By far the easiest way to do this is to change your oil and measure the right amount to put in. If you really want to check it then there's a bolt on the right hand side just between the casing and your brake pedal. Undo it and if oil runs out it's ok, if not then you need to add oil till it runs out. You can find the procedure in the Scorpa SY manual here.

You could try dropping a blade or R1 engine in, that should do the trick!

Not being a Mont man, what is this "programmable throttle body?"

What you need is a repair kit. BVM sell them, their web site is here. The psiton that has popped all the way out has a small seal on it that sits below a ridged washer. The seal is sure to be nicked and letting air in. The kits are about

Why anyone is using grease when changing bearings is beyond me? The bearings are sealed so you don't need grease there. The only bit of grease I use is to help the axle go back in. What I do to make like easy is to remove the front caliper. It's only two bolts and it's way easier to fit that on to the wheel than to get the wheel and disc in to postion with it fitted.

Up here in Scotland there is three classes of rider. Novice, Non-Expert and Expert. You win a National Trial in your class and are promoted to the next class. You can still ride the easier route, at the end of the trial the scores will be listed as: Novice A's, Novice B's, Non-Expert A's...etc. The awards are listed on the trial entry form so riding out of class may result in a no-award ride but at least you know before hand. The class of rider is controlled by the SACU and listed on each riders licence. I spoke to the ACU about their system and as far as I know there is no differance in rider skill with respect to the registration card? The rider just picks the route to ride and that's that.

That's Raga, been kicking around for a while that one.

This is easliy solved by using the right pad for your bike, i.e SY specific.

Change the discs? What pads you using? I use Apico. I find it a bit strange that two bikes have all the calipers not working? That's four brakes, weird. Maybe one but not four. If you take the caliper off and remove the pads do the pistons come out together at the same rate? What about the discs? Are they mounted the right way for the direction of wheel rotation?

Putting any sealent on your spokes really is not the way to go. This will simply split as the spokes are put under any tension, through riding or tightening of them. The whole idea of the band is to seal the air on the tyre side and prevent it getting to the spokes. As Alan say's, clean everything very well. Seat the band, what will have happend is that the band will not have equal tension all the way around. You need to feed/push the areas of the band that are under small amounts of tension towards the areas that are under larger amounts of tension. Make sense? Your aim is to have the band sat under the lip and be equal in tension in all areas. You can use sealant to seal over the top of the band if you like, or even wet assemble with it. Bear in mind though that if your band should still fail and it has been wet assembled you will need a new one. Hope this helps, stick with it, its a pain but it will be worth it!

Need more info to help here. My brakes are fine.

It was a good trial John, as always. Shame some more of the typical SSDT sections weren't used but it was nice to have new ones anyway. Thanks to all. One of the guys from Lincolnshire said it was the best trial he'd ever been to!

Renthal R1, because they last and don't stretch too much.

Staying in Ft William tonight.

Good spot Stu, what the hell is going on there? Has someone been playing with Photoshop?

There you go, thanks Dave.

What sort of trial is it? Never been there before.

After reading a few posts I can see 'Lennie' is making friends fast.

I believe this rule was adopted to reduce the amount of flak officials get from riders etc. If a rider displays his/her number they can be reported to the Clerk of the Course should the need arise. Furthermore, I think this rule only applies at National trials as opposed to Closed to Club. A lot of riders just use paper and a marker pen, or even a bit of brown packing tape and marker.

I believe the forks may have changed after the 02? With respect to the flywheel weight too, where are you posting from? The UK SY's have a heavy flywheel.

Looking for Regs and an entry form online, anyone know where to look?

I bought an abba bead breaker. It wasn't cheap at around

I've had a simliar problem on my SY. The clutch bite point kept moving so I've been adjusting the plunger to make it longer. I change the plates and springs but still the same. I can't adjust on the engine as it's as far as it can go and has been like that since I bought the bike from new. Any ideas? There's no bleed nipple so bleeding is worthless.

There's not really anywhere really close, the trial starts in the middle of nowhere to be honest. Last year we stayed in a camp site in Craignure. There web site is here. If I was riding this year I'd stay again. You can take your own tent or hire one of their's. There's a pub just across the road which was very busy last year! Many of the riders stayed at the campsite, it's about 20 min drive to the start due to the single track roads.

The photo shows the top half of your body. Looks like it my have been taken at the top of mamore? Anyway, it's credited to Trialsphotos.com so I guess Andy must have taken it?
