No you're thinking of Kuroyama off the huge pipe, I was there!

Has the clutch started slipping after you put the new plates in?

Just remains to be seen how the new 350 four stroke goes, which is a replica of the factory bike although price will be substantially higher than current prices (apparently)

Rumours say that it will be sold in limited numbers to help offset some of the development cost, but the two strokes shall continue to be the main sellers.

Rev the thing then dump the clutch, Beta's are not short of power, are you sure you have it wide open? any bike will get up a short sharp climb, it's only the BIG long climbs where slight differences between bikes begin to show up, watch the other riders very closely and study their technique, don't be afraid to ask a good rider for advice, knowing the right way to tackle an obstacle is WAY more important than having more power on a bike that doesn't need it.

Also, it's surprising just how cheap you can get good oil for, if you shop around, try your local motor factors first!! If they stock castrol car oil for example, they can usually get most other castrol oils too if you ask.

What happened to recycling the van oil sparky?

Nice picture, but is that a sneaky DAB i see on the blind side?

so.. wonder boy nd techno will use be doin the crimbo trial at anat?it gna b a hard 1 jus thot id warn use.   :hat:

Looks like wonderboy has been deposed as the illiterate King of this board!!

C'mon Gavin, surely you're not going to give in without a fight?

I have been using Shell Advance fully synthetic oil in my TLR250 for ages now, change after every 5 trials. No problems with clutch slip or anything, don't know if ultra is a motorcycle specific oil like Advance, you should always use a motorcycle specific oil when using synthetic, as it is designed for use with wet clutches.

Crikey! no news since Dec 11th!!

Better check the grapevine is working properly!!

Keep Dreaming. 7 world titils with Montesa Hmmmmmmmm

But how many world titles for Beta (indoor & out) Blunderboy?

Yes, I think Marky boy did one, a Fuji replica if I remember.

I have to say you (must have ball of steel )

Gavin

Only the one then? What happened, terrible workshop accident?

Apparently, montesa/honda are homing in on the spec for their 4 stroke machine, they currently have several size/spec engines running at the moment, although a 350cc version has been abandoned as it made too much power in the wrong way!!

Mark Freixa will be riding a 4 stroke for more than a few rounds this coming season, but Dougie will be 2 stroke mounted all year.

Ok its in German, but there are some nice pictures.

True.

get some from your local sign company in vinyl. Any size and style you want, costs next to nothing.

I'm convinced he's a 50 year old English teacher who is only on here trying to wind us up with comedy grammar, if so, it's having the desired effect!

Not on commission are we Sparky?

I have seen the future of this country......and i'm worried!

Do you think wonderbra is a typical example of youth today?
