Hello Bultoboy. The best way to make a Bultaco turn tighter is to file or grind the steering stops down. You usually have to shorten the tank bolt as well. You can also put longer shocks on it. Don`t change the steering head angle as the mudguard mounts will hit the frame and the mudguard will hit the exhaust. Bully Lover.
Take the plastic caps of and grind down the stops till it hits the tank refit for clearence. reduce the nut and head of tank bolt too.
I had Map 11, nice to ride with but always felt dead when starting. Went to Map 13 and start is much better, 1st kick most times cold - hot what ever. I have noticed that even the smallest throttle movement when kicking over can make the bike harder to start.
Top of stroke, good hard and sharp prod down and back - lean over the handle bars as you kick it over. Will be good with the battery pack, amazed it was not on all the bikes to start with - a battery on any fuel injected bike makes firing up at kick starting so much easier.
So OSSA, make this part a CHEAP UPGRADE - if you put it on the "Factory bikes" as standard ,,,,, put it on all bikes at low cost --- then the forums on hard starting will stop
Perhaps send a link to this thread to the ossa importers and ossa themselves.
i really believe that if there is a problem then solving it is good pr surely?
Really dont understand the fuss with getting tyres off trials rims - put wheel on the floor ideally with something about an 1" under opposite side of rim (bit of wood or concrete lip at end of garage ) and stick your heel in to the bead. Jump up and down a few times and job done. Worked for me for last 10plus years -(Mich and IRC).
It depends on the bike/wheel, morad rims are alot harder than your d i d, would like to see you try to get a tyre off thats not been touched for a year.
I reckon about the same helpfulness but yours is also humorous so it gets extra points
The idea here is to help a guy, surely a reference to the bultaco list is more use than saying I didnt answer a specific question, which others have done now anyway.
Please try and help others (like everyone else has) rather than criticising me for a partial answer.
I read earlier in this forum some comments good and bad about jotagas so i decided to give my comments as proof is in the pudding.
Firstly i would like to say well done to JT and his team for starting a new company in hard times. Sometimes a resession can be the right time to start as i did several years ago.
Also to steve, but i think the bike did the talking for him to start JTG uk when testing in spain.
Now after nearly a week on the bike i have to say it is brilliant. Ive had many bikes sometimes 3 a year in my younger days, this bike is the best one.
The power delivery is super smooth and the handling ist class.
Build quality spot on.
Also its very forgiving, got me out of trouble several times.
I hadn,t ridden for 6 months up until last week and ive got the bug again, say no more.
depends who you are buying from maybe you just have to accept that aus is a long way from anywhere theres got to be some disadvantages for living in paradise?
