Now that ive been riding a bit im glad i have all those gears...

Yes. Ive ridden other peoples bikes and theirs feel great.

Im assuming i have to adjust my rear shock. Is it too stiff? Too soft? Not enough dampening or too much? Its an 08 Sherco and from the looks of it, the shock is pretty difficult to get to. Grrr... Much easier to do on my mountain bike.

I dunno where the timing is set aside from the retarder switch.

08 290. It was a couple club guys that said thats what it might be. Never thought to ask how to adjust it at the time. Im injured plus the weathers been kinda ***** so i haven't been to CPTA in a while and figured id ask on here (mostly out of boredom and the need to feel im part of the online community)

Where my pipe comes out of the head it is turning a bluish purple. Someone told me i might be running lean. What do i adjust here?

Thanks boys.

How long do I soak them?

Any way to get my tires soft again? They harden up over time and I'm wondering if I can soak them in solvent or alcohol to get that new feeling back.

Well I ended up getting an 08 Sherco 290 which is in really good shape. I've taken it out a couple times and its a blast! Trying to get a couple of my fellow bicycle trials buddies to get bikes too. I can't believe how well the tires grip!

Maybe just too low octane in fuel? Did u ever figure it out?

And it is done! Sherco 290 for the win. Hopefully its not too much for me...

All rocks all the time! There are dealers around for all the popular brands as I live in the city so no worries there.

I have always suspected the expiring helmet hype to merely a marketing scam pushed on us by helmet manufacturers. In some cases such as road bike helmets where you risk being struck by a car i would not argue that once its taken a large blow it should probably be replaced. In trials use I doubt you would ever need to replace it though unless it actually breaks.

Well I checked out the 08 Sherco today and it is pretty much new. It doesn't even have a scuff! It also comes with a brand new, in the box matching helmet and extra maintainence stuff. Seems like a good deal to me. I never tried riding the gasgas when i went and looked at it... Hmmm.
