And them things may be overdue for a really good flush and cleaning to get crap out the bottoms!

You might try cleaning the thing first, and figuring out what you got before ordering unneccessary parts. Call Chris at Splatshop for further recco's and verification on UK jetting. I can't come close to running a 33 pilot here on pumpgas with ethanol... It would be week and I would be out of screw to adjust!

Basically by process of elimination! I suppose this is a Leonelli unit? How did troubles start? Disconnect kill button/switch. Spark plug? Is it new? Inspect plug cap connection? Are earths clean and tight on the CDI unit? Do you have a mate with a Sherco to at least possibly swap CDI units? Send it all off to UK Motoplat to be tested?

I gave up on trying to match up springs to proper ratio based upon the website listings as there were just too many possible combinations based upon the dimentions. And with no truely good way to properly measure the rate on the stockers, became next to impossible to sort. Seems the stockers start out at 43-44mm and are compressed down by the screws by 24mm or so giving a to a working height of 20mm or so. And not far off coil bind. Hopefully they can find something in range of 20 light, with the working height in mind. Bit trickey, this!

Some bikes do specify the resistor plug(accept reasons stated) and others not. I tend to agree with the overall easier starting, which also playes along with the somewhat cleaner running at lower revs. Primarily, I would attribute this to the bit more open design of the smaller electrodes along with a more consistant arc placement as compared to a more massive electrode which has someting of a shielding effect. Some truely high performance engines actually index plugs so the electrodes are in a set direction as not to shield themselves from the incoming mixture. In piston aircraft use, it is said the fine wire platinum electrode plugs pay for themselves in fuel economy, being more efficient than the massive electrode counterpart. They are very expensive! And two per hole! The importance of good spark does become more apparent in aircraft use, with two plugs per cyl running off two separate mags for redundancy. On a normal run-up, you kill each mag to see what happens and to tell if the other is working. At a medium power setting, you will normally loose 75-150 rpm, when one or the other is lost.

Should be a damping adjustment screw on the bottom rear. Hard to spot.

You gotta carefully dig out the old one with a pick, as they use epoxy to set them! There is like s brass center spile. Careful not to break it. Takes a bit of time.

Yea, ice and snow mostly gone after today and yesterday, but maybe more by mid week! Last week was horrid!

With the Oko 24, I am currently on a 38/100 combo on the jets. Airscrew currently at 3/4 turn out for the winter running. All I can really say in my subjective opinion is that the Oko just seems a bit smoother in progression than even my well tuned 26 Dellorto, yet ultimate power at WOT seems same or similar. Being a bit better mixing device, seems mor stable in one sense, yet not in another, as you gotts set them for the day a bit. The logical things here are, firstly, for a given mm of movement on the slide, you are opening a smaller hole, making it more progressive. Yet ultimatly, at WOT, I think the carb flows better due to inlet design, so not much loss here.(Like I need to go there much!) Big thing here is as the motor is basically under-carbed a bit, the engine volume and high manifold vacume litreally suck more fuel up once you get it on the needle vs main, so you gotta trim back quite a bit(which is consistant with the guide rule of dropping or increasing main jet size by 10% for each mm decrease or increase of bore). And I could go further, but I like them a bit rich on top!(insurance). All said, it is a bit on edge for the 272cc motor, but works.

Probably biggest thing in insuring rear linkage bearings are clean and well greased. Always best to remove mudguard and air filter to plug hole prior to washing bike. Or at least inspect airbox and filter afterward. Steering head bearings too!

Mummm, a few thoughts here on things you may opt to try. Thick oil--- The Sherco's were originally spec'ed for 40 wt oil. Suppose one could even try 50 wt oil for that matter. The higher viscosity just makes it a bit slower to squeese out from between the plates. Light springs--- Been running mine with two springs out for some time now. So 33% lighter pull. I have come to like it, but seems one has to make the change to light oil(ATF)to make it work decently, as with standard oil the action seems a bit inconsistant and floaty, not to mention seems to slip a bit on a full pop. Seems fine on liight fluid. You might yet ck to see if those Beta springs will fit. I tried to get some specs off you, but you said you could not find originals. Seems the friction plates are the same. The bit older style AJP two finger "shortie" lever actually has a greater length from the pivot point to the sweet spot on the lever, making it more progressive. The Dan Williams clutch mods seem to still apply here. I put a diagonal groove in all the friction pads as well, no stickey clutch after sat since! Oh,did you confirm which carb you have?

Never leave Texas!My link Fooking GS! He need shot!

Good points, not being there it is too hard to say. See what happens and let us know!

That head spacer does look interisting. First I have seen of one. Wonder who he is? And how thick this is? Seems with the design, you gotta paste it on, yet should work I suppose. Not sure I want to do a test on it right now, as mine is fine as is.

