    Yep itsa lefty loosey. All I got left as suggestions are: 1. Check ground. 2. The "magic box" that send electricity to plug. 3. Pull Flywheel check key (unlikely), check stator. (That's the thingy behind the flywheel that sends electricity, right?) 4. BFH and apply sharp rapid blows to any part of bike you like. Won't help at all but you will feel better.
  2. I like this series the best.

    When my key sheared the flywheel loosened itself up so much I could just pull it off with my hands.

    Hey Sam, Not sure if this is gonna help, My bike ran excellent last I had it out. 3 weeks or so later I took it to the barn and would not start. Turns out I sheared the flywheel key. Cheapest I found if no can get locally http://www.mcmaster.com/#98490a160/=oqlaz Didja check where the Spark plug boot connects to the spark plug wire? Justa thought.

    Remove and disassemble the caliper. Using compressed air blow air where the fluid passes into the caliper. It is a good idea to have a rag wrapped around the caliper to catch the piston. Replace seals, clean and inspect (possibly replace) piston. Repeat for other half of caliper. Hope this helps.
  7. OK I have a major problem with the part where he states and I quote "It's like so many other things in the stimulus bill, most people don't know really what's in it yet" Also stated "But the dirt bike provision here is a pretty serious thing," This legislation has NOTHING to do with the stimulus bill. This act was passed last August 2008. If he is going to complain and be against a piece of legislation he needs to get his facts straight. Just another loud mouth Republican trying to make the new administration look as bad as possible hoping they will fail. Thinking this is a win for the Republicans. Now that I got that off my chest.....I do agree that the government needs to stop trying to save us from ourselves.

    OH WOW!!! I need one of those for my Sherco!!!
  9. well they do say that presentation and first impressions are everything!!!!!
  10. Ya know the typical Redneck Tool Box Hammers ------4 lb sledge, Ball peen, 16 oz Claw, rubber mallet. Adjustable wrench ----- SAE and Metric Vise Grips -------3 sizes Pliers -------slip joint, channel lock, needle nose. Seriously, The usual combo wrenches SAE & Metric, Allen wrenches SAE & Metric, Screw drivers yada yada yada. Ya know all the proper tools to do the job right, or at least very close.
  11. Us Rednecks would use a BFH (Big ****ing Hammer) Where exactly is the tank contacting the frame? Is it possible the new frame is just slightly tighter on the sides and a good firm push would make the tank slide into place? Heat gun may work, but for some reason my brain is screaming BAD IDEA! with heat and flammable vapors and all. But the heat source is not an open flame...........................I dunno maybe bad idea. My 2000 for some reason, age of tank or the fact that frame was knackered and rewelded, my tank did not fit all the way down at the seat area. My fix was to drill a new hole for the top mounting bolt closer to the steering head, in effect moved the whole tank forward and up.

    Yea I missed the banquet......pinching pennies. MMMMMMMMMMMMM! Schnauzer! Tasty!!!! Is that Quonset hut still available?
  13. zippy replied to sam's topic in USA Trials
    Super Sam, Are you going to debut one of those at your event in April?

    It is a shame that it happened. But at least he was doing what he loved and not being miserable at some job just existing. I have seen the video of it and it is a brutal crash.
  15. I bought by 2000 Sherco 2.9 based on the following criteria. It felt and rode better than the 1995 Fantic Section that I had. It was available It was relatively cheap compared to the other 3 or 4 bikes available. After test riding a few bikes over the past few years now I am considering a gasgas 300 when and IF I can afford a newer bike.
  16. Just got to really looking at the new Greeves. If that Big boxy black thing under the rear mudguard is fuel tank, it sure looks like it would be very easily damaged and leak fuel all over.
  17. May want to check the size of the photo. Maximum resolution is 1024X1024 pixels. Max file size is 300K So if file size is for example 250K but resolution is 1250X1250 then the pic will not work. You will need to edit your pic first and resize the pic.
  18. Way cool Andy THANKS!!!
  19. Sounds like a cool feature, some riders do some really nice things to their bikes. I tried to access and got this message Do I need to create another account?
  20. AAAAH New slogan VIAGRA! ...... you don't have to need it to ENJOY it! Or at least your partner will enjoy it.
  21. I have heard that on occasion a minder has lost body parts. i.e. fingers Which brings on the following question. Are all trials riders and minders just one foot away from the loony bin? Who else would look at some of that impossible stuff and think "Yep I think I can get the bike up there." and his buddy says "I'll hang onto a rope and lean way out from the cliff so I can catch your bike if ya don't" Totally mad lot we are.
  22. It may have been at a commercial operation but there are some similarities. In MOTA We do pay a fee to a non-profit organization in order to participate, also we sign wavers before competing, (both adults and for minors) In the legal realm the Wavers are going to be considered the same if there are injury claims taken to court. Although I have not met anybody in trials that would consider their injury to be the fault of somebody else. Can you imagine the court case. "Your Honor this land owner has this huge rock that I just Had to ride over. I crashed and broke my leg. It is the land owner's fault that he had such an inviting rock. There was no reason what so ever for me to use common sense that I did not have the ability to ride that rock." Sad thing is mr. fictional guy would probably win a few thousand dollars.
  23. Excellent Vid Yes it is ok to Laugh. I like the guy Zapping onto the rock and then skillfully "kissing" his front tire on the tree, and then proceeding to have the front end tuck under and down he goes. The next guy on the railroad tie boxes takes a hell of a fall though. There are a few nasty crashes, how many of us have done the "phantom" dab? (put your foot down and there is nothing there to put your foot on, and then you just continue down mucho scary for me)
