I agree,fantastic at selling you stuff,when it comes to help and advise.......................................??????????????????????? Just my opinion!

Fancy that,sandifords being unhelpfull!

Rode 225 at Earl Shilton today with a 10t front sprocket (10/42). Much better in my opinion!! Bike is still abit sharp as is new,but is geting better with more hours on it! Regards Benz

Went to Buckland today! Great guy who ownes the land,Nick,but land is too over grown,would need a cople of hours work with a strimmer,but land owner is happy to let the land be used! Earl shilon trial tomo so have that to look forward too!

Thanks for that! Ive been a member for a couple of years now. Im looking for somewhere real close,im self employed and can end uo working lng hours,plus getting to the Earl after work can be a pain due to traffic!! Would be nice to have somewhere close to be able to have and hour or so a couple of times a week!

Im looking for some where to run my new bike in in the Redditch area?? I did the Leamingon Victory road trial earlier in the year and went to some great venues locally,was wondering if one of the kind land owners may let me do some practice??? Message me if any one knows of anywhere or some one i could ask,willing to pay to use land. Cheers Benz

Cheers Rich, My mate had some tuition from you at the last training day at earl shilton i think? He really enjoyed it!!!! Ive rode earl shilton a few times,and have beenin the top 2 or 3 in the yellow route,sowill be interesting to see how 225 goes there,and yes ill stick with keihin for a while,but will try 10/42 this weekend :-) Benz

Thanks for your comments guys! Im going to try 10/42 this weekend at earl shilton,leaving the keihin on,only want to make one change at a time! Keihin is jetted as 125,or at least as Kev recommended,48 piolot,125 main,jhh needle middle clip,air screw one turn out. As i mention,the carburation was floorless,just a little too fast for my liking,at the moment anyway! OFF TOPIC, RICH hows the Raga 250 now??? Cheers Benz

Cheers Rich. Do you remember what jetting you ran with your keihin,plus did you ever run it with th delorto? I remember reading that you put a 9 on the front and you said it transformed it,can you tell me how and why?? Thanks again mate!

Rode 225 again today in a great road trial! Must admit i think i have lost my way a little..................????????????????? I tried a Kehin carb on it for today,wow did it transform the response!!!! Problem is its like a rocket now off the throttle,response is i would say too fast,carbrates really clean all the way thru range,just pulls really strong and revs up really quick,too fast for my liking!!! Made it real hard to control on rocky stream climbs. So,im not to sure what to do,...................The engine is still tight a new,only 8 hours on it at the moment,so this combined with the super response of the keihin may not help? Also the gearing may be too low,all revs and no action if you know what i mean! So im thinking of going back to the Dellorto until i have in excess of 25-30 hours on her,then try the keihin,also thinking of going to 10/42?? Just thought i would let you know my findings. Benz

Gasgas will build one for you if you buy a new bike,they start with a 125. Benz

Yep Express signs,they are CRAP!! Will come off instantly when you was bike for the first time with them on. Paper thin!! Complete tosh!

The gearing seemed good,was going to try a 10 after the trial but did not get time. I think the 9 suits,although the capacity has increased the stroke is still short as its the 125 crank.so she revs up quick,but controllable. The 125s run 9/48 so 9/42 is quite a increase in the gearing,plus this is what Factory Kevs uses,and another good expert rider i have spoken to said that when he went from 10 to a 9 it transformed the bike?? Got a good road trial on it this weekend so will have more info then. Plus im planning to try a Keihin carb next???? Benz

Does the rattle go when you pull the clutch in??? Benz

Yes i use a gasgas flywheel cover spacer. Benz

Gasgas machined and then welded two together for me. Then just shrink fit as you do with one,but i added a couple of spot welds to hold them onto flywheel to be safe. Benz

Rode my new 225 for the first time today...........................WOW! Really great fun bike to ride with loads of power and really soft off the bottom,bike feels light and much more agile and stable due to less engine inertia! Three other guys rode it,an expert champion,clubman tip rider and a younger guy who has a 125,everyone loved it and did not want to get off it. Spec i ended up running..................... Gearing 9/42 Dellorto carb with 125 jetting short front pipe two 125 flywheel weights Benz

Sounds like you have an air leek,or in other words ,the engine is getting air from somewhere else than the carb. Most common place is ignition side crank case oil seal,remove cover and check for oil in the ignition area,you may have to remove rotos and stator to be sure. Other area to check is reed block for sealing. Benz.

Are both you guys using Kiehin carbs or standard? Im on my way,have now fitted a 125 engine into my 7 month old 08 chassis,going to run as 125 for a couple of trials to get abench mark then change to 225! Done my first trial today as a 125,what a fun bike to ride,does not tire you and does not drag you thru the section if you get it wrong!! Really keen for 225 now!!! Benz

Hi,as long as it is a pro engine then the cylinders are interchangeable right up to current model! Benz

Thanks for that,have you got the 08 demo from Gasgas?

Just wondering how many 225 conversions there are out there and how people are finding them?? Be interesting to know what year bikes have been used ect ect? Cheers!

Hi, Im in Redditch,Worcestershire. Im being cheeky really and asking if any one has a 2008 Scorpa 4 stroke locally that i could have a ride of as am thinking of getting one!? Fingers crossed!! Benz
