Thanks for replies gents !! Picked up a 240 very good condition , a few little jobs to do but nothing major , rides nice !! Also a ‘340’ non runner , but generally all there , ive the option to buy when i get it going if i like it !

thanks guys !! am i right in assuming then that the 240 and 200 are smaller chassis than the 300 ? so as metise says the best option is a 240 chassis with a 300 ( 250 cc ) engine .
a friend has a reed valve water cooled (converted to air cooled) engine in a 300 chassis , it seems rather big to me (chassis wise) seems to ride ok round the garden but hasn't been tried in anger
considering buying a fantic , but what to choose ? will be mostly ridden by my son (not a bad rider) and occasionally me a reasonable novice ( older ! ) , would 200 be underpowered , 240 a bit snappy power , 300 too much power ? been told the reed valve 250 is a nice engine ? thoughts and opinions would be gratefully accepted ????
it dosent say that its full (that i can see ) but there's no option to download an entry form so guess it must be ! food for thought next year then on both those 2 trials , the oct one must be the better of the 2 if they got that amount of entries by june !
thanks for thee reply nigel , was planning on doing it but don't think we can now as the time off work and childcare cant be sorted , maybe next year , plenty of time to research it etc .
hello mr metise , tried messaging you but not allowed ? was wondering if you could help me with some french event info , we have done the french four day a couple of years running and would like to do some more multiday events in france , could you recommend some ? or point us to where we can find out ? we have to travel from sheffield so one days arnt really an option , our rider level is good novice n beginner
i try to look at the classifieds section and all i get is two 'featured' bikes ? the correct page flash's up but disappears , does this happen to anyone else ?
I rode a 300 rr and thought that was a bit too quick for me. I ended up with a 250 gold as that was the only 250 available in NZ. It's quick too! I'm comparing to an 05 GG pro though not a standard TRS One so can't comment on that comparison.
I just cleaned the air filter for the first time and struggled with re fitting too (and I thought the GG was tricky). Some recommend sliding it down into place but that seems like it might risk dis lodging the foam from the cage and it is impossible to see if it is all sitting correctly.
initially changing the filter seems fiddly but after a bit of practice it just slides in and out with no bother
good afternoon, anyone done the corsica , andora trials ? contemplating these next year , how hard would they be ? ( for a good nov n beg grade ) worth the trip for two days ? any info gratefully received
Run ours at 100:1 fully synthetic putoline and is fine , stripped down the linkages to grease them and shouldn't have really bothered as plenty of grease there.
having done our first road trial( me and the son) , the hip well (man 17 mcc) last month , were looking to do more as we enjoyed it so much and the severity was just about right on the easy course for us , can you good fellows recommend any more trials in the north derbyshire/yorkshire region please ?
is there a way of bringing the bite point further out from the lever ? if you screw the adjuster on the lever right in the feel is harder and the clutch slips under 5th gear load on the road
clutch pack height is 9.75 bang on . this isn't for a gas gas but a trs , same set up as gg/oss/jtg
jetting is fine , i think ! , she runs ok . plug colour is right. rode yesterday and more often than not she started on one kick as opposed to previous rides needing 3 kicks or more , so it maybe a case of more riding =easier starting !!
