OK, I'm a complete Novice but have wanted to give trials a go since the days of Kickstart. Well I'm a bit older and greyer but here we are. I've got a Sherco 290 which I understand is probably too much bike for me, but it was a good price just to get me started and 125s seem a tad harder to get hold of! She's had an engine rebuild by the previous owner and a full overhaul on suspension (including all bearings) by an experienced mechanic so floats around quite merrily.
My problem, other lack of ability to ride very well, is that I can't start the darn thing. Not sure how to set the fuel tap etc, so can someone walk me through it please? My husband keeps telling me I'm slapping the kickstart but that doesn't mean anything either!! What am I doing wrong? Hope someone can get me past this frustrating point!!
