I really like the Dellorto on my 2011 250,smooth and clean running. Easiest thing to try is dropping the needle/raising the clip 1 notch,if still not smooth go with one step leaner carb slide but put the needle back when you do.
I put a 2014 header and muffler on,my silencer was to saturated too clean out,big difference in performance.
Do IRC have exceptionable traction when still seated on the rim? Reason I ask is one of my Vintage bikes has the Nuetech Tubliss system that secures the bead in place,would a IRC then be worth a go?
What Are your plans for the Airbox and Exhaust? On *HWMNBM's sight I think it advises against using 240 components with a 30x reed valve engines,don't know about piston port 300s though.
BTW,Oko that was on my 240 works even better on my 309 without any rejetting,haven't really ridden it on the main jet enough to truly evaluate,309 is gonna get a makeover moderately soon.
The looping out of the sections and or not adhereing to the imaginary line between markers is my pet hate... that is something the Frenchies love doing and see little wrong in it...
I know it takes more time to layout,but cannot you ribbon or tape the sections to keep riders "in bounds"? removes judgement calls and eliminates conflict between checker and rider.
If the sections are too big or long maybe just ribbon a few feet in front and behind of each flag to force the riding line.
Should you be using the clutch (other than to change gear) on a bike from the SWM era?
Why would the era of bike matter? When the section calls for clutch work use it! Tune your clutch and brakes so they work with minimum effort,it's labor that pays off.
Kawasaki Super Sherpa and Yamaha XT250 are both good choices for Trials type dual sporting,the Kawasaki won't take a trials tire though,plenty of D/S tire choices that are good.Possibly hunting down a TLR200 Reflex Honda if you want an even more trials type dual sport.
I have a Kawasaki KLX250,it's a great dualsport but since I am now a 95% trials only rider it feel too big to get into really tight stuff,but does well when I ride in D/S group rides.
Pavement bores the crap out of me.....plus I live due west of where I work,so commuting is riding into the sun both directions :-P not for me!
Don't know how you acquire the setup,can't be too dire,Zongshen is selling a 250cc adventure bike with this setup for 3500USD complete.Only caveat is efi likes to have 4 litres of fuel in the tank minimum to cool the fuel pump,I'm sure an enterprising soul could sort a solution.
Looks like Richard Allen is breaking("Parting Out" in USAspeak) a couple of 247s,same tank,different color,he ships to USA. Allensusedtrialsspares dot co dot uk,you can also find him on Facebook
Go to FB and join "Hard to find twinshock trials & aircooled mono",Also join "Trials Riders" (my group, and I also happen to own a 309)
I really don't care what rules you want to make if you go to the trouble to organize and set up a trial,I will ride without complaint as long as you're consistent with enforcement (and I don't even care if the checkers judge the rules slightly differently,I will adapt to each section's checkers as necessary) I have greatly enjoyed myself at both kinds of trials.
It's important to match your gearing to the sections you are riding in,When I set my gearing to ride the sections designed by the TY175 Yamaha guys first gear runs out so short it's only good for flat,tight sections,and second is still to high/fast,If I gear it a bit taller it first gear becomes much more usable,My clutch is a match for modern bikes so it can be used to negotiate the tighter sections and still have a longer pulling range for uphill runs.Running 11-44(I can't recall for sure the rear sprocket but that sounds right) I may swap on my SWM rear wheel and give even taller gearing a try,It's got a 39 tooth sprocket I think. Sorry,don't know the gearing on a 300 but the point is experiment until you find what works for you.
Doug , I've got a pristine 300 seat on a shelf ... Should I put it in a box and send it to you ? your welcome to it as, I'm never gonna use it at this point !

We could definitely use it up here,either myself or my good Buddy JimmyZ who I've gotten turned on to Fantic,he found a pristine 240 after riding mine plus now he's also picked up an absolute Rat 200 that we need to get ridable.still have my address?
Every little bit you lower the "seat" helps with turning the bike,easier to cant the bike over when the saddle doesn't touch your leg,I recently went back to the stock seat from just a flat plastic panel on the seatrails and can definitely tell a difference.I will be going right back to the flat "saddle" during this winters refresh for sure. If there was an option of Glenn's setup with a small alloy tank underneath that however would be my #1 choice!
Mine is like Glenn's,exception is I use Honda CR copy levers,cheaper,better fit for my hands. I also did the "Beta" clutch fix to mine,worth the time as It's been sweet ever since. Proper gear oil keeps mine shifting smooth through a entire Trial,ATF would start shifting hard on third loop.
