You have to unload for every obstacle. Trials is all about body position. There is a couple crash vids just recently loaded on the front page. Almost all the crashes are from poor body position. Are you going to be able to make some events soon? Pitts trials club has a Ray Peters trials school on the calendar for July. He is a great teacher. Lucky for us he rides with our club now.

War on Christmas is quite entertaining as most Christians just show up on Sunday and really have no clue. Christmas as we know it was created by the Romans as no one knew the true birthday of Jesus Christ. Just so happens to be the same day as Sol Invictus. The Pagan holiday celebrated for centuries before Jesus was born. The real date of birth was likely in September , but some Christian scholars believe it was March. Either way, no one really knows for sure. December 25th was just a convenient time for a holiday. So whatever your believes make the most of the holidays with family and friends. Ride if you can or polish up your bike and enjoy a drink. Happy Winter Solstice!

I started riding Beta`s in `89. I had Zero`s, Techno`s and rev3`s. I have ridden the Evo`s, but not owned one. What the hell has happened. I never remember gear problems?

Happy winter solstice.

Oh no, the clutch pak and the finger height is the key. You can also cheat this on a new bike by using forth gear against a wall. I usually tell the owner to look away.

I cannot tell you why I have saved it for ten years. But I could not believe how many people replied to the OP with the wrong part. My bolt is just fine. That came from the first ride out of the box!

Jordi at Donner 1994. I think he had some help.

This bolt not the other bolt.

It`s got to be a 5 or 6 x 10 or something like that. Just try a regular bolt to get the thread size right.

Donner I believe they lost. Brian, that looks actually like a very strange formation! But any day riding is a day of fun.

That was actually normal. Some bikes p****d all over and some did not. I think the bike fix got too screwed up and I am not going to read it again. Billy Traynors fix was the most correct if is still in there.

If you want the clutch perfect (And know what you are doing) You still either change the steel plates or mess with the friction plates to keep the proper finger height.

Hebo has been up and down. Looks like it`s up again. Look here. http://www.trialspartsusa.com/

The bolt that holds on the primary gear (clutch Assembly) is supposed to be hollow for oil flow. If is just a standard bolt, you can just leave it out. Yes you can, or at least till you get a replacement. It`s like a 5mm allen.

It`s Happy Winter Solstice.

I believe it is just a needle valve. Did you ever ask Adrian at Lewisports?

I used to do this before I rode every section. Not because my bike popped out of gear. Just to be sure which gear I had selected.

Still fast, but much better. Time to use the clutch to slow it all down.

You are right about the mains lubrication Peter, I was thinking of the upgraded mains w/seals. Jim never listed the 2002 parts in the USA. The main difference was the mag cases and the oil quantity was less on the `02 as with the gasket size. The worst thing with the `02 was the shift drum would crack. Then it was clutch plate swelling and shifting problems. This could of all been upgraded if you are lucky.

You cannot measure sag until the suspension works together for starters. A 10 tooth would due as the 9 tooth was meant for 125`s.

Years ago a customer came in with a Yamaha Rd400, requesting a new clutch. Turns out all the teeth on the counter shaft sprocket were GONE! We saved that on the wall for years and years. Imagine how many times the guy had to of tried riding that bike to make that sprocket a complete circle, not a tooth existing.

Put a smaller counter shaft sprocket on it. It will slow it down. Sorry about the line.

What this is saying is the front forks are not working properly. Not the rear shock. They have to work in unison. And it is better to be to soft than too hard. By the way, what countershaft sprocket do you have? You are riding way too fast.

Trials boots are soft and comfortable. Made for flexibility not protection. I have a friend in the hospital that was wearing a pair on a Yamaha XT660. Just about tore his foot off. ( A rock broke the whole front end) That was last week in South Africa. That would of been a long plane trip back home! Then straight to a hospital bed.

It really is not that hard.
