Probably reflects the state of the championship in that they can't afford to lose a rider. Does this mean he doesn't qualify for indoor series ? This has clearly been known about for time but if they had concluded matters sooner GG would have not had anyone on the podium. Fajardo is a fantastic rider but with GG uncertain in terms of the WTC where does he go next year ?

But does this mean any income he earned from those results now has yo be returned ?

B40rt who supplied the rotax springs ? On my tx300 , after a month of eating protein bars and going to the gym I can just about pull the clutch with one hand!

In Motion are now selling complete SWM Kickstarts

Good point, the advantage is in having a metal impeller as opposed to the plastic standard one which can strip

What year is your bike ? Latest GG are s3, same as TRS and Sherco / Scorpa. Before that they have used various brands I think

Can't you take it back to the dealer ?

The problem with it , just from my point of view isn't the riders or the minders, it's the people putting the flags in. WTC supposedly went no stop but the sections haven't ? Taking minders out should lead to less dangerous sections but I can't see that happening either. Those who inspect the sections need to start doing their job so that the section severity is compatible with the rules.

Cylinder head is different as the TRS has a bleed valve in the cylinder head. I think piston may fit ?

If it's the pin home on the underside of the water pump that means the seal has failed. The idea is you notice it weeping before it does too much damage. Drain the oil as soon as you can as the clutch plates may react with the coolant then you will need a new set

Time is part of the equation in all national level events, it's obvious in the Scott trial but is also important in the SSDT for example. I don't mind , its a different skill and occasionally allows some different riders to get some publicity.

I've been putting 100% car antifreeze into trials bikes since I got my first watercooled bike and never had a problem ?

I'm on My second 280, the 19 is noticeably quicker than the 17 was. I've just richened the carb by raising the needle half a notch with a washer. The 17 280 was perfect for me. Below quarter throttle the 19 grips really well and pulls third without difficulty on standard gearing. However it is quick above 1/4 throttle. Rode a friends 250 one with a dellorto carb recently, very good and more than enough for 99% of us.

You just need to remove the clutch inspection cover not the full clutch case so the water pump stays in place. I think the seals are just o rings, easy to fit, be careful not to drop the washer and thrust bearing that are on the underside of the case and sit on the slave cylinder. Remember it's mineral oil not dot4 You can see all of the parts if you look at the parts diagram on TRS UK site

That's the same sprocket reference I have , we have the answer ?

Try scorpa sy 250 sprocket. It fits but had a fraction more slack on the spline, however it was a used sprocket I tried. I haven't ridden with it on yet

Yes I'm going and providing Accomodation for a saga holidays group as well...?

It's a European trials thread and we are discussing trials in Northumberland but I'm interested ?. I think it might have been ridsdale perhaps ? Not the best course just rocky outcrop, quite a short lap. Monkridge farm near otterburn isn't far away but that's east of a68 and was a cracking trial but only four laps. It was run by Bedlington clubs land and their schoolboy series used to be two trials per day morning then separate course in the afternoon. Happy days

Fuji stalling the bike should also be a five. Lots of stops in all the videos for all the riders which are longer than the stop raga was fived for. There's not a non stop section in the entire event. Corners taped to right angles so they all hop into the corners. Watch the qualifying section, raga jumps from a rock to a log in a straight line, virtually every other rider hops off the side , hops/ stops again then goes over the log. Raga gets a time advantage but as he is virtually last through the observer probably hasn't realised that bit could be ridden no stop , every other rider could have been fived. The observer however, prior to Raga s attempt is probably thinking it can only be done the other way ? It's so subjective, it's so easy to criticise but difficult to do any better. I've said this before , the FIM need rules to govern the setting out of sections.

Good Points Senor Dabster, see above

Across Europe environmental issues are an increasing barrier to the sport.

Is Pickering not east yorks ? It's not ne centre

That will have been the Little Bear time and observation trial. Can't think of any other six lap trials in north east unless you mean north east Scotland?

That would be an enormous step forward for the sport. Trials has been described as how much cheating you can get away with. Sad really. To be fair to riders it's down to the observer to do the scoring, this isn't Bous fault at all. However every Sunday at every trial someone kicks a rock while their mate talks to the observer, someone moves a flag , someone goes way beyond the reasonable limits of the section effectively challenging the observer to five them.

TreGiorni Valtellina ( 3 day international trial starting in Bormio, Italian Alps) is sadly no longer run. I rode it twice , 8 hour days up to 3000m at times. Undoubtedly the best location in the world for the between section going. Most of the tracks took a bit of effort, not far off easy course in the north east of England. When we went back the second time we all agreed it was as much for the ride round, also driving through the alps to get there was stunning. It only had 20 sections a day, 4 of those were on the rocks outside the local sports centre. Some sections were really good but others were just on piles of rocks leftover from building works or road construction. Strange mix of people riding too, probably 40/50 doing the sections and the rest were just mountain course, they didn't do the sections. It was a huge effort by a very small group of people to run the event. More sections would have been better but I noticed the same people observing a couple of sections each day. In the end it was too much effort for the number of riders I think. The lack of Italians riding surprised me so maybe it just needed better / more sections.
