My favourite trial of the season. Sadly can't go this year, due to a clash of events. @ Graham - I can observe on the Saturday though, if you are in need?

Cheers guys, Puller ordered. Main bearings/seals, plus piston, rings and gaskets on their way too! Anyone know the paint code for the casings? May as well tart them up while they're off .

Hi All, My mains are a bit noisy on my 315R (2000 model year). I need a flywheel puller to do the job and can see a 4RT one on the bay for £32... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FLYWHEEL-MAGNETO-PULLER-MONTESA-4RT-2005-/351312623639?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item51cbdd3817 Is this the same as a 315?? Cheapest 315 one I can find is £45 Discuss....

Many mono's have lost this post, mine included! The case saver have bolts on to the frame lug, above the pivot point for the swing arm (where the guide roller is mounted). You then don't need the broken mounting point. Hope this helps

Listen to the 'supportive' wife/girlfriend laughing at the rider at 4:00 minutes. I have one of those!

Hi John, I have a T4 SWB which is near enough the same size. Mine has a 2nd row of proper VW quick-release seats in, in a 2+1 configuration. I can fit: One bike in diagonally with all seats in (+ 6 people) 2 bikes with the double seat removed (+ 4 people) 3 bikes in with all rear seats removed (+ 3 people) Though usually I take out the single rear seat next to the sliding door, leaving 5 seats. Hope that makes sense!

Hi Magicals fans. The website is up and running, so I have ordered some springs at last! Let's hope they turn up.....

Yes, phone number please! Send me a PM if you don't want to post it on here. Ta.

Standard carb is a Dellorto PHBL, dunno if the Keihin is an improvement or not. I'm pretty happy with the standard one myself.

I'm after a set of 'Magicals' fork springs for my TY Pinky, but the website has been off for 'maintenance' for at least a month. Have they gone out of business, or can anyone offer a different explanation? Cheers, David

Hi Michael, There are a few things you can do - I did them all and my clutch is good now, smoother - much less snappy, bike starts in gear, etc. Replace the steel clutch plates with dimpled ones - I used Apico. They aren't too expensive. Make sure the clutch friction plates are fitted in the correct order as per the workshop manual - mine weren't!! Put it all back together and fill with Elf HTX740 (BVM can supply it) - expensive but good oil. It is not too big of a job. Change your ELF regularly, on mine if I find it difficult to select neutral from first, she's ready for an oil change. Hope this helps!

Nightmare. Momentary stop spotted by observer = 5 Momentary stop not spotted = 0 Did he stop? Or not??? Dabs are now obsolete, it's 5's or nowt. Aaarghh

Hi, I have V-Mar clamps on my 315 - very robust and good quality. Being a 315, I fitted the clamps only to the standard top yoke, but not an option for a 4RT I know. I'd recommend them though. Hope this helps.

I put V-Mar plates in my 315, very nice. They just up the leverage ratio a bit so you gain some stiffness. Never a bad thing . I would give the plates a try before spending ££££s on a shock. Other (cheaper) plates are available, I've only tried the M-Mar ones, so can't comment on the rest.

I put some V-Mar clamps and fatbars on mine http://www.vmar.com/barmounts.html Nice!
