  1. Pictures say more than words: To prevent the minor leak (@ 4:53 in the film) I put some teflon tape on the treads of the bleederscrew.

  3. If I understand your theory correctly, a diesel engine should produce more horsepower than a gasoline engine... hmmm... But what burns faster? Gasoline or oil? I think that also has a great (or even greater) influence on the combustion. Just thinking out loud... Btw, I used to run my '98 Cota 315R at 80:1 (as reccomended by Montesa) with no problems.
  4. Signed the petition! @ Old Trials Fanatic: Every little bit helps. Thanks for the vote
  5. If you run into a Montesa Cota 315R (2000 or younger for the 4-caliper brake) you should try it. You will love it! bullit proof, easy to ride and the parts are not to expencive.

    Boot Choice

    I used to have Gearne and now I have Alpinestars. They should combine the flexebility of the gearne with the protection of the Alpinestars!

    315R Sump Guard

    Leave well alone??? How are you going to change the oil filter, when the rubber cushion is pressing hard on the flywheel-cover, without removing the sump guard? When you have to use u-clamps to mount the sump-guard it's high time to get it back in almost original shape with a hydr. press or to get a new one otherwise you might damage the treads in the frame.

  10. If the easiest way to loose weight, is, loose some (fat)weight, I would be 10kg lighter :-) It may be the cheapest way, but not the easyest!
  11. Thanks for the reply Rich :-)
  12. Does anyone got any experience with the Clice Fora Six Day Pants?
  13. If it's a majority sport you're looking for, maybe your kids should try soccer or football. Only saying, it's not how much people do the sport, it's the ammount of fun you have that counts. Maybe trials was never your sport to begin with.
  14. Nice! Plenty of space to practice those basic skilz.
  15. Hi I don't know what you've already cheked, but this is what I would do: I would start by replacing and inspecting the old gearbox oil. Be sure to use the correct amount and type of oil. If the old oil has a lot of debris/gunk in it, or it has been a very long time in use, or if you don't know what type of oil was in the gearbox, I would change the new oil again after one ride to make sure that the gearbox/clutch runs in nice clean oil. Another thing you can check before opening your gearbox is the fluid in the clutch lever. Again make sure to use the correct type of fluid and make sure that you bleed the system thoroughly and top up the fluid in clutch lever. It only makes sense to open the gearbox after you've checked the items above. Enjoy and success
  16. A NGK CR5EH-9 sparkplug is "hotter" than a CR6EH-9 and therefore better suitable in colder conditions. It's as simple as that I think http://www.ngksparkplugs.com/tech_support/spark_plugs/p2.asp
  17. Could be. I can only comment on the van's I've driven
  18. I've got a VW Transporter that does 35 mpg. I use it for everyting, don't have an other car and I'm afraid I don't drive it very slow (chip tuned to 130 bhp) so it could be more economical if you want it to be I think. I've driven other van's at work, Citoën Jumpy, Opel (Vauxhall) Vivaro and Ford Transit and the VW is the only "larger van" that feels and rides almost like a "normal" car.

    Which Brake Pads

    The reason i'm asking is that most pads seem to build up a hard surface that needs to be sanded off every few races. On my previous bike, a 315R from 1988, I used Lucas brake pads and I can't remember I ever had to take them out, they allways performed well. The problem is that I can't find Lucas pads for my 4RT so I think I'm stuck with Galfer. O well... so be it...

    What are the best brake pads for my Cota 4RT? Galfer, Jitsie (=GoldFren), Braking, EBC, ... ? Kind regards, Guy