I do think a lot of it has to do with the rider. An experienced enduro rider will not find things that have the raging power of a modern enduro bike here, and a good aggressive rider may well take to them right away. One never knows it seems. Yes, the bigger motor can let you be a bit lazy at times, yet it can bite you if you get tired and sloppy! Trials is more a control game, and you gotta figure out wich won is in control, you or the bike. The bikes do come with a toolkit that includes clutch, throttle and brakes. You just gottaa make them work together. Seems to me that the bigger fellows get along better on the bigger bike as well.

So, my take is it makes it worth the dosh for clean title! Just put your numbers on that stolen one, and yer in!

The Queen's Riddle Barack Obama met with the Queen of England . He asked her, "Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient government? Are there any tips you can give to me?" "Well," said the Queen, "the most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people." Obama frowned, and then asked, "But how do I know the people around me are really intelligent?" The Queen took a sip of tea. "Oh, that's easy; you just ask them to answer an intelligent riddle." The Queen pushed a button on her intercom. "Please send Tony Blair in here, would you?" The former Prime Minister, Tony Blair, walked into the room and said, "Yes, your Majesty?" The Queen smiled and said, "Answer me this please, Tony, your mother and father have a child. It is not your brother and it is not your sister. Who is it?" Without pausing for a moment, Tony Blair answered, "That would be me." "Yes! Very good," said the Queen. Obama went back home to ask Joe Biden , his vice president the same question. "Joe, answer this for me. Your mother and your father have a child. It's not your brother and it's not your sister. Who is it?" "I'm not sure," said Biden. "Let me get back to you on that one..." He went to his advisors and asked every one, but none could give him an answer. Finally, he ended up in the men's room and recognized Colin Powell 's shoes in the next stall. Biden asked Powell, "Colin, can you answer this for me? Your mother and father have a child and it's not your brother or your sister. Who is it?" Colin Powell yelled back, "That's easy, it's me!" Biden smiled, and said, "Thanks!" Then, he went back to speak with Obama. "Say, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle. It's Colin Powell!" Obama got up, stomped over to Biden, and angrily yelled into his face, "No, you idiot! It's Tony Blair!" AND THAT MY FRIENDS IS PRECISELY WHAT'S GOING ON IN WASHINGTON D.C.

You see, one thing about the WD seems you can powerwash the chain, apply, then let it set so all the carriers evaporate off. Re apply mid week if needed. I never ride right after spraying it, as it will attract dry dust and dirt, but soo will most anything else. Only time I might re apply when riding would be in a wet muddy trial, so wet that if is does sling off it makes no difference. I do not think the extreme pressure lubrication properties are the best, and the TRI-FLOW may have advantage,yet with similar properties of carrier evaporation. Just seems to last a bit longer. I have used both or either, and I never replace chains. My orig is still on the '07 bike, and only half through the adjustment range and sprockets look fine. I do think one of the big things is to periodically perform a thorough cleaning of the chain to get the dirt and abraisives out of the rollers and links. I simply use mineral spirits in a pan, soak it, brush it, then flog the hellovit a few times till the chain FEELS smooth and not gritty! Slam it on the ground to get the stuff to move! May take a bit! Literally work the gritty abrasive out! Then you can even wire brush any rust off the plates to freshen up. Let the dirt settle out the original pan, pour off the clean solvent for a final rinse and store it for other cleaning uses. Blow the chain dry, then re apply the lube. Bottom line, keep it clean!

A quick readthrough the wikipedia thing indicates: "Puerto Rico, officially the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, is an unincorporated territory of the United States" Aquired as a settlement of the Spanish American war, along with Guam and the Phillipines. Guam is still a similar commonwealth it seems, and the Phillipines went independant. From what I seen, it appears they are officially US citizens, pay taxes, yet cannot vote in US elections, as they have their own government? I think they all speak Spanish as the native language.

Ryan can and will reinforce a lot of basics here with you. It seems to me the SSDT terrain is mostly good fundamental in the rockey stream sections. Surely you have something similar to practice? Just rocks, beat you to death, gotta stay on your line, react quickly, pick your way, steer with the pegs and throttle type stuff. Keep moving, a little floater here and back. If you loose momentum, you may be in trouble. To me , it would be the moors and bogs that would take the toll, so watch and follow the experienced riders.

The 250 is very soft and gentile, like a 200 2T, while the 300 has a lot more torque and power. Depends upon what you want.!!!!!

I run a Camelback ROGUE, which is a medium size, has a couple good pockets for small tools and will carry a decent quantity of water for hot or long outings. Cannot do without! The small ones, just for water, are better than nothing! And weigh nothing!

Simples ass, I had another look! There are islands off the english coast that are not even part of GB? And other crap spread about that I have vever heard of? Never seen a mention of SA? Of course, I do not understand just how we have military bases in Cuba, either? I think we have a couple of outlying colonies as well.

I was basically referring to a US Pro level rider, not a factory rider. They mostly run a production bike, anyway. Nothing too special here although they may change a shock or a carb, rest is mostly just little dressy bits of a pref in bars of choice it seems. Need to keep the Canadian riders in the US expert class for now. Let them have a go at it. And hopefully a good showing. Gives a good idea what they will do with a good rider.

Hummmm, no Pro riders though, pity.
