  1. Setting up your suspension. Find out the static sag as your stating point. That's where the suspension supports the bikes weight and gives it it's riding attitude. Some where you will find that out ,even if you have to phone MRS sport. Once that's sorted the rest is easy. It just requires a pen and paper, some good tools( not knackered ones ) and some quiet time to think. If you get it wrong, start again. You can find how to check sag on loads of sites. The simplest way of having it explained is by Griff from Aprilia Performance on his Tuono set up on You tube.You need the measurements to start though. Setting is the same principle on all motorcycles. He explains the whole thing. You can also see James Holland from JHS racing explain it when he sets an MT 10.See BJ's MT 10 blog fast bikes youtube. It's about the sixth one. Just remember ,we only have two methods of adjustments. The spring and the damping Keep us posted. Ted
  2. Who's modified their earth point on 2015 onward bikes ? Where did you go back along the loom to ? What core wire did you use ? Can you post a picture please ? Any one done any worth while mods on 2017 bikes yet ? What have you done ? Regards Ted.
  3. Yes 2stroke 4 stroke that is what they're trying to do I think as they are imposing more and more restrictions on motorcycle manufacturers and users. Continual hassle from the Police with stupid excuses to stop you for any reason they see fit like "safety check". As regards hunting, i've bread some first rate running dogs and done my fair share of freezer filling and not for sport
  4. Oh merde, pas plus de neige ! I'l fait beau solile a ma maison !
  5. Ha ha ha. How's this one. Brand new EVO 2017. Thinks " ah I'll try the maps ". Press once, and press again. " Can't tell any difference ". No wonder, it's not wired into the loom!
  6. Check out a pic of Bart Simpsons hair style and you'll get it if you've seen the kick sprag
  7. Dabster,what's your gut feeling? If that was me and i wasn't happy,without a doubt,it would be back where i bought it from,or to GasGas uk weather i knew what was wrong or not.It's a new bike man. Of cource there's the clatter from the clutch support bush and you can see that explained on rising sun imports GasGas Pro clutch strip down and it will go away when the clutch is pulled in.There's no fix,but i think you would know that by now . Lob it in your van,fire it off to Kev at GasGas uk see what he makes of it and take it from there. If there's nowt wrong then you have lost some time and fuel money.If you get there and they say there's a problem then it will have been worth the trip. I've had a new 2013 Pro,noisey. I have a TXT 280 too. Do what you think's right.
  8. Yes,inch perfect is a great place . I thoroughly enjoyed my day there and could feel my confidance growing .Going again soon with my mate as he needs to get that confidance up as he's now got the bug for trials riding.
  9. Agree with you but he lives in Cornwall.Be a bit of a trip wouldn't it. Smashed to bits on rocks ha ha ha, There's worse happens to trials bikes when people who don't care have owned them but i understand where your coming from.
  10. RGH450. If you want to know anything you can't find out through normal channels,speak to Kev at GasGas uk . 01298 766813 What he doesn't know,you can write on a postage stamp. very approachable . You can do either but ,i've removed loads of them and i find it far easier to disassemble by removal of the sump shield. It's easier to man handle. Getting the sump sheild back on after can be really hard work though because they bend like hell so you might have to straighten it somewhat.
  11. Aye,thought about what the instructor told us, and after riding that one, i'd made the dessision when we went out to the river after dinner.
  12. Thats the problem,people don't seem to be bothered untill it's to late.Then you can't shut them up. It's not hard to find that's why i didn't put a link. Maybe Loads of images of trials bikes and sheep would do the trick. Looks like Duke DVD had better stock up on titles like" The last ever Scottish" & BSB 2017 "The Final Chapter"because if people can't be a***d then thats all the motor sport any one will get unless you live in the IOM or NI.
  13. I have come from GasGas and Montesa Honda and got a new Beta. Spent the whole day on a Beta,and it's smooth as silk. Having said that,i used to have a 2013 TXT pro. Aww mate brill to ride. You could ballance the thing on a crusty dog turd it was so easy on it's wheels. Just something about the Beta though. It only excells at two things but they're the two things you can use to great advantage and they are ,balance in a turn and total control of the throttle. Think the Beta is more club rider focused as opposed to the latest GasGas theme which to me seems Expert focused. Unless your a big lad or really excellent or both , don't think you would need a 300. It's your choice though.
