  1. "Dinging" downhill could be a loose exhaust / air leak. Overhaul 30 - 40 hours !! Every decade more like with standard maintenance and sympathetic use.
  2. Move the point one two places to the left, IMO.
  3. BSA's run a metal slipper tensioner, no spring, just adjust and once set seems to last forever, as does the primary chain. (also running in auto tran fluid) Maybe yours could be modified to suit ?

    Electronic Ignition

    @pschrauber tell you tomorrow Patrik, long single lap trial with refuelling out on the moors. Typically the ignition would overheat and feel like it was running weak. It's on the TX300.
  5. Competition licenses in Spain are about €300 pa, think I'd rather spend 30 quid to watch a world round. ?
  6. A twin shock would be perfect IMO, 5 litres or more fuel capacity, decent height seat makes them reasonably comfortable. Certainly much more comfortable than a modern bike. Something like an swm is very reliable generally, and with 6 gears is capable of keeping up with traffic. You still have the capability of a trials bike so pretty versatile too. Something like a Pirelli mt43 on the back would wear a bit better, and not be so exciting going round corners at low pressures. A twin shock should also hold its value reasonably well.

    Electronic Ignition

    New ignition delivered this morning, very easy to fit. It comes with full instructions, but they are almost unnecessary as its very logical. Bike started first kick, all good so far ?
  8. To check when the points open you need a bulb / buzzer and a battery to supply power. You will have little success with power generated at virtually zero revs.
  9. Did you check for 10mm play having rotated the crank in several positions ?
  10. Coming to the NHS near you, embrace the change ???
  11. Never seen one, climber might have had one, but think the shaft was a smaller diameter. I'd be interested if you find anything.
  12. While I agree with almost everything jossy says, I'm not sure if any of the points raised can actually be blamed. 20 or more years ago when trials had huge entries, they were all pre paid by cheque, one route for all, no Sat nav for directions, tmx might have details of events but usually it was word of mouth. Strangely, bikes ran at 25:1 and didn't foul plugs or oil up exhausts.

    Just been looking at Martin's motoswm site and I see the new system is now available for Rotax trials motors. http://www.motoswm.co.uk/product-category/ignition/

    airbox

    If the old one is damaged I could see the point. @turbohead the standard TXR air box is miniscule and doesn't seem to affect performance ? Maybe the long inlet tract balances it out ?
  15. Rule of thumb, topping out = to little oil.

    Chispa

    Not sure Mika is on here very often now. I will message him and draw his attention to this.
  18. Surface area of a foam against a pancake is much reduced. Wash the foam out with detergent, petrol seems to attack the adhesive, and try once dry as there will probably still enough oil still in it.
  19. http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/topic/28407-the-beta-clutch-fix/
  20. Looks back to front, maybe ? Can it be fitted other way ?
