somerset steve

If it has not had any work done on the engine recently i would look at the crank oil seals. They would effect the mixture by sucking air into the crank. This is where i would start.

Come on Dicker, share the results!!! Steve

Hi Dicker. I have a 200 carb you can try on it if you want. You playing this weekend? Steve

Can you send a link to the video \Lee? Steve

Hi Lee. Thank-you for that, i will try a 53 on my rear. How did you get on at the 3Day trial? You back in Germany now? Steve

I have the same problem. Seem to have to do everything in 1st because 2nd is too fast and the engine does not have the power to use any other gear than 1st. Let me know how you get on and i will try as well.

Hi there. (before i leave this H&S dictates i take no responsibility if you singe your eye brows). I would go with the burn out option. If you get it off the bike, take some petrol, fill it then leave it too soak over night. Pour out the petrol, put too one side. Take a lighter and set light to one end. If you have a compressor gently blow down one end, you should have a flame thrower effect out of the other end, you really must do this out side, take great care. When nice and hot give it a couple of good taps with a hammer, the carbon should fall out. Good luck.

Hi All. Just been onto the BVM web site to look at rim lock's and was given lots of different size options. What do i need? I am trying to get my 200 ready for the Exmoor 3 day this weekend coming. Took off my rather warn rear ready to fit my new Michy and found my locks are, well pooped! Any help would be good. Steve.

They are made from HIPS, then vac formed over a GRP mold i took from an origonal. The lugs on the back are nylon, turned down on a laith to match the origonal lugs. The problem i have is bonding the lugs onto the panels. I have used araldite to bond the lugs on however i am not sure the bond is strong enough. I could tap a thread into the lug and have a flush bolt head on the front side. Any ideas??????? I have at the moment got panels made for 240 - 125 and 300. I have made some for my own 200 but have troubles making the clip that goes around the frame. Ta.

Still working on the 200 side panels out of HIPS. Had success with the 240 and 300 side panels. See 240 below.

Would anyone be interested in carbon effect HIPS covers that would slip over the existing side case? I would be able to VAC form over the original side cover and provide a protective outer that would fit straight over the original. This would give protection against all thoes knocks and also make an older cover look sexy again.

Well im not sure if my ridding ability justifies it however i am fead up with the tube tyre rotating during a trial and stressing the tube. It means breaking the bead and farting around with getting it back in position. It wll also mean i can use tubeless tyres and have them fit better.

Hi there. It is from a 93, it has 36 spokes. Steve.

Hi All. I have got hold of a GasGas rim and want to have it laced onto my 200 hub. Anyone know of a wheel builder in the Southwest UK? Also anyone done this and have an idea of the type of spokes i require? Ta. Steve

I have had exactly the same problems as you, bike would start ok but when it gets warm dead as a dodo. Sent my LT coil to West Country Windings, had it back re-wound the same week, it has never missed a stroke since. Cant say the same for the ridder!!!!
