Hi & Help, Here is a list of the troublsome symptoms on my '04 300 txt pro 1. Blows out quite a bit of white smoke on start-up but settles down after aminute or two. 2. Blasting up embankments can see clouds of blue(?) smoke. 3. At idle the force of the gas leaving the exhaust seems very weak, I can hardly feel it with my hand. Especially compared to 10 year old JTX/Contacts which I can feel hitting my leg 3 ft away 4. The noise my bike makes seems light & thin compared to the deep even tones of other newer & older bikes (GasGas & Beta) 5. Idle speed is ok but gives a pop/ping at regular intervals. 6. Not enough bottom end. Hard to ride smoothly unless going too fast. So after all that, are these easy to fix, not serious but spend the rest of my life fiddling with, or proper trouble & get rid asap. Thanks in advance for the feedback.

Hi, I've used "Oxford Products Paintsaver" which is a thick stick on plastic/vinyl sheet which comes in a roll that you have to cut yourself. It comes in black, carbon fibre & clear and a heat gun is really usefull when applying. You can get it from almost any motorcycle dealer. Mine has been stuck on the frame for 6 months where my boots rub & is holding up really well.

Does anyone make or sell cheap, plain, self coloured mudguards & plastics for trials bikes? I'm talking about modern stuff not twin shocks, in particular for a Gas Gas 2004 Pro. Ta.
