[Buying Used Bikes]

Don't forget you can have a shop look at the bike for you

Well worth an hours labor, especially if they find a laundry list of problems

[Fantic 200 Minarelli]

Beautiful B.C.

[Rev 3 250 08]

Transmission oil won't cause your bike to not idle

And you should absolutely acquaint yourself with the idle and air screw, have an experienced guy walk you through air screw setting and you will get it figured

[Fantic 200 Minarelli]

Don't worry about it Steve

It's gonna take you forever to put 5000km on that thing

[Filter Oil?]

Think of it this way

The foam is NOT the filter

The oil held by the foam IS the filter

[Mokwepa - My Progress :)]

Oohhh that's a gooder

How does a guy fill the center so you don't drop the wheel in?

1inch plywood?

[Mokwepa - My Progress :)]

If you use a kicker maybe you should stand the barrel up and fill it with water

[Do Asian Trials Riders?]

I wonder if its racial?

Does anyone know who coined the phrase?

Personally I think we should call it a "Canuck Zap" from now on, I'm sure it was a Canadian who invented it

[Helmet Recomendations?]

I don't think there is an answer as every head is different

My Wulf pushes my ears forward, very annoying

My Airoh fits like a glove and vents very well

There's no way anyone can tell you a helmet is comfortable or not simply cuz it's all about fit, like shoes

[Beta Evo 4T Gearbox Oil]

4 strokes can run on a lot less oil than the manual says, just gets dirty faster

I think in a lot of motors less oil can be better for performance

[Shed / Workshop Security]

Whatever you do for an alarm is great but lock the crap out of everything, make one way in and one way out, I have a small man door that my bike won't even fit through as the only easy way in and out

The rest is steel bars and pipes on windows and doors, bike is locked to the steel bike stand

My alarm is cellular and monitored

[Keeping Cool Whilst Riding!]

Hmmm, 20c is room temperature

Good riding temp, it gets over 30 and I'm not into riding anymore

[First Person Pat Smage Riding Show!]

Thanks for sharing

[Evo 250 Stator]

Did you try the bad one on your mates bike?

[Special Tools For Crankshaft Removal]

If you leave all of the clutch plates in and pressure plate removed you can apply some load to the plates with your finger

Not enough to use a torque wrench but it will keep the hub from spinning while you hit the nut with an impact gun

You need to be careful about knocking the dogs off transmission gears

[Beta Evo Oil]

Allow me to be the first to mention that this oil discussion has been well documented time and time again

Perhaps search would yield a vast amount of information for you to ponder

Beware, every rider has a preference and every oil is better than the last including ATF

[Hot Start Aaaaarrrgghhhh!]

So if you don't use the hot start regularly and it's always shut, it will stick open?!

Ya it gets corroded and combustion debris fouled, you pull it open and the spring won't let it close

[Non Starting Techno]

Probably a leaky needle and seat, mine hydraulic locked it flooded so bad

Once the plug has fouled it's junk, huck it and replace with a fresh one

[Hot Start Aaaaarrrgghhhh!]

I work with a lot of KTMs and they will stick the hot start open permanently if its not used regularly and maintained

Maybe yours is stuck open too?

[Mokwepa - My Progress :)]

Ummm, I think your wife wants her Yoga pants back but good on ya for getting an hour a day in practicing

I'm part way into Bernie Schreibers book and he talks a lot about keeping legs near straight and balance over the bike

You have to read what he is talking about as its a great description

[This Man Has Skills]

i really like jason finn, but i thought he was an arrogant ******* for making that comment.

julien dupont has only developed a new genre of trials riding in the exact same way jason did years ago. hypocrite much?

I dunno, when you are #1 at your craft its hard to call it arrogant

He has a valid point of view and it's from a classic trials background

Skills wise I don't think Julien holds a candle to Jason, as much as I enjoy ride the world it's kinda illegal hooliganism

If it was a gun video it would be a guy shooting at stuff in a city, some people would like it and some would think it's bad for the sport

[Rim Strip #$*@)!]

One of the guys on here said Mastic was the thing to use

It stays goo so you can still adjust your spokes

[Evo 250 Stator]

Ya a coil can do many things

Remember it's a thousand windings of wire that is not supposed to touch each other

When it fails it touches at one or two spots so it can make no voltage or lots of voltage depending on where it touches

I bet there are some shorted stators that run for years

[Rim Strip #$*@)!]

Is it not sealing air from the spokes?

[4Th and 5Th Gears Slipping At Higher Rpm]

And if you take it apart, measure the free length of the springs

They might be the cause of the clutch slipping
