Luckily mine was a not that tight. Id suggest a little heat. Heat expands

You shouldnt have to disconnect the pedal. Once you loosen the lock nut the the threaded pin that goes into the master cylinder should rotate into the pedal, a pair of pointy pliers is needed to do this. Maybe its ceased in the threads of the pedal. PS to lower the pedal you will want to lower this pin, not raise it.

Would DEFINITELY!! recommend trying some on if you can before you buy! The fitting with jitsie can be a little unusual with tight forearms

I know you are maybe looking a direct phone number but i see jitsie or offroad action are now stocking tech forks in their catalogue http://issuu.com/offroadaction/docs/ora-catalog-update-201505-issuu/1

Long overdue

GOing to disagree with the above posts. I would not put ATF anywhere near a motorbike gearbox, even less a gasgas. Your clutch might like it, but i can assure you your gears and main bearings will not! Id use light gear oil of any brand, followed by a car engine oil. For me id use options 2 or 3 and ATF as a last resort. Your limiting factor will be your clutch, if you put the 75W motyl in and your clutch still clears, go for it

That year of bike should be fine, anything pre 09 id stay away from. 09-10-11-12 are for the large part identical. The main thing to check would be the clutch, does it clear properly with no drag? Can you get all the gears, even up to 5th and 6th? Theres a selector that can bend. Check the wear in the suspension dog bones (specific to all makes bar your scorpa) if you can, by unloading the rear wheel. Anything greater than 10mm play these will probably need replacing ~70quid. Check the tail pipe isnt worn through from the rear tyre. If its a raga (magnesium casings) and maybe even check on the standard model that the bottom engine casing mount isnt broken. Check for any cracks in the frame. Most of these are unlikely but as they say forewarned is forearmed.

I couldn't DISAGREE more with everything in this post if it was possible. The original poster was hypothesising the return to that level of trials, not a return to those exact bikes. If you are blaming a points ignition system (the simplest of igntion systems!!) for an ill running bike, then it is anything but a well fettled bike. You also seem to lack the understanding that when the overall difficulty of a trial drops, the riders scores will concertina. Why do you struggle to understand this?

They did hold a world round in fort william a few years back, but for some reason they now prefer to hold the world round at terrible place full of man made sections. Worst world round in the championship in my opinion

I largely agree with the original post. 15 riders at a world championship is not good, i dont think anyone can dispute that!! Less riders is bad, for basically everything, and less riders usually makes it easier for one person to dominate. You just have to look at F1. The level has become too dangerous, not too difficult, too dangerous, and when a world round comes to your country and no people are capable of riding it, thats not good!! In the 70s and 80s you could have had close to 100 people competing the same line with the winner on a reasonable 50 and the lower down riders dropping lots of marks but not getting killed. I think the level has to come down, you can still make a trial difficult without 30ft drops everywhere, and i think the only realistic way is through tyres. Back to 4 ply i say.

Id be surprised if they could make it, fork tubes are rather thin walled, and what grade of steel will they be using? Why do you think they would last longer?? Both are chromed are they not? Philpotts rechrome a set for 120 or 150, cant remember which, getting a company to make a one of pair cant be cheap, that include threading and/or circlip grooves... However, to answer your question, you can make the the tubes longer, but this will not increase the movement of the fork remember, just give you longer forks...

What i want to know is what happened to dougies 5?!!

Up to the early 60s. Was called marks gained rather than marks lost.

No, cant say i have, though i am always conscious about over tightening. They are pretty cheap though. I remember the old amal throttle bodies made in alloy (the dominos are basically a plastic copy) and they were brilliant, you could really tighten them.

No, before that trials used to be marked in reverse. You started with a high score and got 10 for a clean, 0 for a failure and you subtracted your marks from the total, and whoever had the least at the end of the day would win.

I think an 06 and 08 will fit. An 05 im not so sure, because its the older frame.

Kuroyama's was a 4t yam scorpa. Nozaki's was a scorpa twenty painted blue. Why it had yam written on it i dont know.

Perfectly normal

Im 6'2 and recently bought a set of jitsie (jacky brown to be specific) and they fit me pretty well, probably better than any previous gear ive owned. The shirt (M) is a little weird fitting, tight sleeves loose chest, but the trousers (34) are pretty spot on. Others have said they find the jitsie fitting kind of weird, maybe its suited to the taller rider, i dont know.

2 hours of solid riding, no. 2 hours consisting of 45 minutes riding then yes.

Personally i wouldn't trust a 2 stroke bike that hasn't oil in the exhaust or smokes. Currently running 50:1 on a 2015 300 and wouldn't entertain anything below 60:1. Ditto

Sorry for maybe being stupid, but what exactly is wrong with this? Are you ultra paranoid of having a clean bike and uber environmentally friendly? These must be the worst reasons EVER!!! for doubting the amount of oil you use in your fuel.

Oh dear, i wish you luck. I recommend 'prestige electro-plating' in the uk for any future work you need done

Id never expect anything as simple as a few small pieces to be more expensive that rechroming fork legs, which require machining post plating. 345 isnt far off the price ive been quoted for complete frames being plated! PS Have you tried prestige electro-plating 01709 577004 ? Id guess that 50 quid should be more than adequate

I would avoid using it, you'll be putting unnecessary strain on the big end and conrod Its impossible for it to be anything else other than the crankshaft turning in the opposite direction.
