Steelman tire bead sealer is what I use.

We have had an `18 300RR now for three months. Perfect fit for my son as he is a good rider doing all the advanced moves. It fits both of us well, he is 6`5 and I am 5`8. I will probably get a 2019. The bike is pretty quick, so maybe go up one or two teeth in the rear. It is a joy to ride. Turns better than my Beta and feels more balanced and stable. Can`t comment much on the waterproofing. He has done a few water sections, but nothing in the filter yet. Strange to hear about the cylinder head comment as we have several new 300`s riding at high elevation and no cylinder problems. But each bike can be different. Good luck on your decision on bike shopping.

Yes, my Bractec is hanging on my wall (They never worked right from new.) and I am using a 12 year old AJP set. I rode my sons TRRS awhile last night and his brakes are way better, in fact the front is too good. A good AJP works just fine.

Let us know which tank leaks first. The Scorpa sure seems the better bike. Good luck.

ATF, change often. It is cheap who cares. Why, the clutch works best this way. I don`t care what oil it is, but if you ride often change often as it will tell you what is going on in the bike.

I would be wondering the `WHY` in the new set cheap.

Did you guys NOT watch the GB world round? More stops than anybody with sections set for ? You got it, stop and hop.

Well it seems like the scorers in the UK went to the same scorer`s meeting.

I think you are confused on what happened. It appears the scorer made the right call. Which Toby needed. Not the other way around. PS nobody is making up rules. Have you been to a scorers meeting at the World level?

Bou must of five`d this 5 times depending on your mind.

Go back and look at it again from only the initial video, not the replay. The spokes stopping does not matter, the front end was in constant motion the whole time. Just like a nose wheelie, just because the front seems to stop for a split second the rest of the bike never stops moving. And no you do not to have forward motion towards the markers, you guys are too tightly wound.

Raga never stopped, there was movement the whole time. Granted his rear tire stopped once, but his front tire kept forward motion relative to the course. I scored a section in 2013 that Raga was cleaning and Bou was failing. On Raga`s third ride, I had to give him a five, even though he thought he cleaned it. Adam ran down to me screaming, no fair, no fair. I just pointed to the marker still in the air his rear tire sent flying. Scoring is easy.

All right this came out a little confusing. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TRAVEL FORWARD IN ANY SECTION! If the section has room, you can go all the way back to the beginning as long as you do not cross your tracks as long as you continue in motion. A lot of the World round sections are set very wide. You can use the whole thing from ribbon to ribbon. I think the UK riders might be a little confused with line of intent and the use of very narrow sections that are usually ridden. Another thing people do not understand is why the riders will go so slow that they seem like they stop again and again. They are only allowed one minder in a section. They creep along to let their poor worn out minder get to the next obstacle again and again. Here is another rule in the World Round most don`t get. In theory you can drag your foot from beginning to the end of the section and that is a one. Would be pretty hard to do, but that is a rule. Scoring with these rules is not as hard as you people with stuck in the 60`s definition of no stop. They should not of ever called in no stop, it`s more like no clock so keep some movement going. By the way I have scored in 2013 and 2017 under these rules and gladly do it again. P.S> Yes I do understand this thread is actually about a call that was politically changed by pressure. Good, bad or indifferent. It sucked for Toby.

Interestingly a certain sponsor had banners around the whole section. And the whole park for that matter. Talk about peer pressure on the scorer.

Watch all the video from the TDN and all the 2018 season. Hopping sideways is not going backwards. Same as you can turn in any direction as long as you do not cross your tracks. Been scoring long? In fact going backwards happens in modern, no stop and vintage all the time as long as the bike is going forward to go backwards.

10 is correct, the weld breaks away. This is always good to check before tear down. 10,11 and 12 is probably the cause. Buying the whole assembly is the easy way.

After researching this a little deeper, this is really ugly. Last section, last event of the year. This stinks on all levels.

We have several in our club and one rider in particular has ridden much better on the Scorpa.

Nice to see the hidden marker, but from the video it does no justice for the call. So how many of you scored the last few UK World Rounds?

Unfortunately, if it was a marker rule there is no blue markers seen in the video at that point in the section. Any other video out there?

Hate to tell you guys, but if you think his hopping side ways on that rock was a five you are mistaken. That will not be overturned. He never stopped motion. That is the whole problem. When they went to these rules years ago they mistakenly called it no stop. It has never been no stop as you have known it. It is no motion.

So squeeze the brake till firm. Does it stay firm or slowly fades away? ( To the bars.) If it does it is probably the M/C.

Well you are forgetting the problem now is any mistake the timekeeper makes. The rider or minder than has to keep their own time to keep things honest. And from a scorers point of view keeping time is a pain in the ass. I have scored two World Rounds since the no stop. Much easier for me, but Sport 7 was a pain too.

Do you realize how much effort goes into just the qualifying section?

It was even better back before they started using time clocks. But all good things must end. Soon the top riders could back most of the way backwards in the section and still clean it. Soon after, too many riders were timing out of the events. Kind of got ugly.
