[Any Tips Or Advice On My Riding?]

Ditto, the better you get the slower you go

Kinda the opposite of MX and XC

[Woodruff Key Sheared]

always put a bit of valve grinding paste on the taper of the crank then offer up the flywheel and grind the two surfaces together until they mate perfectly then fit the woodruf key and torque it up . it is not the woodruf key thats supposed to hold it in the right place thats the job of the taper the key is only there to make sure it is correctly alligned

Bingo, Ditto on the lapping and Ditto on the key being only for indexing

[Tools]

I mix em

Some stuff like the most common sizes get the good wrench (especially in smaller sizes) and just fill in the less common sizes with low dollar stuff

Things like Philips screwdrivers, don't cheep out, better quality just works better for longer

Ratchet and socket sets just go mid grade and look around for sales

There are a lot of brand names out there but not so many tool factories, a lot of stuff rolls out the same door with a different look

[Time For Better Translation And Product Description.]

Power is only an advantage to those skilled enough to use it properly

I have been in the Japanese bike world all my life and have enjoyed soooo much Jenglish that translations always make me chuckle

If you get late 70's owners manuals or service manuals they are absolutely full of gems like that

[What Oil Helps Make Clutch Buttery?]

Ya I agree, I have tried a few and it seems like many are good but some seem to have some property that increases drag regardless of viscosity

Weird thing

[A Short Compilation]

I kinda like the compilation stuff, but it would be way better with some really intense Dubstep kinda Rave music

......

[4T/2T Future]

There are probable a dozen real good reasons

Patent infringement

Expense

Physical dimensions

Enormous fuel pressure

Electrical output (turn over a modern DI 2 stroke by hand and feel the mag drag, WOW!)

It's just Not easy to make a direct injected 2T

4T is over 100 years old, it's easy and cheep and it's the future til electric comes of age

[4T/2T Future]

If pressed, the manufacturers could develop technology to make anything quiet

It's amazing what happens when necessity rears it's ugly head

[Some More Fun In The Woods :)]

I enjoy weird camera angles and would like to see more of that, but keep the camera low on the bike or body so the terrain does not look flat

And don't delete the crashes

You could try placing e camera in different places and film the same section from different angles, then take the time to edit them so it looks like real time

[Some More Fun In The Woods :)]

I like the camera angles and fly cam and editing and riding

Good job

I don't think every video needs music......was that music? ......I remember the days when bands played instruments like guitars and drums

Try a little AcDc or Mettalica or iron maiden on

Maybe an intro and outro but listen to the bikes in the middle

Oh and do some backflips, I like backflips

[Is It Me?]

LOL, I sold my 17 year old Beta and the guy flipped out and wanted his money back cuz the kick start slips the ratchet every once in a while, always started for me, he is a dirt bike guy and I'm guessing was jumping up and down on it or something

I took it back and told him used trials bikes are not for him

He drove 300km to return the bike with a 1 ton diesel truck rather than take my offer of paying for the parts to fix whatever was slipping

[Evo Will Not Start]

What is the resistance now?

Also measure the resistance as far from the stator as you can so you measure the integrity of the wire harness and harness ground

Do two tests, isolate the stator and then test it again through the harness

[Is It Me?]

Don't forget

Ridden mostly on Sundays

[Questionable Design]

Ya I get what you are saying and it makes sense

All I would say is impact to a spinning flywheel so far away from the bearing has the possibility of bending the crank stub

Which one is worse

[First Day Out]

It's really the best kind of pain, it was fun getting it and keeps reminding you of a good day and you know it will get better

Show me the victim LOL

[1997/8 Beta Techno]

Hey a question for you gents about a 97 Techno

Mine seems to slip the kick start ratchet ever few kicks

Always returns to the top

Is it just the 2 ratchet pieces? Or is there more to it

[2001 Beta Rev 3 Front Suspension Question: "sloppy" Sag]

Ditto with Dan, my bike is a lot easier to ride with more spring

Took a lot of the fore and aft transfer away while turning, so now I can get some 3's once in a while along with my 5's

[Clutch Master Cylinder Alternatives]

Cope is right about the self adjusting aspect

But all it takes is a bit of a sticky seal and the seal pulls the piston back to the same place regardless as to clutch pack thickness and wear

That is difficult thing to account for as it's not factory spec and could vary between bikes

So if the total stroke of the slave is like 3 mm (Guess) and you are 1 mm off then you have lost 30% of your stroke

Anyway, if the glue removal doesn't deal with drag then this measurement should be checked

[Which Bike Again - Sorry But My Requirements Are Unusual]

I hadn't heard of Rekluse, interesting reading and I'm sure it would help.

I've read a few similar comments on 300's, I'm inclined to rule out a 250 but keep a 300 as an option. With more practise I may get away with reduced clutch usage on a 300, I've also considered a switchable Rev limiter as a safeguard.

DRs have advised me to use anti inflammatories, I prefer the physio advice of stretch and ice, but exercising the finger extending muscles has provided some relief and left my hands less clenched at rest.

Vitamin B6 sure helps me out with Teno and carpal tunnel, just don't overdose on the stuff, just take the recommended amount

[Clutch Master Cylinder Alternatives]

I can't see a selection of shims not and I wonder if maybe it was on my Rev 3

Here is a description from the manual.......good luck with it

And I Quote, I wish I could attach the graphic but I can't do it with my iPad

Note:

The device you pressure plate must have a play between 0.4 mm and 0.6 mm. There- fore, proceed as follows when replacing disks:

•Reassemble the clutch without the outer

cover

•Send the control rod to end of travel by

pushing the pressure plate and measure

distance F

•Operate the clutch lever until the control

rod activates the pressure plate. Measure distance G and check that there is difference of approximately 0.4-0.6mm.

[Clutch Master Cylinder Alternatives]

There is a shim involved as well

The clutch only slightly disengages, it does not push the plates apart by even 1mm per surface

I think it's roughly .040 thou

So if your clutch shim is too thin then maybe you are simply not getting full stroke on the pressure plate

[4T/2T Future]

Balderdash there Zippy, everyone knows Canada produces the finest of herbs

[Questionable Design]

I would steer clear of the other way

Put the long long crank stub with a large rotating mass on the end

The end closest to hitting the ground

There is no magic design that is reasonably priced to build

Maybe all of the people who design motorcycle engines are right!

[Will Trials Help My Riding?]

LOL, you too huh

Don't even get me started about trying to balance on my bicycle

[Suspension Sag]

Pop quiz:

What is the purpose of "Sag"

As in why would I need it
