Yeah, The Sammy Miller number system was very basic.

So did you fix the clutch? Posting about a front brake is not the same. LOL.

Yes, let gravity do the work!

Trailercamp the issue you are describing is you had the lever adjustment too far in which stops the piston from traveling its full range. You fixed a 27 yr old problem?

Remove the rear brake pedal comepletely. Use a phillips screw driver to pump it. You are far better off with a clear tube over the rear fender. The air will not move until the fluid is above the master cylinder about 8 inches.

Search on you tube for jim snell video's. He makes one for the clutch only. For 1995 thru 2001 models. You should be able to see what you are looking for.

My son runs elf. I run dex vi Go figure.

Let"s back up a little bit. Did you have the clutch apart?

I was passing a motorhome in Yellowstone on an xl 350 and almost hit a Grizzley that was running across the road out of my view. Scared the crap out of me. Luckily he was at a full run out of there.

Lubed every tire I ever installed. All trials tires I could usually mount just by hand. Street tires were just as easy. Some of those rock hard knobbies were still the worse. Wish I still had it, but I quit working on bikes for the most part. Just my own. With all my grand kids growing up, it's still would of been usefull! .

Walk into any tire shop, motorcycle shop, semi truck tire shop, race shop at any track. They all use some sort of mounting lube. LOL.

Don't need soap or water with mounting a tube tire except to test for leaks and to wash the wheel before you work on it. Edited yesterday at 06:09 PM by lemur The canuks must use Moose urine! Mounting a tire without lube is lunacy at best!

Is it a tubless or not? Just putting a tire on is pretty simple. Alot easier if you heat the new tire up first. Laying it on the dazh of your vehivle is the easiest. Some sunshine needed. Soap and water mix and lube well. Lots of vids on it. Good luck.

If I remember right those disc's were the floating type. They were meant to move.

P.S. the 2001 Gasser was the best bike they made from a reliablity view point.

I always used a little grease to hold them in place. Good Luck!

I would say they moved out of place during installation. Try again.

I believe some of these posts are A I. generated.

If you find a replacement, you should relocate the wiring to coming out the front by the right down tube, Crazy they came routed under the motor.

You are asking someone from 5 years ago? You will be fine, bend your knee`s a lot. Trials is about body english, Use your body a lot to make the bike move. It will take a lot of practice at your age, but it is worth the fun involved. Good luck. I am the same age, but I was an expert at 14!

The stock skid plate is weak. I replaced mine and my son`s with the CSP before we even rode them. Pic in avitar.

I think the 9 was over kill. That's like going to a 46 tooth rear. Puts you right in the middle of the power. If you look at a dyno of montesa power, the graph goes almost straight up from idle. I messed around, the 42 was almost good. A 43 was too low. So I ended up with a 9 and a 38. But I am on a 301 which is much quicker.

The black is the slower throttle. Have you geared the bike down at all? Most do at least 1 tooth larger in the rear.

Gas Gas announced a recall on all the newer mx bikes. The Braktek caliper has issues. Go figure.
