Bit more from Moto Verte It was learned officially this morning, the company has Scorpa bankruptcy and was placed in receivership in an economic context for the less complex ...

Just heard that Scorpa have gone into liquidation. here Here's a rough translation..... Following the termination of assistance from its main bank, said Scorpa is in liquidation with observation period of six months. Following numerous meetings with its main bank, but not those they have been able to find a positive outcome, the Board of Scorpa was forced to declare insolvency before the Tribunal de Commerce de N

I think the bultacojoan email address is for a guy called Joan Figols..........yes he comes to England to buy twinshocks, but he aint Joan Morro !!!! Hope this helps Martin

I have never managed to reset one this way, as they usually pop the end of the spring out of the kickstart ratchet gear. Unfortunatley you need to take the clutch off and preload the kickstart spring. I have found some diagrams of what you need to do here Cheers Martin

Just found these photos on the French Le Guide Vert Enduro website (merci mon ami's ) Looks like an interesting 4 stroke Sherpa conversion...any guesses as to what they have used? Martin

He was a Speedway pairs World Champion for 2 years running back in the 1970's....was talking to someone earlier in the week who knows all about the bike/owner. Cheers Martin

Presumably, you are talking about this one Having read the desciription about 5 times.....is it being sold by an Ex World Champion ???? If so, who do we think is is.....my guess would be someone originally from Finland !! Martin

Bonjour Frenchie Have you got any idea on dates yet ?? And is there any road work involved ?? Merci Martin

Hi Although you dont mention it, I assume that your forks have the steel preload tubes fitted on top of the springs ?? Martin

Blimey, you must be a Pro....how did you do 50+ trials between April and November when theres only been 23 weekends !!!

Converting a Hiro MX motor to trials use has been done before......take a look at this Fournales mono here Martin

Just spotted this on ebay 340 Bulto For all those observant ones amongst us, its a Mono. Now I think this one may have originated from down in the Wessex centre, as I can remember a local rider who did the conversion using a Fornales air shock from the first model JCM. The bike was tested in TMX by Martin Strang, Geoff Parken and Nibs Kellet. Unless anyone knows different Martin

Seems like Princes William & Harry have given the Royal stamp of approval to off road motorcycle sport with a quick jaunt in the Enduro Africa Video

I think I may be able to help you out with a new piston....see pm. Cheers Martin

Hi All Anyone from the Bristol or Somerset area attending any of the following events ??? The Scott The British championship round at Skyrakes Or the A and B class national on 28th October If you are, do you have space in the van/trailer to deliver a bike.....with a contribution towards fuel costs of course. Let me know. Cheers Martin

Try Dave Renham at In Motion Trials in the UK here Alternatively there are a few dealers in Spain that have TR80 spares here Martin

You can buy them in Spain.........I hope you have won the lottery recently! montesa mudguards Good luck Martin

What petrol/oil mix are you running Frenchie ??? You should be on 50:1 fully synthetic. If you are running a higher fuel/oil ratio (eg 80 or 100:1) you are actually running richer not leaner.....your bike is getting more fuel than air. Stick it back to 50:1 and start looking at the pilot jet circuit if the bike is sluggish picking up. Martin

Cant remember Tim.....it shows the same one in the parts book

Down on page 14.......23 euros Montesa parts Cheers Martin
