its a kinda magic

wahoo some sence

nice information there, very good

ha, never notifced that one bikespace

nar, no problems, just the dogs dangley bits.

to get the old valve out would be fairy tricky it would involve taking the tyre off and pulling it through.then you would have to fish around for the valve of the innertube. then there is the chance of nipping the tube when running it tubeless. sh*t idea if you ask me. 2 words, dog turds.

i heard the sherco's dies after a few sections of continus riding, bit like the 2-stroke!

There is a lot in the technique to kick starting a trials bike. if you have kicked a bike over as many times as Raga i bet you would make it look easy. look at it like this, the things he does on a bike, he makes that look so so effortless as if he isn't trying. maybe its the same kind of thing when he kicks it over. technique is everything i reckon.

Ha, u got me on that1

you are bloody crackers!!! sherco!!! get real!! can't grip for sh*t!!be no good for you, wat u need is a Yr2000 gasser, they grip, even with a slightly worn tyre...

dave wat r u thinkin!!!!

you could always tap it out to 1/4" unc thread. this would make a good thred and not make it too big. all you lose is that you need a slightly diferent size alan key to suit when you take the front wheel out.

Nar the bikes are really good for beginners. wish there were more ppl lilke ya! me n my mates all struggled along on t/s from an early age. every1 these days seems to have a brand spanker from the word go!! brats all of em.

your friend has just bought a big Dinosaur!!

That sounds good price. they are very reliable bike. i had mine for 2 yrs now and the engine still sounds sweet.

you being from south cumbria i guess you have already given birks and john wren a ring?they could pooint you in right direction.

i have several pictures of engine on 175, will get them up for you once i have scanned them in. the hubs were magnesium on mine too.where does the exhaust go different? i modified mine to go staight up after the barre;l and then through the frame.

It is possible you have packed it too tight. this means it does not do its job of absorbing the sound waves. its hard to say but it doesn't want to be too tightly packed but at same time not too lose.

dunno if you'l find an after market one, i have not seen any. is it too far gone to weld a patch on it?
