a 2stroke bike is perfect for a beginer. There cheeper and for a beginer simpler in the mechanics etc...

hi all I know this isnt strictly on the topic of trials bikes, but my girlfreinds brother has given me his 1999 moldel Kawasaki KX80 to try and sort out. He lent the bike to a mate in the knoledge he was to buy it. Now the bike was run without gearbox oil and now the gear box obviously has issues. The bike will only pull in neutral, any other gear and the gearbox seizes. i have striped it down to have a look at the selector and all is fine there, and this is also how i can tell it only pulls in neutral. If anyone could giva any ideas into what the hell is going on in there before i rip it all apart, i would be extreemly greatfull. many thanks max

hi all im trying to remove the bushes from my rear shock bearing on my rev3. but i just cant see how to get them out? can anyone help? many thanks max

There is a known fault with the 315 that it "pinks" at low revs and under load. This is solved with high octane fuel and a bit of 'jiggery pokery' with the timing. I never botherd with mine in the end as it didnt really bother me. The loss of power i would say has to be a problem with the carb. Possibly the main jet system? or the mixture is wrong. However it is unlikely to be the mixture if it was running ok previously. max

chrisinspain is the plug your running a resistor type?

chears mike good trial, quite hard though, was pleased with my result. why didnt you come? max

The results from the Devonport trial on sunday (30/11/08) at the Old shire horse centre, Dunstone devonport website max

as thespikeyone said; goretex socks are the dogs undercarage!

i was just about to edit my post with the website link. ah well you beat me to it. watch out for the idiot on the beta 125, all he does is fall off Edit: yes thats the one... bit of a quary that you park in. if you drive down the road on the day, you will see the cars and vans parked there. edit edit: just out of intrest, do you ride a old bsa bantam too? max

my friend has the same bike , he recomends silkoline light gear oli. its the best oil thats worked in all my bikes also.

yes i shall be riding this trial. I rode it last year and it was one of the best that year run by the launceston club. its situalted on the darley ford / liskerd road under the carydon mast on the right. it willbe castrol sign posted off of the road. its should be 8 sections 4 laps with the usual routes of, beginer, novice, intermediate, and expert. should be a great day and i hope to see you there.. max

1. remove brake pads, and coat the rear of them with copper grease. 2. run around a flat feild with the brakes fuly on until they are extreemly hot, then drench with water. hope this helps max

hi can anyone tell me the bearing numbers for the lower shock bearing on a rev3? also whats the numbers for the swinging arm bearings and bushes? does any one know the best place to source these? many thanks max

hi all does any one know the standard jetting for a 98 beta techno? or the does anybody know the best jetting for this bike? many thanks max

stator plate? seams common with betas of all ages now.

i would also love an explanation to this as mine does it too! so far i have not been able to find a cure... but when i posted on here, i was told its just someting 125s do.

looking from were the company is based, isnt it just lampkins? i had mine done from them for just

hi all when replacing the pads on the front caliper of my rev 3, some how ive managed to pump one of the pistons until it poped out the piston pushed back in quite freely so im wondering if i need a new piston seal? any one got any ideas? max

bugger sorry thanks mike for pointing it out, that is the main jet. the pilot in mine is a 45, however it has the delorto on it. my guess would to give lampkins a ring and see what they say. max

ive got mine on a 105 with no probs max

what oil are you using and how much? if its semi-synthetic it should be 70:1 if fully synthetic it should be 80:1. what colour is the plug burning? it should be a biscut/ chocolaty colour if not and your useing the right mixture, then its time to fiddle with the carb. doh! just read your origanal post. if it starts without any choke it must be the carb. the bike is running too rich so you need to use the mixture screw to lean it up. max

too rich?

now thats very nice!

the first question to ask is if the gearbox oil is new? if it is you will have to check what type the oil is. if it has really thick gear box oil the clutch will not work properly. take the fille cap off and give it a sniff. if it is foul smelling its probably car gearbox oil. drain it out and replace with silkoline light gear oil its only

hi geabox oil is 500ml of light gear oil. we use silkoline light gear oil with no probs. finding a manuel is hard, i have one for an 1997 wich wont be much differnt, however it is too large to send via e-mail. max
