Ok. Figured out you have to actually grab the pin by the threads to turn. That worked. Thanks

Hi everyone. Quick question. I have a 2003 txt 280 pro and want to lower the rear brake pedal slightly. If I loosen the nut it seams I have to rotate the entire bottom assembly to raise it which would involve disconnecting it. On every other bike I have had its usually a second nut to adjust up or down. What am I missing? Thanks

I had this problem with my last bike. Tried several solutions but the only thing that worked for me was to take off the pads and cut a cross from corner to corner each way with a hack saw. Not All the way through pads but just enough to mark the pads well. Did not notice any reduction in brake power or feel. Good luck. It sure can be annoying.

I used Uship.com. They bid on transporting your bike. You will get some high bids at first but if you give a big date window you will get some cheap prices. You can accept or decline. Mine cost $120

Craigslist.com. Is a good site to sell everything. You might try moto-trials.com also. There are regional trials clubs in most parts of the country. Good luck.

I agree with everything you said. Thanks for sharing!

That may be next.

Great. Thanks!

I read somewhere that Gasgas models 2010 and newer already have a two piece head. Does that mean I can just buy a low compression insert without buying an S3 head? Does GasGas make a factory option or is it just aftermarket? Will an S3 low comprehension insert work with my factory head? Thanks.

Thanks. Some good ideas. I did try the kitchen one time for something to clean my filter in. Lets just say I won't make that mistake again. LOL

The fill point on my Txt 280 is so small I make a big mess with the ATF Anyone know where I can get a funnel small enough? What methods or tricks do you use to make it easier to fill? Thanks

Bought a Sherco 2.9 last fall. First time on a trials bike and loved it. Did not feel it was too much. If you find a good deal on one I'd say go for it. Assuming you have experience on enduro bikes. BTW the 2.9 is actually a 272cc

As far as hand position it's nothing technical. Just make sure you don't over rotate your hand like you want to rip the throttle wide open. While standing on bike with knees slightly bent grab the throttle straight out with a natural extension of your arm. And as others have said, cover the clutch with your finger and practice those drills for clutch control

Make sure you have a little bit of free play in your throttle that does not affect the engine RPMs. Also hand position and bar position are important as well. Postition your hand so that if you yank on the bars it does not rotate the throttle or rev the engine.

I disagree about the commentators being over the top. If any of the top riders would have come from 7th to finish second in as few of laps it would have been the story of the race. Rossi looked like the Rossi of old. It's great for the sport to see him back at a competitive level. I just hope he has something for Lorenzo.
