If you are going to allow the riders to back-up then timed sections start to make sense, it's the best way to avoid what happened in the past where riders took way too long in the sections. imho If the time is too short for a section, somebody built the section too long, lol electric eyes? ...you can buy a sports stopwatch for about 6 bucks.

You're Out! 😄

Riding partner ran one on Beta, reason for the aftermarket alternative was cost saving saving after a crash damaged the original system, sounded different more throaty (lower tone) and altered the power band slightly not to his liking but it was plenty lightweight and the fit was good. It's not something that will make you win trials events or ride any bigger stuff, like say; new tires, wheel bearings, new fork consumables and a year supply of race fuel might.

If it is a Suzuki part that is exactly how it is done, there is an inside thread immediately around the perimeter of the locking nut and that should be visible on close inspection.

If you have heavy equipment or farm tractors and typically have ISO 46 hydraulic oil on hand that works equal or better to ATF.

👍 In vintage events we use to call them cheater bikes because they could do so much more compared to a 70's TY or Bultaco etc. Gearbox oil is nothing special, as with any the more frequent you change out the clutch/transmission oil the better. For premix I would run full synthetic at lean ratio to keep the exhaust clean. Rotary valve 2-strokes are extremely powerful and about the most common way to destroy one is to not keep the intake air clean, or to over-rev the engine. You don't know what you are missing by not riding in winter ⛄ studded tires are a game changer and can extend your riding season to 10 months of the year 😎

Sparkplugs are designed to fit the cylinder head, long thread plugs are more typical on heads where they need to get past valves. You have the unknown aftermarket cylinder head in hand to measure, we don't. If you want to be rude, end of trying to help the likes,

Normal reach, long reach 🤔 no such thing unless there was only 2 spark plug ever made.

Apologies, opened his post to see what you are working with, strange way to do it. I like the stock compression, not even sure why you would want to lower it, best luck with your mod. ... I would have stuck it in my lathe and shortened the collar, looks like it has a ton of thread engagement, but we can't see what you guys can with one in hand.

If the head needs a longer reach plug that should be easy to measure.

Local hardware store, it's a chainsaw sparkplug. Cheap and easy to source.

Must be why they make 27.5mm hex socket wrenches 🤔

The drain in the bottom of the air box is not the greatest design if you ride deep mud lots they tend to fail.

The thing you don't want is friction modifiers, only use oil or if you must ATF that is designed to work on wet clutch applications suited to the plates you are running be that cork, paper or carbon fibre. The transmission is non filtered so the best oil is the one you are likely to change most often.

Cog it up one or two gears, use the clutch more and fully extend your arms 👍 1st. gear is geared so low there will always be tons of engine braking.

Sounds like you are riding in first gear, 300RR will pull 3rd. Montesa has a slightly more settled suspension compared to the Beta, not as lively suspension but the engine performance should never be lacking.

Tax on trials bike sales sounds like a good way to make hundreds and hundreds of dollars lol

Apparently China doesn't have the engineering or they would not be buying it.

They should start building electric motorcycles in some economically depressed first world country where the domestic currency is only worth 69 cents on the US$

Correct answer is Papa if you can possibly swing it buy a 4RT, it's a current production model bike and infinitely superior bike to own, ride and maintain.

TL lol you should have made it a poll

Looks like a lighter duty bearing compared to what my trials bikes use. In my experience if bearings fly to pieces on removal that is usually because they were left too long before being replaced.

Just a guess that MOT inspection guy will not be able to check the chain guard is secure if it does not have a chain guard.

It's called homologation and if it hasn't come to your country yet it surely will. Third world countries might never adopt it, by our laws you bought a pit bike, perfect for use on private property use or closed course competition where it exists.
