You have the right idea Jay, it is just that during the trial the O#2 keeps coming out the other end for me! Usually they throw in the blind observers when I ride, as all they have to do is listen to how many O#2's and they automacally know how to punch the card! I think it is time to get Ishy's 3.2 motor into a ITSA Majesty frame !

Yes, except for maybe the 50cc bikes!

Classic!

WoW, that's a nice one! Can you steal one for me Brian? After the election, of course! I tend to run a bit closer to the "King of the Hill" mode, myself! Gee, maybe i could do something like that! You never meet any gay lesbian homosexual tree hugging lazy ass wipes named COPE, do you? A trials bike in every garage! A trial every weekend with free beer! If you don't like the Star Spangled Banner and the prayer before the event, get the hell out of town! And take your Obama loving nose ringed tattooed assed kids with you!

Your stickers have no treads! You must have treads! You have none! No treads! You cannot ride trials without treads! You cannot have stickers without treads! Wot frigin 500CR riding is not about treads! You should have them! We all want them! Get off the bum and get some treads!

Hopefully not while riding!

Thats just Kimbles, Mizells minder, he always rides that way! Send him the bill. On this forum its Tesamon! Give him the bill for damages on a PM! Screw him, he sucks, we are arch enema'ss Ha!

Does it R-U-N? Btw, if it works I may send you a custom "O#2" sticker! You do know what #2 is, don't you?

One other observation on the Sherco as compared to other bikes, and I would like comments on this as feedback. Even beginning with the (chrome) bikes, the front end would seem to push out on cambers. With the latter(black) framed bikes, this tendency seems reduced with a changed geometry, yet the maximum steering angles reduced by limited motion. The Scorpa seems to have LOTS of turning radius, as well as the others by comparison, yet many bikes seem to "tuck under" as well at maximum, and want to skid or put you over the bars! To an extent here, the answer is written by those who are more able to move the rear wheel at will, which seems I can sometimes do, except during a trial! A look at Caby's bike at the WTC revealed a totally different set of Pailoi's, with the tubes dropped soo far that the caps had to be ground off to clear the bars! Point being, there has to be a balance here, where is it? May well vary by rider! I can still usually bang off the stops and not get in trouble in most conditions, once again, a tradeoff it seems, yet if you have ever tucked on a downhill and got spat off onto your head, well? Say your thoughts!

Funny you say that, as I had seen some shocks off at the WTC event, same question came to mind. Maybe it is not just me after all?

I seem to recall the '02 having the most advanced factory setting at around 3mm btdc on the piston. One could easily move the backing plate 6-8mm counter on one of these without problem I would think! I never owned a '02, just a '01 and '03. But I did ride one from new. First thing I noticed was the kickback and easy stalling, but ran like a bandit!

Not me! I started to ask if he made the long ones in Black only?

Lets see, cannot boot in safe mode Cannot get to sys restore, u maybe totally (foxtrot uniform) Do you have a restore disk? I know on my old Dell, the restore disk will reinstall the OS pretty much without disturbing other programs and files if you do not do a clean install(reformat). The other (more risky) option that comes to mind is installing your drive in another computer as a secondary to see if you can find your files and transfer what you want to save before you dish your old drive. But this is more risky if your old drive is infected as both could crash! I think! Maybe! Uh! Other thoughts?

13cm? By golly, that is the same length as mine!

Aye, I just knew you had some good ones! Atomant, send money for prints!

No doubt, Steve, as the new bikes do look really good that are coming out of GG. Not trying to get into any bashing here, but there are just a few things with the Gassers I just cannot seem to get my head around and come to peace with as compared to all others(what I would call conventional bikes). The shift lever and gearbox operation are, lets just say unique. So it the kickstart, probably much easier on the 125 though. Too much engine mechanical thrashing noise. And for some odd reason, no two of the clutches have ever really felt the same to me? Maybe it is just me, daft, I'm not a Pro, cannot adjust, just too old, hard headed, screwed up! I don't even think I have ever said that the Sherco is the best bike out there either. They do seem to have a very good balance going in the tradeoffs of weight, handling, reliability, performance and ease of maintenance. I suppose that if money grew on trees you could have a Sherco with a Showa or Marzzocci front, an Ohlins rear and things like that. Oh well! As we seem to be coming into the age of the $ 8-10,000 four bangers, my old 2T is still looking pretty good!

Yes, by who not sure? Back to factory?

When i had the 125 Sherco for the wife, I put her on a 125 Scorps long ride with the seat, thinking she may well like it. She came back a while later stating what a heavy pig it was! Oh well! Yet I have seen master riders clean every section on them, something I could never do, but maybe the bigger displacements are better I would think!

You really need to rev then POP fully, takes commitment as you unload and pop to get verticle and lift off! What you did was just a "blip" and nor even a "zap". Kicker! That is a near perfect wall to practice a zap on too!

I know you guys picked up on this, but the "roll your own" part seems to fit the club level events well and sounds like real fun! I hope to do one of these, after summer is over, just too hot now! The "roll your own " could be extended to other sites (tish) as well! no prob!

It is all the same gear with the 2 vs 4! So things may continue to change, but what? And for what riders? And at what cost? A magnesium "raga" style bike , or a titanium combo, via Montesa factory? How deep is the wallet? As far as the motor goes, it is still mostly bulletproof, and light! That is why Xispa copied it as it is the model of near perfection without the unsuitable aspects of the GasGas pro.\ If there was a perfect bike out there everyone would have one! I do wish there was a bit better fit and finish in consistancy in the production. Things that fit on one bike do not fit on another and so fourth. Each is unique! That is why they do not sell you a mudguard with the holes pre-drilled! You have to fit things! And the variences really p*** me off! In this day, there is no excuse for being off by 3-5mm in anything in alignment.

19mm with the carb held at a 45 degree angle

Hard to learn without a kicker! Too late on the throttle and the lift i think! Not enough revs to cary you up(on the flywheel). And the front should not touch the rock. Only thing to touch is the rear!

Funny you say that, as I was driving a SRT-4 Neon today that was a little jacked up. This is just nuts! 350 ponies in a front whel drive POS! Scarey at best, but fast! Need a bit of AWD propulsion to keep that thing from departing the course!
