`93 should have gone to a case induction and the previous years were not.

his plates have swelled so the tolerance on the fingers are out of spec. try a search on this forum for pro clutch problems , your owners manul or a friendly wrench. An upgrade to the newer clutch pak would be the best solution if he is planning to keep the bike awhile.

New Mexico usually is the shortest drive to any events. try nmtrials.org

Do I dare say the current Montesa status in the US could be considered a little bleep. Sherco rides easier, Beta is the better equipment. Sherco would probably be better to learn on. Any way all the newer bikes are great. Might look more at who your local dealers are. Just go have fun.!!

Just west of Pueblo Colorado, RMTA has several sites that include this years national. Their website is coloradotrials.org.

The discovery is the only one you`ll find here. just remove the metal toe clips, and you have one of the best kept secrets in the trials world. Best made boot. Not quite as flexible, but top quality.

If this is it it will do it hot or cold and change with the engine revs. I would still try to fix with searching for it. It would drive me crazy if I was riding it this way. And of course it could be something else entirely being a `pro` engine.

Go in from kick start side. Message from No1 is correct, the metal chip usually comes from the crap kickstart gear and ends up wedged in the primary clutch ring gear. Makes a terrible noise, but nothing is really wrong just annoying.

Just thought the coil usually grounds to the frame when bolted in. And the wiring harness to the switch and lights had three yellow wires that had to be connected, though could have been for the fan only. I would get rid of all the extra wiring for the lights etc. to remove all weak ponts of the system.

If that is all the damage to the case then it could be minor. But cleaning out the small bits will be the challenge without causing further problems.

Quite common for the clutch ring gear to pick up a stray piece of metal. Results in a bad tick which could sound like transmission gear or as bad as a rod knock. Inspect the ring gear tooth by tooth, might even need a magnify type glass to find as it bonds to the gear and very hard to see. Hope this is all that`s wrong, good luck.

I`m trying to remember, yes it needs to be spread to both sides and use something besides your fingers. it can be a little akward, but as it comes out of the package thier would be no pressure.

The `04 was the first year the pro was `good`. So being quality minded(not cheap). That would be the best year to start looking at. Good luck! I`ve enjoyed many a ride on the 300, but the `06 and 07 are quite a nice improvement. (but not as cheap)

Nice coverage Craig!

I`d pull off the mag cover, the exhaust and the carb and air box. If you still don`t have spark by this time. (just by a plug check). I would go ahead and pull the topend off remove any moisture and lube the crank so you don`t lose the bottom end bearings. I`ve lost my bikes twice in deep holes and they have always restarted after draining carb and air boxes. So if it didn`t restart I`d lube the internals up so you do not have the added problems of bad mains ETC, and so on.

Yamaha Frank I was just thinking how ignorant people still are about services in the middle of nowhere. And yes it is the same person. Ron answered the question about the NATC bucking up, but why should they? 1 to 2days will not make any difference in the out come. I will talk to Bruce about Sipapu, I can make the internet work at any site. Just so happens to be what I do these days. Bob R.

Now if everybody griped to their NATC reps enough maybe I would be able to provide a satellite connection at all events or get the boys to buck up for a mobile unit. Hey Mr. Behling you reading this !!

102-105 main and 38 pilot. And yes it only goes up from the staging area. Easy on the rear brakes coming down, I`ve seen them overheat badly. Don`t forget to use the throttle on the long down hill slopes as you can stick a piston real easy. Seen guys ride from top to bottom without any throttle and wonder why the bike lost power. It`s almost like running a 2 stroke without oil. It`s a good trials area and we are having a 2 day event this weekend. Hope you are in shape. Walking sections at 9000 ft is the hardest part.

Let`s See , the thirty day rule has been around for maybe a couple of decades. Maybe as long as the last time Lane rode a national. The dates and rules have been correctly posted since at least the first of the year, on the same website to which you want instant results. Tonight the highway to Pueblo was closed due to a wreck with a tanker, so that`s why you havn`t heard much. I Too stayed home and worked this weekend. Mainly because I`m scoring at our event this year and can`t make six events otherwise. By the way most clubs can only get insurance thru the AMA to hold their events in the first place.

If you are not there, then waiting a day or two is not going to matter much. If you have been to the trials site you would know most people are sandwiched in like sardines. With most people having 30` plus trailers and such nowadays no body is travelin` far for internet access. I know I can`t get an answer to people there. So cell service is limited. Everybody pretty much had their hands full considering all the recent changes (Cliff had taken care of alot on his own). And regard to your other post and pre-entry. The hosting club needs to know expected turnout ,classes,awards(which usually takes more than two weeks). Champ was won by patrick today again.

First I would ask Geoff himself. Did he have fun? What he thought of the best trials on earth. Was it his first scottish? Will he return again? Did he think he prepared enough. Does he even care his position. It would be good if we could get our riders over there more often. But the Scottish is a trial with it`s own soul. How many first time riders break into the top 30%. How many enter and get turned down every year? Most riders seem happy just to finish,some just for the time off work. For years it has not attracted the factory riders at all. When was the last time Doug, Adam,and Fuji rode it? It has been great to see the new crop of riders doing so well. The top 5 have stayed so consistant all week. The next few years should see good results in the WTC. But will they return to the scottish?

Call your local motorcycle shop. Ask if they are a tucker rocky dealer. Try part # 19-5203. retail is $2.99. 520 connecting link kit.

In `92 the parts would be hard to get. Great bike though to add to a collection, not to be beat up weekly.

Have been riding Beta since 1992 and never had an electrical failure. (seven rev3) We also have never seen a stator go bad in our local club. We also seldom have water sections or much moisture. Have always wondered if it was somehow related.

Erase that thought. Never think it again unless you want a push bike!
