[2018 280 RR]

Hi.sorry, i did mean the head spacer, its a 1mm spacer that i have fitted. I did have the low compression head insert  fitted to start with but was advised that the 1mm head spacer was better and that it was inadvisable to fit both the head spacer and the low compression head at the same time. I have read another thread on here that seems to imply that someone has both fitted at the same time.

[2018 280 RR]

Hi

can a low compression head insert and the thicker head gasket be fitted together. I was advised aginst it

 

Thanks

[Beta Rev 4T, cant select gears]

It was the weld had broken. Now welded up and refitted. Many thanks for your help

[Beta Rev 4T, cant select gears]

Had a problem with the gears on my Beta Rev 4t 2008 today.  The gear change shaft just rotates up and down but nothing appears to be attached to it.  .( it definitely isnt the lever just going around on the shaft)  

Fearing the worst on this one.

Does anyone have any ideas

Many thanks

 

 

 

 

 

 

[TRS 280 RR 2018 freshen up]

Hi

a few questions

1 - i am trying my freshen up my 2018 280rr. i am thinking of getting the frame powder coated and fitting some new decals. Would a set of 2020 decals fit (ie, is the frame the same for a 2018 and a 2020).

2 -  has anyone used Amped decals as they are less than half the price of TRS ones.

3 - i have fitted the low compression head insert but didn't notice much difference, can i also fit a thicker head gasket or is it one or the other 

4 - i want to change fork oil.  I am 100kgs and already have the heaviest spring. Any suggestions on what grade fork oil to use and how much.

 

many thanks for your help

[2020 gas gas txt250 Clutch fluid leaking]

Hi

 

My nearly new TRS did exactly the same and it turned out to be the banjo fitting was leaking where the pipe goes into the Gearbox casing. New Dowty seal cured it.It was very difficult to see with mud and water etc about.

[280RR low compression head insert]

apologies, i wasn't very clear - there is some info on dropping a tooth on the front sprocket to tame them a bit but im unsure how that would be different from riding in a gear lower

[280RR low compression head insert]

i now realise that you can also get a thicker head gasket / spacer. can you fit this as well as the low compression head insert or is it one or the other ?

 

Also, i generally ride everything in 2nd or 3rd gear. What would i gain by going one tooth down on the front sprocket that i couldnt achieve by just riding in 1st or 2nd ?

 

thanks very much

[280RR low compression head insert]

Hi

 

Fitted a low compression head insert to my 2018  280 RR to hopefully soften it a bit.  are there any carb adjustments or anything else that i should do when changing to this low comp insert.

 

Also, has anyone found a suitable replacement for the awful radiator filler plugs that round off so easily,

 

Many thanks

[detonation above half throttle]

i have just realised that the texaco supreme unleaded i use is only 97 RON whereas TRS specify a minimum of 98 RON. I will get some shell v power 99 RON  and try that at the weekend.

 

I will report back

 

thanks

[detonation above half throttle]

my 2018 280 rr detonates above approx 1/2 throttle. needle clip is on mid position but i'm wondering whether this is more main jet, i have a 125 main jet at present. does anyone have any suggestions as to which main jet i may be best to go to or any other ideas

[no clutch]

hi

 

my 2018 trs 280 has no clutch. there is only a little fluid in the master cylinder. I assume the seals must have gone in the slave cylinder.  Is this an easy job or could it be something else ?

 

many thanks

[rev 4t friction plate thickness]

hi

 

could anyone tell me the minimum thickness for the clutch friction plates on a 2008 rev 4t. mine are 3mm but i cant find any information.

i have done the clutch mod which although i have a much smoother action, it has not cured the sticking and it has a tendency for clutch slip.

are any brands of oil particularly helpful ?

any more help greatly appreciated

many thanks
