Could water have got into the crankcase?

Hi All. Been keeping an eye on these forums for a while and finally registered. Been into trials on and off for the last 25 years, but last year got back into it in the form of the Long Distance Trials of which there seems to be a few in this part of the world (Worcestershire, UK). Current mount is a Beta Alp, although a 4RT is very tempting to keep alongside it. I'd be interested to hear from any other LDT riders. Would there be any interest in a forum specifically for LDTs, and one for trials-derived trail bikes like the Alp and Pampera? Administrators: is this a possibility if enough interest shown? Cheers, Ian.

Glad to read there are a few Long Distance Trial enthusiasts contributing to the forum. I currently ride a Beta Alp 200 in LDTs and the ScorpaT-Ride has got me interested as a possible replacement. There's a whole gallery of T-Ride pics here: http://www.scorpa.fr/actualites.php?actu_id=22 One thing of concern is the motor - is it more SY-F or WR? At the end of the video it says 30ch which I presume means 30 horsepower. Does this imply the WR motor? Or does the SY-F make this much? Johns: I'd be interested to see a pic of Montesa's attempt at a trail bike. Clicked on your link but you have to login to the referenced site. Thanks.
