That doesn't answer the original posters question......

Come on, lets see googles answer then. All you're talking about is the servo effect and the multi leading shoes, thats not the discussion

The guy has an SWM, his anchor arm is fixed. You're also arguing something completely different, the benefits of twin leading shoes

Talking ****? I know what the effect is! Looks like you didn't before you had to go to google. Thats the whole idea for twin leading shoes, for which im not arguing!!! Did you read my post? The OP wanted to know the effect the direction of the brake cam has on the leading shoe, and i was explaining the difference! The leading shoe will always be the leading shoe, but changing the direction the cam rotates on the leading shoe effects the force that it applies to the hub. Im starting to think this is all over your head.

Turning the arm forward generates LESS! force, because theres less leverage on the leading shoe... You're talking about 5% here btw, but it is less The argument is that a forward arm makes the leading shoe touch first because a forward arms makes the leading shoe move further (hence the less force), which is the case on a new set of shoes, but on a brake that has been bedded in, both shoes will touch at the same time, meaning its impossible to make the leading shoe touch first

Talent is important. Lots of riders better than him and younger and they are being supported. At 18 if he was talented he wouldn't have been in the 125 class

Think he's talking p****. The hub doesn't know which shoe is touching it, and if your complete assembly is working correctly, both shoes should touch at the same time

Haha, i had a post that kinda called most trials riders stingy, compared to other motorcyclists. I deleted it thinking i was going to get some abuse lol. Yes the tyres are expensive, but when you factor in everything else; fuel, the lack of a need for spares or upgrades, relatively cheap protective clothing, and most club riders go a full season on a tyre no probs, trials still works out overwhelmingly cheaper than any other motorsport.

Don't really know how to take that. Not many sports compete all year round like trials, but with 7 outdoor rounds and 8 indoor thats only 15 weekends a year of events, not that much. Seems weird Raga, fuji, cabes, jeroni have been able to compete every event while older, and probably getting a harder time of it compared to Bou. I guess you cant compare people injuries and bodies at similar ages. Maybe Bou's doing it right and the others have been burning themselves out. Would be even more surprised if he doesnt make an appearance just before the outdoor season starts

I doubt you will find a manual for your exact year. Follow https://gasgas.com/en/manuals?c=trial&y=2002 for a 2002 manual. Should be the same and will have the oil quantities that you want. Your model is a TXT, not a TXT pro, a TXT.

Probably dirt in your carb since its a keihin, causing it to run weak

The last time i heard them mentioned in 2014, they had merged with GG who subsequently folded. Maybe try calling KTM and asking ?

Twin plugs but with one lead? Thats either what pschrauber says, a decompressor hole plugged with a plug, or so whenever you oil the plug, you can swap your plug lead to the other plug. And because the second plug was at a distance from the ignition point, it will not have oiled.

Thats because all the best riders are Spanish ?

Heavy Kgs

Been washing bikes with TFR for the last 15 years. Nothing cleans like it, BUT! be careful with your dilution, and especially on bare aluminium such as barrels, silencers, radiators as it does stain if left on too long at too high a concentration (nothing a polish won't correct but id rather not have to). I seen a guy ruin a whole beta rev3 frame due to it. I usually spray tyres and plastics first, engine last, then rinse engine off first, so it doesn't get longer than a minute or so on aluminium parts. And never put it on neat, i usually mix around 10-1 Sometimes i use a snow foam with a brush if im doing something classic with lots of bare alloy. Not quite as good, but safer

"Leadmines" is run as a shop from a farm (don't let that put you off) but definitely worth a call as can be tricky to find

Leadmines motorcycles in newtownards (25 minute drive) definitely the widest range of trials helmets, easiness for trying on, and run by a helpful guy. Would recommend contacting before going as doesn't keep strict 9-5 hours, but open a few late nights After that theres norman watts or russells motorcycles, both close to carryduff, again a 20 minute drive. Mainly MX shops, but may have a few trials helmet available (been years since i was in them). As for actually in belfast, afraid not.

A similar thing happened to sandifords

Depends on your definition of fanny

Its "shot"

If this is bare aluminium you are talking about and its really bad, a wire wheel and a drill. Ive had staining before on barrels (particularly gasgas ones) which i rub with some scotch brite whenever im cleaning. TFR works great, but it also does a good job at staining aluminium too, if left on too long at too high a concentration! Id advise against If the parts are painted, you shouldn't be having any problems with a simple cleaner

Not clued up on beta electronics but most likely your lights are fed with AC, and the regulator/rectifier generates DC for your fan

Hes talking about a vertigo, not a beta

We need to know what year your bike is so we know what kind of rim you have
