[Spanish rumours]

4 stroke?

[19 Sherco head stock issue, advice required]

Were the old bearings knackered after a year?

[Seized swing arm shaft. turn it or grease it please!!!!]

Same with beta evos. Can seize up in no time.

 

 

[Help needed 300st won’t start]

What spanky said.

everything is pointing at the floats & whether they are shutting off the fuel.

[GasGas identification]

I’d stay well clear of that, it’s nowhere near a 2005 model or a pro (which were introduced in 2002) which brings your own bike into question.

[2019 300 EVO; what to look for]

Even 80:1 using good quality synthetic oil my ‘19 evo puts out a lot of blue smoke as it seems to collect in the pipe if your not riding it hard.

[Aprilia Climber 300kms]

What year is it?

[New Montesa 301 RR announced - Oct 2019]

Someone “in the know” at the silsden world round (no idea who now!) told me the 2020 would be a proper new model, I dismissed it at the time of course but we’ll soon know I suppose.

[Newer bike]

Different bikes suit different people. Try as many as you can before deciding. Otherwise it can be a costly mistake.

[Compression test 290]

02 sherco you say?

Stator.

[Help me]

When you say it wont kick over, do you mean its seized, or it kicks over but wont start?

 

[Fat old guy with Scorpa 300 report]

Choosing a 300 to learn on probably isn’t the ideal scenario, but stick with it, riding in mud can be soul destroying when you are spinning & pushing and others appear to find plenty grip. Time on the bike will pay off eventually.

[Picking a new bike ..]

Good man, now get out there & practice, more time on the bike the better.

[Picking a new bike ..]

aevans692  You're overthinking it, you must buy the bike that's suits you the best, otherwise you'll be setting off on the wrong foot from the start.

You spent a day on a TRRS 250 & liked it, buy one. Sorted

[world round on tv ?]

The 26min highlight programme is on youtube , I watched it a couple of days ago.

 

[Advice on age of this bike please.]

Whats the frame number?

 

[TRS Ground Clearance Lower Than Others]

Get someone to video you on both bikes over the obstacle, its easy to see what you're doing wrong when you play it back yourself.

[Gas Gas VIN]

That looks like its been ground down & re-stamped??

[Is changing a piston and barrel easy?]

I would walk away, theres plenty of other bikes around that arn't knackered. If you've already bought it i hope you got it really cheap as you cant take someones word that its just the piston & rings. I'd expect to spend a few £££'s on the other things that would need doing also.

[NEW BIKE INFO PLEASE]

Do swingarm bearings at same time as linkage, they are very poorly sealed & suffer from water ingress & rust.

[exhaust sealant and hard to find neutral on Evo on first outing]

80:1 synthetic is more than enough, & is what most people seem to use. I have a ‘19 evo 300 & it’s a devil to find neutral.

[beta rev 3 is running badley]

Can you swap with another carb? At least you will know that's the problem if it runs ok.

[Gah. New ignition, new problems.. TXT300...]

I would be dropping it off at factory kev's, then picking it up when its fixed & go riding.

[1999 TXT 321 Running problems]

1k stator!!  Was it gold plated!!

glad it was an easy fix for you??
