What’s happened to tales of a clubman? Miss those videos and down to earth people… Great viewing for the general riders of every age and class

Hi all, not sure if this ok and correct. mum looking for a pair of used boots that anyone has or willing to sell for my don, adult size 11 hes never rode trials before and not fancied to pay over £200 for a new pair just in case he doesn’t get into it, I would if he was my size, but I’d have to stuff with a bag of coal to fit me. Anything at all for a starter, thanks for whoever reply’s.

Just seeing what everybody uses for jacket whilst riding, I’m looking at the jitsie glow jacket at the moment, sounds like a good jacket windproof, waterproof, also has a hood so use whilst out and about. Just after some advice. It’s not the cheapest but only the same as a walking jacket big brands.

Finally had time to clean and have a proper look. Was just about to take the kicksart seal out and change, on closer inspection, just under the kickstart shaft, there’s a crack in the casting at about 4-5 o’clock position… bummer. I’m going to try some jb weld, but if not it’s a new case. Question is if I change , which I’m confident of doing, but just unsure about the clutch line next to the oil filler, Dino have to bleed out the clutch fluid, thanks for any yelp

Just cleaned it all down, checked the bolts, and it is leaking slowly from the kickstart and obviously running down, it’s not fast but obviously it’s a leak. Does anybody know if it’s simply to change yourself? I’m going to look on Jim snells YouTube stuff. Thanks for any help. 👍🏻

The lad who I got it off said it was leaking above the water pump, so I’m presuming the bolts are different lengths, and somebody hasn’t put them back correctly.. I’ve watched him snell ont YouTube, and there’s four different lengths, so I’ll drop the oil again and take them out, and check. The order. 👍🏻

I’ve also been told it’s had a new gasket as was doing the same before I bought it, but on a higher different bolt?

Hi all I’ve just done an oil change on my Gas gas txt pro 2013 300cc ive notice a little oil before on the bash plate, I’ve changed the oil and started her up, when I dropped it, there was 300ml ive topped up with 390-400ml its half way up the site glass ish. Problem I’ve noticed is when running, there’s a slight drip weep out of the clutch case bolt under the site glass? I’ve taken it out and check it.. but just wondering how or what it could be. thanks for any help

I’ve looked there and there’s no switch. Just a little white 2 pin connection. next thing is finding out the propper switch I’ve tested the headlight and it works of a 12v battery… 👍🏻 I’ll take the tank off and examine propper to see if there’s anything but pretty sure that white pin is it. 👍🏻 Thanks for reply

Hi all. Just bought a txt pro 300, lovely bike question is, I’ve got an led headlight for it, found the connection on the loom, click it togeather .. and nothing at all, can’t find a switch and just can’t fathom it out. Surely it should be able to switch on and off? But I’m stumped… thanks for any reply…

Not interested now… could be fine could only last a ride? Shame really as it looked too top. Although, I thought a little over priced for year…

Thought this wasn’t correct. Makes sense now… 👍🏻 that’s my interest out , it’s identical on both sides and directly what you’ve said…. Thankyou

Just a quick question on the gas gas, looking a 2005 280, I’ve got a 1999 ive noticed the frame is different, but in the pictures, there looks like a kink in both sides of the frame on the top of the a frame under the tank? Is this correct, tried to look online and there’s a few that have it and some without… just looks weird also what would be a good price? It’s up at 1450 road registered. Looks clean and trust the guy, just thought it was a little high.

Can anybody abuse where best place to get a clutch kit from? There’s a breakers near me who have brand new and part worn but just wondering what places others use...

1999 txt 280 not pro... the oil glass is not in the cover. ??

Didn’t take the clutch plates out... just the springs to examin the clutch rings, the 1st ting the fibre comes away from the steel ring. Do new clutch needed. I need to try and find a kit. the cylinder is sorted now. Helicoil 6mm kit, and going to sort that out then onto clutch. I must of over tightened the clutch springs me thinks

Just after some advice, the clutch cylinder in front of the front sprocket has forced the t we o bolts out of the cast engine block? I know helicoil or retap can be f dig one? But can anyone explain why it has done do... I was checking the clutch plates and revolted back togeather , then the clutch leaver went solid and forced it out

Decided to look at the clutch? Seemed ok, put everything back togeather, then pressed the lever, nothing then all of a sudden got stiff, I looked down to the left of the bike, and the clutch cylinder above the small chain sprocket was moving, then all of a sudden if spewed oil out.. loads of it... I’ve put it away now as am not feeling the vibe and can’t bare to look at it as I’m assuming this is serious... something has gone, and when I lean it over it p****s oil out on the left hand side...

Hi guys. been out for about 30-40 mins in the bike, 1st outing since lock down. Was flying fine everywhere, then all of a sudden was squealing as if something was stuck, stopped the bike put it 1st gear and still squealing, sounded like the head. But not sure, now I had to start it again to get up a massive hill... still doing it, I popped it into 2nd and it stopped, then third still ok, ran it all the way home and it was fine... washed it and tried to start it again, it keeps select gear on its own with the slightest knock or roll, then really hard to select neutral.. I’m running it on 75-80 /1 fuel and changed the gearbox oil. Light gear oil 75w putiline theres obviously something wrong? how do I check clutch, or could it be piston... I’m lost, but don’t fancy paying hundreds to sit in a shop.. any help would be great guys

Just a quick question? I have a 99 txt obviously not riding as in lockdown, but giving it a few once overs, start up balance ect in the back garden. Question is, is it recommended to run an inline fuel filter? Just a thought that popped into my head. I was sandifords the other month, and seen them on the counter. I know people who have run filters before on mx bikes and it’s strangled the fuel so they’ve took it off. Just seeing what people recommend, and hope everybody is sticking to the rules. Hard as it is, but be worth it when we’re back out. ??

Hi. Bike was running ok, then wouldn’t start, back garden engine running nothing outside whilst on lockdown mind. I think the petrol was left on by my lad, plus younger lad reving throttle whilst not running ? the plug was Fowler, so cleaned and started first time and every time now. I’ve ordered a new plug also. Question is, sometimes whilst trying to kick up, after about three times, the kickstart just slipped, but not all the time. I’m wondering if this is a spring like friction spring or just impatience of me trying to start and not letting it reset. It’s an old bike 1999 txt, but I was just wondering whilst it’s quiet is it something to check or do. Thanks for any advice its only don’t it twice but not sure if it should do at all

Thanks for the advice, I’ve put a new hose on and cut it in half. I.e two separate hoses.thrre about 3” each in length. I’ve put one behind the air box jubilee clip and the other is just under the carb. I take it if there just breather pipes they can be any length. I’ve been pondering for the last few hours about stripping it down again. Tomorrow and connecting them back togeather and just put a hole in it...

I’ve just got back with the dog from my 1 exercise a day. Mice cut the tube in half and tucked them out the wAy. Started 2nd kick with choke and the run ok. I’ll try again tomorrow letting it tick over but fingers crossed we’re good to go... thanks for all you’re advice and help

Both locks? I do t understand, also the slide was s in the groove so it has to be located surley
