Yeah I was wondering how it could come out and not get the rod. Good Luck.
-
I was thinking something exciting happened. Bent the rod at high rpm and put it through the center case while coming up a 20 foot rock face then crashing to your death. Myself I got over the fact that the kick starter sucked on my zero after it impaled me. **** happens.
-
Pretty simple, It`s an old bike now no matter how much time is on it. Either put a new bolt back in with sealant or buy a whole new crank. I just hope my 2016 never does it!
-
Did you buy the bike new? Does not look like any severe damage. Were the mains worn out?
-
6 year old design problem. I doubt it as I have never heard of it. Does this not hold the plastic block?
-
If you ride a properly laid out long loop event sixth gear is needed. But it seems most of the events now are set for the spectators and the riders would rather not have to ride a whole mile. Give me a 5 to 20 mile plus loop and I'll smile the whole way. I come to ride!
The Gasser transmission clunks, because of it's unique design. Not because it is a six speed. The throttle is on the right.
-
You do not want the bolts to easily come out. This has saved many a rider. Ever try to push a bike that has broken a linkage bolt?
-
Expensive pegs are way over rated. Shop the cheaper ones and buy a new rear tire instead.
-
I believe it had a special bolt and nut originally. Have you looked at the parts diagram?
-
Try searching Jim Snell videos. He had the best info out before Tarrot bought Gas Gas.
-
Looks like rust, not any exhaust leak.

Riding a 125 trials bike on a loop is a whole other can of worms. Last time I rode a 5 speed 125 was at over 9000ft elevation. Worthless.
-
That is strange as the 5 speeds all pretty much suck on the loop, and first through third are the main trials gears. Any 5 speed I have ever ridden needs another gear, except my old TL 250.
-
Depends on his throttle control. In 5 minutes the bike can get plenty warm with the right attidude,
-
I would be more concerned on what oil at which ratio.
-
It is true you can just push a 4rt to start, but sometimes they do not start right away. I was out on a 2017 the other day. It had been sitting for over a month. Started first kick. I rode it for about two hours. That was the only time it started the first kick. I stopped many times with the motor off. (I was chasing the ranches dogs. GPS collars.) Most times it was 3-4 kicks vs my Beta would start first kick every time, except the first kick would be 2-3 times. Funny difference between bikes.
-
Just because you have spark with the plug out of the hole, does not mean you have any spark when everything is together.
-
I had not watched much of the indoor circus in the past few years, until the new Veeners video from last weekend. 6 indoor sections in under 6 minutes tells how fit these riders truly are. Awesome conditioning.
-
First has always been too low on the Beta`s, I always got pretty good on the clutch from riding in second all the time. First being so low is not confidence inspiring, you need more instant momentum. Not instant sound.
-
I remember a very good rider that hopped all day and rode our Nationals for years. In good shape he might of made it at 299 lbs. Everyone always felt sorry for his bike, but there were very few sections that he ever dropped points in. Weight really has nothing to do with it.
-
Newer is always better. Almost. I have always preferred the 250 as it is smoother and a tad quicker. Some like to feel the power, I like to feel traction.
-
You can push fluid through repeatedly and you can still have a pocket of air trapped especially in the caliper. Spending money does not change it. Sometimes you have just got to change the angle of the line. Sure it is easy to bleed a system that really did not need bleeding in the first place. I have done several hundred bikes this way.
-
By the way the engine being overfilled can play hell with clutch engagement. The 4T only takes 700-750cc with an oil filter change and the lower filters cleaned.
-
Yep. that is how the books tell you to do it. But if you never get the level above the master cylinder resevoir you will never get the one bubble out that is causing the grief
The other real life method is to take the whole system off the bike and hang it it so the air can only travel up. But that is more work than you really need to do.
