  3. Scorpa 2010 - Check Them Out

    in Scorpa

    Posted · Edited by Christoff

    WOW.

    What a fantastic job they have done to get the Sherco engine in the old Scorpa chassis in such a short space of time. Looks like it is a bit further back in the frame than the old Yamaha LUMP. So it should ride a lot better and more like a normal bike.

    After having 2 SY's and never getting to grips with them I vowed never to get one again. But im very tempted now. Love the orange as well. Cant wait to blag a ride on one.

    Anyone know if they are going to do a 125 2 stroke?

    Is Birkett still importing them?

  5. Haven Clutch

    Hi

    I tried them and didnt find them that much better.

    Had best results with standard plates and remove 2 (take out opposites) of the pressure springs and just run 4.

    The reduced pressure makes the clutch much easier to control and less on - off.

    The only downside is that you can get a little slippage at high throttle openings on the road and if wanting to be fast accross the moors.

    Worked for me for over 2 years with no real problems

  6. Rear Tyres

    in Bultaco

    Posted

    I tried a Mitas 4.10 a while ago. The 4.10 is not a radial tire like the Mitas 4.00 or any other modern make, its a good old fashioned crossply. It appeared to be exactly the same size as a normal 4.00 trials tire but completely lacked grip on rocks. Not too bad on mud though. A secondhand Dunlop or Michelin would be far better all round.

    If you really feel the need for a new cheap tire, the latest Vee Rubber tires are pretty good and reasonably cheap. I have fitted a front one to my bike and honestly cant tell any difference between it and the Michelin I took off. But it cost half as much.

  8. Trials Bike In A Saxo?

    Hi

    I managed to get a fantic 307 in a Peugeot 206 no problem. Take the front wheel and forks out as one unit. The back wheel and mudguard off and put the chain in a plastic bag to keep the inside of the car clean.

    It will then all fit in the back. No need to remove the front seat.

  15. Honda Tlm200r? Good Or Bad?

    There is nothing wrong with the Honda TLm's but they are no where as easy to ride as a modern bike. You would probably find them a lot harder work than a newer bike.

    The gasser is a better bet for a beginner. Better still find a 2001, 2002 or 2003 gasser TXT 250, not the PRO and not the 280. There are plenty around for under

  20. Beta Rev Gear Oil

    in Beta

    Hello all I have just got a beta rev3 in the manual it says use BARDAHL GEARBOX 20W40 oil in the gearbox is this the same as Halfords 20/40 car engine oil? all the best Clive

    Clive

    I have always used MT75 spec gear oil in my beta box. It is light weight, fully synthetic heavy load gear oil, and is about half the price of an equivalent motorcycle gear oil. Plus it is a nice red color which goes pink as soon as it gets some water in it so you can see as soon as the water pump seal goes. ,

  21. Siedewall Fix?

    in General Trials Talk

    Posted

    Ive got a brand new michelin rear with a hole in the sidewall. 4 tubeless plugs lets it hold air but it looses air when tire flexes. Is it junk or can it be vulcanized or patched on the inside??

    Try a truck tyre specialist. They have large patches with built in plugs. A bit like a dog turd made of rubber with a base on it.

    Works for me every time.

  23. Renthal Rumour

    in General Trials Talk

    Posted

    Renthal chain certainly is made by Regina.

    Whilst I don't doubt that Regina make Renthal chain. I have never seen a chain made by Regina that looks as well made as the Renthal R1.

    I have used chains from all the main chain manufactures (all admittedly costing half as much as an R1) and none of them last even half as long.

    Additionally R1 chains don't stretch like everyone else's. Chain wear causes your sprockets to wear faster. But a Renthal R1 chain and both the chain and sprockets will last twice as long. Suddenly your 20 quid chain has cost you more than a 40 quid R1.

    Penny wise pound foolish!

    It's Trial's Jim but not as we know it.

    Time we all looked this game in the eye's and separated the two diffrent type's of trial going on at the same venue at club level,until then we're never have a full list of rider's that have the skill's to ride the british champ with sucess,not to mention the WTC,it's going to be a long long time until we have a brit boy who can bring us home a WTC title.

    Im not quite sure where you are going with this one could you expand a bit.

    Thanks for that, it certainly clears it up for me. Especially the riders responsibility and paperwork bits.

    Thanks. Christoff.
