    is there any reason why i should not fit a front mudguard mud flap to my rev 3 to protect engine from mud etc? i have not seen any fitted on modern trials bikes and also wondered if anyone supplied them or do i have to make one?

    Any tips on removing lights , horn and wiring from a 2008 Rev3 250. I will use the original kill switch if possible. I have heard rumours that the cooling fan wiring can be affected if it is not done corrctly.

    i have read the topic above for checking and resetting the float level. does this mean that all rev 3 with a keihn carb need to be checked and altered or is it a mod worth doing. if so, why. mine is a 2008 250
  12. 2 Stroke Oil-------------Synthetic or Semi Synthetic? ALSO Any preference for Gearbox Oil?

    I was unable to get a decent front brake on my 1997 JTR GG until I rode for 5 mins with the brake applied then quenched the disc and caliper with water. Brake now ok. Why did this work and is it a permanent fix?
  15. steam posted a topic in Gas Gas
    After aplying copaslipping to the back of the brake pads (front and rear) on riding the bike their efficiency was reduced by about 50%. No grease was on the pads or discs. The front brake would not even lock the wheel when the bike was pushed. I then tried the trick of riding the bike with the brake applied for 5 mins then sprayed cold water onthe disc and pads. The brake is now good. WHY does this work and WILL the brake remain good.

  17. steam replied to jcr's topic in Gas Gas
    I am about to replace the oil in a 97 270 with Dexron 3 as the bikes clutch is dragging. I will let you know if there is any improvement
  18. Why dont you ride it without stickers on it? I think that is what I am about to do.
  19. steam posted a topic in Gas Gas
    i recently replaced the 2 o rings that sealthe header pipe to the middle box, but the exhaust is blowing there again. any thoughts?
  20. iam a bit dissapointed as i e mailed jacks cycles but never had a reply. now i need to know if an 06 spring ( from which bike )will fit an 04 280 pro as i struggle with small hands to operate the clutch
  21. Would a novice, like myself, be able to tell the difference between a rear tyre that has rounded edges and a new one as my tyre has done a year
  22. Does anyone have any photos/film of the infamous TREMORITHIC section that was used by the Wye Valley AC in their Traders Trial? I would like to see them if posible. I do not think it was ever cleaned. thanks
  23. does anybody have pictures of the great TREMORITHIC section? I would like to see what it was like
  24. steam posted a topic in Gas Gas
    Is there any advantage/disadvantage in using semi or fully synthetic oil in the fuel premix and does it do any harm changing from one to the other?
  25. I have to replace the woodruff key between the flywheel and crank on my 2004 280 pro as it has sheared. Does anyone know the correct tightening torque of the securing nut? The engine has a flywheel weight fitted. Also, I have been advised to lap the flywheel and crankshaft together with course grinding paste and a little WD 40. Any thoughts on this?
