Guys, Thanks for the feedback. I have stuck a new plug in today and replaced the airfilter and the bike seems to start and run fine, not had a chance to run it for any period of time but hopefully it is cured. I will also try running the 2T mix a bit leaner am I correct in an 80:1 mix being 12.5ml/L ? Sorry for the dumb questiond but the bike is new to me and I dont want to make a mistake and have a costly repair bill to pay :-)

I have a 03 Sherco 2.9 which has been running fine up until yesterday. The problem is that the bike will run fine, but if I stop the engine and then try to restart, the plug fouls and it will not restart unless I remove the plug and clean it. I am using the exact same ratio of 2t oil to petrol at 2% and have replaced the airfilter for a new one, does anyone have any idea why this is happening? Thanks in advance

Hi I've been riding road bikes for many years and have also been green laning for quiet a few too. I am looking to have a go at Trials riding but dont have a clue where to start, so thought this would be a good starting point. I am looking to do this just for pleasure and am not really looking to enter loads of competion events, although a few events a year would be fun, so my questions are: Being a bit of a big lump (16st) what would be a good starter bike that will be fairly reliable and not cost the earth e.g 125, 250 ? 4T, 2T, any sugested models to look for ? Are there any schools in the UK that run courses that can teach me the basics of machine control, and technique ? Are there any good riding areas in the Herts/Beds area that people can recommend for practise ? Is there a good club in the same area that would be happy to help a novice like me ? Thanks in advance.
