  1. Taken me a few years to answer this one but is the driver MIck Grant?
  2. Everywhere is long drive in Oz ?
  3. It is an interesting topic. We’ve just ridden in the NSW State Twinshock Champs which was two day event in a beautiful part of the Hunter Valley and a 5 hour drive. They ran 7 yes 7 sections on day 1 with 6 laps and an enforced lunch break of 1 hour . A very neat trick was to ride the afternoon lap sections in reverse direction. Day two 5 laps five sections. Was it enough riding? Well no one complained - in fact quite the opposite....
  4. The Gas Gas kickstart is not a direct replacement it needs modification. You need to check the shaft spline size too as there are two different sizes.
  5. Here's another one... did you know that that more than 1/3 of the riders currently running are over 40? there's hope for the oldies yet Or... it's a statement of what's happening to Trials
  6. Sounds like it’s running lean.
  7. As above could be any number of things but I would start with fuel flow - Dump the existing fuel, rinse any crud out from the tank, strip and clean the carby, Here's a link that might help. https://www.motorcycleclassics.com/mc-how-to/amal-concentric-carburetor-overhaul Cheers
  8. Never a good plan to seal up breather holes.
  9. Got them on two of my bikes. V happy with them.
  10. Hairdryers work to make rubber a bit more pliable - steam not so good, water and carbies don't really get on very well.

    There should be a washer, poke around with a fine screwdriver and see if you can hook it out. Assuming you have the correct flywheel puller you undo the centre bolt, screw the puller body in as far as it will go and then fit the centre bolt and keep screwing it in until the flywheel pops off. Keep an eye out for and don’t lose the woodruff key that positions the flywheel on the shaft. Cheers
  12. Sorry if I offended you, no intent to do so. My apologies and don’t let a whimsical comment keep you from posting here there is a wealth of knowledge, advice and encouragement here, along with a smattering of ****ocks. Cheers
  13. Just in case you weren’t aware, the Bultaco factory mixed paint ‘by eye’ which means that in terms of RAL or any other colour measurement system ‘spot on’ is but a whimsical notion. ?
  14. Magic numbers on the Sherco 300 for me were 122 and 42. Cheers
  15. Top tip is make sure that the guard is really clean and free from grease - use a pre paint cleaner or carb cleaner, don't try and stretch it and pay attention the any sharp corners or edges on the sticker as they catch first on your clothing.

    Throttle cable

    Depending on how far forward your bars are set if forward twist the throttle so the cable outlet is more upright and run the cable behind the bar pad
  18. If the frame is bent new pegs won't solve it - cheapest 'repair' is get someone to stick a blob of weld on the bottom of the peg where it touches the frame and file grind it back till you have a level peg.
  19. Ride ever tightening figure of eights slowly on flat ground without using the clutch then move onto a slope and do the same thing. Best training available
  20. Call Paul Arnott at the Hell Team - he'll sort you out.
  21. Stuff em with newspaper.

    evo 250 or 300

    300 every time. More torque, which means power when you need it and more control, you have the throttle in your right hand. Try it for your self before you choose.
