They knock under breaking when they need changing

Good video ?

Thanks Andy

Hmm. Not disagreeing but our sports problems are set out above. Majority of riders are actually veterans

Met him lots of times at various trials, always had time for a laugh about something. I'll miss seeing him. Sad.

Rode this event yesterday, not for the first time but a number of new sections were included. Just to say thanks to the West Leeds club and all involved including the observers. What a fantastic day out

How much ?that's ridiculous . I can't understand why they make cables too short. Surely the inner is cheaper than the outer? If you always had too much slack I could understand and it would be easier to fix.

Don't see the point in an Ohlins. Showa shock is as good if not better.

Copemech can you help ?

Not sure about that John. Think side pull throttles came in a bit earlier than that. I've had this problem with venhill cables a few times as far back as the 80s.

I'd suggest the opposite. Weigh the bike with an empty fuel tank, adjust minimum weight if necessary, then when a random test is carried out there is no fuel related excuse and no mechanic frantically filling the bike. In the paddock they use environmental mat so shouldn't be encouraged to fill up without one on the course ?

But you said that the coolant hasn't dropped? Takes a few changes to get it all out.

Happened to Billy Bolt a few years ago. The bike passed with a full tank of petrol. But when tested after the trial it was empty. Maybe the same happened to becky

You can work round it but lower gearing would increase engine braking and use of second gear ? That rpm on a two stroke without engine braking would be more of a problem hence the battery?

But is that why the tick over is 1800rpm?

Sorry I thought the future was a carb and points according to your previous posts ?

As much as I prefer no stop sections even I can't accept the rule change has made world trials better to watch. I think in part this is due to the sections and venues not really being set for no stop. Venues are picked for trucks and Internet access, sections are basically stop permitted style still. The other problem is that people just cannot observe it in real time. Either allow stop and reversing and re introduce the time element or have rules for sections such as distance between boulders for man made sections.Having riders traverse flat grass between a couple of rocks isn't what I had in mind for a no stop section.

Seen a few posts on the Braktec stuff being not up to scratch. Sadly every manufacturer uses it I think? So whilst it's not good its not really a gas gas only issue. Can't say that for the kickstart gear or clutch

Buying jets for a keihin? ?? Only kidding Steve

Anyone tried a csp sump guard ? Gas Gas standard guard is better than the sherco I had or the 4rt but I still manage to bend it.

Look at the topic entitled remove my kickstart in this forum

10 mins should do it

It shouldn't be MX loud. However the middle box is just an empty box. There's no baffle tube in there, it relys on circulation to create back pressure. The tail pipe I'd soak in neat petrol then take the bike for a long high rpm run

I usually have to kick the bike over with the lanyard off. Compression to push against helps

I'd agree with you but possibly because I'm not an engineer either ? The only time I have had to replace the spindle and bushes was on a bike I bought second hand. Other than that one instance the spindle and plastic bushes have lasted a couple of years. My 2009 did the ssdt twice so it's not causing premature wear in my experience. Is it designed to flex a little?
