    Myself I would rather get a five for stopping than running out of time. And that is what we are really talking about. Bring the stop back also means the clock.

    Besides making you stronger, there is much that can be done with bike set up. The more leverage you get is better so move the M/C inward. Better to grip the lever with the middle knuckle of your finger. So adjust it. A thinner blade lever like the S3 Digit. You could find lighter clutch springs or make them yourself. (Do not remove two clutch springs as some suggest. It does not work.)

    They should have called it NO CLOCK..

    That is all good, but normal wear for a 12 year old bike. Just how long have you owned it? I would be more concerned about the cracking around the foot peg mounts.

    Did the detent bolt loosen up and the starter fall out of place. That is the bolt just under the mid pipe at the top of the case.

    Being a Honda dealer in Texas , the chances of them having any spares is slim and none.

    More like the newer M/c is not near as good. If you look at most new M/C fluid levels it is black as can be.

    Heavy clutch

    lineaway replied to miny's topic in Gas Gas

    I tried to get you to call me Billy but since deleted my number. The correct way to measure yours was by the finger height. The best number to attain is 18 mm. You can do that with thinner steel plates or by skimming the friction plates. And by the way the plates seperating was very common on Gassers.

    Heavy clutch

    lineaway replied to miny's topic in Gas Gas

    Just put the front tire against an obstacle in fourth gear and burn in the clutch. Instant fix without any more work may take a couple attempts as most people are to chicken to get after it properly.

    Back in the day of the MAR we ran no idle. The engine had so much mass (along with the Bul and the Cota.) that it slowed it down enough the brakes almost worked. That style of riding works pretty good with more modern sections. With an idle it just runs to quick.

    ATF works, but seems to fade when hot.

    I could only tell you while I am doing it. Same in and out. At least you are doing the oil change correctly.

    When the TM400 was new, I used to spend my days riding quite a bit. Say over 40 hours a week. I normally practiced solo. To entertain myself we had several very hard hill climbs close by. Nothing better than to wheelie all the way to the tops of these hills on my slow 250. Then I would sit and watch the guys on the overpowered wonders crash all over the hillsides. After they had worn themselves out I would ride up to the top not on any trail and they would usually just shake there heads and go home.

    I clearly remember the muffler sticks out about 15mm more than the std.

    2018 EC models

    Besides the suspension the CDI, Stator and crankshaft assembly is different. Feels awesome in the parking lot. The bike is just too much for 95% of the riders. In a real trials is where you get in trouble. Just out playing it`s a blast.

    I would just tap the left case hole for a bolt to hold the oil in. Just remove the clutch cover to change the oil. Do this until you need to split the cases.

    Not a 300 Raga, there is a difference.

    Two things. you never spray carb cleaner in a bike carb.( I know every one does it) So look at the gasket of the needle and seat. It will swell three times the size with carb cleaner. Also you have never shown your vent hoses. ps I only use contact cleaner on my bikes.

    Just pointing out the obvious that a replica is not a good choice for a novice. We just had a guy in our club ask the same question yesterday to me for the exact year. Funny thing is he lives just down the road and should have asked before rhe purchase. In fact I am still at yesterdays trials site and just pulled my loop.Maybe too much sun.

    The clutch is hard because the finger hieght is incorrect.
  22. lineaway
    Yeah newbie giving newbie advice.
  23. lineaway
    Does it start? If it does just ride around with the ckutch pulled in till it realeases. Other wise pull the clutch plates out and see what is wrong.

    9 tooth and learn to shift to the appropiate gear for the obstacle is how real trials works. In novice having a low first gear will give you a chance to learn how the clutch works.

    Real world travel is 140mm on the factor rear.. Sag is not mandatory, but too much means a new spring is needed. Weight has everything to do with it and in trials having the front and rear working in unison is what is needed.
