Thanks again. The socket in the bottom plug was stripped but I managed to get it out. I was finally able to download the parts list and see that there should be a "spring" inside the air filter. Do you know if this is a plastic part or something steel that could be made from a coat hanger? I can see that it could use something to hold it open.

That brings me back to the original question. Where do I get one of the Aluminium skid plates to start with? Thanks!

That is a beautiful skid plate. I have been trying to figure out how to make one like that but is seems none too easy. I have heard you can get Aluminium 6061 T0 that is pretty easy to work. It also seems like a hydraulic press with some type of wood forming dies may do the trick but it is still unclear to me. I'm a fair machinist but have no sheet metal experience. Can you let me in on the secret? How do you get alll of those shapely curves in 1/4" Aluminium?

Thanks for all of the info but I have syill another question. Where do you drain the oil from? There is a hole in the skid plate around something that looks like a socket head bolt (maybe mine is stripped) Plus there is a hex head bolt under the water pump. Which one is it?

Are aluminium skid plates still available for a Reflex (TLR200). I would like one like those on the TLR250.

Thanks! Do you know what plug is recommended. I thought all trials bikes used a BPR5ES but this bike has a BPR7ES plug in it.

Can someone tell me the correct fluids and capacities for a '97 techno? Crankcase oil & volume.....fork oil and volume(s)

Where can I get a wiring diagram and parts list for a '97 Techno? I tried the link in this thread but is does not work. Thanks

Does anyone know how much a TY175 weighs (without lights)? Is it comparable to an early 90s Gas Gas?

Thanks! Beta Techno sounds closer in size. I wonder why they do not list the Sherco.

I checked the Boyesen site and they show no 565 but do have a 656 for the following.

I would think 125MX reeds would be much bigger. Thanks

Does anyone have a Boyseen part number for a 2002 2.9? I contacted them by e-mail but they just suggested tracing the existing ones and sending the trace in for a match. I really liked what their reeds did for my old Gas Gas.

Our local state run OHV park has seperate motorcycle and 4wd areas (CA) The park officials and 4wd groups have agreed to allow trials bikes in the 4wd area but do not want the MXers in there. The difficult part is how to designate the area for 4wd and trials only. Enforcement could be a major issue. Does anything like this exist elsewhere? How is it handled? (So far, Trials specific tires seem to be the best choice.)
