Clutched Trials for Kids?
Depends how much riding you do. Watching the Dad`s carrying backpacks full of batteries around is not my idea of fun. The automatics are the worst thing we had. Started with a PW50, Beta Auto, 2- TY80`s. Then a gas gas big wheel 80, Beta 250, Raga 300, Beta 300 4T and now a TRS 300 RR. He is now 22. Just started my grandsons riding. On TY 80`s. 9 and 11. The oldest one is short, so he will be on the TY for awhile. Opposite of my son, who was pushing 6 foot in Elementary school. No matter which bike you end up with, the kids don`t really start getting good till 12-13 years old. At that age you can see them improve with almost every ride. https://advrider.com/f/threads/the-compleat-yamaha-ty80-thread.574301/

Throttle 'ring'
Just before the white tube throttles came along, everyone ran a small ramp. It was just a slim piece of aluminum that fit in the throttle housing to make it a fast throttle. I am sure it is very similar.

Where is the 2020 Beta Factory Evo
The Sherco info came out the first week in June.

240 Pro sounds lean but it’s not
So go back to the 115 main, 52 pilot and move the clip to the third one down.

Both of those are junk compared to a ty 80. You have not a clue what a good ty80 can do.

‘18 popping out of gear
You are probably correct on this Billy. As when I bent my bars, I swear I felt my toes hit my lever. By the way, I have always ran my lever with no tip. So it is barely a stub sticking up.

4 stroke to 2 stroke
We have more people in our club that have gone back to 2 strokes after owning a 4RT. And a few that went to a Beta 4T. And only one that had a 4RT Repsol, then four Beta 4T`s and now rides a 300RR. Everyone wants to own a Honda in theory, but not everyone can ride one! I guess I am waiting for the 351RR.

2003 Contact TXT Pro 280 clutch not disengaging properly
It becomes a mess if you mix the wrong fluid. Or that could be what is wrong with the clutch!

2003 Contact TXT Pro 280 clutch not disengaging properly
I believe the `03 used dot 4. Somebody correct me if I am wrong. The clutch should have a green cap on the mc if it takes mineral oil.

2003 Contact TXT Pro 280 clutch not disengaging properly
PS. The trick to getting the kick start lever off is just loosening the bolt two - three turns and folding out the lever. It pry`s itself off pretty slick.

2003 Contact TXT Pro 280 clutch not disengaging properly
It is best to lay the bike on the ground while working on the clutch. You do not have to drain the coolant. Just fold the cover to the side and use a strap to hold it out of the way. There is a small washer that goes on the KS shaft. It usually sticks to the case. Don`t lose it. You can just measure the finger height. 17.5 mm is the best. If you are down around 14mm the plates are swollen.

New boots Recommendations
Yep, my boss took his son`s to South Africa for a motorcycle tour on Yamaha 660`s. Somewhere I still have the video of the eldest son adjusting his go pro helmet cam at about 60 mph. He missed a corner and smashed his right foot into a boulder. His Gaerne`s did little help. Very expensive trip, with the medi-vac and the bike was totaled. Myself I continue to sit down and smash my toes at least a few times a year. My Gortex Garne`s left Italy this morning.LOL.

Gaerne trials boots are lacking protection, but most foot injuries on a trials bike happens while being seated. Standing on the pegs is way safer. Ask me how I know.

240 Pro sounds lean but it’s not
So where is the clip for the needle, position wise. Are you using the stock air box? So does this thing wonder up and down depending how warmed up the bike is?

And Short.

Anyone over 200cm/6’ 7” tall? Bike set up question.
The 6 inch bars with maybe a small shim would be the way to go. The Rox risers do not belong on any trials bike.

Change the pilot.

I don't, BUT I created the bike for my son. Which those crazy guys bought and created thier own class of craziness.

The humane body is proportianate, nothing should really matter. You do not see short people raising the pegs and lowering the bars. You actually have quite the gift, grasshopper like jumping ability. Forever long dabs. My little boy is 6` 5. he fits a stock bike nicely.

Help needed 300st won’t start
You did not lose the little needle jet holder when you cleaned the carb? You might send a picture of around the slide area. We have seen that happen before. Only on the forums. LOL.

2019 Sherco ST Hi Rise bars
Well, the reason I spoke up I own a pair of the bars from a 2020 Sherco. I had bent my bars badly during an event and the only bars that my dealer had with them was the stock bars that had been replaced with the low Renthal. It was a two day event and I could not ride worth a crap with that silly bend I believe they are reffered to as a Buffalo bend.. Of course I bought the Renthals also as soon as I could. My son is 6`5 inches tall. He has never needed tall bars, bend your knees. The taller the bar the less leverage you actually have. There is thousands of trials video`s out there of the top rider`s, they all have short bars. Go ride any vintage bike, tall pegs and short position bars.

I would go up to a 52 pilot and see if that clears it up. When was the last time it had mains and seals?

2019 Sherco ST Hi Rise bars
Not only are they too high, but a ridiculous bend. Rubbish parts on a brand new bike. hgas obviously knows this.
