  1. A lever extension on the arm is all we ever did. Which seemed light enough. Do you have a new clutch cable? That would be the first item.
  2. Just ride more events. Do not worry about the score, and eventually you will find someone to ride with.
  3. http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/marzocchi-fork-maintenance-de-mystefied.1018648/
  4. This should help. http://shercousa.com/pdfs/Sherco_Engine_Teardown_and_Assembly_Manual.pdf
  5. Take a picture of each side of the motor for us too see. If not, take it to a mechanic.
  6. It leaks, replace it as you seem to have had this pronlem for awhile. That said Beta rear brakes have always sucked. Wish I knew why. My first Beta was a 89 tr34. The revs were better, and my 16 factory both brakes suck. My 04 Raga"s were always great. Gas Gas always had good brakes. My sons 15 4t are good and firm, but they have no feel. Recently I noticed that the rear wheel alignment was pretty bad and now my rear are better. I have done everything I could for the front. Time to find an ajp replacement for both the m/c and caliper. Good luck.
  7. I would say that the 250 figures are right with the 127.5 main jet. Just buy a new pilot jet as you need one. And yes that is the air screw. I believe Jitse makes a longer screw that is easily adjusted.
  8. If it still feels poorly after you bleed it you will need a rebuild kit.
  9. Montesa improved the peg location in 2016.
  10. Deep tissue message. https://deeprecovery.com/how-to-treat-tendonitis/
  11. You are still going to get more answers on the old bikes in the proper sections. Montesa in Montesa. Just takes longer for replies on vintage bikes vs modern.

    MONTESA 348

    http://www.custgp.com/a1manual2/Montesa_Cota_348_1978_Parts_list.pdf Missing the oils page. 300cc 90w for the gearbox. 200cc 10/30 for the clutch. 190cc for the forks.
  13. The 300 has lighter forks and more power. New front wheel is not going to do much. I just happened to ride both bikes back to back this week. The 300 does feel waay better. Or you could buy a pipe and new forks.
  14. ATF lets the clutch hit sooner, which the guys riding the big stuff like. Most motor oil gives you a larger slip zone.
  15. Depends a lot on which bike you are riding. Then it depends on what gearing you are using. Sherco Gas Gas and Montesa usually come with a taller first gear. People that ride higher elevations usually gear these bikes down a tooth on the countershaft sprocket. First gear is the best to learn to ride trials. Second gear will get you over about anything, third is more of a hill climb type gear. Riding in second and above requires some clutch work, but some bikes even pull 4th gear well. Myself on a Beta I usually ride second gear 90% of the time.

    2017 clutch

    Did anyone mention, this has to be a hollow bolt, it is the vent.
  17. Eddie`s rides in my section at Arizona were the most spectacular. Amazing rider, but at the end of the day I checked his score and just way too many fives. You could see this coming from a mile away. If he goes to Endurocross he will dominate that sport in a short amount of time.
  18. I would say that you are still not all the way in and flush. Sometimes it takes a few tries.
  19. Remove the exhaust, much easier.
  20. The 11 tooth was still too low for first, but made second too tall. The 10 was used to be ridden in second gear most of the time. First was only used for really tight sections. My 2016 is using that same gearing. Not too worry about the 6 hole sprocket, it is a stronger hub and you can still easily get replacements. Just not on your keyboard, you have to use a phone.
  21. The `08 Rev certainly was the best Rev 3. That said that line of bikes are way slower than the modern bikes. You will be fine.

    2017 clutch

    It also could be as simple as he has over adjusted the lever. No free play.
  23. Intake manifold and throttle cable. That carb you are getting will need going through.
  24. Interestingly Casales was the first rider to clean my section at the US GP. He also was the only rider to use a different line at the entrance rock. There was a hole forming next to a log that was catching riders pegs as they attempted third gear splatters. He just rode a larger wall. This section averaged the most fives from every class.
  25. Yeah my boys bike rins a 130 and 27.5 pilot at low elavations. Full Arrow exhaust. I know many rifers never touch the carb and just use the mixture screw. My son loves his bike as it suits his size. The 4t is much bigger feeling than my 2 stroke It sits about an inch taller when loaded in the van. He has an arrow header and also an aggressive rider.
