  1. Thanks very much but I am now sorted. Steve
  2. Thanks, I have repaired the damaged casing & bought a new one. Steve
  3. DO NOT I mean DO NOT buy any from express signs on Ebay they are bad quality and the colours are all wrong, I bought some and complained, but didn't get a response to any emails.
  4. I managed to repair the casing to get riding again, but have since bought a new Yamaha casing (£60) and a slightly shorter gear lever (£36) from Birketts. My mate has ridden my bike & is so impressed he 'has to have one' but there doesn't seem to be any about for sale, anyone know of a good 175/200f up for grabs please let me know.
  5. Thanks, I also need a gear lever, does anyone know if its the same as the SY250 2t ?
  6. Thanks Archie, the first one does look similar, but it's not the same & the second one, again looks similar and would probably get me out & riding until I could find a new/newer one. I'll have a good look through Ebay.
  7. Preparing my SY175f for a trial this morning, the bike 'blew over' in the wind and fell onto the left side, the gear lever took the blow and punctured the engine casing, end of day !! My problem now is findind a replacement casing & gasket, i know that it is a Yamaha TTR engine, but is this an import and are engine parts easily available ? I haven't have a great deal of joy in the past sourcing Scorpa parts. Other than Birketts, can anyone advise where else I can sort this problem ??

    Scorpa Decals

    Does anyone know where to get Scorpa decals ? I have a new rear mudguard from Birketts for my 2005 SY175f, but they can't supply the decals, I have bought a set off Ebay from Express signs, but I'm not impressed, wrong colour blue & not best ever !

    New 175F Owner

    Just wanted to say Hi, I have just bought this 2005 SY175f 143cc I am really pleased with it, but I have no idea of it's history and therefore do not know if its had any of the common modifications done, I am keen to get the bike as good as it can be and would be grateful to hear of your good and bad expierences, what works, what doesn't work, what to look out for, which mods are worth the money etc..
  10. If stevieb can post the frame number (or PM me if he does not wish it public) I'll decode it for him. Jon Frame number 011020263 Swing arm part serial number BT280212002 Thanks Jon
  11. My friend has recently bought this Gas Gas, reportedly a 2003 TXT Pro 200, I cant find information either on the bike or on the internet to prove Gas Gas actually made a 200 in 2003, my gut feeling is this could be a 2002 125 ??? Can anybody help ??
  12. Can I tell what size the barell is without taking the head off ? The head has never been off my TL
  13. I have a TL125S which runs great but as you know lacks some grunt, I am thinking of a Sammy Miller 150 conversion kit, is there anyone who has completed a recent conversion, can say if it's worth the money or hassle ?
  14. Apart from the obvious 50cc can anyone tell me how the two bike are different ? Stevieb

    4stroke Finale

    Talking of expence, No one has mentioned the lovely Seeley that is curently on ebay Item number: 120241326557 what a great bike, but what does everyone think of the 'Seeley' is it a bit of an exotic/limited edition or is this a piece of Honda History ?? also what do think this will go for ??
  16. I have been looking for a good Honda for some time now, I am totally amazed at the price some of these machines 'go for', or should I say 'ask for' There are some good TLR's with RTL engines about but I am not sure how good this combination will be, on paper you should have the perfect twin shock bike, a smooth powerful engine in a bullet proof twin shock frame or am I wrong ???????

    Honda Tlr

    I have been looking for a good Honda TLR 250 to get back into Twin Shock Trials, I know they are hard to come by and I shall wait for the right one to come along. Can anyone tell me where I should be looking for such a machine, how much should I expect to pay for a good one, and any common problems to look for when buying a TLR250. Cheers Stevieb
  18. I believe the Tough one was filmed by Sky tv but I have not seen it advertised does anyone know if when it's on or have I missed it ??
  19. I am coming back into trials after quite a few years away on the enduro scene, I am far too old and miss the feet up scene, I have previously owned 250 Beta's and a Scorpa which were both great bikes. But times move on and so do the bikes ! Can someone guide me what to go for, I have about
