Heat the brakes good by running up and down the street with the brake on. Throw a bucket of water on the caliper. If done right, they should steam. And I`m not joking.

Digger has the right idea. Just like a hydraulic clutch on a car. Remove the whole assembly. Hang the caliper at the top. Forget the hardware, push the piston with a Phillips screwdriver. Best if you had a meter of clear hosed attached to the bleeder held above the caliper to watch the progress. Good luck. Ps. put something between the pads to simulate the disc.

You have to remove the dust seal and then the clip underneath. Put the lower leg in a vice and it will pull apart, but it takes a lot of force. PS. Screw the cap back on to do this, but just finger tight.

Do you have free play at the lever? You must have a loose feeling between the lever and master cylinder. At 10mm it should not slip. Are you using a proper gasket? You cannot just use silicone for a gasket.

I`m old school, no shield. I think some smoker hater came up with the shield idea.

They need to include a half dozen with every new bike. 3 for the front 3 for the back. If we have to suffer with this crap, the manufactures should be up front about this.

The 7mm head was the upgrade. Originally they had 3mm allen heads which had to be knocked loose with a chisel. You could of saved all that sanding just by burning that clutch in. Fourth gear against a tree and give her hell. Test, and give it another good burn. 5 minute job. Some of us have been doing this for thirteen years. Nothing new.

Getting up this ledge requires a good quick clutch. This bike has always had the gm auto trak 2 in it since new. 12 years and the engine has never been touched. Almost a record for a Pro motor.

They changed the color, the frame geometry, and the air box. And maybe the CDI. Which means almost nothing in the manual. 2004 had the most changes for the Rev 3`s

Actually the factory came up with ATF. Jim and Dale were using GM auto trac 2, the blue stuff at 15 bucks a quart. Which worked better than anything. Then all of a sudden it was ATF only. That 75 wt makes the clutch lethargic. Trials riders have used atf for decades. Just wait till you actually have to work on this beast!

Pretty simple, 75wt will lube it fine. But ATF will make the clutch work. Remember to change often as it`s the transmission oil on the Pro that lubes the mains. Not the two stroke mix.

The 300 sounds like a street bike. Just quit doing wheelies and nobody would look.

The clamps are re-usable time and again. The gassers have been pushing coolant since `94.

The little black circle just pops out from the front, but could break the tab due to age. Sounds like a cracked frame. Had a 2002 with several.

Some Showa`s died along the way. Hard to get a replacement bladder etc. No telling what previous owners could of done.

Yamaha`s don`t use shims. Washers maybe.

Only Honda riders are that gullible!

It looks like the top ten got shook up today. Bustos had it, then choked.

That`s funny! A full size van rides better than most things on the interstate. Around town, that`s another animal. Halfway home from our trials last weekend, I lost my power steering (in my conversion van) on I-40 while doing 80 mph in a pretty good crosswind. That thing drove like a sinking boat all the way home!

Cope has the right idea, chain too tight (Too loose). Chain tensioner, wheel bearings, something rubbing? Sprocket about to break the hub?

From the Gas Gas forum. Total change for the trials side of things in North America. Jim and Dale are done as importers. GasGas Structure Changes In North America -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gas Gas Motos North America is excited to announce many new changes for the North American Continent in the months and years to come! Torrot Electric Europa (New parent company of GasGas) has created a new subsidiary in the United States named Torrot NA Inc. This new company will have two branches of operation while still working in some fields together as one. GGMNA will have a new head office in California to oversee Gas Gas enduro and trial sales while distribution of parts, garments and accessories will be merged into a new larger facility in Watertown, SD. These logistic changes alone will help give Gas Gas and its parent company an opportunity to brand the name, grow its dealership network along with helping the customer obtain parts for any of his or her Gas Gas fleet from one supported dealership! GGMNA is excited to be covering Canada as well, effective April 1st, 2016 for both trials and enduro! Unit distribution will come out of Toronto, Canada while PG &A support will come from the Watertown, SD for the immediate future. Rod Overstreet is our National Sales Manager for enduro/trials/Torrot products and will be covering Canada as well, until we are ready to hire a Canadian Sales Manager. New staff have been hired and new logistics software has been purchased to support the new warehouse which starts operations May 1st. Gas Gas USA (Current trials) will distribute the first container of trials due to contractual agreements. After the first container, Mr Malesek will continue to be involved with Gas Gas in a new role. I would like to personally thank Dale Malesek for his 20 plus years as trials distributor for the US market and look forward to working with him at the trials events as he continues to support Gas Gas and competes in the national competitions! Please, if you have the chance, meet him and thank him for all the years of work! Jim Snell as well has been a vital and key role to GasGas's success here in the US. His video's, knowledge, and mechanical expertise will be greatly missed and it will be very difficult to find someone to fill his role! The best of future wishes for Rising Sun Imports! Torrot realizes the potential in North America and its an exciting time for Gas Gas in North America! __________________ Mark Berg COO, Torrot NA Inc

Good chance the main bearings are bad. Pull off the flywheel cover and grab the flywheel and check for play.

I won my first trials on a red JT1. I was in Carl Shipman`s book, Trials Just For Fun several times on that bike. My next bike was Shipman`s Cota 247.
