You would be better off with the 2002. The frame and plastics changed quite a bit from the `99-2000 model. Unless you just are collecting the bultaco model.

If you are talking an all steel pipe, try this. Start at the exhaust inlet with a torch set, just a small amount of flame to get the pipe burning. Flame off and go to straight oxygen, just lightly. The pipe will slowly burn all the through the end. Just try to keep a slow burn going. You can see it`s progress. If pipe starts turning red, slow down with the air. It does produce a lot of smoke, but c.leans it out well. Others nearby will not be impressed.

Should be for releasing pressure.

Vent tubes have to vent. Just cut a hole in the middle of the two!

They should not be linked unless there is a breather hole!

With the spring installed it should tighten with out all that work! Just pull the cap back off and fill.

You could always go back to the 11t cs!

I think he answered his own question in his first sentence.`and it has been v cold here in North Wales` Basically you would have to ride the bike very hard to get the fan to run in cold weather.

Cope, I can still remember being 12 and had a flat tire. `You want to ride? The garage is full of tools.` Says my non-mechanical father. Figure it out!

Mick`s still around. If you get a chance at a school or a vintage event, he is quite entertaining.http://www.mickandrews.net/plonker-to-mar-and-beyond.php

At 16 you should do this no problem, have some faith in yourself! If after doing a wheelie with the clutch pulled in, and using the brakes don`t work you could pull it apart. You only need a 4 mm allen wrench and a 8mm socket/and or wrench to remove the clutch springs. Just lay the back on the left side on the ground against the handle bar. Make sure the gas is off and you are not leaking fluid. With the bike in this position you can check the clutch plates without draining the oil. Here`s a video to help. At 16 you are plenty old enough to work on your bike!!

I usually ride around clutch pulled in, lots of brake, or a wheelie does it. Otherwise it is only a few minutes to pull the clutch plates out and clean them up.

This video will show how small this gear box is to the old reliable transmission.

Trials transmissions in general are usually not fragile, just the pro. It is a strange design found only in the pro. Mainly the shift to 3-4 and back down 4-3. But in general the whole thing is not a strong design. You need to search the forums and you will see pro tranny problems over and over. The bike works very well, but has always had the most repair issues. Everyone says the newer bikes are better. Just use the brakes more, and not hard shifts on the trail.

Riding the pro like you would any trail bike. Will break the tranny in no time. If I shifted the pro like my old Yamaha that I desert raced, it would have several major problems. I have a friend that came to trials, having several KTM`s and a few street bikes. He has a 2010 pro that we replaced the whole tranny in 2011. It was just from down shifting what would be considered `normal` on most bikes!

Third to fourth is always noticeable. The whine is some what normal. These transmissions are very weak. High speed trail riding has to be done carefully. Keep on eye on the oil for fragments. The needle bearings are prone to coming apart with hard use.

I think the techno forks should work. `94 and `95.

Chuck is that where Shay got his forks?

Probably should rebuild (which is fairly cheap) the master cylinder.

Chuck you missed out! I had two points in two days, but 17 in the ride off!!!

I`d say `84 242 just guessing.

If you have an 11 tooth counter shaft sprocket, change it out for a 10 tooth. Some models are geared too fast!!

All right, I`ll bite. What`s this old guys trial on Friday. My son`s going. I`ve been offered a seat and a room. Now if I had the time!!!!!!

Pretty simple if you ask me. All outdoors events no stop. All indoor events anything goes. Besides this is a motorized sport. If you want to hop all day for a workout, get a monty! Now how close you score this is another matter. The FIM video did no-stop no justice. That has always been the issue between scorers.
