Honda RS you posted this picture a while ago, I was wondering what colour paint you used as it looks more orangey than the original colour of my 240 frame (under the tank where it hasn't faded) and looks like a better colour match. Also what coil is fitted to the bike, does it use a different ignition pick up etc?

Can anyone tell me what size the thread is on a 240 flywheel puller?Thanks.

Not true! It won't happen suddenly but a 309 is going to be 13-14 years old. I have got a 301 which was fouling plugs very quickly, changing the needle & needle jet for new ones (of the same size) stopped the fouling but also leaned things off so much that it started to pink & I had to raise the needle a notch.

You don't need lights for an MOT, Check this link

Looks like one of these to me but its difficult to see, could you post a smaller picture? There should be a number on the frame, engine, exhaust etc; FMXXX, if you ring Bill Pye he will be able to tell you what you have got.

Bleeding the clutch might help, it reduced the drag on my 03 Pro.

Does anyone know what the primary drive & gear ratios are for a 2003 250 Pro? I can't find them anywhere.

Thanks for the info everyone. So a 200 (non mini) Majesty has the same frame as the 250 & 320 by the sound of things? Also, are the Whitehawk frames any better or worse than the Majesty ones, and did they use a std Yamaha tank or are there Whitehawk tanks as well?

What is the difference between the original Majestys and the new ones you can buy now? As I understand it the new ones are built using NOS frames from John Shirt and most other bits are TY. Did the original ones have the fibreglass tank or were they alloy?

When you changed the oil did you use a different type than was already in there? I have found that using Silkolene light gear oil (75/80w) causes the clutch to drag like a b@stard, but Putoline light gear oil (75w) works fine. Lots of people swear by ATF but GG UK told me not to use it with 2004/05 clutch plates only with 2002/03 ones. If the clutch fluid is low top it up & bleed any air out, if it still drags take the clutch out & measure it per the GG website(s), you may need to replace the friction plates, cost about

On my 03 Pro I took the airbox lid off, put a bead of Loctite silicone around the airbox seal, coated the lid with silicone grease where it touches the seal and replaced the lid. Hasn't leaked since. Also, the teat was missing from the drain hole in my airbox so I glued a rubber flap (made from a piece of inner tube) over the hole, seems to let water out but not in.

If you can't read the numbers on the bearings measure them and check this; Bearing sizes. I find that my local bike shop is as cheap as local bearing suppliers. Make sure you get sealed bearings though (2RS suffix).

Slightly off topic, but have you looked up xenophobic in the dictionary? I thought trials was an international sport, hope you don't ride a Beta!!

Sounds like IRC tyres are fairly well thought of, as an all round tyre are they better than Dunlop, Michelin, Pirelli, etc?

I agree with bigfoot 111%!!

All new trials bikes seem to come with Michelin tyres fitted, are they better than other makes or just cheaper? Do different makes of tyre work better in different conditions? What tyre pressures are best for different conditions?

How does using an unlit propane torch help with the leak finding, what happens when you find a leak? Does it also work with Butane?

My brass bits aren't parallel with the gasket surface, one end is 1.5mm higher than the other, is that wrong?

I find one of the most rewarding parts of motorcycle maintenance is eating all the takeaways necessary to provide the empty cartons

If you apply the same force, (i.e. press the brake pedal just as hard) then friction is not dependent on the surface area.

It looks like this;
