  1. Nice riding Sam! is that the bottom of Tryfan? I showed my old fella and his response was " ****ing hell,..... ****ing hell you don't stand a chance with ****s like that about!" praise indeed.
  2. I managed to borrow a Snap-on tacho/timing gun off a friend to set mine. I was suprised to see that I had it ticking over at 1950 rpm. Anyway the Snap on gun has a nice HT lead clamp, just take care to position it so it doesn't catch the fan when it comes on.
  3. Very, very sad news. Not just for fans of motorsport, he managed to become an ambassador for the sport and brought rallying and Subaru into the Public's eye. I will always remember following him round the '95 Network Q in awe at his total commitment and flamboyant driving! I managed to get to the finish of the last stage in Clocaenog where he captured the world crown. David Richards flew into the middle of the forest to congratulate him, a special moment. Condolences to the Mcrae family.
  4. Not a close up, but should give you an idea. I take it you mean Font style? http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=h...GLG:en%26sa%3DN
  5. It's just a 12mm allen key. conventional right hand thread.

    Hi Gary I have a manual but also have a Z so need to keep it, let me know what you need to know and I'll look it up for you. Don't forget that it's the same motor in the Scorpa SY250, there's a website somewhere with a parts list/manual. Depending on your location it also means that engine parts are easy to come by through your local Scorpa dealer or importer.
  8. I'm currently insured with ebike and have had no problems, the excess is a little high but I'm only paying
  9. NO, NO, NO and NO!!!! It's simply a bi hex 12mm allen bolt and therefore a 12mm allen key is the correct tool. The original tool supplied with the bike is such, you're making things far more complicated than they need to be!!!!
  10. The best plug for the Yam is an Iridium BPR6EIX, the P stands for protuding nose which you can get away with, however the most important thing is that you run an R plug. R stands for resistor and is essential when using cdi ignition as it cuts out interference from the plug. So the standard plug is a BR6ES but the the best is a BPR6EIX. Have a look at www.sparkplugs.co.uk loads of good gen on there and cheap too!
  11. Yep, even my Honda HR173 lawnmower
  12. Yes Perce, it was Blackwater but not the Blackwater SSDT sections but ones on the bedrock below the dam, a nasty big step at the end just needed a bit more waft than first could give! I'd love to try an 07 to see the difference but can't afford to change at the minute anyway so I'll have to do with blinging my 06! I think I might observe this year at the SSDT, so I'll keep an eye out for a bloke on a shiny new Mont.
  13. I agree, I rode 22 out of 23 sections at the Ian Pollock in 1st but I like the fact you can soften it if you want to not because you need to, I tried it and found I really liked it. The point is, I'm not riding World round sections or British championship sections for that matter and believe that the softer map just takes the edge off the bottom and you can still have it revving to the moon.
  14. I think you've answered your own question, If you don't want the power, you buy a monty beacause you can alter the characteristics to suit.
  15. I don't think they changed the spokes on any of the Mono's, only the hub and rim colour's changed over the years., apart from the pinky which obviously had a disc. Firstly you've basically got 2 x groups of models ( N & the more common S) which is the steel tanked road going one and the (L & the more common R) which had the smaller plastic tanks. However, these do have more differences other than the tanks, the frames are different as is the porting ( I think ) and the head (the S has a head steady) as well as jetting. Again as a guide the R has has less brackets. See here for the S http://www.ataq.qc.ca/galerie/showimg.php?...1985_TY250s.jpg See here for the early R http://www.ataq.qc.ca/galerie/showimg.php?...a1984_TY250.jpg Over the years the R mono was developed/improved with a different piston (shaped crown), lower footpegs, better shocks ( no remote cylinder,remote cylinder,and finally remote cylinder with adj damping. They even changed the white on the front mudguards of the Pinky for a more brilliant white and cut the sump guard down a bit. 88 Model see here http://www.ataq.qc.ca/galerie/showimg.php?...1988_TY250r.jpg Pinky 91 on see here http://www.ataq.qc.ca/galerie/showimg.php?...1992_TY250r.jpg Pinky frame and engine No's start with the prefix 4AJ, which is important as a lot of mono's are advertised as pinkies with aftermarket front discs, which quite frankly are ****e! I hope this makes sense!!!
  16. See here Masso http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/index....showtopic=12392 Did anyone ever get the gen on this? Interesting about the timing marks, surely F would indicate "firing" and not TDC though? As long as you set it up at the top ie TDC of the power/compression stroke, surely it'd be ok?
  17. To be honest KuelMuel the 270 isn't really worth doing, it involves boring out so the liner is at it's thinnest limit, using a DT/IT piston and then machining the bottom of the barrel to get the port timing and squish back. I've had "270"'s before and don't get me wrong it was a lovely bike but not worth the extra hassle in my opinion, the extra capacity worked out at about 12cc Instead, get the barrel ported (mainly raising and opening out the exhaust port). tidy up the transfer ports, shorten the inlet, lighten the flywheel and advance the ignition. I've recently done my Pinkie and am well happy with the motor.
  18. No I've tried them, they're trying to get me some, the ones they had/have are the Fujigas reps and the 05/06 RTL plastics which are a deep red. The 07 RTL plastics are predominantly white with red and blue graphics not painted like Fujigas reps.
  19. I'm taking Glucosamine and Chondroitin (when I remember) for my knee. To be honest I can't tell if it's having any effect as my knee's are pretty goosed and I certainly haven't turned into Lee Majors , but after doing some research I decided it can't do any harm other than to my bank balance. There's a liquid variety out now that's supposedly more easily absorbed by the body which I'll be trying when my tablets have run out. Sorry, I know it's vague news but I've had no mircale recovery as I said.

    If and it appears to be a big IF, you aren't Jamie Stokes, then perhaps you both attend the same school?
  21. Steve Goode was selling White ones on ebay for
  22. In 1984 David LLoyd won the senior class and Steve Colley won the junior class of Junior Kickstart. Not sure who won the Adults that year but it's a start. David Lloyds victory was completely out of the blue as he was on a twinshock Fantic up against Rob Sartin who was on the new TY Mono and the likes of Phil Disney, Wayne Braybrook, Duncan Baxter etc however the heavens opened after Davids ride giving him the chance to take the win. He later burnt his house down by accident whilst lighting the fire, destroying the house and winners trophy in the process! I'm pretty sure he was presented with another when they heard the story. Hope this is of some use.
  23. I thought April 1st was almost 2 months away.
  24. I have to disagree, I'm running a Renthal R1 with a V-mar guard fitted with no problems. It did "bed" in a little but there was enough tolerance in the bolt holes to stop it fouling the chain.
