Thanks for all the replies - Alan - 10t is standard so i have got one availible to put back on - the reason i currently run 11/42 and thinking 10/38 [same?] is i found i never used 1st in sections and now so used to just clicking down dont want to change.Luckily i picked up the chain was fouling the clutch slave be fore any damage.Thanks
Hi, i run 11/42 sprockets on my 05 290 which suits me fine,i took the flywheel cover off to clean out, and found the chain had put a nice little groove in the clutch slave cylinder! I think i can remember 1 tooth front = 4 teeth on the back? So to stick with my current gearing i should run 10/38?As anybody tried this?. I have a Renthal chain fitted so possibly thicker side plates? Thanks
Hi, I run a 11 tooth front - the reason being i found 1st too low, if you had a bit of nadgery stuff then a climb out say - would run out of steam and i prefer not to change up if poss,so geared it up and got a bit more legs without losing out on the slow stuff.Sprockets only about a tenner so experiment away
Hi,same old story - new tyre - air leaking through spokes I do,nt want to take tyre off again so was considering trying some liquid tyre sealant, what are the pros + cons?Does it mess up the rim when you come to turn the tyre? Thanks
Hi I wrote to Yamaha UK Sopwith drive Brooklands Weybridge Surrey KT12 OUZ ,with details of model + frame No and they wrote back with year of manufacture - at no cost either!
Hi,about to change the fork seals on my TY175,what weight oil is best - manual says 126cc 10 - 20 - 30w?I am 13st ,also any tips on stopping the damper rod turning while dismantling.Thanks
On going over the bike today,i noticed a couple of loose spokes -tried tightening them up but the whole spoke was turning,not just the nipple,any tips on holding the spoke without chewing up the crome?Cheers
Hi,i did read somewhere on here that Garas had a magnesium casing that eventually was eaten through and almost impossible to repair,hope that is not the case with you.
Hi,try looking this topic in the sherco forum,it was definitely posted and discussed earlier this year.I think the outcome was a new stator if my memory serves
Hi, been using belray gearsaver in my 05 290 from new,and everybody who has had a go on it says what a lovely smooth clutch it has.I am sure Bel-ray oil was designed for motorcycles in mind.
update on Barry's bike.... the flywheel weight is off, fast action throttle tube fitted.... and we have a couple of sets of V-force reed kits on the way to us.
... with that lot i reckon he should be able to get some real height on his crash photos soon
Now then, rocks in Wales time for us both this weekend, lets see what both of us can break!!
Bloody Hell Heath, how much did you pay for your chrystal ball? How's about 6 numbers for Saturday's Lottery? Cheers, Dale.
Just a quick thanks for a great trial today,although i ride a modern mono,i find the sections perfect for my level [average]. I know some do,nt like moderns riding a classic trial,but hey would it be viable without them?Cheers
Just done what was suggested,plus heated up the pads with blowlamp and they caught light so must of been contaminated with something flammable .Anyway it worked a treat -Now how do you do a stoppie?
As anybody tried 10/38 gearing?
Now all i need is 6 numbers on Saterday
