Went down to Devon on the weekend, as my lad was riding the C+D on Saturday, and my mates lad the A+B Sunday.
Sometime over the weekend, I lost my wallet
With all the excitement of the weekend, I didn't realise till I was back home, then the excitement really took over
Ripped the Sprinter apart looking, checked the bags and the dirty clothes, nothing.
Rang the bank, cancelled my cards and thanked the lord that no withdrawels had been made without my knowledge, and my cash was in my pocket.
Went to work today looking forward to filling out forms for replacement cards and driving licences, when lo and behold a phone call from Exexter police station informed me that my wallet had been handed in, and they would send it recorded delivery back to me.
If you are the person who did this brilliant deed, many many thanks.
This really proves that most Trials pepole are honest and genuine. Thanks whoever you are.
I know this topic has been discussed recently, so please pardon me as I'm not a big forum poster.
I am selling my Repsol 4rt and replacing it with a Beta Evo, I have ridden Steve Saunders new 250 and his 200 and like them both, so much as I have taken the plunge and ordered a 200.
My real concern is I have noticed that the 200 has a mikuni carb instead of the keihin, is this ok or does the bike need the other?
I can't wait to get the new bike but while I'm waiting my brain starts ticking and I'm wondering should I have ordered the 250.
Had an 07 that used to kick back, and was really bad starting when left, the both were caused by overfuelling.
As a rule I found turning off the petrol and leaving the bike running until it would start pulsing [running out of fuel] then hitting the killswitch, to start turn petrol on full choke 1st or 2nd kick away she was, no kickback. Fuel left on seemed to be flooding it.
I moved the stator 5mm back soften power dramaticaly and make the kickstarting easier. I'm sure there is a way of checking the timing on the Sherco website under Waynes help, can't really add to that as have changed camps and now have a 4rt.
The job is quite straight forward, the only problem you may come up against is the 15mm socket to take the autoclutch locknut off. If you have acess to a lathe turn a good quality socket down to fit and airgun the nut off, and be careful with the kickstart assembly.
Mark everything as you dismantle, and evenly tighten the clutch cover on reasembly as the kickstart can bind.
My little un has got a new 50 cadet, he rode it today only for a short time and oil seems to be running from the joint of the silencer to the exhaust, onto the swing arm and onto the floor. Has anybody come across this before, is this a feature of this bike when new? could it be assembly oil or storage oil as there is little smoke.
Will pull exhaust off tomorrow and see if it is coming from the cylinder, but had to ask in case this is normal and will stop through use.
Our son rides an 03 Beta rev 50, we are thinking of changing it for a new bike, has anybody had any experience of the new 50 cadet in comparison to the Beta. Our boy used to ride a txt 50 boy and he says the suspension on that was much softer than his Beta.
One of our TXT 50 boys threw its chain yesterday and annoyingly wrapped itself around the front sprocket twice.Since this catastrophie 1st gear is quite musical and jumpy. Have pulled motor from frame and have started to strip gearbox down, fault seems to only be in first when you turn the sprocket, big notch followed by a lot of slack. Thinking possible stripped tooth. Anyway wondering if anybody can point me towards any parts manuals, workshop manuals etc.
Hi,Got a TXT 50 Boy that will not start, Its got a good spark but the plug doesn't seem to get wet. Replaced head seals and barrel seals, oiled rings on reassembly and it started for a brief moment, cut out and would not restart. Cleaned carb/jets, new plug, new fuel. I'm a mechanic for a living but this is stumping me, I'm thinking possible piston/rings but I'm open to any suggestions as daughter is getting anxious and I don't need to lose anymore hair.
