EBC are ok but they are not peak performance which you seem to be after. An example of someone who does it below but you coould find someone who does it for forklifts or the like locally to you. https://villiersservices.co.uk/product/brake-shoe-re-lining-service/

It takes some time for pads to bed in and have full contact with the drum. You might want to go down the path of having pads of a suitable friction material applied to the brake shoe so you can match the diameter of your drum.

Get it rewound by a place that does small coils.

Send a self addressed envelope to Vertigo?

@lemurIf the rims are anything like most TLR's i've seen the outside looks ok but the inside has become a sacrificial anode and just flakes away.

What happens if you give the throttle a big blip when it starts revving up? Could also be starved of fuel if there is not an air leak as Lemur has suggested.

If you can't get ELF HTX740 then GRO TRANS EXTREM 75W is the go for the transmission oil from my experience, never had an issue with either.

When you pull the clutch lever in I assume you can feel the mechanism trying to activate the clutch? Also I assume you have tried riding it in a high gear with the clutch pulled in while accelerating?

On my gasgas enduro bike I went to the shop and bought a cheap ring spanner and ground the outside down until it fit. Scientific torque spec I used was almost as tight as I could do it by hand and then give the the spanner a couple of light hits with a hammer.

Trials bikes are normally fairly difficult to change into neutral, I normally just turn my bike off then put it into neutral. On the odd occasion you can knock it into neutral with it running but its certainly not really easy.

GasGas had the same forks at the time, so you could look at them also.

From memory the suspension was the same between the trials and the explorer variant. Marzocchi forks and Ohlins rear shock.

I would start by lining it up with the other bearings in the case. it may be a shim that was added to get the correct end float on a shaft.

TY, DT, GT MX80's all have very similar parts, so if you can find a wreckers etc they might have parts for one or all.
