  1. I know how you feel , Its nicer to have the proper parts but these days so many old bikes are being renovated around the globe that there seems to be less and less genuine parts available , and if you find something the opportunists are selling at ridiculous prices. Luckily its not gearbox parts etc that you want. Hope you find the actual parts. Regards Alan.
  2. Make one out of plumbing parts etc super glue silicone sealant and jubilee clips will help , Auto radiator hose etc etc , Duck tape, use reticulated foam in the right places near an airbox to fend off mud and water splashes .
  3. If t was me in your situation , I would be changing the oil and putting something different in to see if it altered the clutches operation. There are plenty to try out from 10w30 Mineral Transoil to ELF HTX 740 or PUTOLINE N-TECH TRANS GP , or GP10 , NILsl Clutch Trial Racing. and a few more on top. Different oils can give different clutch action. Have your clutch in bits and improve it with a bit of file work etc check everything is how it should be.. Did you thrash it while slipping the clutch in a high gear to punish it for its non compliance perhaps that may help what you describe sounds like the perfect clutch for a WTC rider it may be designed to behave that way . Good luck in your quest. Regards Alan.

    tlr-evolution.co.uk email: gary@tlr-evolution.co.uk. Trial Tube have a video titled Trial Tube Best TLR's you have ever seen ! - Classic Bike Reveiw . That is if you have not seen it already of course. TY Off-Road built one of those TLR's with an alloy swing arm and it has a TLR 250 brake drum . TY Off-Road is now TLR- Evolution same people who built the bike I just mentioned .
  5. You need the old out of production ALPINE STARS NO STOP BOOTS I would recommend going for 1 or 2 sizes bigger for toe comfort if you find some on ebay ...... they come on fairly regularly normally almost new in condition in the UK . The soles are not very flexible compared to other boots.

    This bike is based on a 125 frame , the 125 was a very popular TY version in France as it was a road going Trial motorcycle , the frame had a lot of extra weight because it carried lots of extra lugs and brackets to take all the street bike rubbish like indicators , ignition switches ,battery etc unlike the much lighter competition version that the TY175 was/is . Here is some inspiration if you want to take ownership further. https://youtu.be/b2fMtHB2bv0?si=EsqKQCv7u5ZNV
  7. The only setting I have for the pre TXT PRO motors is 2.7mm before BTDC.
  8. Usually they have fixed settings. The stator and the pickup up mounting holes have holes they are not slotted but a previous owner could have filed them to give some movement for their own modifications , some people love to fiddle of course.
  9. @Nigel_Mercer https://youtu.be/MtgZ-vEmIw4?si=Hue5PZ3ZEVzoz NB As per video "The new LOW FRICTION bearings.".
  10. I take it you don't trust their claims. Not really surprising I suppose in a world of lies/liars. Its made in the usa by an american company so its got be your first choice really. Regards Alan
  11. Off-road TTR motor is the best option, but will be hard to find cheap . Street bike YBR motor swill be the same fit as the TY but easier to find second hand /used and cheaper.

    The world doesn't hate Americans like you konrad.

    Perhaps because you had something repaired outside of your country , your customs are the ones that charged you , if you had them repaired under guarantee you may not have to pay . it would have got stuck in UK Customs because there is only one person who works there . If tariffs haven't affected you personally its probably because you are wealthy enough to not care about increasing prices . As far as I am aware tariffs have impacted the World economy but I am not an Economist so it could just be propaganda . In a world full of liars who knows.
  14. Hello . Modern genuine manufacturer spark plugs work very well, if you go to BETA UK website and search parts for your bike the plug that is listed as part # 2 is a BR7 ES that is it ,the end of your search . No other plug is going to be significantly better than an NGK plug and a BR7 ES is the plug for your bike . 3 different sources state that it is. So you have a choice with NGK of a standard BR7 ES or the same sized plug but with an iridium tip known as a BR7 EIX which is the anti fouling version of the plug but costs around £15 compared to approx £5 for the standard version .The EIX version will not increase horse power just supposedly it will give a brighter spark helping the motor to run better. Enjoy your bike. Regards Alan.

    Give him 10,000% anything is possible. 🤑

    Would not touch his pocket though .Tariffs are never passed onto the buyer, importers and exporters just suck it up. it works just like minimum wage increases so nothing to worry about.
  17. Tr1AL replied to mcman56's topic in Montesa
    You are just one of those types who makes everything straight forward and easy , why would any one want to do that when he can search for and then fit the full Scavini system at a cost of $550.00 , buy the HRC programmable ECU for $2000.00 buy the cables and software for $1000.00 after searching for it for a year and then get Rick Wakeman to play it all until it sounds right . I just don't get it.
  18. The sellers on ebay say your bike uses a BR7 ES I would go with what ebay says. Forget what Lampkin BETA UK says what would they know.
  19. NGK site says none of the plugs you quoted are compatible with your bike LOL. What a ridiculous world.
  20. Do you not mean a BPR7ES same long reach plug but the resistor type.
  21. Tr1AL replied to mcman56's topic in Montesa
    You have not hijacked anything what you are talking about relates to what mick mcmanus is wanting resolved.
  22. Tr1AL replied to mcman56's topic in Montesa
    Did you read the SCALVINI system discussion that jrsunt put on , It sounds like it will give you what you are wanting or are you on a low budget.
  23. Tr1AL replied to mcman56's topic in Montesa
    hanson racing on Facebook sold one on their ebay shop UK for around £450.00.
  24. Tr1AL replied to mcman56's topic in Montesa
    If you want less performance to soften response you need a wider bore pipe not a smaller one , this decreases back pressure and therefore lessen low end torque that makes for instant action off the bottom. Its complicated on a four stroke motor. I would recommend you read up on it before trying any amateur tuning tweeks. Honda 4rt with a BETA 4t motor grafted in? Send a message to BANYERES perhaps he may have something to help you get what you want.
  25. How lucky we are to have the internet and people who know how to use it. konrad is the man for the job every time. Hope it does the job.
