    I agree with Lineaway, my guess is it needs an adjustment of some kind. Maybe jetting or the mapping switch was flip to rain instead of sun?
  2. Based on my daughter and trials, it was about getting her on the bike(s) and getting the habit of going out often so yes mates is a good idea, if you can find some. As for length of time I found for my daughter it was two factors, interest level and energy level. If the interest level was up I would let her play tell she was tired, if interest wasn't up I would just do a short session to keep up the habit of doing it. On a side note I have heard that the jump to the larger bikes from the Osset's can take the fun out of it for some and being willing to switch to bicycle trials might help. Don't know this from personal experience but it might make a difference. Best of luck!
  3. I hope it's not gone, or at least they come out with an alternative. I am in need of a new set soon and would rather get a set of X11's than the Dunlops.
  4. My wife has larger calves than I do and her Gaerne seem ok as they ride a bit lower, I have lots of extra room in my alpinestars no-stop but not sure if they would accommodat huge ones... Good luck.
  5. I would be re-checking the carb, fuel lines, and tank fuel shut off. The last time I had an issue like this it was fuel not getting to the carb and pulled the carb to not find anything. Turned out to be the tanks shut off. One time before that it was plugged vent lines. Best of luck.
  6. My experience on this technique is that it seems to smooth out the power impulses of the engine as well as the slightest of throttle changes that can happen during a turn and improves traction when the bike is leaning over. At least that's my theory.
  7. When you take a hit like that it will compress the foam protective layer. Its designed to compress sacrificing its self to save your head. A second hit wouldn't provide the same amount of protection as it has already been compromised.
  8. I want, I want, I want... Ask the wife I am like a little kid that isn't getting what he wants... LOL Ok not really, but I am doing everything I can to figure out how to pull the money together for one... I have about 2/3 of it figured out but that last 1/3 is killing me.
  9. Wow really? I can't think of a better way to kill our sport than to communicate like this in the face of interested riders... Please consider the impact on others reading this thread before responding in this manner.
  10. Been doing trials now for about 3 years but just joined the site. Ride a 2007 4RT, my wife and daughter ride as well (a 08 TXT pro 125 and a Beta Rev 80). Looking forward to learning lots from the site.
  11. That is a nice looking bike. Was an interesting concept back in 2010 (Here is a link to the old thread but the images are gone... Same bike I am 100% sure on this... http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/topic/30459-montesa-berghem-r250-enduro-bike-oh-yes-please/) Found a video of the bike in all black.
