Easy fix, pop cover of master cylinder, push the pistons all the way back into the caliper until they bottom out flat. re install on bike and pump the lever until the pistons come out and compress the pads onto the disc. Maybe they just need to be "forced" to move a bit. Extreme fix would be romove brake line and split the caliper. Use compressed air to "POP" the pistons out, ( careful they will fly!!) inspect and replace seals and pistons if necessary or re lube everything with brake fluid and put it all back together.

They already left as he typed it onto TC

Good Video. That automated camera man thingy seems like it will be some really neat technology. Mr. Neutron, Yep that is Goddard, the dog thingy. I must confess I do enjoy Monty Python, but I am unfamiliar with the Mr. Neutron character. Have you watch "The Young Ones"?

Thanks Mr. Neutron, We may have been technically inside but there was plenty of ventilation and zero heat. But NO SNOW!!! that was the main thing. (If you click on "Moving Pictures" in the top there are more videos. Not all are riding trials. WGASA is a lifestyle!!!) OH and I banged my header pipe on top of one of the "walls" at The Warehouse and put a small dent in the bottom of the curve. Been curious about something .............. How's Goddard doing?

yep need new O-ring in the middle where the fluid passes between the halves. Just make sure new O-ring is right size and will be compatible with brake fluid.

But you committed to it and you EARNED your 5!

Or they will think "why buy a new bike when I can go ride the trails and not stop on my existing off road bike" or " I may as well go ride Endurocross, already got an off road bike, just need to throw a couple obstacles in the way"

Last Sunday I was able to take the Old B.A.G.G. out for a ride. There is a bit of a write up about it here, with video! (not exactly good video mind you ) http://wgasa.motatrials.com/ We don't take ourselves very seriously.

Hey StevieGasGas, Welcome to trials and to Trials Central. Yep the fan should cycle on and off periodically, if the fan stays on or stays off then you will have a problem. Sounds like if you give the HT lead a little squeeze with some pliers it should tighten up the end of the lead onto the sparkplug. Ride it and have fun!!

That's cool you got more info to make life easier. About the Paoli forks.......They go up and down

NOBODY SHOULD BE USING DHMO!!! IT IS DANGEROUS!!!!! See this website for irrefutable proof! http://www.dhmo.org/ Or jump straight to the facts portion of the site http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html Cope you should be very relieved that there is not much DHMO where you live. Scary times in places where it is abundant!

Maybe a Triumph Cub instead...........Wanna start out slow

I can't remember when GasGas brought out the "PRO" engine.......2002?

I also RODE my GasGas today !!!! I am really liking this bike. Did some indoor practice and felt great.

Be careful on the choice of sealant. I used Threebond 1194 (I think that is what it was, grey and supposedly the same as yamabond) on my clutch cover gasket once. I put a thin film on each side of the gasket, waited the appropriate amount of time. Put it all back together and the gasket slid around and leaked. The 3Bond 1194 is a flexible sealant and never truly "dries" so the gasket was allowed to move around. But when I used the 3Bond 1194 all by itself with no gasket on the Crank Cases of a TY80 I rebuilt it worked wonderfully. Did exactly as it was supposed to do. So I guess right product for the right job. I am not suggesting that you do not use a sealant on your gasket.... just suggesting you get the right one and save some more headache.

I have had the vasectomy. was back on my trials bike 6 days later. was thinking maybe the extra movement allowed by not being attached at all points would be benificial on unicycle. Besides I am married, so technically neutered anyways. On the bright side she tells me I am a happily married man. You been talking to OTF too much.

quite often I have good luck using a air compressor. stick the air nozzle between grip and bar and it "inflates" the grip enough to move it around, relatively easy. But on occasion I have used on the bars as a lube: Gasoline, brake cleaner, alcohol ,,,,,, oh wait that was for me.

Nice demo. All riders looked good, Thought the inclusion of a twinshock was pretty cool. Saw that mandatory Tim Horton's product placement. Those Canadians love the Tim Horton's.

Is it possible that the clutch cover has a crack in it or a nick in the sealing surface of either the cover or the case? I know nawt about the washer thing

He is just an all around great guy, helpful and really cares about people and pretty good on a trials motorcycle. Rides Expert level on modern bikes. Missed him riding last year. But he did show up for a couple of events on a TLR200 and looked good on that too. About the nut flattening...............if one has had a vasectomy does that make it easier to ride unicycle??

Man, that is very impressive. Everytime I see that stuff I can't help but think you would need to have really good knees for that. Fellow Team WGASA member on a unicycle

Lews Sport in the USA has many manuals. http://www.lewisportusa.com/manuals.htm 2003 TXT Edition may be tough to find, Did it have the same motor as the "Pro" models? There are parts lists for the pro engine and chassis http://www.lewisportusa.com/manuals/gasgaspartsman/03partsengine.pdf http://www.lewisportusa.com/manuals/gasgaspartsman/03partschassis.pdf

You gave it the "Evil Eye" and told it to shape up and fly right! You must have a formidable "Look"

Crashmonkey said "Bringing back a show like kickstart would do wonders." Using the work Like with the meaning similar to. In order to showcase the fun aspect of the sport He did not say "exactly" I also remember seeing a couple of spots where they did stop on kickstart. Inside a circle with stumps and they had to do this wierd floater turn thingy on the stumps they stopped and then began the floater turn thingy. AND Here's a good one they rode up onto an elevated platform and STOPPED AND BALANCED FOR A SPECIFIC PERIOD OF TIME before being told they could move on. So yes stopping and balancing is a skill that was used, even in Kickstart. And yes the rules for kickstart were actually different than either stop allowed or no stop, it was a special "one off" type of event, being a timed run on the entire course with time penalties for failing an obstacle instead of points for foot down. But the great part was how much it showed how FUN trials can be. That is how we get participation. Not by demanding that every event runs to no stop rules. Keep your classic twin shock events and ride no stop and have fun. I will ride the modern events and stop, balance and even hop when I can and have fun.

Good luck
