  1. Well... Went for another ride last saturday... 1st hour , nothing happened. Watching my throttle movement on the longer straights (especially roads). Everything went fine. Stopped over at a friends house , refueled. Only 500 meters later , it cut out again. Triad watching the throttle positioning. Couldn't get it stable , nor running longer then 2-3 minutes without it cutting out. And it's not like the piston is creeping , my rear wheel isn't blocking. I can tell from the casual exhaust "puff" that the engine is still turning. But the moment i give a little throttle , it totaly cuts out. Any sugestions what my next step should be?
  2. Ok thanks guy's! I'm gonna take this step by step. I'l try the throttle postion first. I can fully understand this theory Then the flaoting chambers. Then maybe enlarge the carb bowl. I'll keep this thread posted , is someone in the future should have thesame problem.
  3. The windbrake theory is minimal. Offcourse it does slow you down , but by a very small margin compared to their carbon brakes. It's about balance. -Help with balance when liding it in like supermoto riders. -"Tipping it in" , a bike travveling at +200Kph on full front load is VERY hard to get on a beginnning lean angle. -Widening your profile , so that little gap you let open to get that bit more cornerspeed is closed.
  4. Maybe a little old thread , but my comment will be usefull Like stated already , the kneedown is for balance/lean angle purposes. Once you have this technique you can "feel" how deep you are , thus knowing how mutch grip you have and traction you can apply. Modern time MotoGp riders even use elbows in some corners , not for the puprpose above , just because they can't go anywhere else. On a sidenote... Not allot of people know this , but i have seen and studied telemetry data of a MotoGp rider. You should know how mutch these guy's slide in a corner. I'll try and explain it here. -Approaching a corner : They slam the front brake for 100% , and the rear brake for 60% (aprox.). -Turning in : Now here it starts , they back the rearwheel in like MX-riders do. Not on such a great level , but at this point the rearwheel has only 85% of the front wheel speed. -Pointing towards Apex: Now the apply a hint of throttle , to transfer weight to the back so it doesn't "overslide". Rear brake is completly loose. Front brake is slowly being released to the point the front starts to slide. -Hitting apex First the front brake is slowly tapped to shift weight to the front end , so this doesn't slide out of control. At this pojnt the rider starts to think about throttle position. Rear brake = open Front Brake is slowly being released after slowly compressing the front in previous point. -After apex : Throttle is opened , wieight shifts to the back. 250Bhp is going towards the rearwheel , starting to slide. In some double corners the front brake is applied again to gain weight to the front tyre before hitting the mayor brakepoint. And they do this at lean angles of +62 degrees , traveling at the fastest speeds and loads the tyres can take. Offcourse electronics are a big deal nowadays , but kneedowns , draging legs , dropping elbows is just an evolution. Don't underestimate what these guy's do... Source : Been racing in the IDM superbike chamionship for over 3 years , been racing 6 years prior to that. Now i'm a data specialist in a racing team.
  5. The tap filter? Is that a filter on the fuel line? There isn't one , i filter my fuel before mixing.
  6. Hi fellow users , i'm having a problem with my TXT. I'll try and scetch what happens. When i go and play on my nearby mountainbike paths (aprox an hour or 1.5 hour length) , my bike cuts out. Just no fire... Sometimes 2-3 minutes after refueling , sometimes from the moment i leave (filled gastank 5 minutes prior to that).. And ONLY when i'm on the public roads , riding at 60KPH constant throttle, the moment i let go of the trottle... Never when i'm riding in the woods. It feels like i'm out of gasoline , but sometimes 2-3 minutes after refueling. Things i've tried/done : -Changed the tank's tube on top (to prevent / fix a blockage , so there is no vacuum) -Changed the sparkplug -Changed sparkplug holder -Changed Sparkplug wire -Changed Piston -Cleaned the killswitch on the stearing wheel -Cleaned the killswitch on the radiator hose Anyone that can help me with this?
  7. Hi! I'm Hans Jacobs, 28 from Belgium. I'm very new to the trial scene. Just bought my first trials bike after having a go on one a few months ago. I have enough experience on motorcycles (been circuit racing for years). I raced in the german superbike championship for 3 years, used enduro for training,... Worked on bikes my entire life. So mainly i'm here for tips & tricks. I can wheelie, drive over obstacles (40-60 Cm max), have fun with it :-) But, as every newbie it seems , i have severe balancing problems . I only have my bike for 3 weeks now, and i think it will get better with training :-) I'm looking forward to share stories/experiences on this board :-)
