I think I lost my dinner ticket

Thats what I put on my entry form Gizza, I always get a new bike at the event can't do much else living over here, so I get sat to set it up and run it in a bit, another hour or two Sunday morning, then I get a whole week to run it in properly

Ryan will look after you. Few things I have done, if eletrical cables are over the head steady bracket, unplug and run them under it. Oil breather tube, add some to it, so if it does spit some out, and it will if you get her upside down or overfill it, and route it so it doesn't get all over the motor. Use Stock plug gapped at 0.6mm 24 thou. Change oil as per instructions, when filling 700cc in right side filler plug first, then 100 cc in left side plug, make sure the plugs you take out go back in the same hole. Changed mine many times now, trust the measurement, I wasn't sure one time I rode it going by the sight glass and added a few cc's to bring it up the sight glass, she spat it out when I gave her some rev it got on the exhaust looked bad like it was on fire, since I knew what it was I wasn't too concerned, just drained and made sure I put the correct amount in when I got home, also that was what made me extend the oil breather hose. They do take a long time to run in,

Consistency is a big factor in trials, and you can't get more consistent than a clean event. Well done.

Looks like a TC woftam team to me

Paul, did you buy the bike new or used ? The exhaust does get hot compared to a 2 stroke and they will melt wires if in contact with the exhaust, when you say it was running hot, was it pushing coolant out of the overflow?. Is there fuel in the airbox? What jet sizes are in the bike, easy to check without removing the carb, just remove the bowl? I would take it along to the dealer and have him check it out, if you are not sure of what you are doing you could make it worse, and there isn't a lot of information about on the bikes yet. Also where are you located ?

:beer:Me!! but that sad bugger from Coln Kin'll the grey won't.

You mean like the ones that have been front page of TC for the past few days http://www.trialscentral.com/cms/showartic...?articleID=1643

Only place you are going to get water into the gearbox without drowning the bike is the water pump seal, if you changed the seal but not the bearing and or shaft, you may find the seal has worn a slight grove in the shaft, so just replacing the seal will not always cure the problem. If this is the first oil change since changing the seal I would change it one or two more times just to make sure that it isn't residue from the initial contamination. I take it the fan is cycleing on and off correctly and the bike isn't running to hot.

Why! didn't the duct tape do the job John ? bet you were pi$$ed having buy none slip floor covering

What price would you give me on him staying with Montesa, and how much can you afford to loose http://www.trialscentral.com/cms/showartic...?articleID=1642

When he finally stops kicking your ass down the road

There is an early cut-off point for wide boy's just look for the wide boy with the lost look on his face

I see there is a new one forsale in the classified adds, half price, don't mess about go get it bought.

If honeymoon is ower, shouldn't be long until your on TC every night then

Wouldn't it be cool if the TDN could not be ridden by any rider who has scored world championship points in the last 15 years, but must consist of a team made of of ex works riders from the eighties. On their works bikes of course.

Some fresh parts are coming to test, just keep testing stuff till we get the answer, will post the cure once known

Ho...er....hum..aaa........well...... yes

A slim healthy lad like me don't need no lard a*** heavy duty spring, I know you can get them off RYP, though. Looks like Al, is the best man to answer your question.

Spring ? sorry Copemech, lead me to the question and I'll see if I can answer it. Would that be spring in Texas or spring in Oregon

Isn't TTC kinda european

You mean like a rider is a good twenty feet from the end cards when the time whistle blows but still doesn't get penalised a five. It's thier problem let them sort it out, providing those who want too, can go watch, I don't think many care two hoots what they do at world level. Two different games. and should be run that way. For younger riders to learn the tricks of the world round trade, they need to be learning them off the world round tricksters, isn't that what the 125, and junior championships are about ?

I agree 100% Andy, what's good for the world championship is good for the world championship. But is it good for the sport of trials carried out every weekend all around the world,don't clubs need to be able to do what is best for the individual club. Same goes for young riders showing promise, does the club sacrifice it's membership by catering for an hopeful ? The question should be what is best for the sport of trials ? if the sport at club level can thrive, the world class riders will be the first ones who get the benefit from it. My take on world round rules is let them get on with it, just leave the rest of us alone, history has shown trying to comply at club level kills entries. The FIM have now three classes and section severities to get the same or less participation than they had in the one class 20 years ago, why?

Your the man K..........that gave a new meaning to Trotters burn

I would define it as more of a steady gallop than a paddle
