The double blip is the most basic move to get over a log or ledge. It`s one of the first things learned that involves real timing. I have always said a roll up will get you up almost 90% of all ups. Using RSG on a roll up can get you up 98 % of anything. You do not have to look good riding trials as long as your are feet up you are golden. That is now the basic taught technique, doing a real zap takes very good timing and hours of training. A splat is easy if you have a kicker, but is very hard off flat ground.

Neil sounds like he made a nice niche in the crazy new world. A lot of the coaching seems to be skipping the finer parts of trials training. The newer bikes are just so much easier to ride. You do not need as much timing if you are not afraid of going into a higher gear and attacking hard and true. But skipping the double blip is as bad as a new rider leaning to hop well but never learning to turn! Which many have done, to regret it later. I wish Mr. Price well, as that is quite an interesting approach to trials training.

Either buy new plates or you could get the original spring, but the pull would be much heavier. From our online distibutor down under. Earlier bikes had 1.5mm and even 1.7mm on the first years of the Pro motor.

Old school needle type grease fitting. Even in the 90`s alot of trials bikes took a needle type fitting Example of these. https://www.amazon.com/Low-Profile-Grease-Zerks-5-Piece/dp/B07B8WM3QZ/ref=sr_1_15?keywords=needle+grease+fitting&qid=1642730422&sr=8-15

Once you remove the jet tower, the gasket is really obvious. It takes a security torx to take it apart. It used to be you could not get the gasket. You tube Keihin jet tower. I never would of touched it until it left me no choice. But that is where the real problems exist.

The stock jetting was a 150 main and 30 pilot jet from memory. Nothing wrong with the mikuni once you fix the carb from p****** all over the ground. I would try just the 30 pilot and see how it runs.

keihin has a problem with the jet tower. The piece with the security torx. Thats the only way to clean the carb. Oh yeah , the o ring gasket should be replaced.

Sounds for the most part normal, are you sure there is not a leak at the gasket between pipes.

This is where I order from, but you should find something closer. http://www.mid-atlantictrials.com/K-101-Parts.html

The advantage you are talking about is going to a tubeless tire. That can be done with several different rims.

No. Back in then everything was done by a machinist.

My 2016 factory 250 I tried every combination of sprockets. It drove me nuts. I finally spent a few hours mathmatically crunching the numbers. I ended up with 9 and 44. This gave me a super usuable 2nd gear for almost all sections. This also makes 3rd gear the same as the stock second. First gear for only the tightest of sections. Good luck.

I would change out the jet tower oring with one from an OKO. It is much thicker, and the stock one shrinks. If you have lots of time to waste there is several you tubes of how to check if the jet tower leaks. Good luck. The Beta should get farther on a tank over other brands.It has the largest modern capacity. Should make about 25 miles.

So since you have done everything, again. How are the vent lines routed?

Make sure the choke is all the wsy off. Straight up is choke on, down is off but it can get stuck out of its groove and still be barely open.

Again, none of those are trials bikes. And no one on here cares about the junk you are pushing!

The problem lies in 2016 when they moved the stator into the cover instead of the engine side. Moving the mass more into the center for better handling, but not better traction in the wetter conditions.

This one reminds me back in 2001 I sold a bike to an older guy that claimed to be an Expert road racer. He had ridden pavement for decades. He bought all new gear and so looked the part alright. He showed up at the next event and rode the beginner class which is predominately full of young kids. He barely got through the day. And I never saw him or the bike ever again. Trials is not easy as an older adult. Stick with it, you will figure it out. It takes hours and hours of practice, so get lessons as soon as possible. It`s best so you don`t develop bad habits right from the start. Have fun and good luck.

Oko replacement gaskets are a little thicker, to end this common problem. Scroll down to the 3 piece gasket set. http://www.mid-atlantictrials.com/K-101-Parts.html

Trials pajamas is what we call them. In my 50 years of trials I bought 1 pair in 2000. I usually just wear mx pants and a t shirt. Of course I do wear trials boots

There has been many issues through the years and most is from too many rule changes to the point most people really do not know them. The worst one was counting the all day dab a one, when previously it was a 5. So the stop with a foot down should have remained a 5, the powers to be should have just changed a failure to 10. Then everyone could safely stop with feet down and still not failed the section.

I had a 2016 Factory Beta 250. Talked my son into a 300 TRRS. He did not get along with it, so I bought it. It was lighter than the Beta. But everything happens to fast. So I bought a 2021 Montesa 301. Which puts a smile on my face. But every time I see the guy riding my old Beta I question my sanity.

Also remember KTM does not do parts for what? 2019 and older? Something to consider.

The jet tower is the part with the security torx. It used to be like a forbidden part of the carb, but thats where all the problems can be fixed. https://advrider.com/f/threads/keihin-death-barble.1285977/
