  1. Just bought a electronic ignition for one of my bikes and a kill switch from in motion 

    2 wires on the kill switch black with white stripe. And black with yellow stripe. Should it be black yellow earthed to frame ?

  2. Got my model 158 started today
    first time in a number of years.

    i was putting a kill switch on and putting the earth wire to the frame 

    there are 3 colours on the frame 

    but the bottom colour was dark blue. I think that was original.

    as it was a bugger to get to shiny metal. The bike was 1st registered in 1976. Would be nice if someone new the answer.

    Hi Greg -

    Congratulations on your new bike!  You're gonna love it - regardless of its displacement!  My first Bul (which I bought in the early 1990s when my vintage madness began) was a m80 250 which I later sold to a buddy who was also interested in giving vintage trials a try.  I moved over to an Ossa MAR (a rescue from another friend's garage) which I did enjoy but not as much as my former Bul.  So I then went back to a Bul (199a) which I do like and regularly enjoy but, for the sections I typically encounter, a 250 is more than capable and the m80 is truly a sweet ride - a good performer and aesthetically gorgeous, in my opinion.  I missed my first Sherpa T so much that I picked up another m80 a year ago and am hoping to have her up and running in the next few months.

    So no regrets with your purchase!  She's a beauty when all dolled up (well... polished and painted, that is) and will give you all the performance you need.  And you couldn't have come across a better resource than trialscentral to help you get the most out of your new ride.  A lot of very knowledgeable and clever folks here with some extremely insightful tips and tricks to offer as well as the encouragement and inspiration to get your project proudly rolling.

    Please post some pics whenever time permits and let us know how she's progressing.  Looking forward to seeing her soon!

    Cheers -

    Greg.
