  1. Im guessing a stator. mine went for 2 hours then needed replacing, yours has done well.
  2. what is the weight of X11 standard?
  3. Gas Gas did. Vertigo are going to. BVM used to.
  4. Is it one of these great rides round with 20 sections a day?
  5. Yes please, why have you changed your mind from thinking it a bad idea to good. Slightly hypocritical to say "hoards descending" then give them illegal locations.......
  6. noise - no discernable difference.
  7. It should have a performance edge, but only small. From probably 1980 we used to weld 30mm of straight tube in the bend on the 325's then the 340's came with a longer front pipe as standard i think(!). As one of the mods vesty and Reg May did they took this way further by re routing the front pipe and therefore increasing the length considerably more than the 30mm. This appeared on quite a few bikes that vesty rode so the asummption is, it is good and worthwhile. The achilles heel is the mid box which needs constant looking after and re packing depending on how much and how hard you ride a bit to keep the motor in top fettle, and therefore make the mod worthwhile.

    When I said it helps others to know where you are i meant general location, so arkansas usa will do bbk!
  9. but if they had been making shed loads they would have carried on?
  10. Brave man. 4rt made in Spain, are they still in Europe?
  11. Why did the other importer "pull out" answer this and JTG's track record and you will see why sales are so low.
  12. there is some point to your argument but every discipline has a top championship, it allows others to admire whats possible, some to aspire to whats possible, and give everyone the chance to ride at their highest level possible. To take your argument to the extreme no one should compete we should all play in our own back yards? The fact that the sport at the top level, also any sport for that matter, does not relate/seem impossible to the ordinary competitor doesnt mean we shouldnt have a World trials championship does it? A showcase is important surely. I have a scrapbook of my heroes Mick Andrews, mart, Bernie and the like, and the tricks and things they did. Alot of older riders will remember mick andrews going over a VW Beetle sideways, did we all go out the next week and I'll do that? The fact that the FIM have pulled the rug from the 125 championship and systematically slowly ruined the WTc seems to be as much of a problem as ever.
  13. "Thanks for that. Hopefully programmes like this will increase the acceptance of trials in the countryside and help end the association (in some peoples minds) with the negative side of MX and Enduro." Sorry have you changed your mind again?
  14. I actually think dadioff you may have won the award for "moving the topic as far away from the original as possible " award. The fact that edf has 66% and cgn 33% seems to have passed you by. Good luck to gas gas at least we might get a 2016 after all.
  15. Again PLEASE state where you are in the world!
  16. Ride a 4rt and you will see what addict means.
  17. they do but choose to ignore it. e mail thierry make sure he knows. Tbh a licence is a fraction of the outlay to get around europe to compete let alone japan.
  18. repsol 260cc standard crankcases?
  19. If gas gas owed 47m and actually owned the building outright then they would have had to use that as a credit line, so i think somethings lost in translation there. Regardless it looks good for the workers and the brand.
