I’ve been running this ipone oil for many years in trials/Mx/enduro bikes, even my dads vintage Lambretta and Vespas. Never had an engine seize, mains fail, big end fail while using it. Obviously routine maintenance required but ipone is the only 2t I really trust, expensive but top quality stuff (if you can get the strawberry scented ?)

The owners manual recommends Panolin off road 4t blend 10w/40, whatever that is. As I've never heard of it, let alone know where to get it, I'm going to stick with the putoline.
-
I've recently bought a '13 EVO 300 and when researching the same question it seems putoline nano trans GP is the way to go. I havnt tried it yet but will be changing to it shortly.
-
Thanks for all the input gents. I've been to see a beta 300 today and decided to go for that. The sherco was nicer condition but managed to get the beta for a much better price. Thanks again for your help

Have you had any issues with the sherco Cabby? Thanks.
-
Thanks for the reply. It is slightly worrying though. I have searched the forums and the internet but couldn't find much more than occasional issues, they appear to be quiet reliable on the surface of things , is there anything specific I should search for?
the reason I'm moving from GG is mines quiet old and tired now and I do need to upgrade. Don't fancy a newer GG (more because of company problems than the bike) so decided on a sherco or beta.

Hi everyone. I am about to finally pull the trigger on a new bike and have been to see a really nice 2015 300. The bike started and rode fine (only rode it briefly) and appears to be clean and well looked after.
Having only ever has gasgas' I'm just looking to see if there is anything specific I should be looking for on this model and year? Common faults etc. All the usual things to be checked are spot on, bearings, tyres etc etc.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Done. I hate the EU at the best of times, crap like this confirms it.

A horrible culture that seems to have developed in the states and caught on over here like all good trends. Hopefully the cap on whiplash claims will be the start of the end for the 'blame there's a claim' lot.

Jim Snells tutorials are legendary! I owe that man a beer or 6 for the times he's helped me out
Thanks for all your effort Jim!

Thanks a lot. Manger to find some online now from a Talon distributor. Thanks.

Hi. I need to replace the front and rear sprockets as they're long overdue. Only problem is I'm having some trouble finding a rear sprocket.
The bike is a 1999 contact 200 (which I believe is actually a 160cc) with a 44 tooth rear sprocket fitted which seems quite large (I'm quite happy with the gearing so would rather not change it if poss), my question is do these sprockets cross over with any other models or makes that will make give me more options? As always advice much appreciated. Thanks
-
Me and a couple of friends went on an experience day last week and I spent the day on a 4rt. I wasn't sure at first and was planning to swap to a beta evo 250 at lunch time but never did! It all started to make sense shortly after pulling off and now I want one! So mont 4rt would be my choice
-
I hope stoner comes back to Ducati as wild card! Now that will make some interesting racing
-
I've narrowed my short list to the same 2 bikes. Would still really like a gasser but the company is too up in the air at the moment. This may sound stupid but I worry about the left sided kick start on the betas, I have never tried actually starting one but it is something that plays on my mind
-
Thanks guys. Fingers crossed whoever gets it can get GG back on track
-
I can only see the Spanish site, what is the bottom line of it then? Is it a definite take over or just more talks
-
If I was in the market for a brand new bike and one was being produced with cable disc brakes or drum brakes it would be instantly crossed off the list. Clutch maybe wouldn't be a deal breaker but would take hydraulic every time personally
-
-
Well done getting the first trial out of the way, I am yet to do mine although I have been riding trials a while now.
No harm in having a nice new bike, you sound like you appreciate it and don't have the attitude to match the typical spoilt kid stereotype (mainly found at the MX track, in my opinion). I'm also jealous you have your own practice ground! Some pics of your shiney new bike are always welcome too
-
It's a 94 model, made in July '94. It's 160cc and was the 30th model of that bike built that year.

Would assume it's a contact GT16. Google it and see if it looks the same
-
Fitted mine to a focus, BMW 1 series, BMW e46 3 series and shortly (this weekend) to be fitted to my latest 1 series. Also had the same rack fitted to my defender when I had it. Never had a problem although the Defender was the only one where I could honestly forget about the extra weight on the back while driving along.
-
The fact that it gradually got harder to start before stopping totally would make me want to check the stator. I assume you've checked for a spark the traditional way? Not a guarantee everything is fine but is a start. Also when you measure the redistance this is not always set in stone that the stator is not faulty if the readings are in spec
-
I have a 99 txt 200, I've had some pretty obscure parts for it and never really had trouble finding them. I've mainly used trials and tribulations, no particular reason, other than they used real pictures of the parts so I could match them up exactly. Try a google search their are lots of places that stock parts for your bike.
