I can't really advise having never owned nor ridden a pre 06 gg, but at the time I remember people saying it made a noticeable difference when the light spring came in 06. There's also the chance someone has fitted the later spring to your 05. As for modifying or replacing the plates I wouldn't be in a rush to do that if the clutch is functioning ok

Ive had both, rebought the older design when they went with formula in 2012 ish, never noticed much difference. Its lies in the toolbox as a spare

Are you 100% sure it's 06? The reason im saying that up to 05 they had a heavier belleville spring but in 06 they came with a lighter spring. A dragging clutch may hint at too thick of a clutch pack which also makes the clutch heavier. Personally i wouldn't waste my time playing about with master cylinders, they all use the same size piston and the differences are negligible

The txt came in 1999 so it would help to know what year your bike is, if its the earlier <02 type clutch or the later txt pro >02 diaphragm clutch

I think its just been proved its not totally stock 😂

Id say possibly the alpinstars followed by the sidi. Absolutely NOT gaerne!

Dont have a beta but ive kick started a lot of maicos and they are on the left. My technique for them is to stand on the left, lean the bike towards you slightly and with opposite steering lock. You may find once you get the hang of how the bike starts you can kick it with your left.

Did exactly the same on my mid 2000s shercos. I know guys who cut it completely in half down the seam, repacked it and then took it to a local engineering shop who welded it back together.

Seems legit 🤣

Disagree. Not everyone is wanting to go win their local trial, and I guarantee if I put the Kenda on I would still beat 90% of the riders using michelins. FYI, I haven't even tried one yet, but I know just by looking at it, its a decent tire

No I totally agree. My problem is it's more and more common for small club trials with expected entrants <50 now requiring pre entries. To me that goes against the ease of access trials is renowned for. Or maybe im living in the past

Portable toilets and parking spaces. We are obviously talking about completely different level of trials events. Haven't seen a portaloo at a club trial in my country in 30 years 🤣

Totally disagree with this. Club trials should not warrant pre entry, especially pre payment. Then clubs wonder why entries are down, some people aren't prepared to commit on a Monday whether they are free on Saturday, so just go practicing instead. Clubs should be making it easier for people to enter, not harder

Sorry, im no help. Now I know what's inside that front triangle section anyway. I know you can buy a more conventionally shaped aftermarket front pipe from s3 or the likes for the beta, that I guess doesn't have the baffle

What bike is it?
