One good point there is the lever
I have an 010 and the bike came with a shorty lever, swapped output for the long lever and the geometry is different and although it has no effect on clutch drag it improves clutch feel substantially
-
You could also make your own with a short piece of old speedo cable and silver solder
-
LOL, we get the odd black bear, lots of deer and a moose or two
Minders don't have to carry a large caliber rifle to guard you from the wildlife, that's kind of interesting for sure but I'm glad I don't have to watch for Elephants in a section
-
Sag is not applicable as its to allow the wheel to drop into a hole at speed and not affect the chassis, we don't have this speed thing
Springs are suited max of 180lb rider stock and probably need to be changed for heavier guys and its all feel
Ryan Young teaches that you set up the front and rear independently
Having said that, it's tough to get setup advice as its completely subjective, some like lively and some don't, you want the back to have some bounce, not completely damped like MX
But not too much so it kicks of obstacles
-
Ya my 07 was a bit fuel fussy, I ran some ring free through it to decarbon and it was much much better
But if its rattling at idle then is piston skirt wear or shrinkage from overheat
And I have heard of crank bearings going on them but I would think that would produce a growl and deep knock from down low in the motor
-
I don't really know, never ridden the 4 stroke, I had a rev 3 2t and liked it
Quantity of power is just not a big factor, quality is more important, you do most things with weight
big power isn't really that important
-
How bad could it be?
The old chassis is not a easy to ride as an Evo is so its not a current model and wont feel like it
But if its clean and well taken care of and the price is right then get it, if it turns out to not suit your riding style then punt it and find what works better for you
It may be your first trials bike but like all of us, it won't be your last

There are few perfect moments in life
And your kids provide most of them

Borrow another torque wrench
Torque a nut or bolt
Felt pen the socket and the work
Loosen
Use the other torque wrench and torque to same value and see if the felt pen marks line up
We use this to check cylinder head torque etc, works well
If the marks don't line up then the 2 wrenches are different
-
You may be doing that, have someone watch you or better yet video you so you can watch yourself
My riding buddy did that last fall and it really helps to see yourself and the movements you make
I practice wheelies into, over and onto everything I can
Small logs and rocks are great practice just to help with timing, when you get to bigger ones its one less thing to concentrate on
-
I presume that system is designed for an automatic transmission scooter
Full throttle in neutral?, full throttle on a stand in 6th gear?
Full throttle in 6th gear on a road with load will give you a different plug color
I would not rely on jetting a manual transmission bike with no load like that
-
That's a different problem
ken says his pilot is too rich, you made your transition circuit richer
My 010 feels lean on the pilot, my Rev was the same
The air screw really only cleans up idle and just a hair open throttle, after that there is almost no effect
Pilot is partial throttle to about 1/3 after that it flows constantly so it can slightly richen all circuits but minimal effect
Then needle and then main above 3/4
-
I care
Personally I think stop and hop is the signature of trials, it sets it apart from every other kind of riding and I enjoy indoor the way it is
The way Tony hits a wall, fails, hops backward and attempts it again is outstanding
I hope no stop does not come to indoor
-
No no no
Your minder measures it all up and stands there with one of those pointers that teachers use
On stuff like this size I sometimes just do what they call a roll up in bicycle terms
You pretty much just hit it with the front wheel at the 3/4 point, it pops the front end high and the back just kicks up and on top
Doesn't work on undercut stuff very well but on low logs etc its good
-
Hey that's cool that it's a cheep fix and only 1.5mm
Makes me think, if you were very careful installing the flywheel I bet there is 1.5mm of radial play in the flywheel that far from center
Maybe it was all the way fwd on the key and timing could have been out that much from new
To do it again maybe a guy could load the flywheel all the way back with a flywheel holder as you are sliding it up the taper and torque it down
-
I bet the scooter oil is for oil injection systems, not pre mix
I wouldn't use it
-
The service manual says 85 watts
-
Hey Steve
I googled "How much lube should I use in a Tranny"
turns out there's this guy named Fantic
And he ........ummm.....he wasn't using motor oil
-
LOL, that took the guy hours to edit
-
Hey Steve, I can't PM you, says you cannot receive new messages LOL
-
Thanks, Ya I will give that a try, I also need to measure the shim in the clutch, it's a small amount of drag that causes it
It shifts by rev matching with no clutch rather well, but I am very hesitant to up shift in a section
If I load the shifter and hit the kill switch it will shift as soon as the engine stops
Clutch action after removing the glue is very good, some oils are better than others, the oil I had in there last tended to foam, a little comes out the breather, so I'm giving Bel ray a shot
Then some Motorex then the heck with it, TMDT at that point
-
Hey it's where every one is at one time
If you compete and finish last and get a lot of 5s you will still love it when you are done
Get out there, the people are great and the experience is excellent
-
Billy, never tried to pick a fight
If I said pistons spin round and round one would expect another to explain that they go up and down
Yes some of us do it for a living, motorcycle mechanical diagnosis and technical training is what I have done for 28 of the 33 years I have worked in the industry
Cheers to you
-
I think you have a problem there
Tires are not supposed to come off the bead when filling with air, might explain why it spun on the rim and tore your valve stem off
-
I myself keep thinking I will find an oil that lets my bike shift
For the love of god why can't a 2010 model motorcycle find neutral just once with the engine running!!
(Ya the 2012 and up Beta's shift well)
Seems like every other bike other than trials bikes can do it
It certainly is linked to the clutch as once the engine is off it shifts quite nicely
So, I think if clutches were perfect and all bikes shifted smoothly no one would ask what oil is best
Let you know what Bel Ray does for me LOL
