Hi folks,sorry to say but I am selling my 315r, its a 2004 model in good condition(funnily enough!!),really,as I have on used it on one trial since I got it on early 2006. I work overseas and never seem to be home when the club is holding a trial,so want a machine I use on the road and have a thrap around the bing as and when. The bike is MOt'd and road registered,new Michelin tyres and sureflex dimpled clutch plates. can anybody give me an appx value for the bike as I dont have a clue,paid

I have a 04 315R, I am a beginner too! has anybody tried the Jitsie Linkage plates? is it worth my while putting a set on my bike? I do find the back end seems reluctant to move around ( could be the fact I am crap mind). Any info would be gratefully read!

I have just had my 315 tested for the first time,before hand I nipped into the test centre to talk over a few concerns.The main issue that the tester brought up was that my number palte was not visible from the rear,it was basically a trimmed full size plate velcroed onto the top of the rear fender. He was happy enough with a YOU HAVE USED WORDS OR A PHRASE WHICH ARE NOT PERMITTED ON THIS WEBSITE. PLEASE DELETE YOUR POST/TOPIC.

I have just had my 315 put through its first MOT, I had a daylight MOT done,but the speedo issue should be the same. My speedo was not connected for the MOT as it was not required,the only worry that I had in advance was getting a number plate and getting the horn to work,in the end I just got the universal rear number board from YOU HAVE USED WORDS OR A PHRASE WHICH ARE NOT PERMITTED ON THIS WEBSITE. PLEASE DELETE YOUR POST/TOPIC. DO NOT TRY TO CIRCUMVENT THE FILTERS IN PLACE ON THIS WEBSITE.Best bet is to go to the garage you will have the job done and talk to them, I did and was told that all I required was a rear visible number plate,I do not have a rear light or brake light (hand signals under the highway code),no speedo the real issue is that you will need a working electric horn. Mine sailed through without any issue,as the bloke who tested it said "there is bugger all to check on these other than the horn,brakes and spokes as you are getting a daylight MOT!" THE mot is timed so there was a lot of time just standing chatting as it is all done on the PC these days he cant just get it over with and sign it..

I had this problem when I first got my bike too, it was either on or off! What you need is a set of Sureflex dimpled clutch plates and the proper friction plates, mine turned out to have a motocross set hence on or off ( all cork plates!), if you get in touch with Sandifords they can supply you with what you need.Check first but when you take the plates out you should have four cork and three paper plates plus the metal plates, as I mentioned mine were all the same,apparently the CR250 uses the same so that was my problem! but with the sureflex and the correct friction plates it is very progressive,totally transformed.It is a very simple job to do and I just used the Silkolene light gear oil,which I change frequently.although being new to this I am open to suggestion to a better oil?!

Bikes booked in for saturday morning,had a wee wordy with the bloke at the garage, hes happy as long as the horn works (need to fix that this week!) and I fit a rear reflector and get a rear facing number plate (YOU HAVE USED WORDS OR A PHRASE WHICH ARE NOT PERMITTED ON THIS WEBSITE. PLEASE DELETE YOUR POST/TOPIC. DO NOT TRY TO CIRCUMVENT THE FILTERS IN PLACE ON THIS WEBSITE,ready to fit). daylight MOT...so stick duct tape over the headlight to save removing it and tape over the switch gear so it cant be used " what you do five minutes after you leave here is nothing to do with me" still got to pass though,lets not get over confident..

Thanks for the help folks, I have not had a chance to look into this as I am out of the country just now. I had hoped that I would not need a rear brake light as there is not one fitted,there used to be provision under the highway code for hand signals....... will need to look at the horn wiring when I get back too,the speedo is fitted but needs a cable and the drive fitted too.wil try and find a friendly local garage.

My 315R is due its first MOT at the end of the month. The front light and the horn are all disconnected (have been since I bought the bike in may),there is no rear brake light.What is the scoop for the MOT I believe that I can get a daylight MOT but must the horn work and the speedo be connected (also disconnected when bought,but apart from a cable I think that I have the bits to get that going!).The bike is road legal hence the MOT. Any help or suggestions would be gratefully recieved. Oh and Happy New Year all!!

It's used for Subsea construction work,installing manifolds/templates.Flexible umbilicals etc for the oil industry,in deep waters. The ROV systems onboard are 4000m rated.

The photos were taken in Bergen,Norway, where the ship was built,it's now a UK registered vessel on long term lease to the company that I work for. Bergen is an ace place for a run ashore,but very VERY expensive..appx

Thanks for the offer,I would take you up on it but think I may struggle to get the day off, a few hours for a beer or two may be about it! Working on the ROV systems on here till late january then I'm off home for a few weeks,get the Mont out then....cheers though,Have a cool Yule ! http://www.bergenships.com/Normand%20Cutter.html

Cheers Rob,never mind. Hooters can be nice on the eye,but when they stop serving after 6 pitchers and you and your mates are still sober its a bit off,not to mention asking a bunch Brits in there 30's for proof of age before serving you,now THAT'S funny! Think we will be alongside for a few days so maybe get New Year in Veets bar! Merry Christmas and thanks for the info matey.

Hi there, I am currently sailing over the Pond from the UK (doing some Subesea construction in the GOM ).We are stopping of in Mobile,Alabama. I was wondering if anybody knew of any trials dealers or accessories / clothing type shops in town (know a few bars and of course Hooters but thats all I remember from last time).any info would be appreciated. Missing Christmas and New Year with the family so soem trias related retail therapy may help
