If you ride in mud or slick conditions stick with Dunlop or Michelin. If never touching mud then ride a clapped out used one of the above. Using an ibex or Shinto is cool only if you need some rubber between the rim and you. Riding in Australia once was great but traction was every where. Riding in mid west us, Central Europe and north east us has me loving tire engineering from the pros. I use irc on only tubed rears because the bead wants to roam and not stay where it's told. --Biff

Whole bikes broken down into two standard pallets is about 1000 usd one way with ups. --biff

Pm me if you want and we will share contact info. www.motatrials.com --Biff

With a bed extender or just tail gate down it is possible to get two bikes in the maverick. took one to the rents house and got 35mpg to central NY from Michigan and back. Fwd hybrid lariat. Im biased of course and in love! 😍 --Biff

talon tg109 will do the trick as well but you didnt want to wait the several months durring covid for uk shipping... --Biff

Posting this here as i know i will want to refer to this again someday in the future. As im modifying my 175 with 350 mono stuff i needed to go up to a 520 chain but my counter shaft sprocket has been a PITA to get right... so here it goes. Dear future Biff, Hows it going? Wow yea i can see you haven't missed a meal. Well as you asked the counter shaft 520 sprocket from a 1980-1993 kx125 will work on the Ty175. Stay well bud! --Past Biff

so bad a... --Biff

Ride or spectate nationals... good times will be had in the states. https://www.mototrials.com/ --Biff

We have one in Michigan and have had a few visit from canada before covid. When i visited mike at tryalshop he had a few around. Good power good beginner bike. --Biff

flush flush and flush again. also give the coolant a few cc to expand. --biff

Every three rides and on GasGas its type F atf if it had not been converted to Autotrac transfercase fluid. I find standard ATF to be hard to find in europe but that is usually because of the lack of those transmissions. --Biff

I agree with Lineaway on this one. No one needed to ride my bike for me before covid and i have a face for social distancing so lets ride! --Biff

That just means its time to re-arch the pan. —Biff

Txt editions have a crank case bottom end drain plug for this. Remove the skid plate and the plug is on the bottom of the big end. Wish others did this... —Biff

There used to be a great trial on hunter mountain. Grand parents lived in boiceville. Jim is an amazing resource out of oneonta. —biff

Welcome! Check out the group from 3d and d4. Growing up in Caz myself you have a ton of people in your neighborhood that are trials enthusiast. Between tryals shop and those two groups you should be all sorted. —Biff

Hey have you all been hearing about corduroy pillow cases? No? Weird! They've been making headlines! --Biff

Well you are going to have to look. Clutch baskets from this era were known to wear grooves in themselves where the plates ride. That can cause the plates to stick and suddenly break free. With this home made bushing idea it really caused a delay / slack feeling transitioning from coast to accel. 3 and a half years later its still working for me. --Biff

That is a bad water pump seal. If you didn't change out the water pump shaft that rides on that seal then it would also cause the leak. It is the only place on a pro that water can get from the coolant into the transmission. The shaft can wobble if the brass bushing holding the shaft is enlarged as well. --Biff

Ha Zelda... Nice! --Biff

These Michigan boys are really tearing it up these days! Woot Frankenmuth! --Biff
