  1. Arm pump. That's what the yanks call it. Dirt Bike and MXA have had articles on it. It may not be your case. They say in the following article it may be due to many causes including carpal tunnel syndrome, ganglion cysts, arthritis, neck abnormalities, tennis elbow and fractures. I had a similar condition when I was 16 but it went away with time. Here's the article:

  2. Tr80's whether 250's or 350's all had the same tank/seat design. I have a couple of yellows and an orange and they all have the same seat with a metal "hook" that fits in and under the tank held down at the rear with two bolts that thread into the frame.

    Here are a couple of pics.

  3. Check you get a spark. My 310's spark is hardly visible so don't do it in sunlight.

    But I suspect if you left the fuel on then your carb is probably bunged up with a sticky mess of dried fuel and oil residue. Open up the float bowl and have a look. Try giving it a clean if it's too bad then you can get all the parts from:

    They were very helpfull with me, excellent service.

    Best of luck.

  4. The correct yellow paint that Ossa used in its day for the Gripper TR80 was/is:

    Maxmeyer Alfaromeo 132

    I got mine from Autopaints in Brighton but the name had changed to:

    Maxmeyer Scuolabus 132

  5. I have been told that the TR80 gripper's orange colour is:

    RAL 2011 Tief Orange ("deep orange" in German I believe)

    Now you have to get the plastics to match. Best of luck. :)

  6. Thank you Woody. With this one I can't take the credit. It's a one off. But it is a deeper orange and the black is also deeper. The bike was one of the first 250's off the production line and its original colour may have been yellow. But its is a full blooded 250 and smooth on the throttle.

    Grib, the 4 leaf clovers are part of the casting.
