Best to sort it properly, You may see yourself waiting at a section next to the unlucky buyer as posted above 'trials is a small world' When you sell again In the future it's good to hear people commend you by recommending your bikes as well looked after to other buyers Good reputation is earned over time but can be lost in seconds.

I'm another one for ATF Dex III, I've never used anything else. Brand name not so important its the spec Dex III to look for. Castrol, Comma, Carlube, Halfords own, etc

ATF will be fine, it's the fully synthetic that has caused the fibre material to swell and debond from the plates. Mine drags a bit and feels more progressive and neutral can only be found by using a hand on the shifter. Clutch burning yes that is how you do it but I've never done this so I can't comment..

Mine took about six weeks but it was the soft tissue and torn membranes between the ribs that still hurt for about twelve weeks. Drink more Guinness it may not help but I couldn't do much else. More of this and none of this

I've recently bought my second pair.

The way it was described to me was that spring is slightly thinner and the plate is machined to accommodate it. I would like to make the clutch lighter on my 04 by just changing the spring and ignore what they told me. Their theory sounded plausible but I doubt it would cause a great problem.

Fluid type wont make any difference to lightness, they changed to mineral when some bikes leaked brake fluid into the trans oil. I was told by Gasser that if you change the spring to 06 you also need to change the retaining ring to 06 as a matched pair because it would have the effect of changing the measurement of the clutch fingers. consequently it wouldn't be as light as an OEM 06 clutch.

ACU license? Do I need one before I do a trial? Or can I just get a day one just to start? Licence rules! (ACU) It's called a registration and costs £10. they run from 1st Jan to 31st Dec. They don't do one day tickets in Trials like in they do for Enduro. You have to be a member of an ACU club and then they will give you a unique code and then you can apply for one. Some clubs will let you ride if you turn up and join their club, with a fully completed application form in a paid envelope so they can endorse it and then they should post it. They can be renewed online but if it's your first one you will need to attach a passport photo to the form post it, Here's a link to the application form; http://www.acu.org.uk/Uploaded/1/Documents/2013-licences/2013-ACU-Trials-Registration-Form.pdf Rick.

Manchester 17 dead easy trials are really are easy they are aimed towards getting kiddies started. I've not seen a Macc dead easy trial so I have no comment but someone on here I'm sure will be able to. There is a charity event at Heaton house farm on 26th Aug that all the local clubs organise and this would be a very good choice.

Brilliant ! You're not daft

''...............well something would be fresh. '' Hmm, I think I understand where your / it's coming from. The flow I think should be drawn from the helmet so the air stays ambient instead of the heat from the fan motor making your helmet hotter I look fwd to your next comment Zippy!

Ventilation is air movement, if you are not moving then probably no ventilation. Here's an idea!! A fan unit attached to something like a wait belt and an air duct to the helmet feeding/drawing sounds quite plausible

Ben, Not many at your age would even think of stripping an engine to fix it. Well done Sir!

Welcome to TC. Don't be disheartened you will find out everything on here. I am a Gasgas owner so cant help you much with Beta specific issues. You need to find a local club and ride with people, You don't say where you're located so have a look on the ACU website for the club finder and see which is closest to you. Trials is good fun I'm sure you will agree. Rick.

I recon the shape looks more like Krighton off Red Dwarf

I agree @ 100:1 it's hardly worth putting it in at all.

Very pleased with my Airoh. any helmet can get hot because polystyrene is heat insulation and so needs vents (more the better) I would buy the same again! I previously had a 'Shiro' with vent holes and I cut the holes in the polystyrene to make them bigger but without airflow they don't work. It was a cheap helmet with rubbish foam padding that just gets sodden and then it runs down your face and back of your neck. Yuk.

Fully Synthetic oil at 70 or 75 to 1 is what most people run. Some riders in USA run up to 100:1 The book says 2% which is 50:1 it must be another mistake. I tried this when I got my first Pro and it just kept oiling up every 10 min.

The manual is wrong, I put 380ml in mine.

The 08+ front and back mudguards will fit yours. The 2010 Raga rep and normal 2011's will not. They have new the frame, airbox and rear guards.

The stanchions look like 04's. try a magnet to see if they are steel or aluminium,. the ally ones are necked down in diameter between the yokes.

The police have no concern what so ever about stolen bikes, Their parting words to me when mine got nicked were 'I hope you manage to find them' You're right the 'Exponential Breeding Bacterial Scum' have nothing to lose, when they get your bike seized off them they will just steal another. The campaign to seize all illegal off road bikes really does put wood on the fire to keep bike theft blazing!!!!

Kickstarts are a rip off. Try find one on ebay but they are rare second hand.

Quenching aluminium will work harden it, It should be heated and kept hot for a while to normalise, then let it cool slowly. When you've straightened it repeat the normalising again so it will be ductile and next crash it should just bend instead of snapping. I have managed to do this 4 times on the same lever (Brembo) before it eventually gave up.

I think this is the wiring diag for your model and it shows both rectifier and regulator. hope this helps. http://www.trialspartsusa.com/diagrams/Kok2002Pro.jpg
