bit like mirrors in spain...............but that wasnt the question.

please join the 242 facebook page.

for these cicumstances i would probably do the same.
But that wasnt the question.

So what proportion of the entry at your last road trial had speedos, cos im thinking 99% at mine didnt (spain excluded)?
Is there anyone on here who rides road trials who has a speedo?
-
That was my point, as much as anything we have all done the kick kick kick, but if experience has shown me anything when breaking down is to deal with one issue at a time.
Most of us would know that a flooded trials bike hasnt got a damaged cdi etc etc, at least not until everything obvious has been eliminated. Ive drowned my bikes maybe 5 or 6 times and each time I have got the bike upside down and plug out quicker than before.
Lastly whilst I always listen respectfully and carefully I wont always agree, and everyone has to live by there decisions. Pound to a pinch had the OP taken a few tools and sorted the initial issue im guessing he would have got his bike running sweet enough.
-
Im not sure any of that answers my question.

@Dannydangles My advice is what it is take it or leave it I really couldnt care less either way, but as you clearly havent a clue to critisise my trials experience based on riding events etc for 50 years as fatherlym, seems somewhat churlish. Certainly when I was starting out right up to last weekend I'm more than happy to accept any opinion/view/advice/experience from anyone in our community.

Google translate, brexit doesnt preclude you from the help offered by our european friends like @Dede80

why does no one ever do this?
-
I dont need to look back, I couldve patented the pnuematic Bultaco speedo on my 340 in 82. Instead of a drive cable i had a hose connected to a lump of aluminium on the front brake plate. Ran on fresh air but absolutely looked the part.
So should all trials bikes used on the road have them?
-
speedo required for road trials? no one i know ever has one? ssdt?
-
If you dont want to walk you would need only a very few tools to facilitate sorting a drowned bike, or any other minor mishaps. I dont go out on a competion trial loop without basic tools let alone where I was considering an unknown depth water crossing "in the bush". Each to there own.......
-
tearing the whole thing apart wont help problem solving. For next time when you drown a bike (trials) carb off remove all water dont forget banjo if its a dellorto, dry out airbox and especially filter, tip upside down with plug out, as above, all back together check for spark and fire her up.
Get it lovely and hot to disapate any water remaining. (20 mins?) kicking over for 30 was probably not that helpful.
There seems no mention above of taking ignition cover off im assuming you did that first?
-
have you tried in motion here in the uk?
-
It was in really bad shape the operation was about 4 hours as there were several things wrong.
Its better than it has been for 15 years, and so much so once completely healed about 8 months later the left one felt suspect!
It wasnt cheap but at the time i was insured. Big benefit to elect when, but in my case i had to have it done asap which was a few weeks later.
My only warning would be it hurt so much after i was on morphine for 3/4 days. It was done with a nerve block bit like an epidural which lasted 18 hours, after that i was close to buying fentynyl off the street.
Great now.
-
Had mine done in northampton, if you want info?
-
I can reccomend a dealer in Yorkshire who can let you try a few bikes BEFORE you buy?
-
Why would any post on specific issues youve had be deleted?
-
-
try the harpic non bleach bleach in a mainly black container.
-
Any one who gives Jotagas any money direct is a fool, imho. The british importer at the time before haven went to the factory himself to collect bikes, got the bikes loaded and then paid for them.
That says alot. Even going back that far one batch had no shock absorbers on (hadnt paid suppliers) so I would be very very careful.
