  1. IRC front is very good too. (whatever you put on, you will notice a massive impoverishment over old dunlops) As above, tube type IRC rear works well at 5.5 psi.
  2. I'm on my second Hebo with built in visor, essential in my opinion. Instantly available for branches, flying stones on tracks driving rain etc

    Half Helmet?

    Which half of your head ?
  4. Or, get your father to build the ultimate bike 👍
  5. All the complexity of water cooling, then it runs at too low a temperature 😂😂😂😂
  6. Agreed, defiantly no gears or clutches in an automatic transmission 😂😂😂😂😂

    Swm Rebuild Manual ?

    Does it shift easily with the engine off ? If so, probably just clutch drag. What oil are you using, atf improves the smaller rotax's, plus a bit of technique 😁
  8. Peel the grip back and check what colour the tube is. Black slow, white fast action
  9. Defiantly join a local club, Cumberland County would be worth considering, lots of knowledgeable helpful people. Cycle trials skills seem to transfer pretty easily, so should give you a head start in your (evolutionary 😁) process.
  10. Whilst some manual gearboxes do use transmission fluids in place of gear oil, the same cannot be said for putting gear oil into an automatic transmission. Gear oil is much too viscous for these systems and will cause clogging between components. Interesting read 👍
  11. Educate us, please. A comparison of loads on an automatic 40ton truck v's the loads going through a 70kg bike would be interesting.

    BSA B40

    Mine has the frame no on the front, left hand engine mount. (It was a wd model)
  13. Adjustments made by altering the shims / oil weight. http://www.rockshocks.co.uk/shims-category/
  14. If you're in the uk, Google / Facebook Richard Allen.
  15. Ambient temperatures on the day ? Heat shield between manifold and carb ?
  16. Phone them and report back 👍

    Petcock

    Take the hose off, turn the tap, find off position, thats probably all that's important ?

    Clutch / Gearbox oil

    No noticeable issues with atf, have you changed the o ring on the other end of the gear shaft ?

    Stifled 247

    Did they ever have the snap, only ones I ever had a shot on were very soft. Replacing the air filter can't do any harm, and wouldn't imagine there will be much crap left in the exhaust after 3 mood crossings today. Have you checked it the timing is correct ?
  20. I would have to disagree, very definitely a trials bike, although it wasn't the best.
  21. There is a guy Bill ? that can do this with the wheel complete, someone will chime in with his contact details.
  22. Inmotion Bultaco used to do this, might be worth giving them a call.
  23. A magnet will tell you if the lining is steel.
