140:1 is fine for trial for the Ossa, use a high quality synth 2T oil. After you warm it up make sure you "rev it out" to clean out any deposits etc from the warm up / choke period. Many riders forget to do this and slowly their exhaust will plug, motor does not breath as it should and you have problems. Hope this helps.
Might be expected, the European Championships will also sanctioning the settlement obstructed failure. Former EMU (European Motorcycle) that this fall is closer to the FIM so much that it now denominates "FIM Europe" following the footsteps of his elder.
Thank you to Philippe Bontemps that we found this in

Read the press FIM Europe:
FIM decided to use «No Stop» rules for the 2013 FIM
World Championships and Cups. FIM Europe follows.
The FIM Board of Directors decided in November that the 2013 FIM
World Championships should be run by the No Stop rules (to stop the
bike = 5 point failure) that was abandoned 30 years ago in favor of the
modern rules where stopping is allowed. The FIM Europe Management Council have
decided that the FIM Europe Trial Championships and Cups will follow the FIM decision.
all good but he's loosing crank oil and that with large smoke is the crank plate seals. Its about a 45 min job, flywheel and stator come off, pull the crank plate and replace seals. its handy to have the correct tool to pull the plate. cheers
I don't believe non-stop will help, keep it simple for the observers whom ever they are, I don't believe that any sport will ever benefit from eliminating skill(s), interesting on the mention of minimum seat height and weight, I'm all for seeing the trial bikes become more versatile and main stream, that might sell more bikes, I think all manufacturers want that. I'm more than willing to see how it goes this year with non-stop, I had a good laugh about the FIM no - stop video showing what is acceptable and not acceptable, I'm pretty sure I saw stops on the "FIM acceptable" rides, or at least they were debatable.
Oh yeah, have to mention this, I have many people ride at my practice area plus I do train new trial riders and I provide rental trial bikes and one of the more common positive observations from new interested riders is how cool it is to see trial riders balance. This is one of the first skills and techniques they want to learn. @#$%^ - (So I know!!!!!!, let's eliminate this technique and skill - lol)
yes, there are two seals on the removable crank cover which is behind the stator. The crank shaft bearing is between the two. Your inside seal is leaking. When the bike blows a lot of smoke both seals have gone. A simple check on the tightness of the crank cover screws is also recommended. Red lock tight the screws. cheers
I am hoping the new rules do not turn too many people off of Trials, . We have all seen novice riders momentarily pause in section, or even momentarly pause and dab to regain composure. Right or wrong if they continuosly get a "epic fail-5", vs a "made a few mistakes but continued on-3" it will be very discouraging for new riders. Also if a rider in any class gets a 5 for stopping because it is what the checker percieved, and another does not because the checker didn't, it will definately turn riders off from the sport.
The very essence is about control whether or not you ride it no stop if you have the control to stop and balance.
Dry trials with traction work well for stoping and hopping, wet slippery trials you need to use more of a non-stop riding technique. Both require control and skill, and you need to be able to not only know how to ride both ways, but also when to ride a particular way in order to excel.
Both styles have their place, but mandating one style is not in the best interest of the sport.
The above captures it for me, great post micki, to add, we need to keep the scoring as simple as possible, in Canada much of our scoring is partner checking or variations of that as observers are hard to come by, the highest skilled riders will always rise to the top. Funny how this video is actual proof that scoring non-stop is going to be very difficult.
For me personally, I am always working on all types of riding from hop and bop to smooth non-stop riding. cheers
I had rock shocks on my gripper, worked well, they are light and the most important feature is there are adjustable both damping and preload. can't remember the length but each supplier should be able to give you that. 14.5 inches ?????? maybe. There is place in Spain that can help you out with anything on the gripper - VITALE
the Lithium 12v must incorporate the capacitor unit, if the battery is dead the fan will not run properly. You should have the capacitor installed. since they have the capacitor on the 2013 then I would recommend the 9v system and it is far less expensive. No issue with flooding from over pressure from the fuel pump. See here for the connection diagram, takes about 15 minute to install. The 12 V does work, 9v in my opinion is far better.
Further to this, the 2013 bike have a higher compression therefore all the more reason to have 9v easy start.
haven't seen it yet, will know more by mid Sept. I can guess at a two part system, a separate base that connects to the throttle body through the filter box. Then slide the filter onto the base and screw on tight.
I mailed to the Ossa export manager last week and he told me that the production of the 125cm³ will start very soon, on trialworld.es you can read that delivering will start on october.....
engine will be like the 280 Ossa, different crank and cylinder with setup as the 125cm³ Gas Gas racing..... ( told my dealer, who is very engaged in OSSA.. )
Did they phone you? Just curious where the information has come from as reports say they are struggling as a company so if anything they would stick with the bigger bike and sell more rather than expand their product range?
I'm an importer and I have them on order, sorry, not getting into rumour
