Modern Sherco ST 250 trials bikes (equipped with Tech or Paioli forks), the typical fork oil capacity is approximately 250cc to 300cc per leg of SAE 5 or SAE 7.5 weight oil. However, it is highly recommended to set the oil level by height (usually 110mm-130mm from the top, compressed, without springs) rather than just volume for accuracy.

Gsinky, I'm 65 and riding trials and just restarted two years ago. Don’t worry about age. I wish I was as young as you. Just relax and enjoy it. There’s a lot of people older than me that still ride.

Edwin, that is an excellent news site. I’ve put it in my favorites. Awesome!

If you smooth the tabs I wouldn’t use a Dremel. They can easily get away from you and you’ll have an uneven surface. Try a file or a sanding block instead. You’ll have much better control.

I’d second that opinion. I’m a small person, also 65, and it was extremely hard to start my Gasgas but after I reduced the compression with a 1mm head spacer the world was much rosier. Replacing the head insert or adding a head spacer will make it much easier to kick over. https://trialssuperstore.com/products/beta-evo-s3-low-compression-head-insert-300?srsltid=AfmBOorOsQLwFqYdzcC2hekw1AWgZSnGvXZNEch3bDhi56zw0dxAfsnV

I believe they’re in the UK. Their website only states where the copyright originated. “registered at Companies House in England and Wales. Registered at CPM House, 10 Works Road, Letchworth Garden City, Hertfordshire, SG6 1LB, UK” it also states that the prices will include “VAT”…so, I’m guessing the UK again.

I highly recommend the Trial Solutions levers and they do fit Beta. You’ll love them!

It’s called Bultaco Bootlace Yellow and you can order it from here: https://www.rsbikepaint.com/oem-matched-motorcycle-paint-colour.php?locale=en-US&rs_colour_order_ref=37337

Yes, it would! It’s standard size just a smaller engine.

It won’t reset. They only let you load a certain amount unless you become a paying member. The other way to load pictures, without the limit, is to use a photo sharing site that stores the photos there instead of on Trials Central. I use Flickr but there’s others. Somewhere on here is a description of how to do it but I always have a hard time finding it. You can also just include a link to the photos for wherever you have them stored. Good luck! I found the direction to uploading photos: https://www.trialscentral.com/forums/topic/43691-posting-photos/

I had a 1974 Yamaha TY 250 when I was a kid and loved it. I’ve been looking for one to restore myself but without much luck. They get snagged before I can get to them. It’s the sound of the engine that I remember most and when I see a video on YouTube with someone riding one around I get all choked up hearing that very unique, quite quiet, popping rhythm. I wish you the best of luck getting your uncle’s Bultaco back into shape. I’ll keep watching for your updates.

Le remplacement des joints d'amortisseur/de fourche Paioli implique le démontage des tubes de fourche, le retrait des anciens joints et l'installation de nouveaux joints (généralement de 35 mm ou 38 mm) à l'aide d'un outil d'insertion. Cette opération nécessite de retirer le bouchon supérieur, de vidanger l'huile, de retirer la vis inférieure et de séparer les tubes par un mouvement de glissement. Les étapes clés comprennent le nettoyage des composants, la lubrification des nouveaux joints et le respect de leur orientation correcte.

Bials, here are a few places that sell TL parts.
