I've been tempted by an offer of a meal deal at Greggs

Remembered mine was connected to fuel line from tank to carb, explains simultaneous use from both tanks. Sorry for confusion. Have you removed the check valve from the bikes petrol tank breather?

Pipe that reaches to the bottom of the auxiliary tank connects to main tank breather. The petrol is drawn from both tanks at the same time, when your auxiliary tank has lost a litre so will the main tank.

I've used Dampire silica bags for years, others available and I think the horsey people use similar for their boots. Leave them in you boots over the week, then hang them out to dry in the airing cupboard when going to a trial. Boots don't dry completely in a week but are still plyable enough to put on.

Looking forward to the Alwinton two day trial next year

Tut Tut is one of the few noises your bike hasn't made

Hopefully somebody buys it before you.

Turn off petrol and drain carburettor or run the engine till it uses up the petrol in the carburettor. It may lose oil from the gearbox breather too depending on which bike. Try leaving it on its side in the garage a few hours and see what comes out.

I dislike Honda intensely

North East England seems to get an increase in rider entries in winter over similar courses in the summer. I guess people have less to do or go to in winter.

Took me 3 months to get adjusted to Mont 4RT, gave it a good chance over 18 months, then went back to 2 stroke.

I know. Barbers use the same trick, offering hair extensions to save them sweeping up.

Interesting, wish i'd kept the 2004 200 (160cc), I had to force it to lose grip on wet grass. Yet I didn't get on with the 200 Beta.

Regarding the sticking clutch. After riding my bike it was parked in the garage and the clutch lever tied back onto the bars with a rubber band (slice of old inner tube). No more sticking.

Had both, preffered the 250 with additional flywheel weight and a cam profile throttle tube.

Everything from the poor education system to my toast catching fire

I blame Honda

Or a crank seal

My Gas Gas throttle sometimes sticks too.

I tried an RK O ring, too wide for the guide and there may be clearance issues at the gearbox sprocket/case area.

Compare it with the other new seals and swap into one of the other cylinders to see if the problem moves to that one. Do the seals have a tapered cross section, if so, is it fitted correctly. Is the piston correct. On assembly use brake fluid or specific rubber grease as lubrication. The above presumes the caliper is disconnected from the system, if not, open the bleed valve or remove the reservoir cap to allow fluid to return/escape, otherwise you'll be fighting back pressure.

Any suspicion of a defect and the gearbox needs inspection via engine removal/stripdown. They are a bit fragile, but ignore warning signs at your expense.

I'd be happy if they'd kicked those rocks away before my turn. At one of the world rounds held near Penrith a few years back, same thing was going on, dry rocks and riders/helpers were pouring water on. How does it help?

Here's a quick thought without any depth. A front wheel rotation sensor, similar to ABS, connected to a transponder, signals the observer with flashing lights and sirens. I'm going to the air raid shelter now.
