  1. Hello all again I'm after some advice. My B40 is running 13t gearbox sprocket and 60t rear but I feel I need a but more speed on the hills. What combination are people running for trials?

    Many thanks

    Yep, but I have figured out with experience and the years it takes a long time until the oil is warmed up and under cold weather conditions it is really thick which can make shifting harder.

    I now have changed to ELF HTX 740 to all my bikes, from  SWM TL NW, Montesa 242, Panda TC 220, Beta TR 34, Yamaha TY and the Bultaco Sherpa to use just that oil to clutch and  gearbox.

    OK thank you just not sure what oil to put in the gearbox on my sherpa

    Hi I am wanting to apply for v5 for my bsa b40, the frame has four numbers stamped on the headstock is that right ? Any help would be appreciated. 

    Evening NIN87 did you manage to get your V5? How hard was it and what did you need? I wouldn't mind trying to get one for mine.

    Many thanks

    Fur the clutch and primary drive:

    There can be used SAE 10 - 5 (older recommandations) from the mid seventies or SAE 30 (newer recommandations) from the beginning 80's,

    in pesonal experience ATF works too very good. (As thinner the oil as easier the clutch will slip).

    For the gear box where the transmission is situated SAE 75 - 95 works fine, Castrol EPX does the Job really well you can use either SAE 80 - 90 or even SAE 85 - 140

    Do you mean this castrol transmax axle??

    Many thanks

    The drain bolt is at the bottom of the down tube, below the outlet pipe. Lay under bike and it's in the middle of the tube, approx 10 mms bolt. I fill both of mine until you can just see oil in the top tube, then run the engine for a few minutes to get all the oil up and check again. I then fill until it's just under the return pipe, but don't worry if you go too high as it just comes out the breather. Cheers

     

     

     

    The above is for a genuine Foster Otter, not sure on the copies.

     

     

     

     

    Thank You so much Husky125 I'll give that a go as i can't find any information anywhere. How can you tell if its a genuine Foster Otter? 

    Many thanks

    Good afternoon b40rt i call Surrey Cycles and said about a new carb he said you want the Amal Premier Alloy Mk1 so would hope I have at that price. Also would anyone know what the thread of the carb studs are? as they seem too short and was going to replace then with slightly longer ones.

     

    Many 

    I have Managed to find a kit with the longer studs. Could anyone give me some advice on the best place to find some metal mudguard? My front is 4 inches and rears 5 and a half. Look everywhere on feked British bike bits...

    Did you get stay up floats and aluminium needle ?

    Float level is critical, you must get that right before anything else.

    When adjusting the air screw, it is incredibly sensitive so use caution.
