    Noisey Engine

    I replaced rings, small end bearing, crank bearings, crank seals, and wrist pin. Before doing this did not hear much noise. After I hear a some what "knocking" noise. Actually seems to go away with higher revs. Or bike too loud at that point to hear the knocking. Runs great, performs well. I just figure it is cuz I was too cheap to change the piston. When I tore the engine down the rings were leaking by so badly there were scorch marks on the piston below the rings and on the cases under the crank bearings. How did that darn thing still run?
  3. WOW totally amazing how close the British Government is with the US Government. Love the part (and so true) about mailing the form to my house and then asking for my address.
  4. Had a Blast! Great turnout for the event. Biggest we've ever had I would say Some may say Saturday was a bit tough on ADV and EXP (OK it was tough) BUT do remember that even I at the bottom of the ADV class tried every obstacle. And went away with a smile. HEY SAM, Great Job for a first time hosting an event, and BEAUTIFUL property.
  5. Well considering I am not as well spoken as I would like to be.............. What Biff said
  6. Congrats to Pat. Hey FanticMatze, I bet when you returned to Germany you thought you would not see any more crazy American trials riders for a long time.

    Ty80 And Jt1 Prices

    Thanks for the replies guys. Yep I thought the modern kids bikes would push back sales of the TY80.
  8. Hey Gaby BOUT TIME YOU CHIMED IN!!! Hiya looking forward to the season? Sam, Sounds like good conditions, good sections, many riders. This should be a great way to start the season.
  9. Yea Biff you are so correct. that would be a dream come true
  10. Thanks Brockway. Eases my mind a bit, but there goes my excuse to not ride.
  11. Thought I should make the huge leap and go for an extreme challenge of my riding abilities this year. Hey Sam, I kinda have not sent that annual release form thingy yet My AMA membership is current. Will I still be able to ride. Maybe just sign more papers at the event to cover the realease form?
  12. I am not sure if this is a "taboo" subject for TC but here goes. (Andy will let me know if this violates da rules, if it does just delete it on sight ) I am looking for anyone in the US who has recently purchased a ty80 who would like to divulge the price they paid and the condition of the bike. Reason is I have a ty80 that I am considering selling. It was repainted red by previous owner. Needs crank bearings and seals Needs fork seals. Think it is 74 or 75. Everything else in good working order. I also have a 1971 JT1 mini Enduro. needs gas tank refurbished needs front sprocket. cables are a little "loose" Pour gas and oil mix in carb and it runs good. Thanks for any help.
  13. Up s*** creek without a new tire?

    06 Crack...

    I did weld some bracing on my skid plate mounts but at the time the entire frame was completely empty. During the winter with all the other stuff I did to it. I am also guilty of clamping the ground of my wire feeder to the foot peg and then doing a quick weld of the crack on my foot peg mount. so on one hand I am Mr. ultra careful but on the other hand I am a Doofus. I got multiple personalities.
  15. OH Yea sure, everything I don't know how to ride...............At least with the "easy 1 mile loop" I will have plenty of opportunity to use my new "highway pegs" Thanks Sam I know you will have a spectacular event. I agree should be a great time, I have been looking forward to this for months. Even if it was 1 section with 1 log I would have a great time and a few 5's. Practice...............Looking at Sherco and thinking man I really should put down this Mt. Dew and Doughnut and start that thing. BODY BY ZIPPY Round IS a shape.
  16. If flooded you could also try turning fuel off, choke on full, and hold throttle wide open. You will still end up kicking quite a bit before it catches and runs. And a new plug gapped properly wouldn't hurt either.

    what if someone just unhooked the ground wire. would this isolate the electics enough? Just thinking quick easy and lazy
  18. Good Doggy, yes who's a good dog? You're a good dog. Now go get me Rudolph, the freezer is running low on Venison.
  19. I am getting really excited about The MOTA riding season to begin. But I need to practice, So to narrow down my "training". I assume the first one is gonna be muddy, spring gotta love it. Sam, What type of terrain does your club have? Hills? Flat land? Tight turns? "Stadium" type sections? OH yea and how much snow you got right now?
  20. Does Pirelli even make a trials tire anymore?
  21. I think adjusting fuel level sorted the problem.
  22. The tang was a little fishy smelling but curiously tasted like chicken. but if you are sampling the tang and get some of that taint, you got an overbite man. Many thanks to NASA for giving us "Tang" and velcro.
