baldilocks

I'm very concerned about HAM2, I cant see any undercrackers in that post of him in the bath with his bike. Dubious

last time round was on my copemech tuning sherco in 2007. drowned the bike monday and had to pump all the water out but after that it never missed a beat all week. I'm riding this year on the new Gas Gas check out your friends list on facebook

first year was quite an experience 1986. Ran out of fuel on the friday afternoon run from fersit to Kinlochleven. I caught up with fellow north east rider who had burnt a hole in his petrol tank. Tried to tow him using both of our bum bags but we were to knackered to manage on the flat never mind the hills. We calculated the other guy had to be in Fort william in 10 mins or he would be out of the trial so I left him to the back markers ! I did about another two mile and ran out myself, but I was right at the top of the hill and coasted all the way to the fuel check in Kinlochleven On the tuesday I had the carb off as the bike had stopped, I couldnt find anything wrong so I was refitting it when i noticed the fuel breather was twisted when I had refitted the petrol cap at the fuel check.... been lots of laughs since but i cant type that quickly

This is where Baldilocks needs some help. I dont mind drops i can jump off its the ones you have to ride down with the front wheel on the ground I hate and often come a cropper on. A few years ago I sailed over the bars at the Vic Brittain and the observer said I was the only person all day to do that ! so what are the basics so that I can work out what I do wrong ?

You have probably overfilled the system and water is not recommended as far as I know. drain the system, it takes about 5 minutes, and replace with a coolant suitable for Aluminium engines with a corrosion inhibitor

you have let the cat out of the bag now Justin all this my 4RT is great patter ? It will be for track days, the rest of us are riding our bikes off road

for

One end of the spindle screws into the other, leave the pinch bolts tight on the right side and undo the pinch bolts and spindle from the disc side. THen undo the pinch bolts on the right and tap the spindle through, you need a socket the size of the OD of the spindle to avoid damaging the threads

If you need a wider fit try the Rainers boots Birkett sells. I have wide feet and find these comfortable. I got a new set before the SSDT in 2007 and although I havent exactly ridden every week they have lasted very well, I'm thinking I'll get this years ssdt out of them. their not the most popular brand but I cant fault them

funny you say that, it leaps out of my hands a lot less since I removed the spark plug. 125 next for me I think

that looks a lot like a sherco engine from the left, wonder what the other side is like ?

just because I bought a new bike and you havent you have to go and post this well thanks a lot mate

I'd bet your house thats a shirt silencer, is it straight through ? it should be

The stand was on the left on the S model so this is either an early R with an S model swinging arm or an S model with the small tank and seat. good bike either way

Shirty did make some in aluminium, I had one, or it could be steel painted silver

If the M/cyl is leaking fluid where the adjuster attaches from the lever you will have to change the Seal, a seal kit is about

I rode an excellent trial a few years ago (2004) which started near Torver. I think it was run by Barrow club ? single lap, lots of Lakes 2 day sections and it was late January / early feb I think. anybody know if its on this year ? cheers

Good Point Dabster

I'm sure it is but please be patient, the club said hopefully week commencing 5th January and the club has lost one of its stalwart members recently

is this a recent issue ? ie since the cold weather started the carb on a Gas Gas is more susceptible to icing up

arent you forgetting Dabster ?

is the padding in the knees anygood with the Jitsie gear ? I like the hebo tech stuff as it has a better pad in the knee than other stuff

The games up for me after watching that I have successfully cartwheeled a beta rev 3 down a hill after trying to ride over a 3 foot log and my a*se goes at the bottom of trotters burn in the ssdt........... these people are either mental or I am utterly Sh*te on a motorcycle, I suspect its a bit of one and a lot of the other

The economic outlook isnt great but I think society suffers from the 24 hr news channels If you have 24 hr news programmed in then the news reader needs somthing to say. For this reason I think in recent years items have been over reported, the same message getting repeated day after day, hour after hour. When thats bad news on the economy then it reaches more people and affects consumer confidence to a greater degree which then makes more bad news ! ie people get the message on house prices or the limits on borrowing so spend less, this effects sales, the drop in sales gets reported etc etc Turn the news off and life isnt so bad Christmas was great but I wish it lasted a week as its hard to fit everybody in. next year I'll buy a 4rt and start it up then that should clear out the neighbourhood !

Whats up with the suspension cope ? it worked well enough for Fajardo on the Beta last year
