Pull spring tight to hook over the tab. Should end up with arms straight unlike your yellow squiggle.

Doubt you will want (or be able) to achieve 25mm loaded sag. More in 80-90 range!

All because of YOUR lack of Spanglish interpretation, I went back to verify on mine. It was all out and two clicks in and that is where I set it by feel, so I must be correct!

1- Tight 2- Rings for sag try for 20-25mm static would be about right. 2-3 click range sounds right, but I cannot recall which direction, and the Spanish translation may be incorrect. If so yours will be dead as a doornail!

Is this problem consistant(does it happen every time) or an occasional issue? Seems odd enough, as you describe it. Of course, without knowing the full history of the bike, one never knows if the lever has taken any hard hits that may effect this. Going from a 1-2 shoft to N and 3 is difficult to do, unless the 1-2 shift was incomplete due to a poor enguagement.

You wanted the lightest bike! Live with it!

Yea, seems the later models are more docile, yet can still be a handfull for a novice! All comes down to if you are not comfortable flogging a trials bike, it will flog you! If you are a youthful bad ass, you will have no prob at all!

There is a rose joint in there plus more as I recall. But firstly, the nut and bolt must be tight enough to squeeze the bushes tight to hold them. If goot-n-tight, then likely the rose joint is worn. Here is a pic of the kit from splatshop.

Learn to steer the bike with the pegs, let the bars follow naturally and make corrections, stay centered and no excess bar input unless needed. Let bike lean and move under you. You Must lean to turn, yet body centered and feet in control of balance and steering. Poke the peg to make a move, the bike will respond and the steering will flow.

Actually it just brings out many of the basic skills many are lacking!

Add may go up on the pilot jet!

Prolly not wise to risk all that expensive classic iron on rushing burns! Water ingestion is not what they were designed for! Better safe than sorry! Now Bladilocks, that is another thing! He enjoys a good bog!

It is a torque pig! I would bet you never get over half throttle! You are overbiked!

2 filament bulbs will have two contacts in the socket(add the case for earth), what does yours have? The fact it lights when applying high beam is a bit more disturbing?

Hope you are making the rounds this year, would not be the same without the great vid! Lot of work there!

There is an epoxy metal solid that comes in tube and is two sections of modeling clay consistancy that one kneads together. It is tough stuff and may ground, sanded and painted when hard. May be moulded into any shape, prolly would need to rough up surrounding metal to get some adhesion. Think of using something of ali beer can to maintain inside radius of the form, remove it later. Just thoughts!

Now, that is funny!

Glenn, I would guess I was allways a Beatles fan! Although actually getting to hear them was rare! I think I have told the story before, but my earliest recallection was seeing them on the Ed Sullivan Show, must have been in 1963 as I have looked up. There were twin size beds in my room, and a small B/W tv. I remember bouncing from bed to bed rocking with the Beatles, figure me 5yo at the time. I must have seen the promo ads for the event, snuck upstairs and turned it on, cause no one knew! I think my first records were the Monkeys(when was that TV show), then possibly Jackson 5, and then Beatles Abby Road. I may still have them.

I still like listening to Radio! I do not need XM or Sat, I just listen as I go along. On long trips this can be a cultural journey. I consider an MP3 player a last resort in the absense of outside signals from humanity as I do not like having to supply my own music. That would actually indicate that I chose something! Variety is the spice of life, and I suppose I have a wide spectrum tolerance, growing up in the 1960's, rock was taking off, but I had already been exposed to Big Band and Swing that my parents liked, add Sinatra and such. Country and Western was and is the standard in the South, soo a lot of that as well, yet they were not into it.. I had this transistor radio when I was a kid of 10 or so, and there was this "outlaw" rock and roll station that I found on the dial. That was about '67-'68. There was a lot of cool(odd) music going on back then on AM radio! I was hooked!

Still no trying the jet, eh?

They call it PRO for a reason, nice bike, high strung, high maintenance, high performance. There are a Lot of easier bikes to ride and maintain. Add to learn on!

I guess age is in the mind. We need to cheer Ham up a bit. If you can still do this when you get old, you are doing good. Call it country or whatever, bluegrass is folk art loved by many. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLuwhI-PBxY And you know you are getting there when you start remembering when! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnM99Z6QGZ8

Do not ride any new bikes! You will get bitten!

Pause, Hesitation or STOP? 500 millisecond rule? The time limits will take care of most that, yet I would have likely given him a 5 in the second vid, not because of the pause, but the fact he moved the rear sideways while doing it, and without forward motion. This is a no-no!!!!! I still believe stop for 5 in the harsh sense is too much, and was meant to refer to the obsticles, not the setup on flat ground, yet as stated, a pause on flat ground for a setup with a side hop and no forward effort is too much. In the first vid th creeps ever so slow at times, with hop, for the most I can live with that. M2C

Not to ruin a good birthday wish, cause every one is a good one, But George Jones died today, and I know just how much Wayne appreciates good Kuntry music. So this is the finest rendition I could find to honor George, only a couple years old, and very well done. This song is held as one of the greatest of all time in the world of Kuntry. Wayne will love it!
