With my first Trials bike I used a full face helmet. Bit of a gap riding other bikes and I've bought a 1/2 face helmet for Trials. Its weird, but I swear I can breathe easier in it. Maybe as your stale breathe doesn't get recirculated? Maybe I should get more fit and become younger?

With new batteries there doesn't seem to be any weight disadvantage at all. Could consider another GG, but I'd have to pretend it wasn't ktm owned as I still have my EC300 GG in the fleet. And EFI hasn't proved itself a match for the humble pwk keihin so far.

Only started recently but bought 2 bikes inside 2 days by, erm accident, or overexcitment, or moon phasing. Have a Beta 08 Rev3, and GG TXT250 14. I love the GG for its power and handling, the Beta is good in a different way, but its age doesn't help. The GG is a 2 kick bike minimum but the Beta is a Swine. I'm keeping it to get others interested but I have to start it for them. 3" long lever on the left! Who thought that was a good idea? My Beta dirtbike on the other hand doesn't have a kickstart XTrainer button only) . And its brilliant. On a Trials bike, ride to next section. Stop bike. Walk section often on hill. Walk back. Kick kick, pant pant. A button would be nice. Never thought that I needed one on a dirtbike but you dont know what you are missing till you get it. . . And then next bike doesn't have it. So obviously TRS now have. I got all excited about a new bike. Like a new one. Just concerned with reports of heavy light switch clutch and possibly raked out front that can push. So my next thought: will Beta, GG or say Vertigo go electric next year? Thoughts? Predictions? Banal banter?

I was out on my TXT today so might try the same thing. Want to get both bikes out and compare.

Hiya. People are still finding this thread. Light switch to normal after mod. Thanks. I've fettled and modified all sorts of clutches, but never considered the fingers on the plates would be as touchy as the Beta ones. 2008 Rev Btw. Thanks.
