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.
-
Remove the brake pedal and use a phillips screwdriver (carefully) to pump the piston. This serves two purposes. One is to get a full flow of fluid moving. You did put new pads in? And all you need is a 4 ft clear hose straight up from the caliper. This will cause it to gravity feed and works the best. But it has to go up at least 3 feet.

I went up to the 11t countershaft on Saturday. Last event of the year Sunday. I always rode in second in 90% of the sections. Yesterday it was reversed. All in first except for two sections. Had a third gear hill climbing starting on the hill, still pulled it no problem. Will be keeping this combo 11/42. Might try a 43 when I next change sprockets. I ride Expert class (3rd from the top class) which is probably more of an easy hard line. Thanks Billy!
-
Why? Are you riding in the dark on a trail you don`t know? By the way, you would have to make your own.
-
On a used bike you will never know what it is till you measure the piston or the bore. A lot can happen in seven years. Example I bought a world round minders bike that was put together as a 250, but had a 270 top end on it.
-
You are putting it back together in neutral and is the detent spring and ball installed for the shift drum?
-
2 throttles? Left cylinder, right cylinder!
-
Thighs are needed for all the advanced moves. My son got his thighs from doing the duck walk in Karate class.

The armaid is interesting, but limited. I carry small hard rubber balls wherever I go. The ball by itself enable you to reach more places. I first used a tens unit at my wifes work. Amazingly she works at a PT now for 25 years. It helped but not consistent enough. So I bought a tens unit 7000. Punch that into google and Amazon has them for 30 bucks. I use two at a time, because it usually 30 minute treatments. PT`s use just a constant charge, I have since gone to a pulse type setting. It is more like a work out. I usually probe from my tricep to the fore arm or to the meaty part of the palm. I actually use it all over my body since I own it. You really just need to experiment as each person is different. My fascia was sticking terribly and sometimes it would take over an hour before I could move again. But 30 bucks sure is cheap vs trips to the dr office. So good luck.

Pauls you are posting in the wrong thread again. He wants to get rid of his pains. New girl friends would be good to add to the getting bike fit thread.
-
Actually having a strong core is most advantageous. I do like the rowing machine too. Weights really do not matter as much unless you are over forty and fighting to keep your youth. Getting older just sucks.

Nothing better than 12 ounce curls while working on your static balance somewhere in your yard.
