  1. Dear fellow trials riders.

    I am reaching out to ask if anyone could assist or help me in my wee query.

    I have a couple of chips - scratches on one of my stanchions which I want repaired, they have damaged a fork seal so it needs done. Filling and poishing the scratches just doesn't do it for me.

    So does anyone know of any reputable companies or people that repair stanchions? I would also like to get the pair re done with the black nitrite coating as well. I have searched the internet but there is none that do what I am wanting. 

    Original replacements are £360 each stanchion so I would like to think repairing them is going to be cheaper.

    The forks are Paioli from a Beta Evo in case you ask.

    Thanks for any help in advance.

  2. fhtrucker - You have to be in you early teens because I know someone that was just like you... Me ...

    You also don't relies that your posts make you sound more and more like a tit. The SSDT runs on the support of everyone involved be that the committee or spectator and if they ask people not to take their bike round during the event....well just do what they're asking, it is for a reason!

  3. Nope doesn't matter which way round the wires are ( black and black/white Evo 2012 so should be the same). Would just cut all the wires and fit female and male push connector crimps that way you can still have access to disconnect it if need be.

  4. Simple...read the Supplimentary regulations of the SSDT, it's all written down in there.

    Its a no-stop event (ACU - TSR22B) so a stop renders the rider 5 marks lost!

    If you run over a marker or touch it or knock it out, run outside it - result...5!

    Others are 0;1;2;3.....

    Simple when you know how!

    Question for you John

    - What if the rider dabs outside of the marker. Like you said if you run outside it is a 5 witI'vee bike, but i've heard....now let me repeat that forI'vee people... i've heard of observers giving people 5 because they have dabbed outside of the marked route with there feet or other parts of their body.

    Whats your view on this

    As for the Six Days its up to each observer what he marks you. But you would hope at the marks each person "firm but fair" for the whole of the trial.

  5. Lock your handle bars left, twist the throttle to full and then let it go, listen to hear a snap from the carb. Do this on right hand lock as well. If you don't hear the slider snap back then you know its sticking, or the throttle cable could be getting pinched or not seated right. Check where it enters your throttle housing on the handle bars and also where is enters the Carb.

    Would pull out your reeds as well. It one of then is cracked and getstuckuk open this will cause the bike to stay in high rev's

    Hope you sort the problem. But check the easy things first before you strip the bike do.

  6. Me personally I would be getting back in touch with Beta or your importer about this.... on a 2012 bike as well???. Never heard of this happening on a bike about snapping the bolts. On the other hand have heard about rear disc's being broke and snapped and at

  7. Drill a tiny little hole from the inside out on the cover at the bottom ( 2 or 3mm ). But you need to sit the bike flat or leave it leaning against a wall to the right. At the stand is on the left it wouldn't let any water out that is in there.

    All the local lads do this to there bikes and also during the SSDT.

  8. Cost a few million... but that was stumped up by the good old tax payer/government grants. As well as the cycle path and 2 bridges that got put in and for some unknowen reson some cyclalists dont like to use that path.

    Another timed run!!.... never mind that ever day is a timed run and your already sort of it....hahaha

  9. Hey up people, no need to worry about the sections this year I'll be there to plow them for you get rid of all them unwanted stones and boulders for you. Starting to get a bit apprehensive about doing it myself...gulp....auch well here we go.

  10. How's Form.....

    Has anyone had any problems with there rims on there bikes. Just bought a 300 gasgas 4 weeks old never done a trial, just practicing and its out of shape.

    On the other hand my friend has done 2 trials on his bike and its like a banana both the same bikes.

    Is this a common problem with new gas gasses and has anyone had simaler problems. Going to phone gasgas tomorrow and see what they say about it all.

  11. I think I'm right in saying that any dealer can handle the warrantee claim for you. You don't need to go back to the one you bought it from. This is in European law.

    Try phoning Garry at Highland Leisure Sport in Invergordon. That's not 400 miles away. You should have bought from him in the first place given how much support he gives to Scottish trials.

    Good point there Bigfoot. That is why I bought my bike local, cause if you get serious problems your dealer is close by. Also Garry is a good bloke so that helps a lot.

  12. Sun.......... Well there was none today.......or for a very and i mean very short period. Atleast its dry, just think back to last year, ok lets not.

  13. Still think the best way to tell is stick your head out of the window in the morning and look up. If its blue ( I think your still over the limit or tripping out). If its cloudy with no blue stuff in the sky well your in Fort William so grab your waterproofs it going to be peeing doooooon

  14. I would say leave it where it is, it really is the heart of the SSDT. I would say maybe try and sort out the space a little bit better. Even ask the council if you get the car park across from the Nevis centre as an over flow. The BSW saw mill has take over the area where the pulp mill use to be and has a huge space, don
