guys

Tubeless or tube type? That's the question.

That makes me wonder why this is not done in the factory?

The cylinder head (which also has no gasket) nuts of my 1975 Bultaco have 8mm studs (= 5/16") should be tightened with 12 ft.lbs.

I might buy a 2011 GasGas. Is there something I should be looking out for when I go see it? Any weak spots? Thanks.

I've used countersunk M10 bolts with ordenary nuts. I could just get in there with my fingers and a spanner. I've also put some Loctite on the bolts. The plate is made of 6mm aluminum. I'll upload some pictures from the nuts (ahum!) Edit: See the link in my previous post

As promised, here it is. More pictures: http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/gallery/album/184-bultaco-sherpa-bash-plate/

Let's hope so..;

Between 2,5 and 2,7 mm

I just mounted this one on my 159, works perfect. Isn't cheap but comes with a lighter flywheel which makes the throttle response a bit quicker.. After I installed it as the instructions said, I checked the timing with a strobe light and it was perfect. http://www.francetrialclassic.com/en/ignition/1280-bultaco-trial-electronic-ignition.html

They can't be that bad. Looks like the new Beta has them fitted to: http://www.trialscentral.com/headline-stories/15288-2014-beta-evo-2t-first-pictures

I'm just in the process of attaching a self made bash plate to my T350 (type 159). I'll post some pictures of it when I get to it...

A while ago someone else had the same problem. I hope this helps: http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/gallery/album/141-position-of-rubber-bashplate-cushions-on-4rt/
