at the end of the day everyone who has a gasgas will say get a gasgas everyone who has a sherco will say get a sherco ... go to appleyards or a dealer or whoever bvm would be a good bet have a dabble on a gasser and a sherco then have a look on ebay or whatever. even if you end up not 100% liking the bike you buy you can always just sell it for the same money and get a different one.

any one want to chip to? ... i've got

may i ask why there is only one fit bird in it? lol

i don't think that urban trials will 'take off' because if you ride your bike on the street you will get it took off you...and not get it back!

i would say full gloss, although i think there powder coated which gives a shiny painted effect anyways i think.

oreet bladi iv had a reet good think about it, maybe the pads like sink if you like slightly into the grooves on the disc, so maybe the cut outs do act like an edge. It's just i can't relly see how metal could do this, although i suppose with all the pressure from the brake maybe it does. i've just had another thought, what about mybe if the pistons in the brake are offset slightly, so that the front of the pad hits the disc first slightly, so that they dig into the grooves if you like although this would make the pads wear unevenly. hmmmm i'm not too sure now lol !

well according to you he isn't you are saying that the discs with the holes in keep the discs cooler, keep the pads clean and are lighter. All these points are correct fair enough, although what baldi is saying, is that becuase the discs have holes, the pads grip to the disc more, which is actually not true, the discs are completely flat, put them on a surface plate and you will see, scoring the discs will help the brakes because you are causing more friction, although this will wear your pads down more quickly. So really scoring the discs and putting holes in them will do the same thing, although in different ways. Disc with holes will stay cooler and the pads will stay cleaner, scored discs will bite more because they will will create more friction with the pads. In theory a disc with no holes should perform better because there is more surface area for the pads to grip to, although with heat and water etc. drilled discs are better.

i would only go for the montesa at the moment, it seems to be the most advanced bike of all of the four strokes and it also seems all the creases in it have been ironed out, or bide your time and wait until all of the manufacuters have their bikes up to scratch aswell (Y)

my findings are, the discs are pefectly flat, unless the pads, move into the grooves, which iof you think about it can't really happen because they are usually the same height as the disc or there abouts, you can feel the edges because your fingers sing into the grooves.

get renthal chain and sprockets, renthal r1 chain is about

what? you do realise that the discs are flat and there is no edge for them to bite on?

hahahahahahahahahahaha what a comment to make when you ride a raga rep ahahaha, well spotted that munch hahahahaha

you could probs get an 1998 montesa for

A baseball bat is premeditated. Whereas a full glass lemonade bottle at the side of your bed, in case you get thirsty during the night, isn't. what about an 8inch kitchen knife that's in my kitchen, on the way to my garage? lol

just go on www.tartybikes.co.uk , they have all the geom's and specs for all the dengs, ie. zoo gu etc.

definatly, they cool as hell to me, post a topic up on here after you've had them a month or so, i mite buy some if there worth it. (Y)

In an aluminium case you will not need to drill out the stripped hole, should tap out directly as the helicoil tap is not much larger than the root diameter of the old thread. If you clean up the drain plug and check it will screw into the helicoil before it is fitted you have the right size. However the cost of the helicoil kit, including tap and insert tool will be dearer than getting somebody to do it for you provided they have that size available. Good luck i would suggest drilling it the correct size, if not you will end up with some dodgy thread, it will only take what a minute to do, also you can buy the tap and helicoil and tool all seperate you don't need to buy an expensive tool, also if you were taking it to some one you have to either strip the engine so that you could just give them the casing or take the whole bike in. ps. my typing is awesome haha

my dad has some gripper 2's, they seemed to soften up quite quickly to be honest, bvm told me that they are probably made in the same factory as diadora stone pro 2's they are that similar, just dif badjes. chris

my mate had some raptor footpegs, he snapped one of them, although raptor replaced it free of charge so they sound fairly good to me although they are a bit pricey. The jitsie ones look fairly good.

you can get some hebo eco boots from sandifords in burnley, i looked at the boots although i ened up buying the better boots, because for like

ahhhh cheers, i may even phone gasgas myself tomorow. cheers (Y)

it's good to hear that the big names like dougie are trying to get venues re-opened, but i agree with atom ant. I think we are probably being like tarred with the same brush here, they see the motorbikes and automatically think they are loud because of the reputation motocross bikes have for being loud.

a helicoil would work but you have to drill out the hole and tap it a size bigger first ehich could be a bit dodjy.

how much was a new clutch basket atom?

i've found the vids, and i'l try and pull the spring round about 300. cheers pal ... oh it's a pro btw
