I've watched all the videos several times and really enjoyed them. Thanks so much and please keep up the good work.

There laying on their side's so only 2 feet at the most, having fun at it none the less. And im sure most would gasp at my form

Right there with you guys. I'm up to truck and tractor tires in the back yard.

Reliving my youth but am not as broke as I was then. Just got done with my 15 to 30 min work out on the Zero. I think half the workout is getting it started when cold. Good luck.

Thanks for the links it helps a bunch and answers most questions.

Noted on the Nutcracker I tinker with it more than ride it so far but thats the way I am. Ill inspect all these problem areas and repair as long as parts are available and somewhat reasonable. I have a TIG welder at home as well as a lathe and mill. Think Ill clean the entire exhaust next and repac the silincer. Going to try a hot soap strip tank at a chrome shop to clean it. It should clean it spotless and its safe for Alum. Anyone know if the water pump case is available if needed?

If it is corrorded inside the pump case and cylinder jacket there is probalby nothing that can be done about that is there? I assume the case is magniesium and once severe corrosion starts it's pretty hopeless? Atleast that's the way it is with aircraft parts, so I guess I need some schooling on this issue. Thanks for taking the time to help.

Thanks guys. The water pump cover is newer than the rest of the bike so hopeing it's ok as the coolant is nice and clean. Already pulled the skid plate and straighend it and welded up a couple spots. For right now the front brake is the only one giveing me issues as it looses prime once in a while but is above the min fill line and the rubber baffle is good. The front pads act like they had a fork seal leak on them as they wont lock the front wheel. Might hit em with some brake cleaner and see if that helps.

I just bought a purple Jordie Tarres Zero and have a few questions. I see there where several engine sizes in the zero's and see no markings on the cylinder like most Japanese would have but there is a 258A on the cylinder head so I'm hopeing it's the 260cc, does that sound right? The clutch was draggy and it's shifting was notchy so I drained and refilled with Dexron 3 ATF. The clutch work fine now as well as the gear box. I don't ride it hard as I'm starting over after a long break, so is the AFT ok for mild riding? Many Thanks.

Thanks. Put mine up.

Thanks guys. I just done a little work on the Zero (Change gear box oil and check brake fluids) now for a little puttin around.

This post gave me some insperation, I turn 50 in two months and bought my first trials bike also after a long break from Enduro/Motorcross type riding. I still ride my road bikes but the old ich is back and I was thinking the same thing as the OP.

Howdy folks. After many years of not riding dirt bikes I just had to give it a go again and decided on a Trials bike. I rode one like 35 years that was my brothers (RL250 Suzuki) I have had a multitude of injury’s and repairs but I guess I never have learned so I brought home a 94? BETA ZERO. The engine runs well and I rode it around the yard for about a half hour and have a few things that need fixed and will want to service it also. So will have some questions no doubt. Maybe the trials bike wont be as hard on me as the Enduro and Motorcross bikes were Im in North East Kansas.
