I'm not old enough to know (I wish)
-
Two it is then. Bought a Talon rimlock and thought I might get away with one, not worth the risk. Thanks all.
-
How many do you have on the back wheel, one or two ?

I will have to be more through when oiling the air filter to rule this out of the equasion. Reading Stork955's point about "clearing 2 strokes out before a section" my bike cant be burning any more oil than a 2stroke so I think I should be concentrating on carburation first.

Miss read that as "I've already had you down my britches"

Thanks for the info. I think its a combination of both as I use different carbs for events (Amal pre 65 Scottish, Kiehn rest of time) Definatly uses fewer plugs on the Kiehn than Amal, but still getting the jetting right so it might improve. I can feel when the plug is going "off" about 5 mins before it expires. I use a foam air filter and getting the same amount of oil through it consistently probably doesnt help.

Generally considered to be a better quality bike, which in the longer term / resale is important.
Got a loan of a friends and ridden it twice, really impressed, cant fault it.
Alot of brand loyalty on here, so you have to make the decision. Also depends on the price/condition.

Harvey Nicholls were selling "distressed" Barbours for

Any way of telling if its a rich mixture, or burning oil, thats killing plugs ?
-
I only made the comment as programmable traction control seems to defeat the whole purpose of trials.
-
-
Agreed, its just that change doesnt = improvement.
-
I cant wait for ABS and traction control, some of the other "improvements"
-
Warranty claim. I wouldnt be spending money on a 4 week old bike to cure a problem like this, if you hav'nt touched the carb and done anything that could have caused the problem.

No, but the ability to adapt to different conditions was rider controlled rather than rocker switch, it was part of the fun.
-
When I was a lad that was called a throttle.
-
I'le post my entry tomorrow (pre65)
How about a few more.

When do you do any real work ?
Ross
-
Snowseal from any walking shop works pretty well. Its also about feeding and conditioning the leather, as much as waterproofing.
-
I ran at 32:1 for 20 years, same piston, same main bearings. You have to make the decision if the nano second in engine response is worth changing bearings/pistons if you run at 80:1.
-
5 & 4, whatever the conditions.
-
What a great site, very rare that companys are prepared to give so much information.
-
Get any reputable brand, fairly tight and stick some plastic shin / knee protectors down the inside. In my opinion, if it isnt hard plastic it wont really do anything.
