Kenda ibex rear tyre?
@RonH . Sorry to see you are confused about the fact that some manufacturers tyres/tires are considered to be grippy enough for them to be the choice of top riders and therefore also a club riders choice , but of course when Toni Bou and other top riders start using Ibex/CST/Pirelli or Mitas tyres/tires then those tyres will be proven to be a serious choice for competition and can be added to the list of confusing choices. Hope that this helps you. Best wishes Alan.

Wtc finished?
Spectators and riders numbers at WTC events do not matter . It is bike sales that are the problem. If NEW bike sale numbers do not go up soon then manufacturers will shut their doors and therefore there will be no world championship to watch.

French site www.trial-club.com Interview with Marc Teissier owner of SHERCO/SCORPA. Watch it on Youtube not the site , on you tube you should get a proper audible spoken translation in good english.

1988 TY250 base gasket
My advice would be to buy a genuine YAMAHA gasket 38V-11351-10 . Yes the gasket should have port cut outs so that fuel flows easily up to the top of the piston from the crank case. and to the crank bearings also.

Beta rev3 2008 rear brake pedal
Hello. If I were in your situation I would fix it. As you are asking for advice as to how to do that then I recommend that you buy a new brake pedal , a new brake pedal pivot bolt and a new brake pedal push pin. Fit these and you will have the foundations for a brake that works. Next thing is to buy a brake fluid vacuum pump that will pull brake fluid through the hose , master ,slave and brake cylinders. When you have done these things Google how to bleed a dirt bike brake system Youtube , and watch that . That's it. Job done and a brake that works .

4rt clutch
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.

4rt clutch
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..

4rt clutch
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.

Honda Montesa Spain factory fire at 05 June 2026
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.

Rebuild problem
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.

GasGas TXT Pro 2010 Main Bearings very tight
@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.

Beta 240 TR34 1988 pure dirt bag.
@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.

Montesa 301 RR Clutch Issues
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.

Montesa 301 RR Clutch Issues
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.

Rolling backwards.
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

2012 TXT PRO 280 clutch “piston” broke
@Guidoxpress Looks like a one -off home made job. You can extract the (screw threaded part ?) that is still in the post of the clutch casing and take both parts to a machine shop and get them to make a replica of the broken part or get a new or second hand casing .

Who has tried a soft clutch support ring?
@F5Dave "They weren't allowed " what is that so outsiders cannot notice that the rising price of fuel is affecting the cost of shipping adversely. Strange days. Have fun. Regards Alan

Who has tried a soft clutch support ring?
@F5Dave Hello , Looks like you are getting somewhere with this now , The reason I suggested the 2007 onwards is because it will be the most likely available as a scrapped bike that will have a 1.5mm thick Belville spring , bearing in mind that this if original has been under pressure for a long time also it will have been used quite a bit and so will be weakened , therefore more like a 1.2mm thick spring . Finding earlier GasGas Pro bikes scrapped is quite easy but the later model PROS' are not being scrapped yet in numbers that make parts cheap. It just widens your search and makes it cheaper by starting with a 2007. If you can find a breaker with a post 2015 that's within budget then you will have what you perhaps require , But bear in mind the TRIALWORLD.ES kit supplies the spring that you already have in your bike as part of their version of the soft clutch kit. . Good luck with your search . I hope it works out and you get the clutch effect you want. Best wishes Alan.
