poor people are starting to realise how rich people got rich , why sell a 100 bottles when you can sell just one and then take the rest of the day off. to cheat at golf.

Hello, I do not think anyone can argue with your logic it is just a Trial bike thing , Certain brands of stuff are what make people happy in their world. The main question is why would a person need to spend 8000.00 when they could save themselves 7000.00. https://youtu.be/4TGavmuYCCQ?si=IxjTqoG2zf5EE Start it a 3m 46s for some trials action. There are many people in UK club trials who would struggle to do that on a current 2026 250cc bike..

Sorry to do this but ELF HTX 740 is very well known in the trials community as a for use in wet clutch trials motors , regardless of what it states on the labels .More specifically for use in Honda trials clutches and has also been used by some riders in other brands of trials bikes for many many years.

The losses are more than 11,000 motorcycles and all the spare parts on site have been destroyed . the only thing not destroyed is the production facilities and the admin departments . As there is no where to store anything that is produced / manufactured at this moment , everything is paused and admin staff are working from home until further notice.

Try vvvvvmxyyyyuuuuggj somewhere some place.

Looking at those photographs I cannot see anything . You will just have to trace your steps back until you find the problem .Best wishes Alan.

Welcome to the site in sunny GREAT BRITAIN , AKA ,The UNITED KINGDOM.

Without actually seeing what everything looks like in your build it would be difficult to say , perhaps if you took photos of all the parts as they are ready to be assembled and up load on here , then it may become clear what the cause is.

@Nigel_Mercer I guess that some one put the wrong numbers into the machine on the batch you bought and they somehow ended up for sale.

Just buy a new rim and get the wheel rebuilt, Its the only way its going to be great again.

@ahell For its age I would not call that a dirtbag , considering that it is a trials bike it looks fairly good. In the UK that would have been for sale in that same condition for 2000.00 Euros so you paid well under its real value if you paid 200.00 Euros for it. Lucky you.

Did not see your earlier post saying you pressed it on using some loctite. As that is the case you know what your options are so its a closed case. I am talking to myself of course.

I know who you are and that you are a serious rider on Honda machinery and therefore know what you are talking about but Mitani who have pretty good knowledge of the Honda motors engineering wise reckon this movement can happen in approx 1 year of use. With the amount of torque the motor produces and the abrupt use of clutches in trials sections ,as happens, then an interference fit steel part in a softer aluminium outer part is going to start twisting and enlarging the alloy part in the same way that the rivet holes on the clutch bell elongate in the end and give rise to slop. I am happy to go with Mitanis' view based on engineering.

I think the rules in the UK are very clear. The rule is NO STOP with stop allowed. Watch this years SSDT , a trial that is marked under the no stop allowed rule , and the top riders were stopping and then hopping the back wheel sideways about a foot before setting off again at certain sections .That in my opinion is not stopping , stopping is when you have not moved for more than about 5 minutes which is still not really stopping it is a brief lull. I hope that clarifies the current system. If stopping was stopping Doug Lampkin would have had quite a few more marks than he did along with plenty more of the field of riders. Rolling backwards is OK as long as the observer on duty thinks that it is. Remember , as long as the observer follows his own set of rules and applies them exactly the same to all participants , then it does not really matter what the actual rules are.

Perhaps something like LOCTITE 270 anaerobic permanent adhesive could help or a strong bearing retaining anaerobic adhesive. such as LOCTITE 638
