Float level

That's exactly my settings, but have had a 128 main which works better on a 250 if I remember correctly? Pretty sure I moved the needle one notch too. The biggest gain is the 3 slide. Just a thought you haven't got after market adjusters have you?

Rubbish. The last few years they are better still and as wheels brakes forks clutch are all exactly the same, and most engine bits are made by same sub contractors or S3 you're not being objective/fair?

why have you ruled out GG they are identicle to trs in many ways, more around better value for money 2nd hand?

set sag as well i think there is a good explaination of this somewhere?

errr all retail has had vat since 1973 and all makes have vat?

Its a strange one. Ive done the 4 day in france and the most sections we ever did was 32? At the costa brava classic we do 18 a day and it always seems enough...............dunno why. When in rome etc etc

I would say the obvious competitor is a year old bike.

Does anyone else think at UK retail price of £4k its too expensive?

was just thinking what glen said about the small centre bolt certainly on a gasser symptoms would match. Logically hydaulics would not cause immediate changes you descrbe?

have you measured sag on both and ground clearence?

noisy clutch is completely normal if quiet when pulled in.

sag? Pre load? spring rate?

yes look on facebook allen used spares or Richard Allen

tried richard allen?

bugger they were supposed to send me one on back order......thanks for that. Yes back in stock, thanks.

none in uk

unavailable at the moment from after market, so genuine only, but no stock here in uk. Only alternative is weld a bit in an old one to make it longer

this is the way use the spanner and hold tightly!! the '19 has a new arrangement.

good work!

top hat spring. if its just thst youre lucky did you drop the bike or hit gear lever

ive got a couple if you need owt. You shouldve had a go on mine in Coasta.

what are the dates Hamish?

Go for the 242 its a fantastic bike. Its properly geared, light and agile easy to work on and most parts are available, cheap as not popular, only one weak spot is kickstart gears. ps I do hate montesa.

its a joke, every year the teams and self funded regulars and newbys trek over there and once, just once a year they cant be a***d to come here to europe.
