  1. My 2012 GasGas TXT 280 Racing weighs 68,6 kg or 151,2 lbs (bathroom scales)
  2. When you've got a large syringe, just push the fluid from the caliper to the open master cylinder reservoir. Empty the reservoir a few times without removing the syringe, so you can push about 50cc through the system. Works every time for me.
  3. There's only a very small chance it's going to rain or snow in the weekend...
  4. If you want to make a shaft drive that has no influence on the suspension, you need a complicated construction ( see paralever on BMW motorcycles) I would prefer an enclosed belt drive...
  5. I think that's the major problem with our sport. If you're not a trials rider you'll probably never heare of the sport. It doesn't get any TV coverage here in Belgium ( It used to when Eddy Lejeune was winning world titles) And there is very little or no promotion of the sport such as trial schools etc.. Changing the rules (stop or no stop) or the bikes won't make much difference i.m.o.
  6. It could be that I've read a bad translation (from French). Maybe he started competition 3 years ago? In any case, my apologies.
  7. This 16 year old kid started trials 3 years ago and will be competing in the world cup next year. The video was made 2 years ago when he was just 14!
  8. Fantastic! Do you bring your awesome souding Ducati?
  9. And make sure you lay the bike on it's side when you mount the clutch cover, to make sure the clutch parts stay in their place...
  10. I beg to differ. I'm overweight but I definitely feel the advantage of a lighter bike.
  11. Most classic trials in Europe are done that way, except maybe in the Expert class. Video's of our event last year:
  12. Next weekend I'll be mostly punching cards at our Classic trial... which is nice
  13. Or maybe mountainbike gloves?
  14. He was to busy trying to be cool by over revving his engine
  15. guys

    300 Pro Chain

    But the "light" trials chains have smaller outer dimensions so you can't combine a "light" 520 chain with a "normal" one. Most chain manufacturers have the dimensions on their website...
  16. The low compr. insert combined with a slow throttle on my 280 suits me very well
  17. The original (factory) inserts are also made by S3 so no problem
  18. I bought the bike second hand so I guess I'm not entitled to warranty, but I know of some guys in Belgium that bought their bike new and got a free replacement (AJP)
