    Find the leak, patch it or replace the tube.

    16" wheels

    lineaway replied to Stephen247's topic in Honda

    How tall and how old is your grandson? The taller wheels go over obstacles much easier. You are making the obstacles harder thinking you are doing him a favor. All the little bikes actually suck. I went through this with my son and he rode his first event at 2 1/2 years old and now my grandsons went to full size wheels and they are on the short side. It`s just amazing how much better they ride with full size wheels.

    I know of 4 trials riders that have done that for a living. They all had over 100 competitions and were top riders in there class. Two men and two women. Two of them made a career out of it. Good luck! Any new model of bike would do. You would need to add your location.

    If you have only ridden trials for a year go with the best advice and buy the cleanest stock ty175 you can find. There are still barn finds nation wide. Then if you like it, slowly trick it out. I am on the sick side with a stock TL250 and a modifed TL300. Both heavy as hell. But if you find a clean SWM it was one of the best twin shocks ever!

    Years (decade) ago I bought a like new 2004 300 Raga from a friend that had the same starting issue. It sat more than it was ridden. How hard can it be I thought, I have ridden every brand of bike in my 5 decades of riding. I ended up having my son start it for me. It ended up being his bike. 2 years later he got a new Sherco. Finally I figured out the starting, one or two kicks. Ever try starting a 300 Vertigo?

    A bearing separator and a press is the easiest way. Or a full separator kit.

    Dunlop TL01 will be out in 2023. Looks to compare to the X11.

    Main bearings and seals and check the exhaust. The 2013 has the rear mounted tank? Fuel pump/vacuum issue.

    Handle bars

    lineaway replied to slowrider's topic in Bultaco

    Almost every dimension is somewhat different for a reason. The shorter the better. Check Renthal as they are about the only one`s that post all dimensions. Best bar to buy hands down.

    Well my son had a 2015 Beta 300 4t that he loved and he had all the trick bits on it. He sold it and bought a 2018 Trrs 300. Did not get along with it and wanted another Beta. I told him his mechanic is not working on another Beta 4t carb. He bought a leftover Montesa 300 rr cheap. He is happy and so is his mechanic (dad).

    Your oil has a lot to do with it and lowering the amount helps to. I have used ATF in my Beta`s for 3 decades. Drop your oil quantity by 50-75 cc. The shim will take away the drag, but will not cure the cold stick.

    I am betting on the fan. Did you ever wire it to run all the time? It's old enough to be replaced. The biggest problem with a worn out fan, is it does not always start.
  17. lineaway
    There have bern many small changes every year. The only real problem besides being a 4 stroke, the carb is hard to work on.
  18. lineaway
    That`s hard to remember when we ride from 3,000 to 13,000 ft all the time. My home is at 6700ft.

    You need a 36 to 38 pilot and might want to go up one size of main jet. When you clean the carb you need to make sure the pilot circuit and the choke circuit blow clear. Good luck.

    She be running lean. What size bike and what carb and your elevation.

    Are you sure its not a bad master cylinder.

    TRS front break

    lineaway replied to Scooby147's topic in TRS

    Another thing, you say it was sticking. The brakes were locking up, the lever was not returning? You used dot 4 brake fluid? Over tightening the adjustment can leave no free play which causes chaos. Also it is possible the bike came with a poor m/c in the first place. Ps, the front brake should just self bleed. Another thing you can try is pump up the lever and tie it closed to the lever over night.

    TRS front break

    lineaway replied to Scooby147's topic in TRS

    You took it apart. Did you install a new rebuild kit?
  24. lineaway
    The longest seem to align with the dowel pins, two others with the water pump and then the rest are short. Most leaks on that cover are from the kick start seal. Good luck.

    Are you riding it like a trials bike or just going fast.