  14. Rode none in the last two years through two real reasons. BUT come mid to late April, i'll be on a new bike and riding as many as possible and getting a mate to come along too.
  15. Been on to them about a bike this morning and GasGas just need's it's new rear tyre seating and a clutch master cylinder seal and it's sadly on it's way. I'll be back at work at that time but will keep in touch when your venues are going on and we will come down for a weekend with the misses and nipper. Cheers lads,it was a good crack !
  16. Every signature helps ,and if there's more than one well sign them all.
  17. Had a brill day at Inch perfect up inth ills of the lancs/Yorkshire boarder. If you need some direction in your riding you should go and i recomend it loads. Met a fine bunch of lads from the Isle of White and we had a bloody good time together,no show offs,no egos. If you lads are reading this,Phil will have my email address when i send him your mug shots, i'd like to come down and stay for a weekend and ride there with you.
  18. Well done men ! Don't forget,these people don't deal in common sense,just removal of freedoms and imposing their will on us all by financial assasination.
  19. Ha ha ha ,no more Monts, and i'm on a Beta tomorrow by request. Can't wait ! I spoke to Charlotte this morning as i was waiting for Wednesday and then she said there's a place tomorrow.Spare of the minute job. First time ever on a Beta.
  20. Great to hear that. I can't wait to meet the other participants and have a good laugh with everyone.
  21. This is what has my head in my hands when i see the response of 12000 petitioners. Some 50 000 people are employed within the motorsport industry.
  22. Well thanks lads . I expected some slagging at least but only two respondents. Give it till midnight and if i havent got responses other than you two ,well it just goes to show how people just sit back and take it. Hope i'm wrong here and there will be a good aknowledgement , you just got to understand what these people are up to within the EU.If you do or don't GET THE ****ING PETITION SIGNED ! All my mates have signed it , i got them to and they don't even go off road . That's the thing you see. People forget that off road is a race track too. "Aw it won't affect track days!" Yes ,it will. It's about insurance or inabillity to cover. SO SIGN ! NOW! BEFORE IT'S TO LATE ! PS. 2stroke 4vstroke if i'm understanding what you wrote you are on about the MID. If not don't hang around if you haven't signed . Don't let the grass grow under our feet. .www.fightvnuk.co.uk/petition.php
  23. Any one else on here going tomorrow? Who's been?
  24. VNUK . Without a doubt it's been mentioned,but HERE IT IS AGAIN!!!!!!! Do not ignore this, sign the petition.Some of us won't have, so do it now as it takes three minutes. Then get your wives and girl friends,mums dads,sons and daughters too as well ! IT'S THAT IMPORTANT ! SOME OF YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING IF YOU LET EU JUDGES DECIDE OUR FUTURE. I signed it and i also joined MAG for £26 as a result. You do as you like but please sign the petition.If you don't you have only your selves to blame for not trying. If you don't,and the ruling goes unabated , here's what will happen;- Your freedoms will be cut more and more,because the legal powers in the EU will force undebated statute. Some ( Inch perfect for instants & groupes like them) Will lose their lively hoods. People like the Lampkins will lose a large part of their buisness. That new bike you've just bought will be worthless and you won't be in a position to ride it legally unless you move to the IOM or America. You will have to insure the vehicle wether it's on the road or not. You will have to insure childs electric vehicles and ride on lawn mower,a possibillity of remote control drones as the description says Any powerd Vehicle. Sounds far fetched doesn't it. Well guess what it's not and it's here ! Currently a pitifull 12000 people have signed it. Its bikes cars micro lights,golf buggies,possibly old peoples disabled scooters, cars ,bikes all the way to MOTO GP and Formula 1. Don't let these tyrants tell us what to do and think,that's why,as being a former inhabitant and worker within mainland Europe, voted out. Just who the hell do they think they are!
