Shed / Workshop Security
I have always been paranoid about thefts. Alarms alert you after the fact unless you are home. A good video let`s you watch it. I have a locked gate and yard. Keep a trailer backed against the garage door. Only way in is just the side door which my dog is chained too. Bikes are always locked together in two`s and three`s with high strength security bars that can not be cut with bolt cutters. ( Torch or high speed grinder could work) My wife also baby sit`s the county sheriffs son. Pity the poor thief if a call comes from my house!

Ty250R Mono Drum Brakes...useful,effective Mods?
No Balance has the best response. If you have not done this mod, you have missed the boat. When the ty`s were new we would toss the bracket. Just take a small piece of flat aluminum stock, About two inches long, 1/2 inch wide,3/8 in width or so. Bolt one end to the fork leg mount, tap the other end for the cable. All flex was removed.

Lighter clutch
The 550ml is for a `dry` motor, just like the factory had 750ml for the old engines.

Obstacles On Downhills
It`s gravity that scares the sh_ _ out of you. If (when) you crash you normally have gravity on your side. On the down hills you just know that the bike is going to chase you all the way down. I always tell everyone down hills are the easiest. You and the bike will get down, maybe not on two wheels!! Biggest thing to practice on the small stuff without taking that safety dab that always pops out!

Rev 3 250 08
Actually changing brand of oil could cause a `change`. Also being new to trials, are you sure it`s not yourself hitting the rear brake?

Diy Flags/markers?
Surveyors flagging in any color you want. Two dollars a roll, and you can carry in your pocket.

To Flip Or Change?
It depends on your terrain. I know pro riders that wear them round! If all you ride is mud and slick it is worn. Where I ride, that is just getting broke in!!

What Height Requires A Splat?
Some times a splat is used to keep momentum going. So it has nothing to do with the size of wall. You need a splat to get over under cut rocks, so it just depends on how good you can zap. A really good rider can zap over 4 ft obstacles. It is fun watching the top riders as they splat everything with out much effort!

Raga 2013 Main Bearings!
They probably were good bearings, just rusted in the crate!

2007 Sy250 Paioli Forks
Even if everything worked perfectly on your bike, you are comparing it to the lightest and most powerful bike. The Yamaha is an old slug in comparison, even when new in `92 it was considered slow. Yes, you need to make it work as good as it can be. Remember the front and rear need to work together.

Gas Gas Pro 125
If you get the 125 and it is needing more power, get the 225 kit and that is the best of both worlds!

'72 Mar Newbie - Progress
No, drill a new hole coming out of the case along the front frame. Sorry you will need a flywheel puller. That stator was expensive when I was 14.

94 249 Coolant/transmission Oil
I`m going by memory. You just need anti-freeze for aluminum at 50/50 mix. The oil was maybe 500cc. There is a level indicator screw on the shifter side cover by the small fantic symbol. Hope that makes sense. The biggest difference from `93 to `94 was the front rake was brought in 1 degree for better turning.

'72 Mar Newbie - Progress
So is the wiring still under the engine? Need to move it before you short out the stator.

Why Does Montesa Have Such Strong Brand Loyalty?
I think you all have missed the mark. It`s because of a 5 letter word. H_ _ _ a!

Do's And Dont's Of Selling Bike.
I would say to meet for a test ride at a practice area or event is the safest. I sell from home often, but always keep all my other `toys` out of sight. Common sense would be not to invite a stranger into your man cave. At the same time would you buy a bike from a party that seemed shady as not wanting to reveal their true location and identity? Lately I even take a picture of their vehicle and plate.

Replacement Rear Brake Hose ?
Sounds like you had the brake too tight. It is easier to bleed with the caliper raised above the M/C.
