The First Chinese Trials Bike
Anything is possible but as stated above costs to get to production are too great, anything other than a purpose made engine wouldnt do, regardless of if it sells enough, which it wont.

txt 125 E4 stubborn starting
check earths. Check the cdi plug in is dry and making good all connections. Get someone who has had a gasser for a while try start it and if theyve got good technique as above it'll point you one way or another. Stators on gas gas arent usually a problem.

Bikes arent worth anything yet a 7 year old is 2k? Which is it?

The First Chinese Trials Bike
Surely its the opposite, why buy a new overweight fourstroke when you can get a really good secondhand bike for the same money, cant see the logic.

The First Chinese Trials Bike
because they would put up some money to import without trying one "in the field". Plenty here in the uk have looked at this but a decent market for a low grade low price bike just isnt there in most peoples opimion?

Rim band question
exactly. The new bands are very hard to get right and rquire the edge to be sealed perfectly which will be your problem.

2019 gearing?
250cc. I was the same but my mates in yorkshire said it was a bit too much for some becks (whatever they are) and they made me change it mid practice session. Instantly it was much better because the gasser can rev (more than all the others?) so shortness isnt a disadvatage. The added bonus is down south 4th on a 250 becomes very usable.

Scorpa ditching WTC?
ive known Sandra since she was 12 and her family and they are trials through and through, but as with 'fredo there isnt the money or career in trials for the lower wtc positions, im not sure she has a choice unless she wants a normal job....

Scorpa ditching WTC?
Not sure you have trials in your blood if you think that. Im pretty sure its not an easy decision at all, if it was just about money lots more wouldnt even bother with trials, but im sure the FIM know best and what small changes that Sport 7 made had certainly helped some of the also rans or guys on there way up keep going.

2018 cold seize?
Years ago with a brand new bike it happened to me so im very careful if its cold out side. A pal had a rebore done last week and the piston would not fit after the cylinder had been in the van overnight, so care needed!

EFI OSSAs: How many were actually produced?
im sure donor bikes are the way to go to keep them running. Birketts here in the uk still have some spares I think. You should be able to get a broken one cheap enough but bet there are less than 50 in the united states? Did lewis sport ever have anything to do with them?
