This is what I used as a guide. I got putoline 'something or other' 5w oil.

What two stroke mix are you using? And what 2t oil? Mix and quality of oil makes a big difference I find.

Getting more confident and attacking higher obstacles...

I can't recommend Stu highly enough... http://www.trials-school.co.uk

Hi, I'm interested in this, how much would the acu membership or day pass cost please? Thanks, Phil

Good video, as I've not done a club event yet it's interesting to see the type of thing I'm likely to encounter, huge range of talent too

That's next week Give me chance, I only got the bike at the end of January...

Me doing some log practice last weekend.

I found practicing basic trials at a quarry on my 450 ktm gave me so much more confidence on the trails, especially in deep mud, while the fast guys are starting, stopping and paddling through but going as fast as they can, I'd be going as smooth as possible without a dab, once you get confident in mud with balance, throttle and clutch control, you're on to a winner. I can jump logs, do drifting etc on my ktm, but once I get on the trials bike then, it feels like a bmx so the two bikes/disciplines compliment each other in my opinion.

That's pretty impressive and doing it while vertical too

If you take your own trials bike it's £100 for the day including lunch, if you use his bikes it's £150 plus an optional £25 damage waiver.

Myself and 5 others did a days training at Stu Days trials school yesterday, what a fantastic day it was. I only got a bike at the end of January so didn't have much experience, but the day started with the basics and by the end we all left with much more confidence and a real understanding of how things should be done not how we think it should. Stu is a brilliant instructor, his whole set up on his land is superb, you get a proper home cooked lunch, unlimited drinks etc, he even topped up our tanks at lunch time even though we had taken our own bikes, but the other big plus is the terrain, it's so varied and challenging. I ache today like a bitch and I've got a swollen little finger from an over the handlebars excursion but it was a small price to pay for a top experience I won't forget.

Awesome day chaps, really enjoyed it, ache like buggery now though

Either neoprene or the old fashioned bellows type (which used to work just fine)

I've had this happen twice since I bought it in January, the one ride it leaked on both legs so much in my van it left a puddle of oil (was strapped down with forks a bit compressed), bought a seal mate and it instantly stopped them leaking. It's since sorted the left one again, so I wiped it yesterday and all good again. I drained the forks a couple of weeks back and put new oil in, the forks felt ace afterwards. I'm thinking of fitting some fork gaitors or tubes, where I ride the bike gets covered in crap.

Bit of a late reply but I've only just joined, my 2007 sy250 does exactly the same when it's getting low on fuel.

Rather than start another thread, I'd like to insure my unregistered scorpa for fire and theft only, are there any specialists offering this service?

I think we'll all do it no probs, in for a penny,in for a pound and all that Look forward to meeting you Tony and petoris.

I want a go at this...

No problem mate, you're welcome. Our party aren't any better so we can laugh at each other

Stu replied and said to contact him via his mobile number, think you might squeeze on

I text Stu on your behalf not long ago mate

Think I need to get joining there

Everyone has been on about earl Shilton, does it get busy on the weekends? Is there enough obstacles and space for a few people to be there? I've been thinking about joining there as I've heard nothing but good reports about them.
