Ah right. I wasn't 100% sure, just checking that you knew there was a possibility. I came across this post on here It shows the last time @bigmark1972 was online was 2017, so i doubt hes much help lol. May be worth contacting XIU https://www.xiu-rdi.eu

Is the clutch spring not the same as a gg?

I wear jitsie trousers and they are relatively loose. Not super tight anyway. The knee pads i have are these https://www.pocsports.com/products/vpd-air-legs probably on the minimal side regarding mtb knee pads but they fit no problem underneath. All depends whether you go down the tight fit route or the slacker fit. I know the tighter fitting mots trousers have knee pad inserts that fit into a pocket inside their trousers, https://www.motsracing.com/products/pants/step-5/ however an alternate looser fitting pair like these https://hebo.com/gb/inicio/669-4980-pantalonpants-trial-tech.html have no real knee protection and you need something underneath. The last hebo pair ive linked seem to be really popular at the moment for older guys who don't want skin tight trousers

Todays trials trousers seem to offer virtually no knee protection and rely on separate knee padding. Im the same as brucey and wear MTB knee pads underneath my trousers

The only differences between the 2 are the keihin vs dellorto carb, marzocchi vs tech front suspension and the sachs vs ohlins rear suspension.. Engine and frame are indentical performance wise, minus the keihin providing a little better carburettion. Up to you, but anyone but an expert rider will not notice the differences of the suspension.

A 20 year old 250 will probably have a much go as a new 200 back in the day, so i wouldn't worry too much lol

Youngest TC member??

Long end pointing back for off, down for on, and forward for reserve

It is 100% not 2017. The tank, forks and swingarm are definitely 2011. For that age id price it around 2k, but lately with covid, bikes are getting silly money

2011 i think

GG clutches have a tendency to swell over time, so if not in spec they are more than likely draggy. A clutch that slips would be an indicator of worn plates.

Although a relatively easy fix, check that the clutch doesn't excessively drag or slip. And if it has mag cases check they aren't cracked at the bottom engine mounting. Maybe a test ride and make sure it gets all the gears but don't be alarmed with a clunk between 4th and 5th. Also check the petrol tank isn't leaking where the tap is fitted. After that, just the usual stuff. From 2011 till now you won't find much difference between how they ride. The techs are a slight improvement over the marzocchis, not much, although the early tech gold coating wore very quickly and looks a little unsightly

The only factory beta riders are Grattarola and Bincaz. Neither have a remote reservoir on their shocks

pretty sure this is what greychapel meant. They would work with the hinged clamp

Is it a flanged style rim or are the nipples through the rim?

I used to use boiler insulation on my shercos. Worked great

Ever since they went to the plastic end cap the exhaust has been a PITA to pack since the split is halfway down the silencer. Personally i prefer the stuff that comes in the mat (i use stuff that is a looser mat than the oem stuff), but good post nonetheless 👍 ill have to try mine without the wrapped mesh next time

Just a heads up for anyone needing to modify their clutch pack. 9.75-9.85 is quoted so often i recently modded my 2018 clutch to around 9.80 then found this information the next day. which says that 9.8 would be beneath spec for the newest bikes. I didnt think the clutch changed so much over the years. Take what you want from it, but just a word of warning that the often quoted 9.8 may be going too far especially if you decide to sand down your fibres. Still don't know why they don't make 1.9, 1.8 1.7 mm thick plates

67:1 is a good starting point. Don't think anyone runs 50:1 these days. Any good decent 2T competition oil is sufficient, doesn't need to be Motorex

Same flywheel weights on both bikes?

I don't think you can blame the pandemic on a lack of news reporting. When the world champion breaks his leg and it isn't reported here, i think the OP has a valid point. Whatever the reason, id say 80% of the time i come here for the forums anyway, but it is nice to read the odd recent news article as well. Facebook is where its at unfortunately, easier access, but then its also easier to access some bloke wanting to advertise his second hand set of golf clubs on the groups FB page. There never seems to be a successful FB group page for trials that has functioned like a forum. Ive yet to find it anyway

Slow action throttle probably the easiest and cheapest. Check what's on it now, white throttle tube is fast, black is slow.

NGKs are useless once oiled

In the picture you attached it says 4T 09->13 so surely that means its not a simple bolt on to a 2020
