I buy these and re-use the old seals https://www.vxb.com/HK1516OH-Needle-Bearing-15x21x16-p/kit7374.htm

I really enjoyed his commentary through the sections, was interesting to hear what he was thinking etc..

my GasGas starting procedure - from cold choke on - from hot no choke Lean bike against appropriate item (tree, truck, garage, etc) OR have bike supported by skidplate (on stand, on a log, on the neighbors annoying bratty kid......) Stand on the footpegs Bring kickstarter down gently until you feel resistance From that location kick through with a forceful fluid motion - gotta get it to spin up quickly, but don't "stab" at it NO throttle Mine starts 1 or 2 kicks 99.9% of the time

No new class, The best are the best and should be celebrated as such. World Trials is entertaining and amazing and does very little to nothing to bring more riders to the sport. (as far as I have seen) To even the playing field: Keep the dreaded minimum weight rule (make it realistic so that a standard production bike meets it) Bikes used in World Trials Competition MUST be a production bike - only "tweaks" available are existing aftermarket bits that are available to the public. and if those two don't cut it maybe cap the number of tweaks allowed, so the rider will have to choose between greatest suspension and maximum horsepower or some such. Just thoughts, I am not exactly adamant they will work, my mind can be changed. Discuss

spray carb cleaner around the base gasket to see if it is sucking in air.

good excuse for the 10 pound sledge................................. yes, I have done so for the Old BAGG

check your ground, I helped a guy get his Sherco running the day after he washed it. He rode it for practice, washed it, and the next day at the event it wouldn't run. Cleaned the ground attachment at the frame and all was right again.

those I ride with keep trying beer and liquor............. not sure how effective it is. We shall continue further testing

within MOTA (Michigan Ontario Trials Association) we have 6 Clubs, each club hosts 2 events per season. For a rider to be awarded season championship points they must work 2 events per season. This is how we get the majority of our observers, the members of the club will set up, run, observe their 2 events for the season. and then you ride the other 10. Season championship standings are determined by your best 8 rides. It seems to work pretty good. But you do not have to be a member of one of the clubs to ride the events. You will get a trophy that day (provided you finish in the top 3) but you will not be awarded season championship points for the year end awards.

I use a tree, rock or a log.......... if none of those are available, I have leaned it against a buddy's bike. Or just lay it on the ground, that's her happy place anyway. Spends enough time there

My RatTY 175 arrived like this: And it now Looks like This: There will be tweaks that happen for quite some time yet, but she can be ridden and enjoyed. And that was the goal.

Good luck, hope it is sorted quickly

I think you may have shift drum issues, if that is the problem, this will require splitting the cases. that pin looks a bit like part no. 13 in the photo below. source: http://lewisportusa.com/manuals/gasgaspartsman/04partscomplete.pdf

I think you may have broken the Top Hat, (gear selection spring unit) the cross bar is sacrificial and breaks before the shaft. Just remove clutch cover and clutch basket (one bolt in center) and you should see it

RatTY 175 runs! getting much closer to being able to take for a ride.

A local rider has one, well local (ish), he rides our events. anyway back to topic at hand, he has stated that he has has quite a bit of mud accumulate on the top of the swing arm but never in the sides. The day I got the look at the bike was an event my club was hosting and it was a mud fest, and sure enough I did not see any mud in the sides of the swing arm. As for the potential boot damage............. I don't know one way or the other

RatTY 175 is starting to look like a trials bike, not exactly a pretty one. But some of the ugly ones are the best ride.

We even have a pack for those

Adjusting the Eccentric screw may help this condition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G55FU27Z9bU or may be bent shift forks.....

I just spray the outside of the filter. the oil is propelled by CO2 so it comes out rather cold and really stiffens up the filter. This makes is difficult to fit the "cage" inside the filter without possibly ripping the filter. So I will gently massage the filter to warm it up, which in turn gets the oil to even out in the filter. when warmed up, give it a good squeeze to release excess oil and good to go.

Is there a 'timing" hole in the flywheel? 2nd picture looks like there is a hole in the upper portion of the stator plate that a rod could fit into if there was a corresponding hole in the flywheel, in order to time the ignition. I may be wrong.
