Fim Minimum Bike Weight Increase 2014? What?
Actually look at some pics from last couple of years. Raga has been running weights there for a while. Dougie has a steel insert inside the wheel spindle to make the front heavier. They seem to get the bike as light as possible then change the handling by adding weight

Chain Maintenance Preference
Monteberg I have just ordered 5 litres of Stihl biodegradable chain lube for my clubs two day trial. In the uk most trials include rivers. The product mentioned isnt classed as a water pollutant unlike most of the products mentioned in this thread. I did write to two motorcycle oil companies on this issue. One didnt think there was a market for this product the other never replied. Now I have found chainsaw oil im just as pleased. Competitors will be turning up with a dry chain and we will apply lube at the start. In uk conditions most chain lube is gone in 30 mins of the trial starting.

Mechanical issues at Beta in his last few years cost him the Scott and the Scottish. Might have been a factor

Jitsie Sprockets Rip Off?
Back to the sprocket. Making the sprocket stronger just means you break the hub instead of bending the sprocket ?

Fim Minimum Bike Weight Increase 2014? What?
Im responding to Dabsters question about Fuji winning day 1. First four riders lost less than 12 marks. This is unusual and increases the chance of a different winner. Great ride by Fuji. Generally regardless of the rules a winner other than Bou is more likely in an easier trial. Gubian has explained he broke his bike on lap 1 and then had to ask for fives elsewhere. Don't know what happened to Brown.

No I think that's due to sections being on the easy side.

How steep was the drop into the stream ? The bike tipping forward normally causes engine to flood / run rich but if the float is defective ? Heat also does funny things ie expansion. I have seen one kehin carb poorly cast which actually leaked air when hot. Inlet gasket ?

Keihin runs better either fourth needle notch from top or with the washer supplied by splatshop under the needle clip and the clip in the third notch. Some also find 48 pilot jet is better than 45 std. Also sounds like your bike needs a clean out, may just be residual oil in the exhaust burning on a climb. If its crank seal you should notice oil level dropping week to week.

Replica Gas Gas Brake Pipe Damaging Fork Leg
Dont route the hose through the mudguard brace but zip tie it the front of the brace. Also fit a cable guide from a sherco, splatshop sell them for a couple of £s, and fit to the number plate.

Replacing Fork Seals ?
Iknow how to hold the fork but the nut on the right side cap spins inside the cap. It will lock if you keep turning but I wondered I would break something internal ? The cap is drilled around the circumference I wondered if there was a tool to fit into the holes ?

Jitsie Sprockets Rip Off?
I know of three in all happened when the rider fell off and just became entangled in the bike. Things happen so fast when a bike goes out of control.

Gas Gas Txt Pro 250Cc 2009
Probably gasket if not the breather as suggested. Clutch gasket is very thin but you can now get a re usable one from splatshop which is a better job.
