  1. Are you riding a modern trials bike? Are you trying to ride a trials bike like a motocross bike? If you are talking the 4T the tire will fit just will have to do something with the fender. You will fall less riding it like a trials bike and actually go faster if that is what you are after.
  2. The rubber inlet boot has shrunk with age. Just by a new one. Ty 80 gas caps also shrink.
  3. Crazy yes, Sherco usually has the lightst pulling clutch and you leave two springs out! Should`ve been anal instead! Nice to see that you upgraded! Keep you going a few more years!!!
  4. If you are riding dry rock a tire will last until it can`t hold air any more! But at 6 psi you are not getting all the grip possible.
  5. Numbers do not matter. Go out and ride the bikes. You want the one you are most comfortable with, most importantly the one YOU have fun with. Personally I was tired of the 4rt in the first 15 minutes. If you are a numbers man, buy a Gas Gas raga. But I would put the smile on your face as the biggest part of a sale!
  6. Sounds like you need to find a good mechanic. You obviously never priced a front end.!
  7. The dumbest thing our club ever did was go to white ribbon. Everytime it snows you can hear my laughter all through the camp. Use a color that works for location. (Not picking on you Jon)
  8. Most of the time it falls right together. Other bikes I have spent several wasted hours assembly and re-assembly , then all of a sudden there it is. WTF? If you wind it too much, you might want to start with a new spring. Once it get`s bent, the spring itself is the problem! /
  9. Allright I`ll bite. I rode one for years with it stock. Finally I used the front wheel off a yz125(yes with the z spokes) the master cylinder and caliper. It worked great! And still all yamaha parts easy to come by. Just made a braket for the caliper bolts in aluminum that mounted to the front fork leg. Never welded it just used two clamps.
  10. They were available in `01 as an option, Mainly upside down forks were no longer the norm. Peer pressure in trials! Seals should be easy, springs probably will need replaced. The bike was real soft spring wise. Nothing wrong with it,upside down just was now frowned upon. Ps. make sure the front fender mounts are the aluminum ones, originally they were all plastic. They broke and the front end would wobble all over.
  11. The shaft is not all the way in the case. Either it is not correct as Jon`s post or it is stuck on the thin washer. It is about .2 mm and is quite annoying until it falls in place. Keep trying ,good luck.
  12. Front wheel might be wrong, but it might just work better than the original.

    The line went with the brake line to almost the caliper. Had a pickup on the spokes. Not worth fixing . Find a newer bike speedometer that might last a little longer.
  14. If the plug is `wet` then the engine is flooded. You probably have a pool of fuel in the crank which gets sucked up and wets the plug, fire out. Have you pulled the exhaust and plug and pumped it dry?
  15. Just pull the gas line off and see for yourself!

    Fuel Tap

    Seems I only used off and reserve. Seems if I remember the CDI could break the petcock during a hard drop if left in the `on` position.

    Chain Length

    I always rode the beta in second. If you always rode in first I would get the half link and try it out. Otherwise go back to 10 t.

    Base Gasket

    If you are lucky it will just be the gasket. But when it stopped it could have knicked the piston.

    Main Bearings Gone

    I would not risk a motor with cheap seals. The Beta ones are known to last many years!

    Main Bearings Gone

    No need for the mains from beta, just the seals and gaskets.
  21. I`ve always worn moto-X pants for more protection. Most have shin guards built in.
  22. Thanks Kramit, I had wondered for awhile about him. RIP Bob.
  23. I also have a cota 200 and have not had an issue with the stock ignition. The stock flywheel is light for that era. Are you saying that you have changed to a lighter flywheel than stock?
  24. Well being an Ossa rider I always thought they had it right! But I am also am one of the unlucky ones who have put the whole kickstarter in my leg!! ( It only blead a whole month) The best thought out engine ever was the Fantic. Forward starting kickstart.(If you ever rode one and had to start it in a awkward spot) Also the shift lever was the best ever!
