    The sections now are set quite bit tighter than in 1970. You will find slower is better, especially as when the bike was made you never used the clutch in a section.

    Smokey Exhaust

    lineaway replied to 290's topic in Sherco

    White should be a head gasket leak.

    Smokey Exhaust

    I would bet your crankcase seal is bad on the clutch side. The heavier oil just made it obvious. Or you have a head gasket leak. White smoke or black/blue?

    You would like the EVO 250 better. And the Beta does start easier than your Montesa.
  5. lineaway
    Have you cleaned the exhaust lately?
  6. lineaway
    Yes, it is normal on a trials bike to remove your foot off the peg to shift.
  7. lineaway
    Just the right side case and clutch to get at the shift shaft.
  8. lineaway
    Probably broke the rivot to the shift shaft. Can also just be the spring.

    That is so funny after I posted it in 2018!

    The transmission shafts are not set properly in the case, so not flush.

    There are tons of tlrs just dying somewhere. The xr's would make them choppers, unless you just ride street.

    Using the middle finger is like being left handed. Right handed is right, but the middle finger is not wrong!

    As new with stock gearing the bike would do 4th gear wheelies with a good tug. The bike was/is very heavy. It makes plenty of power, but you have to ride it very aggressive to make it work. I had the first one in our club, I also had a very modified one. Tucked frame, aluminum skid plate (removed the tubes) and 300 kit with complete exhaust. I still have a stock one just for memories sake. Besides very low ground clearance the stock bike actually works well. Have fun with it.

    Beta clutch pull

    lineaway replied to MTHEAD's topic in Beta

    What I actually did was take gasser 160 springs and cut to the same length as the Beta springs. If you want to eliminate drag you have to add a thin shim to the flat bearing on the pressure plate.

    All the top riders have the lever closer to the grip for better feel and short throw. I do just the opposite for the most leverage. I can remember I always suffered from arm pump from holding on so tight and I would end up bleeding all over if it was a long event. Now it scares me that my grip is so weak and its been over a decade since I have had any arm pump.

    Just go out and try your middle finger. 4 years ago I severed the tendon at the last joint of my clutch finger. I tried and tried to use my middle finger. I finally gave up and re-adjusted my levers and made my own clutch springs as my finger was so weak I could hardly hold the lever in.
  19. lineaway
    Thats because they learned wrong and its almost impossible to change after years if muscle memory. I think we have one guy in our club that uses the middle finger out of 100.
  20. lineaway
    Like these two riders.
  21. lineaway
    You should ride a modern bike with both index fingers on the levers most of the time. Closer to horizontal to the ground. If not go back to your Enduro bike! LOL. Check out how most of the top riders do it. Don`t ask someone that has no clue, either.

    It will never work correctly without the outer cover on. It has popped out of were it sits like in a hole and you have probably stressed the spring out of shape. I have had this issue several times and it is just not correctly seated. At this point it is a PITA. What were you doing in the first place? Do you still have the shim for the shaft that sits against the case?

    Well, if it takes a long time to turn on. A tell tale sign the fans life is about out, spinning with the finger gets it going. I have had this happen on a couple of bikes now. A new fan is the only fix.
  24. lineaway
    You have to be careful. A ten year old fan can be having trouble just starting to spin.

    Surprisingly, that assembly is very durable. I have been riding trials for 50 years now and that is better than any metal one we ever used. So throw a spare throttle assembly in your kit as they are cheap. The only thing that ever breaks alot is that little cap on top. Ps do not overtighten the bolts.
