4rt, better than any 2 stroke for green lane work and raking about. And you have the option to turn it into a free ride. Bit more expensive, but im sure theres plenty about beneath 2k

It depends what type of rider you are. If you just ride hills and generally arsing around the 300 will be fine, but if you ride trials or anything tight, the 300 may be a handful for you. I ride a 300, but im an expert rider. I sold one 300 on to a clubman and he did struggle with it. In my club even semi experts ride 250s. Im not gonna sway you one way or another, ive seen clubmen also like 300s, just to try your best to get a ride on one before you buy. Kind of hard in the current situation though, but even test riding a non GP will give you an idea Regarding reliability, i agree with collyolly. And remember every make has a weakness, montesa it's weight, beta its electronics, GG the clutch (most work great, some drag a little (something to test if you get a test ride) but are an easy enough fix by changing plate thicknesses). My test for a GG clutch is have it in neutral and let it tick over, pull the clutch in with one finger to your knuckles as you would be riding, not right into the bars, and nick it into second. The revs will drop a little but they shouldn't drop too much and the bike shouldn't start creeping forward. If it does it may need a bit of work with the plates if you're the fussy type. Most riders who aren't on the clutch all the time won't even notice this. When set up perfect they have a very light and nice clutch Other than that i cant say a single bad thing about GG, they aren't particularly weak in any other department., and IMO they have the best running engine and nicest power delivery hands down. Only person i know on here with a new GP is @heffergm, maybe he can comment on his ohlins?

Originally i thought it looked like the bart gear. As for the idler, you won't know until you rebuild it. A slightly damaged tooth on the idler gear can create a very annoying rumble/ticking when the bikes running and turns against the clutch basket.

For years ohlins were the mutts nuts. Lately reiger have been the go to shock, having recently entered the trials market. I honestly don't know, i haven't tried one of the new bikes with the ohlins. AFAIK the ohlins retails at a lower price but that doesn't necessarily mean they went to it solely for cheaper components

yes

On the above link it says theres also a weight for 125s from 2015 onwards. Trial enduro direct is John Shirt, the UK importer for GG, may be worth a phone call

Ive seen a few frames crack on 2014, 2015 models, but haven't seen anything like that after torrot took them over.

It used to be the txt with the dellorto carb and sach rear shock was the base model, and the racing/raga was the tricker bike with the keihin and reiger or olhins. Then they did away with the standard txt and the racing became the base model and gp was the tricker of the two. Don't quote me but in those years the main difference would be, racing- reiger 2way rear shock, gp-reiger 3 way (extra damping knob). GP- carbon airbox. GP- carbon reeds, and the gp has a double spark ignition system. IMO, not worth the price difference when they were new, and have always been happy with my racings. If you want you can buy the reeds for 50 quid and add them yourself. Never found the 2 way shock lacking, the carbon airbox is just bling and probably the bulk of the price difference, and ive actually seen the gp hidria ignition systems give more bother than the racings (ive had 4 racings with no ignition problems). I forget which year the gp started coming with the adjustable pressure plate on the clutch, 2018 maybe, but i think the racing got it as standard the following year, 2019. Would need to check this. Second hand, similar condition, id maybe pay 2 or 3 hundred extra if i preferred the look of the gp (personally i prefer the red frames), but thats about it. Performance wise virtually identical, just depends if you want the carbon airbox and the less common colour scheme

I don't mind pre paying, yes its an inconvenience, but we all have to do our own bit in this pandemic and if our role as competitors is to prepay online then thats no problem. I imagine the organisers have it harder, but i can also understand how it could be an inconvenience to some. It is annoying how overboard the clubs are going (maybe thats only right) and then you walk into a shop and see total disregard to any form of distancing or hygiene.

The club i have most often competed with in the past have resumed events, but say that they are only accepting entries from club members. This year im not a club member of said club (mostly because of covid), im a member of no club, and because they aren't accepting any more members in 2020, i cant compete for another 5 months (maybe this will change in the near future). Ive noticed a lot of clubs throughout the UK are taking this stance, for reasons ranging from 'limited to numbers' and 'we want to support riders who have supported us pre covid'... Im a little vexed by this, and feel its a little discriminatory (and i am not the usual person who feels discriminated over the smallest of things). Are new people/people who don't join clubs in january just screwed? BT wouldn't take this stance, new customers always get the best deals! Seriously though, i didn't think numbers were restricted that much, and if its such a big deal why not accept pre entries from current members first and then fill remaining entry slots with non members up to the number they feel the venue can accommodate. Is this an ACU/AMCA ruling/advice, or just a clubs easy/discriminating way to keep numbers low? Any other thoughts or is it just me up here on this horse? Im happy people are getting back out, just annoyed it won't be me anytime soon ?

Want to join me in my transition? :p

He posted in a aircooled monoshocks page and underneath his profile pic it clearly states he has a yamaha ty250. Doesnt take sherlock to work out what hes after. Hes new, cut the guy some slack

Id say good luck, most likely a TE or molex connector, but trying to find the specific one can be hard. Measuring the spade terminal width and possibly spade pitch could help in narrowing down your search. Email spal and ask them. Have you looked closely for brand markings?

The kind of terrain i ride in, i cant believe someone would ever request that from a boot. ?

i vaguely remember arguing something in the past, but cant even remember what side i was arguing. Wouldnt want to start contradicting myself ?

Wanting to paint my front ajp caliper black to make it look like an original grimeca. Given that i always spill brake fluid when bleeding should i worry about the type of paint i use? Rattle can do ok, or should i use 2k? Im thinking high temp matt black may give the most realistic satin look, but worried it will just rub off when i spill brake fluid over it

Theres not that many types of monoshock yamaha ty250s. All of which we can get from his post and his bike. Great way to help a newcomer to the forums

If you think a honda is soft, you're going to be disappointed with a sherco trs or a beta

Or gasgas. Or possibly the most reliable bike of them all, a honda

More or less ?. If one brand was noticeably more reliable than the other, then everyone would be riding it

Totally agree with both posts. I don't see the need for one at the moment but at some point in the future i imagine there will have to be one and am interested where people would think the classification would lie. Too small a range of years and you won't get the entry and too large range of years and you won't want people on their kroos riding against 2010 bikes. I was thinking pre pro model which was a big step up, so pre 2001 or maybe pre 2005 to exclude the 4rts as it would be rather easy (in the future anyways) to disguise a 2020 as a 2005.

Has there or is there anything currently regarding an EVO class in trials? Comparing to MX, EVO is anything pre 90ish, and superEVO pre 97ish. EVO i guess would be covered by what we call air cooled mono, but once bikes went water cooled theres nothing really to separate out another class. With 90% of people competing in modern trials on a sub 10 year old bike thats 20 something years of bikes kind of without a class, every bit as large as TS and larger than ACM and pre65. Will there ever be a requirement for another "classic" grade, or does trials just not require as many grades as MX? When/if that time comes, what do you think will be the cutoff, since theres been no big characteristic change in bike design since 90. 2010? or pre GG pro maybe?

Ive never seen reproduction guards for these bikes. Would be interested myself in some. For some reason the stress marks really show in the type of plastic they used
