Robins jumbo has lost its spark, prototype electronic ignition may be tried out, if it works it's going on my TX370!

Yeah, we had a conversation about the TX, I was on the beta evo. Nice to have met you without realising! Are you going to the upcoming 2 day classic trial? 26/26th June?

Cumberland club trial at Brownrigg fell at the beginning of April, were you there?

Haha! Nothing has happened yet, although theres a customers jumbo coming in for attention, then it should be at the front of the queue!

I'm seeing more 315s appearing at trials recently, prices seem to be increasing too.

Where do you get tyres for a 15" gas gas ??

What does it turn like with the forks raked-out like that?

What engine is that??? Did he tell you it had been converted?

Why not get a gas gas one? make life simple.

Aren't MV already in WSB?

B40rt, usually the wheel rotates forward, you would have to be very unlucky to get your fingers in there whilst travelling backwards!

What twinshocktosser said. It's not a chain guide.

That's a great video, thanks for posting.

Stainless steel pretty unsuitable material for a bike frame no? Why do you want to do this?

A trail bike such as a TS185 would be a nightmare to ride trials on!! If you wanted light & nimble then a yam TY175 would be handy with one or two tweaks. Are you specifically looking for an older twinshock, like early/mid '70s?

Looks big/heavy & has 4 stroke motor. For that reason I'm out.

When I had an '05 sherco this used to be the same. The clutch would "hang on" for a second after you pulled the lever in, causing the bike to keep pushing on or stall. I tried various oils, cleaning up the plates, filing the basket smooth etc, None of this cured it though. Sold it & bought a beta. That clutch dragged but can be mostly fixed by using nano-trans.

Just to clarify, you think the throttle isn't very responsive but it's too quick? Can you expand a bit on this please?

Any new bike needs a bit of pre-emptive maintenance. An hour or two with the tools & grease/copperslip/Loctite can prevent major headaches later.

Hose. Hot soapy water. Brush.

There was no 350. That was just a cast part number.

Transmission whine.

Unless you have your suspension way too hard and you have decent tyres at the correct pressures, then its all about technique I'm afraid. Have you tried using different gears/revs/speeds on the same hill again & again to see what difference it makes?

change plug, check fuel flow, check tank cap vent, remove & clean carb & check float levels. If no improvement you must check stator, these are very unreliable especially on older shercos (and I know) you would be looking at about £180-£200 to get an exchange one from splat shop.

Looks like a '99.
