as title im after a 125 so me (61) and my 12 year old grandson can both use it at trials im just a clubman he has just started to ride question is will this be a good bike power/grip and how reliable are they or should i save a bit more for a gasgas or beta
Many thanks got it sorted droped the carb inlet a bit used 5mm fuel pipe for trials bikes and it went rond realy well ONE WORD OF WARNING to anyone with black pipe the new E10 fuel had eaten it alive the inside has rotted away almost filling the fuel filter
hi im just refreshing the scorpa for a trial soon but noticed the fuel hose is rock hard and shrunk so going to replace but tank side has a 90 degree bend and looks tight to the tank has anyone used straight hose and got away with it many thanks rick

There does seem to be a lot of confusion about the rules but they are pretty clear. IMHO the owner of a practice ground is still required to keep it closed. Lot of traffic on the internet now about all the things we can do, but a lot of people seem to think the "lockdown" is over. It is not. I think most of us (if we are honest) are bending the rules just a tiny bit past what they should be. I'm pretty keen to get back to our local practice area but I would rather wait than have the landowner shut it altogether for fear of being fined. For myself - as in just me personally - I would take the risk, I'm sure it would not be hard to keep apart from other people if there are not too many of us.
Trouble is i can do a track day in my car but cant go praticing i love trials but need a fix i know a few pratice tracks that are waiting for the ACU that i think is wrong low numbers pre booked and lets get out before we loose a lot of riders
quick update soaked the gasket inwater for a bit got it to fit put the bolts in to hold it in place will let it dry out for day or so and see what hapens might glue it in place with a bit of sealant
hi im rebuilding a gasgas txt280 pro 2006 and all ok but the crankcase gasket is just to tight as it goes around the crankshaft i have tried 3 gaskets all the same any idears
hi returned to trials and love it but missing something just cant ride as i should si could do with a few hours lessons do anyone know if there is anyone that do lessons near oxfordshire in the next month or two
x11 or dunlop looks good but will change it forks are fully up top will go for tyre and bars forward and give it a try so i know whats doung what i do yus the clutch but it is a bit snappy will have a play with that many thanks for the pointers
hi i have just returned to trials scorpa 280 im 57 been off the trials since the early 90s and did my first trial today and loved it getting better every section but there is one thing that i cant get right i can turn tight on off camber ok but turn tight on the flat and the front wants to push away from me tried leaning the bike over a bit more helped but was still bad running 5psi in the tyre was tacky conditions
i use to race speedway and the tread is very low and large squares they are now designed not to grip i can get loads free but would be us for a trials bike
hi im just returning to trials at 57 and to be honet i just dont have any spare time i would love to help out but it would mean i would have to miss riding that month
i must admite there are to many routes its to confusing what with 50/50 etc stick to 3
Had a great day the scorpa was great realy loved it junped on an 07 gasgas and didnt realy feel it was a better bike the scorpa does need a 9 front sprocket its got a quick action twist grip and i liked it but a shorter gear lever is a must the only part i hated was changing gear realy had trouble finding the lever but a new one on order and back out in a few weeks
hi new back to trials at the moment just going to do some praticing but later will do a few events starting easy route and work my way up but will need a new set of tyres x11 seem ott but im sure worth it are the mitas any good as a pair are only just over £100 use to use mt43 and liked those
Pulled it apart and not to bad had to straightern the frame by the footrests need to get the silencer welded std trials thing and drill one bolt out of the forks spindle clamp a goodtidy up and its ready going out on it next weekend at nash mills but a very happy bunny
Many thanks its only £1200 so got a lot to play with power is no problem as that use to be my job so a flywheel weight and adjust the port timing and ignition i did love the lack of linkage
