What an amazingly unhelpful thread of answers. highlights all that is wrong with forums. You'll get a multitude of answers all of differing opinion and still be scratching your head. Best bet, check with your trusted dealer Guess it depends on what bike you have and how old. For my tuppence worth, if a modern bike then draining fuel and cleaning carb after each ride is time consuming, expensive and most importantly pointless as well as you running the risk of not putting back as was - needle in wrong place, knock the floats etc etc Fuel will be fine if you use good fuel and good oil - if not using good fuel / oil then safe to assume skimping on other areas of bike and maintenance Carb is a a sealed unit - i.e. nothing can get in or out - all you do by removing it and cleaning it is break that seal and risk contamination. If bike running fine you can be pretty bloody sure that the fuel and carb are fine. I'll bet you those that have carb issues are those that constantly have it on and off.. Running your bike dry wont actually get all the fuel out of the carb either so largely a pointless and ancient practice (IMO). If you know what you're doing, have the time, space and equipment and know all your carb settings then I guess you wont really do any harm constantly stripping, cleaning, rebuilding and reinstalling. If not and bike runs well you're potentially creating a problem where one did not exist.

So whatever Jotagas are doing this season it looks like they have some funds somewhere with Oriol Noguera signing to ride Trial GP with them. Interesting choice of rider for them. Seems to hot and cold and not exactly high profile. Be good to see what he / the bike does.

I still cant see season pass... Only individual passes.

As I understand it an electric trials bike does not need separate insurance as it should be insured under the house insurance - same as a push bike etc. Only motor vehicles need their own insurance. You obviously need to notify your house insurer of the Oset - detail, value etc. That's all I did with my sons Mecatecno.

Don't buy that at all. If a rider is good enough they'll get support from the factory.

Errrr dont they look identical to the normal TRS ONE and RR?? Just look at one of them and mentally change the 250/280/300 sticker to 125 and kablammo you've seen one

Yea my son does this. I noticed it and tried to 'correct' him but he just reverts as soon as he stops thinking. Now leave him to it.. evolution of trials?

Think it’s a great move by Vertigo. Technically he’s a phenomenal rider. Lacks some finesse and (I think) endurance on trial GP day but that will come in the next couple of years. Think he (or maybe Gelabert) could be the one that runs Busto close in a few years when Bou, Raga, Fuji, Cabes, Fajardo go.

I’d imagine that he'll ride Gas Gas till 31st December unless they cancel his contract. Sure he’s already sorted for 2018 and sure it’ll be Beta.

Grattarola looks dead cert to go to HRC in some capacity. You’d think that leaves Dibs at Beta or Sherco then

Kadlec staying GG next season. 3 in the top 10 of Trial GP

Agreed. Think Busto next world champ but Bou seems unbeatable for next 2-3 years UNLESS Busto has the same impact on Gas Gas that Bou had when he arrived at Montesa. Bou and Raga head an shoulders above for a good couple of years if they stay injury free

Strong Gas Gas team either way... Busto almost certainly the next World Champion after Bou and got a strong experienced teammate in Fajardo

Fajardo's a done deal. He's posted on Instagram. Busto not sure?? Sherco maybe stick with Gelabert as number 1?

Wow.. cheers Andy. Retired too? Or just leaving Sherco?

Dont think he has. Lluis Gallach has left as minder and Paxau retiring from 'frontline' Trial GP duty

Saw the Cabestany thing... Think the change within the team. Lluis Gallach is moving on from being number 1 minder and his dad is moving back in. Paxau is retiring from the front line of it all. Cabes will stay with Sherco though

Similar to Dabster.. been told it’s done - Fajardo and Busto Dibs - not sure. Beta I assume

I’d assume that, like most riders, he’d be contracted for the year e.g. 31st december. As such he’ll still be HRC till then. Grattarola posting pics with Fuji and Honda too.. not new ones but with Honda’s

More pics online from ‘team HRC’ Bou ✅ Fuji ✅ Busto ❌

Looks like a done deal. Fajardo and Busto signed apparently

Shame if Dabill not there 2018. Like a few others I think Dibs has been at his absolute best on the Gas Gas - great if they could keep him but seems improbable IF Fajardo / Busto happens. Also got Grattarola and Kadlec in Trial GP supported by Gas Gas so cant see them having 5 in top 10-12 Also got Chatagno in Trial 2 who could/should be Trial 2 champion in 2018 as well as Dan/Jack Peace and Pederson all being supported to some extent by the factory - even if just bike / bits and not travel / wages etc its still a fair expense I'd imagine

If the rumours are true Gas Gas will be boosting their Trial GP ranks with both Busto and Fajardo for 2018 not confirmed officially yet, but that's what being mentioned

I'd guess, not very long.. Seen a few bits on social media in last week or so with some of the supported youth riders on them. Maybe waiting for Milan show as will probably launch new RR there so maybe do 125 RR initially in new 2018 colours
