Seen this a used pro gear lever bid up to

I has a 2000 250TXT and found it an excellent clubman bike, good power good suspension and reliable much better than my friends 97 Beta.

Or.... could we negotiate discounts for Trials Central members from the sites sponsors????????????????

I find with the screw further in the bike responds quicker and sharper to the throttle wheras when it is set furthur out maybe 4 turns there is a slight splutter on pickup (as its running a bit richer) this helps in muddy conditions. Its what ever you feel most comfortable with.

Look what Ive seen for sale Ital jet He even knows of some spares

heres a link from the US GasGas site its got pictures for all years GASGAS.com. It may help. Ian

I cut 20mm from each end of my bars with out any problems it suits me much better. I ride a GasGas but this shouldnt make any difference

How about this clicky me

Youve just bought the best mod ever from me!!! Thanks Ian

Just be carefull I went from GasGas to scorpa and hated it I'm now back on GasGas and it's much better for me

11 teeth is standard but I prefer 10 !! as its much better for the nadgery stuff.

I have done some UK enduros about 8 years ago, they can bee a good day out and if you choose the easiest level clubman B you end up with about 2 laps of 20 miles in a forest at a reasonable speed (can be really hard work if its boggy!!!) But, no entry on the day, expensive entry fee, you use loads of petrol, and its normally an early start and a late finnish!! Trials is much more sociable and laid back.

I have them for sale on Ebay click here I have also been looking for the post that Grimbo started, it seems to have vanished!!!!

Try this post from earlier in the year it may have some relavence to your problem.Starting

I always saw about 20mm off each end of my bars, mainly to stop me stretching too much when riding. I did hear somewhere that if you get in a push up position with your elbowws at 90 degrees then measure where your hands are this should be your optimum bar width??????????????/ I have made bar ends that have a 10 mm dia by 2mm shoulder so that you only cut a 10mm hole in the end of the grip so it is clamped over the end of the bars. This means it never moves and never gets water and mud in it when you fall off. Ian

Ring Mr Birkett!!!!!!!!!!!!1

GasGas UK also say Silkolene should be avoided for that reason R2.

I just made one out of stuff lying about in the garage, Its has a black knob and a spring to allow easy adjustment.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just to bring things down to earth, I had an 02 SY250 and I just couldnt get on with it the rear suspension was either too bouncy or too choppy (I often wonder if the shock was faulty) the clutch was quite sharp and hard to control, the big jump into 6th gear was anoying over the moors (I know you dont loose any marks but is all part of your day out). You also will have lots of fun welding up the clutch casing of that wide engine every so often (

What more can I say, the route was better than the previous 2 years all sections were sensible and even the weather was perfect! And where esle can you get a home cooked hot meal for a couple of quid ??

Is there a number to make sure I dont get any Scott regs????????????

Are the top dust covers in good nick? And it helps if you put a bit of grease between the dust cover and the seal. Ian

I try to avoid soapy water, what makes the tyre easy to slip on makes it easy to slip off (at 6psi). Use a motocross tyre for practice then the trials tyre will just fall on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a 1979 247 with air forks, I seem to remember they had springs in them but they were very soft and you had to pump in a small amount of air to get them to the correct stiffness for your wieght 10 to 20 psi I think!!

I fitted one to my mates 04 300, (I had to machine it to increase the inside diameter to fit the 300). The power is now a bit softer low down and its easier to start. Ian
