  1. Only one that comes to mind. You do know youve just described what 95% of us trials riders do on a weekly basis at the local club trial?
  2. Still looks like a 21 front 18 rear. Useless! Yes ,the frame and wheelbase look shorter but I dont believe theres a big gap in the market for a bike like this. Its the small wheel beta 80 that needs competition and and alternative to. Some kids go straight from the small wheel 80 straight to a 125, and those that go to the big wheel 80 spend less than a year on it before going to a 125.
  3. Oh and shortly after the live stream finishes they upload the complete stream so you can rewatch it on demand. In case for some reason you cant catch it live. Then you wont have to wait 6 months untill they upload it to their YT channel
  4. No problem, first xtrial of 2024 is February 4th i think. Also be careful if you see live footage advertised of some of the smaller european indoors on facebook, they can be scams. There was a link being shared on the offical chambery trial facebook page on saturday there and it looked everything like a scam page to me.
  5. xtrials youtube page is confusing, they make you think trials are happening when they arent. The xtrial events are the only ones that you can rely on being avaibable live. Smaller events like DL12 and last weeks chambery are hit and miss, usually they dont get live coverage. I watch xtrial on x-trial.tv. Its pay per view i think at £8 or theres a season pass for around £35. Their live coverage is pretty good, well worth it in my opinion, but last year they had a guy fill in for commentary at 1 or 2 rounds, and he was rather clueless regarding trials. The usual commentator is ok.The camera work is good though and they show everything from rider entrance to cermemony, over 2 hours of footage. If your watching the official youtube pages footage, youre watching the same footage, just condensed a little as i think they are around 45 minutes on their yt page The offical FIM page streamed some outdoor world rounds live last year. Their footage i find is below par, camera work, commentating, what riders they choose to show, all pretty amateur. But then again its outdoor, its a much harder task than live streaming inside a small stadium, and its better than nothing on a rainy day. Jitsie live stream some UK trials, the scott, some of the SSDT and i think they do an indoor event in germany or somewhere in europe. No big names at it. Their footage i would class as decent. IMO not worth paying for, but if youve already paid for it, worth chcecking out when its on Most x-trials start around 7-8pm cet time so thats around 1pm CT in america. PS im in the UK, but x-trial.tv i assume should be avaible to you in Canada.
  6. Andy used to keep the site up to date with current news. Been years since ive seen him post. As you say, theres lots of other places to get up to date news, but trialscentrals forum is unique in its own way
  7. Are you trolling? He was riding a gg an hour ago
  8. No, im talking about the bent flange, they have all come bent to a certain degree, probably because theyve been fitted with an impact gun at the factory. Ive lived with it, because ive only had to take a front pipe off once (and i did what you did, straighten it as best i could before refitting) . The others never leaked at this joint so never had a reason to touch it. Heres my 2022 untouched fron the factory. Sorry for the crappy pic. Ive no lights in my garage at the moment
  9. Every GG i had came like that from the factory. Your knocking does sound like lean mixture, but it also sounds like youre aware that it could be that
  10. Have a look here https://www.thehellteam.com/technical-support/gas-gas-parts-and-service-manuals in the parts list section. Usually they have the bearing number in the name of the piece Edit: i had a quick look, looks like hk2020 and 20-26-4 for the main swingarm, and 6206 c3 fort he main bearings. I would not buy cheap branded main bearings though, always use a reputable brand like skf or fag. For the bushes, you will either have to try and buy them or get them made.
  11. Shame, they looked 10 times better than the TRS does

    Fuel mixture

    Because its a 15 year old bike and youre calling it a trail bike id definietly suggest no less than 60:1
  13. I seen a guy step off an r1 to have a go on a trials bike in a car park and had near killed himself inside 10 yards

    Chassis Part ID

    Some people take them off to obtain more steering lock, and just put some heavy tape in its place. But i think your year of bike was prone to dinging the frame at that spot, so id advise to at least put something in its place

    Chassis Part ID

    It could be the same as that fitted from 09 onwards which is part no. BT170002809. Actually on closer look, your hole is offset, the later ones had the hole in the middle
  16. Im not an expert on these but i remember one person trying to find engine parts for one a few years back nd they were like hens teeth. Worth a punt i guess if it doesnt need work from the outset
  17. Id ask your engine builder to check the new pin is tight when refitting it. They were known to be on the loose side compared to the euro makes when they came new. Was it hard to press out? If birkett doesnt have any in stock he will definitely to be able to tell you whats compatible, some would say scorpa copied his bike 🤣
  18. This user here seems to be close 'ish' to you. He was last active 13 years ago, but it sounds like trials exists to some degree where you are
  19. Formula master cylinders only came on GG for one year and one year only, 2012. Worn leaky seals will never cause a clucth to slip though, drag yes
  20. Yes, there should be a lug on the left of the frame underneath the tank that it bolts too. It sits beside the radiator cap
  21. I think the ducati was up to around 04 and from 05 on was kokusan. If your rectifier is a leonelli then its the kokusan syste, so definitely magneto -> themostat -> recitifier -> fan
  22. AFAIK the ducati system had the rectifier first then the thermostat. The kokusan has the thermostat first then into the rectifier. What years your bike? Some rectifiers had the earth in the same plug as the fan, others were seperate. The white bullet plug goes to earth and the yellow goes to your thermostat
  23. That is not why brake fluid was developed. Its hygroscopic nature, while also a disadvantage is one of the main reasons for its use

    bigger tank

    yes, and you cant buy a sticker for them. Some fit the standard sticker but its not that great looking. If youre on fb its possibly worth contacting some expert gasgas riders or putting up a post. Now that the new model has changed tanks ive seen some riders sell their old ones from when they had them fitted at the scott and ssdt
