Agreed, I wouldn't consider my heed to be big but it looks like a melon on a toothpick in a helmet! (HEBO)

Hi, I bought a road registered bike and just filled in a SORN. You'll get a confirmation back and thats it!

Hi just wondering if you managed to get a side stand for the bike? I have the same problem now as mine snapped at the weekend. Cheers ;-) (2007 scorpa)

I just ordered front pads from eBay for my 07 sy for

Thanks for the quick reply mate, one pack of dog turds are now ordered and on their way to me..... :-)

Hi just wondered if it was possible to repair a punctured trials tyre as it is with a car tyre by "plugging" it. Or do they take so much stick that it's not a good idea? Cheers.

Thats great, thanks for all the replies it really helps being a 'newbie'. The thing with the dot 5 fluid, the system says only use dot 4 does it really matter? Thinking back too, there were loads of steep down hills where i was riding which would explain the fluid heating up to boiling point!

Hi all, out riding my 250 techno yesterday, the rear brake became stuck on. The brake pedal was fully depressed (out) but it was still locked on. I freed it by giving it a "gentle" kick only for it to stick on again later. Getting back to the car, the pads were as you can imagine quite smelly and hot. Any ideas as to why they would just lock on themselves? Cheers

Hi i bought a 97 techno 250 the other week. If you want i can email you the owners manual in PDF format, containing info on the types of oils to use etc, i found it really handy. PM me with your email address if you want me to send you it. Regards Martyn.

Hi all i too am new to trials and bought a 97 techno. The clutch still now and again seems to not work even when the bike is warm. Gets quite annoying when you're in a tricky area. I used a light gear oil which help a little but after reading this i think i will get it in the garage for the plates to be changed. It must be worth the money!

I'm in Whitehaven, where are you gonna ride the bike once you have one? I'm struggling to find places you can "legally" go round here.

Hi i have just bought a beta techno and haven't yet noticed the fan kicking on the cooling system. (only been on it twice). Should the fan come on more or less straight away, or will it be a while? I'm not sure how to check the cooling system without risking over heating the engine (if it isn't working). Thanks in advance for any replies.

Where abouts in Cumbria you from mate?
