IMO stickers applied wet never stick quite as well, so its a trade off, well stuck but a little wonky, or straight but may start to peel off a little sooner. If i was forced to do a wet appication id only use water, no soap. They dont slide around as easy, but they are still moveable. Its the soap that causes adhesion problems. If you want to use soap, a drop, literally Id stay away from window cleaner, a lot now contain additives like silicone to decrease the streaks. As feetupfun say, thats probably why the cheaper brands are better, but i dont know if its worth the risk

I have a feeling youre trolling The OP suggested the club should provide a first aid kit, IMO reasonable The OP suggested that if a first aid trained person is in attendance they should make themselves known, IMO reasonable You're interpolating way too much

Did you actually read the OP? A first aid kit is £10 and cuts and burns at trials while rare are very much possible. Not once did the OP even hint at an ambulance. Sure as you say, phoning 999 is a lot easier than having a first aid kit in someones boot. Step up if needed yes, but if someone was to collapse at a section how would you know who the first aid or medically trained person is?!!!

The moment an electric bike cleans a section that a combustion engine bike cant. Possibly sooner rather than later Torrot buying gasgas is a sign of the times.

Anyone remember gasgas's one finger salute to honda when being forced to develop a 4 stroke? Briggs and stratton would have been proud

Then we will have to agree to disagree Its a lot easier to expand on an idea than to be the originator. I doubt even CZ were the first

No, CZ had two separate ignitions that fired at different times, i.e. independently. Yes, the honda has the ability to vary the timing between the two sparks, but hardly cutting edge when as i said CZ were doing this in the 60s

The only thing id be worried about is your knee catching the stickers and them slowly starting to peel off, but i have a tank done similar to your with no lacquer and the stickers have been good for the last 10 years

Come on, twin spark is as old as the hills!!!! CZ were doing that in the 60s PS, if it is indeed lead, lead is rather hard to fashion into a respectable shape. I think it looks rather well

Cabestany used to run the ajp caliper on his sherco too. I really thought i noticed an improvement with the braktec caliper, but i suppose it could have been a better disc. From what i can remember the ajps had a rather large pad surface area. Could be the reason

Unless its dirt cheap i wouldnt be considering it. They werent a great bike when there were spares, even less of a bike now

Videos like these i find such a waste of time. I know they dont want to give too much of the game away, but come on, telling us that they change the suspension settings is borderline insulting!!! The honda video aka (the footrests and exhaust are made of titanium video) was just as bad.

Scotch brite (grey) and water works great for me, although some may be aghast at such a suggestion. I should probably add that this works with my titanium 2T exhaust, the hotter 4T exhaust may cause it to burn on extra hard

I imagine beta blockers (pun not intended) would be one of the most beneficial drugs for trials, because they really improve your fine motor skills (pun not intended). Golfers used them extensively before they were banned to remain calm, and i think golf and trials share a few similarities regarding mindset. Ive always wondered about mechanical doping, especially regards to weight limits, does anyone know if the bikes are only weighed at scrutineering?

Exactly what im looking for thanks!!! A fair bit cheaper than what im currently paying. Thanks for the link

Got a few bikes that run points ignition, and im fed up paying over the odds for variable quality condensers. Anyone using modern ceramic or polyester capacitors instead, do they work, and if so care to divulge what size you're using, or tried? And yes, i do know solid state ignition systems exist.

You have to remember too that in this class the 2 strokes are limited to 250, so the 4rt has more advantage in this class than in GP (or less of a disadvantage whatever way you look at it)

Is re-chroming your own out of the question?

I dont think so. I think we may be seeing the side effects of a reduction in practice following his back injury, surely he cant have been doing as much as he usually does in the build up to a season, and its too coincidental to be anything else. Nonetheless, its better for the sport not to have a dominant winner all the time.

I hope you put a bet on that for sunday! Eerily good foresight

Kickstart engaging/jamming while the engine running?

Me neither!!

Fair enough, although not to use google as at least your first port of call these days is a bit ignorant

Well at least i knew what the bike was! You however seemed to be more interested in trying to tell the original poster he didnt know what year the bike was, when in fact he was right and then attempted at some stupid reason for it being green. "Honest thread", yes, but only if we disregard your silly posts After some digging around apparantly they used the green on some 74s, 172s and the enduro 75/125

Then why say it was 1972 when the 172 didnt come till 75?
