315 carb or was the fuel injection salvaged?

Glad to hear you have this problem solved! I have a pair of TL125's I'm bringing back to life. One is a 73 very tired barn find, the other a well kept 75. Now that you have the bike running well it's time to work on the suspension. Rear shocks are a must purchase to be competitive. And if that's the direction you're headed, consider the engine mods available. I chose the CB550 piston upgrade for the 73 and will later install the 150 big bore kit on the 75. Big difference in power! A set of modern trials handlebars help, too. Good luck!

Sounds like the problem I'm facing - bike boiled over while in Texas, then again a few weeks ago at our local trial. Tested the fan with a good 12v source and it ran well. Replaced the thermo switch & gasket along with the coolant. Noticed today that the fan was not coming on. Connected the two blue thermo switch wires together and got nothing while the bike was running. Appears that my next step would be to replace the regulator? The bike still runs great so I'm thinking its NOT the stator. Is there anything else I can do short of ordering a new regulator? 2000 Rev3 250 (yes, the one with the upside down forks). Greg

It was a great event with an easy loop, too. Only rub was the lack of Senior Am splits (Sunday especially). Perfect weather, too. Thanks to the NTTA for hosting another Red River Riding area observed trials event!

I've been using Duct tape to keep my 2000 Rev 3 fender in place. It really seems to hold the tail in place and takes a twisting fairly well, too. If anyone has a better fix I'd like to hear about it. I have a pristine fender that I'm keeping around for the next owner so buying a replacement isn't in my future. thanks! Greg

Bernie's book is still available even though it's been out of print for some time. I picked up a copy a few years ago from Whitehorse Press. A google search for it will turn up a couple results for copies... Any one got a copy of Lane Levitt's trials book?
