Came across this bike a 2014 4rt with exotic wheels, shock and sherco style reverse tank/airbox to get the weight down to 67.6kg http://www.mototrial.it/ And here's where you get the parts http://www.vitititan...moto-trial.html Cheers B

Good stuff! I'm looking forward to loads of piccies and reports... Noticed there are a few vidoes of the press day on Youtube, I do like the look of the standard un with the polished frame.. Cheers B

Hi My 04 has a keihin fitted and it is considered an upgrade, though as the bike had it fitted when I got it I dont know what difference it makes over standard. Makes more top end (in theory) I believe 28 mm bore as oppose to 26mm. The big guns 300cc bikes have em fitted so I think you need the cc to get the best out of em. Mine runs fine though with the keihin Ta B

Is there road work on the Blue Bar wouldnt mind having a crack at it!

Excuse my ignorance but does that mean the various jets have a size stamped on them ?

Thanks for the advice fellas.. Im away with work now so it will be a couple of weeks before i can fettle the bike again!! I'll let you know how I get on Cheers Guy

Hi All, After getting my last bike nicked I managed to get a very clean 04 315r a few months ago. It's got a keihin PWK fitted as oppose to the standard dellorto. I've not been able to get out on it for one reason or another until this weekend ... Anyhow I was itching to finally go for a blast on it !! It started fine (second kick) and ran fine on the choke but as soon as I knocked that off the bike would run for a few seconds then die. If I ran it on the choke it would run for a bit longer then die. The only way to then start it would be to bump it off down a hill. Today I've drained the petrol off (as the bile has been standing) and put a fresh tank in. It now runs a lot better, it will run off the choke but it pinks a bit about quarter throttle and the throttle response is not as sharp and clean off the bottom as my old dellorto quipped bike was. Is the bike running a bit lean (to account for pinking) as when the chokes on my old bike used to race a bit until the choke was knocked off as this one doesnt. If so what do I need to fix the mixture !! I dont have a clue about carbs as I never had to do anything with the dellorto equipped bikes. so any advice om setting up the card is greatly appreciated. I was expecting the bike to be have turned into a rocket ship but thats far from the case. Apart from the keihin issue I'm well chuffed, no clutch drag the engines jewel smooth as is the suspension. Ta Guy

I'd agree with that and a public flogging !! Totally hacked off, thanks for keeping an eye out. The bike was taken from the hummersknot area.

My dads garage was broken into last night and my 04 315 was stolen . It is easy to identify as it had a mitani silencer and sump guard And a few carbon bits on it , fork leg protectors etc Any info gratefully received Thanks Guy

Great VId... I rode this year for the first time! I'll be back next year an all...

Hi Neil, Great photos always enjoy looking through them after a trial... just sent you a pm! Cheers Guy

Thanks steve I'll drop them a mail

Hi All, I've read a lot on the interweb about the new carbon tech reeds and they are available for 315s apparenty. Does anyone know of a supplier in the UK ?? as I cant seem to find one!! Cheers B

Hi Neil, Yep got them now! thanks again., Cheers Guy

Great ! just sent you a PM...

Hey wetfeet, Great pictures, you've managed to catch me twice with feet up (v rare event) A lot nicer day than hags gill just managed to dry out!! Do you do copies at all? Cheers B

I think there's a dyno chart somewhere on todotrial comparing a 315 and 4rt engine, I guess you could probably google it.. 315r produces more torgue and power at low to mid range, 4rt revs higher and has more peak power from what I remember anyway. Never had a go on a 4rt so I cannae compare to my 315 Cheers

Thanks for all the responses folks... I'll try those suggestions out!

Hi all, The side cases on my 315 are a bit scuffed so I was planning on repainting them, can any one recommend a paint they are the silver later types rather than the bronzy coloured ones. Cheers B

Hello All carb/tuning experts!! I've got a Kevlar Airbox cover (Mitani) for my 315 and as its a lot loss restrictive (In theory anyway I'm guessing..) the bike will be getting more air so will be running leans thus the mixture will need richening?? If my presumption is correct how do I go about doing this?? the bike seems to run ok at the moment. Mixture/carbs/jetting has always been a bit of dark art to me, the bikes an 04 BTW Thanks in advance B

Nice job... where did you get the rear fender from!! I like the original long ride seat .. looks like a raleigh chopper!!!

Hi chewy, Whats ur websites URL? B

Hi All, I've put a linkage kit on mine, while I had it all in bits I put one of the service free dog bones on plus a later showa shock off a 4rt, the back end is nice and plush now.. was thinking about footrest hangers but I heard the Raptor and Jitsie (for a 4rt) ones wont fit a 315 as the 315 frame is thicker, so does this mean the only option for 315s are the stock hangers ? ta B

Yep! mint ones go for reasonable money nowadays an 01 went for 2k a few week ago and an unused 04 was on ebay for about 10 mins before it went... Ta B

Thanks for the info... now I know where to take it! Ta B
