o money am expected to pay fur any of the syf range.. even if ye email me , if ye dont want tae tell everyone... is their a following after the 4t range. i prefer them as i like 4t`s, av never been a 2t man..i like the torque. amongst a few other things... anyway John. if ye email me a`l look forward tae opening it up. cheers . afk/john
