guys

Welcom Zoran. Love the Africa Twin

There isn't even any mentioning of the new model on their website... Strange... http://www.scorpa.fr/index.php

What about an educated guess? Better? :-)

This is normal. Did a small search for you: http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/topic/49882-brake-disc-movement/?hl=%2Bfloating+%2Bdisc#entry359517

I understand your point all to well. I've just tested thermostatic switch on my 2012 GasGas and its faulty. This shouldn't happen on a 2 year old bike.

As most will probably know, Hope has produced some parts for Jason Finn's trial bike in the past...

Some may find it hard to believe, but there are still people around who do things, not only because it makes a lot of money or only makes sense in a business way, but out of passion for the sport or the love of fabricating stuff. Why else would we be riding these silly little motorbikes with no seat?

Good craftsmanship is in the details, or how does one say that in English...

At least give them credit for trying. Wouldn't you like it when, for instance, Triumph made an attempt at making a trials bike?

A new brand? Again? O well... Like I say to couples who are thinking of having children: Why would you want to do that? Everybody's already here... I've got the impression that Trial is on the up. Our club has a record number of members and there seem to be more people at practice too. Let's hope TRS makes some nice bikes...

Fork must be extended when fitting top cap.

Been practicing at our lokal trial club grounds, GasGas rode wonderful until coolant came out of the radiator cap hose. Than I noticed the fan didn't work. Damn, back to the van, removed the fuel tank, checked the connectors and now the fan won't stop running when the engine's on. Oh bugger, knowing my luck probably a broken relais or temp. switch

Nice looking bike, like the colors too. What's the black box in front of the handlebars? Speedo?

Thanks... I understand and respect that your experience has led to that starting procedure. But my '08 4RT runs fine, even when you blip the throttle while warming up. I expect from a high tech fuel injection system that it runs without any tricks applied, given the fact that everything else is in working order (no clogged fuel or air filters, a good ignition spark, good compression etc.) Just out of interest, have you ever checked/cleaned your fuel filters?

Why not? I think there's something wrong with your bike if you have to wait so long to touch the throttle. As the manual says: gently warm the engine up by blipping the throttle. Nothing wrong with that.

Did you 'reset' the throttle? Is the first thing that springs to mind. One or two slow kicks with the throttle wide open, than start it as normal with the throttle closed...

And when are you going to sell your 250 and buy a 125? Just kidding! I believe you, but that's not my point. I just don't like it when some people try to make others feel guilty for not buying a 250. I know you all just want to give good advice, but not everybody is the same

On the other hand, these days there are plenty of ways to make a 280 or even a 300 behave like you want it to. I'm just reacting because if I let you guys carry on, soon we all have to buy 50cc's or feel the wrath... I weigh 94kg and a like the bottom end power of my 280 when I'm creeping up a steep hill... And didn't the medieval Chinese already know that the powel contlol is in the light wlist

I put a piece of cardboard between the rear wheel and the swing arm, attach it with a clothespin to the chain guard, so when I spray (between the chain tensioner and the rear sprocket), it hits the card bord and nothing else...

If you catch a bike from your mate, and he gets hurt enough so he can't ride it anymore, you get to keep the bike, so I'm told...

What did they do back in the time, with the gearbox oil drain bolt that protrudes quite a bit from the bottom of the engine?

So your chain is bone dry on the inside of the rollers and bushing, where it needs the lubrication the most... Or is the 'old juice' your secret lube?

I degrease my chain as little as possible. and when I do, I use petrolium. ( if you degrease the chain completely it always takes some time before the grease is able to penetrate completely in the bushings) After washing my bike I ride the chain dry or blow it dry with compressed air. If there's still to much gunk on the chain, I brush it of with a steel wire brush, or wipe it of as much as possible with a cloth. To grease the chaine I use S100 White Chain Spray, wich leaves a reasonable dry film on the chain

Haven't got a clue...
