hop blip and a jump

We tried to change the oil on my friends 2000 model sherco 290 the other day and could'nt find the drain plug???? Wheres it hiding too?? We ended up taking the clutch cover off and putting the bike on its side to drain the oil!!!!

I did ok, 580 odd starters and i came 171st and did 12 laps not bad for the fist time i ever rode on sand!!

Perhaps it could do with a master cylinder repair kit to sort the brake "approx

That blue and white with the black and silver graphic looks realy good!! Nice one!

A friend of mine bought a wes silencer for his 4rt and it sounds much sweeter, and has got rid of the eardrum bleeding bark that it had when he first had it!!

Aaarrr!!! You beast, hope it comes next week!! I'm back on the Garelli tommorow!!

The best puppys just bounce and jiggle about!!!!!!

nice one bruvva! You out tommorow??

I'm still waiting for my 08' 250f, anyone else had one yet???

I can start my ktm 640 4 banger , knock the choke of after about 15 seconds and she'll run like a puppy!!

and mine!!! It might be easier to use dynamite to blow the carb off next time!!

What a cool bit of kit!! Nice one

I had been told about this a few years ago by a petrol station owner, and he said he earns his money from everything else he sells in the garage like food, sweets, etc and not a lot from the fuel. Looks like the taxman wins again!!

I know what you mean ask a simple question and some people go into meltdown!!

When i started this post i just wanted to say that i think it's a joke how much money that goes to the taxman compared to what the oil companies get, who are doing all the graft to supply us the juice!!! So yes about 35p to the oil companies And about 72p to the goverment!!!! from each litre. Now thats just a hardcore scam they are getting away with, and we are the suckers thats gotta pay up!!!

Well everyone knows about the hot start trouble with the 05 sherco 320's which has been sorted on the new ones, but theres not that many people out there yet with 320's yet to find any other faults. Same with the beta rev4's they only sent about 40-50 bikes out for 07 so not many faults have shown up yet. As for scorpas tell me of a fault and i'd listen, i have'nt heard of any yet!!! By the way i'm riding a rev3 at the moment and you haven't heard me grizzle about turning my petrol tap off every time i turn the engine off!!! when you know about the niggly things you just adapt to the fault!! We all know that there are far more 4rt's out there than any other 4 stroke trials bike , so is'nt it obvious that more faults will arrise than compared to other brands because they've been out there longer....! does'nt take a genius does it!!

muppet!! "windlestone" If you read the first post i posted i mentioned the rev4 aswell i only mentioned the fault i'd been told about with the 4rt is because it's a real fault not some bull that i made up!! i posted in the fourstroke forum because they are a more complex motor than a 2 stroke which means more parts = more parts to break. Most of the faults on the 2 strokes everyone knows about by now, like betas - carb flooding + stators, gasser pros - crap airboxes, etc The reason i bought the scorpa is that, if the engine can take the abuse that a MX bike dishes out, life in a trials bike will be easy for it and build quality and reliability on the scorpa is as good as anything else on offer. I can't believe how stroppy some people get when they here something they don't like! if you was thinking of buying a bike would'nt you like to be able to find out if there are any problems with that bike before you shell out your hard earned!! I know modern trials bikes are very good these days but mechanical things can break who ever makes them!!

it's not a rumour , it's a fact!! Bikes break and thats that!! it's nice to here from people like woody who just remind you to give them a proper kick to save any problems!! If i wanted to start a rumour i could have posted that dougie was signing to ride for xispa in 08!!! !!!!

it's just like the prices of LPG you could buy that a year or so ago for 28p a litre now it's more like 42p most places. And a gas converted vehicle supposidly gives out no C02 gasses but they are puting that up just because they can!!

It iratates me that we don't stick up for ourselves in this country we just put up with it because if we do play up they'll try and put us in clink!!! What are they gonna do if the majority of the country decide to do as the French do and stick up for ourselves??? Imagine if we all didn't buy any fuel for 2 days, they'd take a bit of notice then! They are just takin the p*** out of us!! "sorry andy"

I was also told by the dude who was repairing the 4rt with the broken engine case that the cases are matched pairs and you've got to buy new ones as a pair??? hope thats not true!!! Sounds expensive.

mmmm sucking all that air in cycling!! Just wait till they start taxing us for breathing!!

From what i've been told about 35p from each litre goes to the oil companies and the rest goes to the TAX MAN!!!! Isn't he part of the goverment, and isnt it the goverment who is taking the tax!!! Dabster do you work for them???

I can't believe the stinkin price of fuel at the moment!!! It just sucks, why we put up with this from our goverment just amazes me. Do we think it's fine to let the stinkin goverment screw us till we're bancrupt local price for diesel for me is

heard similar story a few times!!! Urban legend !! Still funny!
