Got any pics from the bottom Andy?

I've been thinking about this. I reckon your best bet is to download what videos you can find of various centres around the world and compare. But remember the camera can lie.

Hehehehehe..

I got it! We all got it Tim, stop showing off Betchya Wonder-boy didn't (sometimes I wonder if he thinks at all ).

I got it!

Yup. In a nutshell. Sup wins the "Brevity" award. Not sure about the allen bolt. Could be the grub screw.

Reckon so. I remember Nick Jefferies early RTL 306 (not 360) getting so hot it took the coating off the barrel in the IOM 2 day. That being said it's probably more neccessary in hotter climates. Ish, what say you?

Just been there. Yup if the head bearings are loose the front does make a clunking noise, as you'd expect it to. I kept doing up the capstan nut which kept loosening. Then I found out why. Fix. Try not to take-off the triple clamp, it can be a cow to get back on without damaging the nut that secures the triple clamp. Do up the capstan nut (underneath the triple clamp) until nice and snug. Then (not forgetting to loosen the grub screw and Cap bolts on the triple clamp) tighten the top nut over the triple clamp until TIGHT but not too tight 'cause it's aluminium and will strip easily. So the top nut acts as a locknut for the capstan nut (and the legbone's connected to the thighbone... ). Some of the 'nuts' I've referred to are pretty odd but you'll figure them out as you see them.

'K, you could try "Classic trials" in Barcelona, they might be able to help. Alternatively, if the worst comes to the worst, scrounge an airbox off a gripper owner and give to a fibre-glass expert to copy. Shouldn't be too difficult.

Perhaps you'd better put your 'handle' on the bashplate!

jrsunt: is that the TC trial or Luanda you're talking about ? TFT

Hey John, any short observations on Luanda? I hear it's quite a dump.

Biggest crash?

I kinda half understand it. I'd love to own said Cota and if I did I'd drag it out once or twice a year 'cause I'd be scared to rub the polish off it. But on the other hand I agree that bikes are to be ridden.

One can gather from this (as one does) that Andy's still reformed.

If I had the money I'd buy it: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=2460778227

Yup same problem. Do it up f%^&kin tight and whack it. Don't really know why I increased the pre-load 'cause I still ride like a tosser.

Ahh, at last I can be helpful!! Use a oil filter removing device. You know those things that use a strap to lock onto the oil filter so you can undo it? Stupid design though (thinks: must buy a 'Raga' with Ohlins shock...). TFT

'mm there goes the pro in my opinion, unless the ignition is programmable. If anybody finds out how to adjust it let us know. BTW don't shout. How was I to know the stator plate is fixed?

'kin hell, that's a bit drastic isn't it? Why not just retard the timing?

Advantage to using enduro pants is that they hide your beer gut.

Envy isn't the word.

Fantic & SWM, both financial mismanagement. Yamaha still make trials bikes. They're called Scorpas.

Andy, I think this warrants moving to Trials General. I'll read it properly tomorrow. TFT
