2006 Sy250 Long Ride, Stuck Clutch.
If I remember rightly some Sy's were prone to a partial failure of the weld on that(pictured) actuator arm where the shaft disappears into the crankcase? Could this cause the symptoms you describe?..maybe a Scorpa pro' could chime in here. YES - But normally slowly loose adjustment as weld breaks. G520 I suggest you have a close look.

Two Oil Plugs?
The drain plugs are really soft metal. Mine rounded off the first time I drained when the bike was new. I gently drifted it loose and replaced with a cut down standard type bolt. No probs since.

Trials Around Oxford
Basically if you want to run an event reasonably close to your home clubs locality you have to use any land that is available and affordable even if it is not 'brilliant'!

Scott Trial
I have heard very experienced riders say that the 6 days is a 'Stroll in the park' compared with the Scott.

Super Trial
Superb Event. Unfortunately Graham Jarvis and Sean Morris did not make it, but it was well worth spectating to see the fantastic riding of all the competitors. Stu and Co. did an amazing job getting the sections just right. Many seemed impossible but all were conquered if not cleaned. Michael Brown was incredible on the day and took the win reasonably easy from James Dabill. Alexz took a excellent third place having his first ride after recent knee surgery and his Dad did a good job commentating all day. Jack Challoner took a well deserved fourth spot after some phenomenal rides on a 125. A real good tenners worth of entertainment - Well done to all involved - hope it becomes an annual fixture.

Trials Central Performance
I find on 4.2Mbps the front page, recently, first time takes ages but the forums are very reasonable, but as it happens when I went to reply to this topic that page took a fair while to load. Do not like to criticise as Trials Central is a excellent website.

Unleaded Or Super Unleaded?
I would say, try it on unleaded and if it runs fine, that is good enough.

Sy250 Noisy Exhaust
Had a long split on the middle box welded a few weeks back and the bike 'rides' so much better. Still would be interested if anybody has tried an alternative back box that is re-packable.

Hells Gate 2008
Jarvis did well to keep close to Taddy considering he seemed to spend ages just waiting to retrieve his bike after that crash. Must say I am surprised that he did have a spill there as you would think that section would be less risky on a Trials Bike.

Bash-plate Rubbers
If none of the above work, or the flats are too damaged, very carefully drift the edge round to loosen it and obviously replace. I sourced a bolt/screw for a few pence from a local fixings company and just cut it to the correct length.

Carburator's Hard To Get To...
Had a Scorpa for 3 years - I ride most weeks in all conditions, regularly clean the air filter. Carb off once! Not a big problem.

Footpegs For Sy250
If there is plenty of meat left on them, put them in a vice and give them a good filing until you have got some new sharp edges - a large 'rat tail' file I find is best for this.

Sy250 Noisy Exhaust
Thanks guys - I will strip out the centre box and check it when I have time.

Sy250 Noisy Exhaust
My SY250 exhaust has gradually become noisier. I guess this is because the packing has been lost in the rear box. Is there anything that can be done except replacement? Also is there a repackable item available?

Hopping
Being a real 'oldie' I have tried hopping, with very little success, over many years. Is there any other 55+s out there who have obtained those skills much later in life?
