I`ve heard that excuse ever since I started riding trials!

So is Andrew braving the high altitudes of the Ute Cup!

I am not confused at all. 43 years trials rider, Desert racing was my preferred go fast style. I have worked in the industry anywhere from parts, sales, service. Started at the oldest Yamaha shop in the USA and also sold trials bikes for many, many years. You are wasting your time. Unless you like sitting.

A ski area can be heaven to a trials club. But you have to have a local club, which takes a lot of work mainly from a few dedicated souls. I was one of two trials masters for the first National set at Taos Ski Valley. We spent every weekend up there that summer as there was no loop and all the sections had to be cut out. Setting is just the beginning, as a national requires a whole club. ( I was the President also for the first two) We have been lucky as we have been using Sipapu Ski Area for our last few Nationals. Much easier as we have ridden there now 23 years. Nice find Pete, but I`m not sure of a club close enough. Maybe it`s time to get one started! Good Luck.

First you never needed the clutch on an MAR. It had enough flywheel to run a dead idle. As long as you could jet it. On the `99 I would make sure you have a 10t counter shaft sprocket as they ran fast stock. On the other hand the clutch on modern bikes are amazingly light and easy thanks to hydraulics! Two different turds.

Lower and flatter has been around 1990. Wider has to do with rider preference. Too short, loss of leverage(Same thing as bar risers) Too wide and you might not sneak through the tight spots. MX bars have a bend for sitting down like a women.

If the rear shock is in good shape, it`s plenty good for your weight. The front fork spring could use a new one as the bike only has one up front. If you are actually riding trials soft is better. If you got the owners manual with the bike, go by the factory settings for your lean weight.

That`s funny, you sound like my son. He has several projects that he bought this summer for ME to make him some money for a new bike. The Pro motor is like no other bike. If you have never been in one, he might pay attention to real suggestions. Good Luck.

550 is correct by the book I always used 500, the 550 was really meant for a dry amount.

Snell maybe a little rough on the phone. But he knows the bikes and he stocks the parts. His parts inventory only went bad when the factory started suffering financially. When the factory is out of parts, everyone suffers. Jim will have the parts on hand as long as the factory has their **** together. Snell I can call. Ryp I can call. All the others?

And you started a second thread on the same problem. You pull the bolt out of the middle of the clutch assembly yet?

I think you might be on to something with the ground. I rode a Pro awhile back, that if I physically pulled the bike hard left it would die. I did not have the bike long enough to find out why. On my son`s Raga, it would die if it went up and down suddenly. I fixed this by drilling a second vent in the Keihin carb on the left side that looks like a blank. Stopped stalling by over 60%. Good luck.

Putt got his second National win. Cody Webb 2nd by two points! Awesome finish to the 2015 Nationals.

You need to remove the piston from the Master cylinder. Good chance the seal is bad. You will need a rebuild kit.

He was never entered. Either way it gave Sherco a 1,2,3 finish.

Putt just got his first national win today in Wyoming. Way to go Andrew.

Originally this was a pinned thread of Billy T`s Fix. (Which I used when the Rev`s were new.) Some how someone thought they had a better solution.

Try removing the plug cap and trimming till you get new good wire on the plug lead.

I have always done my cranks at 18 thousands. Beta only gives a spec for the two halves total distance. 62 mm: +0.05 to -0.15 mm. I always looked at float being play in the whole shaft. Rod set up was a different manner. That is Beta specs from the manual.

Keep him on a bike until he is 10 years old. Oset`s just make kids lazy, and kids are too small for gas powered bikes really until about twelve. From a dad that bought too many bikes for a kid that really can ride. (Now that he is 6` 4 and 17.)

Bite the bullet and replace the mains.

Got to watch a rider (Who installed one for it`s positive benefits) five a section today as it came off and stalled the bike for no seen reason. Instant five on a clean ride. It could be very bad for a bike to stall at the wrong moment. I`ve ridden trials for 42 years, never blew up a motor or launched a bike into a spectator. And yes I`ve had more than my share of spectacular crashes. Leave my kill button alone.

I`ve done a complete rebuild. The kick starter was the hardest part. The only thing I can remember was the kicker had to be about three o`clock for it to finally hit the sweet spot to go together.

At first glance it reminded me of the 1999 Bultaco. It looked better in the video. I for one prefer just a good carb. And you do not need a high dollar shock if you can ride. Will be interesting to see how it does during some competition.
