  1. I have a Spider 16 which hasnt been used for a long time. Im trying to charge the batteries just to see if the bike actually works as its new to me. I know im gonna have to get new batteries anyway. The charger when connected to the mains just show a green light, the online manual suggests it should be red then green when batteries are charged, this one is green without being connected to any batteries. Any ideas?

  2. This is something ive been working on and is almost finished now. Just a few jobs to finalise to make it complete and lots of ride time to hone it into something hopefully competitive. 

     

    Wanted to build a Yamaha with this rear suspension just like Mick Andrews factory OW10. Ive built another one which is slightly different in areas with help from a friend who's helped me design and build the fibreglass tank/bodywork along with the paintwork.

     

    A nice feeling knowing that there are only 2 in the world like this and we built them both.

  3. Im in NZ and im finding it difficult to find an IRC dealer. Im in the motorcycle trade and I have got a supplier of Michelin and also Shinko.

     

    Does anyone have any experience with the Shinko brand as they are considerably cheaper the Michelin?

  4. Not too familiar with any of the 4t montesa's and im just getting back into trials. I had an 03 315 new and loved it and also appreciated the build and reliability of the honda side of it especially compared to my REV 3 I had after.

    I have an opportunity of buying a VERY tidy 2005 4rt and was wondering if anyone had info on what they are like especially as this is one of the first ones. Did they have any quirks which have since been ironed out?

     

    I know its now an old bike but this particular bike is at my price range but like new so makes it quite desirable. Spending the same money on a much newer bike would only give me something very "ridden". I dont think id really notice the advancement so dont need the latest bike out there.

    Have a look for Goneli Mudguards anywhere in NZ. I know Bultaco Australia and probably the Hell Team sell them here in Australia. Graham.

    Did a search for Gonelli mudguards without much luck unfortunately, thanks for the info though.

  6. Hello all. Im in need of some advise of where I can buy plastics for a project I have here in New Zealand. They need to be universal fit plastic mudguards which would suite an 80's bike, TY etc.

    Ive found a couple of places further afield but would like to know if there are more local places which will have a more desirable delivery charge. Thanks in advance.

  7. Just introducing myself. Previously from Bristol, UK but now living in Taupo, NZ. Been here for 8 yrs now and ive played about with VMX but now getting back into trials. Since having 2 kids funds are small so instead of a brand new Cota 315 I had in 2003 im currently modifying a 200cc 4t yamaha farm bike. Im sure itll be a bit of fun when its done and maybe ill enjoy it so much I might buy a real bike.
