How about if you cant spell colour its a five ? Just kidding. Rules have developed to try and fix other problems such as section severity and a handful of people being way too good for the rest of us. If you started with a clean sheet of paper i think the first thing to do is to set some proper criteria for sections

Ok needs a different thread as to why a mont has to tick over at 1850rpm then. Or are you saying it is for the fuel injection but not an issue for starting?

Idiot ? Its the season of goodwill you F***wit !?

?36 years and counting for me

KTM wont have 10/42 sprockets though and i think smaller sprockets wear faster as chain is pulled into smaller circle Used to run o ring chains at the ssdt on yamaha tyr s and tyz. Chain would last till Christmas after ssdt but would need a gearbox sprocket in that time. Downside is you lose power with an o ring.

Ah the season of goodwill

Yes shedracer it is good except the high tickover. Would building a small battery into the circuit mean a 4rt could run lower tickover speed ? Apart from the idle speed its difficult to fault from my experience.

Read the beta thread about the bikes idle speed dropping when pointed downhill. Absolutely ideal on a trials bike. Fuel leaking from bikes when dropped or leant against a bank while the rider walks the section is not ideal from an environmental point of view. My diesel van is on the same pump and injectors from new. Its done 87000 miles, it ticks over at 1000rpm unlike a 4rt and it doesn't flood if parked on a hill. Dont try and tell me efi cant be done for trials bikes, its just a matter of time

A good read for those who see no benefit in fuel injection.

Hang on have you actually paid for the bike ?

Ourian if we do away with the stop , dab stall = 5 why is this a problem from your point of view ? I dont see a logical reason to bring up the stalled engine rule other than an attempt to make the discussion more complex. We could have rules that require forward motion regardless of engine status or a rule that says a stall is always a five. I'd rather have the former.

Bend and width are slightly different, measurements were in renthal catalogue but not sure they are still made

Wonder how many hours my swm had done ? 1981 model still going

I didn't realise what i thought was the last of the 349s was called a 350 ? Silver frame proper plastic tank swinging arm swept up at rear, thats the model i thought this bike was. Also had improved kickstart.

I dont think they are trials boots

Tk pilot jets are strange. There is a bore hole but also 3 or 4 holes at the top. Its these 3 or 4 holes that increase in size with bigger number jets. I think more fuel is sucked through the bore hole as these holes increase in size. Definitely bigger number is richer on tk

If model 4 is the last of the 349s this looks right apart from the colours. Correct front pipe exhaust and tank.

I had 10 mins on one of the early ones, i thought it was mechanically very loud. Quite tricky to ride and the motor got incredibly hot. I stalled it and had to bump start it down a hill to get it going

This is going off thread again. Billy doesn't ride a vertigo so kindly leave him out of this discussion

Not the nine o clock news sketch....

It wont get hot enough on tickover you need to be riding the bike for a start. Take it up some hills or along a track. Listen to the engine if it starts pinking more then it's getting hot. You can use a longer breather hose on that model

Ps check coolant, you haven't mentioned the year of your bike ? Recent model shercos have the stat at the top of the rad so if coolant is really low it may not heat the stat enough

If you run the bike just at idle at this time of year the fan wont cut it and thats normal. When doing the ssdt i always did two mods related to this issue. 1 put a switch into the circuit to the stat so you can easily bypass it should it fail. 2 if the bike has a pressure cap fit a longer hose and route it so that if coolant leaks it will drop onto the front pipe and you will notice. Since watercooled bikes came in i have only ever had one stat fail, that was on a scorpa sy250.

Rode one on Sunday very nice

Its not pinking so i think timing is retarded. Being an old bike may not even be the right stator. Still think that there's something wrong with the air intake though
