  1. Bigger tank alternatives for a Pampera?

    in Gas Gas

    Posted · Edited by turbofurball

    Does anyone know of any tanks that might fit in a Pampera that are bigger than stock? (6L)

    There used to be a desert tank available for them, but they're long out of production :rolleyes:

    Just thought I'd check before faffing around with auxiliary tanks etc

    The 350 Trials is a real lightweight at just over 138 Kilos.......picking that up on a bad day would be sport enough for two or even three !

    If I can pick up my tall 120Kg XR on my own, then I'm sure a low 138Kg would be alright (on the sort of terrain you can actually tackle on that bike!)

  6. Trials Carrier - Covers

    Mmm, if you live near any nearby cal-de-sacs or dead ends, drive down one of those, turn around, and wait for just a minute before going home.  That way you can see if anybodies following.

    Obfuscation is the best protection - if they don't know where it is, they can't steal it.  Other measures are just to slow them down.

    One last thing - if you put a cover on the bike, just remember that it's going to have much greater wind resistance at speed, so strap it down accordingly!

    Mmm, the "pausing" really doesn't appear to make all that much difference from regular trials ... love the high-speed qualifying bit though :)

    Mr. Warner's accent really grates for me, which is a shame as it was otherwise a great video

    That's definitely a bitza, it's also got the 300 swingarm plus other 300 stuff like exhaust, airbox etc but housed in the 240 frame. I don't get it. The 300 frame is strong and doesn't have under engine frame rails, so what is the love affair with the 240 frame?

    It's lighter?  Also, well done for winning the prize for not reading the post you're quoting ;)

    Nothing wrong with some friendly debate about this sort of thing, better than sitting on your hands!

    If it's a problem, mark sections out for heavy bikes and give light bikes a handicap ... people would get over it.

    From my point of view, I'm just not physically capable of handling a heavy bike, otherwise I'd be saving up for a Sherpa 'cause they look lush :) (and the left-foot rear brake and kickstart would be fantastic)

  20. which bike should I get

    If you're in the UK you'll be restricted to a 125 until you're 16 IIRC (which is plenty of power anyway), a good used Gasgas or Sherco is probably the best way to go as parts and maintenance are easy for them.

    Trials is very different from motocross or trail riding, so be prepared for a steep learning curve!

  21. Flat tight turns on loose dirt

    What !

     

    Maybe my understanding was wrong! I thought for loose terrain you would weight the inside peg, lean the bike in, and lean your body out so that you can achieve the same turn radius with less handlebar turn, thus avoiding pushing the front along the ground and washing out.

     

    Does that help?
