I think you would be better with mineral hydraulic oil?

so you can lift the back up and over a rock in your drive?

not sure that you can use Nibali's techniques to slow figures of 8 but there you go.

They need it do they?

if you have a specific problem work on that, start small. On a piece of flat ground with a small rock and try "helping" the back wheel over it. Then progress. Try contacting the inverness club, im sure they have a trial soon and you can help mark out sticking in a few flags and riding at the same tome with experienced riders will help no end.

does it have that silly 5mm screw in the middle of the diaphragm? Is this pinched up?

get it working and then sell it.

which would be fine if they were consistent but i gave up after 2 years as some conditions just caught me out every trial, but it was always a surprise. A mont is great when youre riding it but if you get in trouble it seems to suck you into holes.

try a brand new gas gas to your bike is ten years old.

i think no one does as it then condones the stop no stop rule that is the btc farce.

Tony Kaye from B and B i think is a fairly good rider and won his class some good few marks in front of Baldilocks (and even more me) in the Richmond no stop trial. One section he clearly stopped and then flicked the back around to create a better turn and clean the section. He definately stopped as it wasnt/isnt possible to keep the front moving when doing this but because he was moving he got a clean. this is where some problems arise. However we arent talking about this we are saying some riders stop for seconds and line up then go, this is where you're saying SSDT observing seems to favour some over others?

crack on then.

did border sort this?

this is probably where the problem lies, being lenient is not always fair. I think it was last year that richard Sadler rode big Dars clean and no stop where as others paused and got the same score. If observers are individually consistent its better but not really the answer.

so you bocked your airbox every time you pressure washed it? have you ever checked your airbox sealing as per pdi?

so youve never had an ignition cover leak in 30 years on a trials bike? the poster above never appeared to block either air box or exhaust? what and where would "condensate" if no water got in?

be sure to drain all oil and you may have to flush it through once or twice

ok. In plain english (not american) you cannot be sure where water has got in when you pressure wash. It could get in several places where you dont want it, air filter for example where water borne dirt could enter the engine when started. Water in the electrics around head stock or in the ignition side and so on. Its bad practice and most who know anything about trials mechanics wouldnt choose to do. maybe youve been lucky but i wouldnt spend 6k on a bike and take a chance for an hour of fettling. Im off now.

ill be watching you closely from now on......

oh dear, wheres forest gump when you need him.

Tags big bowls were simply down to the extreme steepness and consequent angle of fuel in the carb.

where have they all gone? where were they to begin with?

yes jack isnt that good at bike set up by the sound of it. Im pretty sure he has a 3,5 slide.

yep.
