    280 gear oil?

    Don't worry there's nothing wrong with ATF. It is transmission oil and works perfectly.

    Air box

    I have used plastic numberplate bolts for 2years and they have saved my airbox/mudguard many times because they do just pop off. Then you can just replace them for 10p each. I see loads of people using zip ties to hold the mudguard on. They are too strong and they tear through the edges of mudguards so I would recommend swapping them for plastic bolts.
  3. Put it in your Gasser, The Pro models only use about 350ml so will cost
  4. How close is Church Stretton to you? Trials & Tribulations are Sherco Dealers.
  5. All brands should be made to the same spec which is 'ATF Dextron III' I have used Castrol 'TQ-D'about

    AJP Brakes

    I found a suitable RawlBolt that fitted inside the pistons tightened it up, then grip the rawlbolt in the vice and wiggle the caliper off.

    Clutch adjustment

    If your bike is a Pro model then you should use; ATF Dextron III
  8. I use fully synthetic oil at 75:1 ish 70ml to 5 Litres
  9. Oh No, your post is a bit too late! By the time I could get there it will have finished! Mud, Filth, Bikes and Sexpo sounds like a good time to me.

    Goggles

    For Enduro I have been using 'Quick Straps' they are alternative straps with self adhesive fittings to put on the sides of your helmet. A stud on one side and velcro on the other, when not using them you can with a single hand wrap them round the back of your helmet. I've never lost any!

    Boot Damage

    Me to I cut an old oil bottle and extended the existing guard (Forwards) it worked very well and cost nothing. Alternatively if you have those swing arm protectors they have an integral guard that will protect your boot, I've got them on my newer bike,
  12. Main differences are; Flat grippy sole, Lighter weight and more flexible, more control for rear braking and moving your feet on the pegs. I started trials using my old Alpinestar Tech8's. (live and learn) The next week I got some Trial boots and they are just the job!

    Front Brake

    Use some Copper grease on the back of the pads should stop them squealing. I've got galfer pads in mine they are very keen I only use one finger, had EBC before they didn't seem as good! but EBC work well in my enduro.
  14. I've got 'GAR' and would buy them again if I needed to! Comfy and they are quite cheap.
  15. I have just added another Diag to my previous reply, Have a look it has part No's included!
  16. This is a diagram for 96-2000 models with 'Kokusan' ignition. http://www.gasgas.com/Pages/Technical/Electrics/wiring-kokusan-96-2000.html Found another one with part numbers included http://www.trialspartsusa.com/diagrams/Kok97to00.jpg

    Chain tention

    I set mine with the wheels off the ground, tension untill 15mm between tension block and the swingarm. I find doing it this way, when the suspension is compressed to where the chain is at the tightest point there is still 20mm slack. Hope this helps.
  18. Welcome to TC To help save your levers, put a couple of wraps of PTFE tape round the H'Bars then fit your lever clamps. I've not broken a lever since doing this and I have a lot of 'offs'
  19. I am using Castrol TQ-D (it is ATF Dextronlll) most car spares shops sell it.

    TXT300 pro

    Those settings are same as mine except for the 35 jet I have a 33 jet but my bike is a 250cc. I've not got the spec to confirm this for the 300, maybe another 300 owner could. The float heights should obviously be the same as each other but if you set them toward the higher position (only by 1/2 a millimetre) this can also help your hot starting.

    TXT300 pro

    1 1/2 turns is not enough, I'm sure your hot start trouble would be less when you set it to 3 1/2 as it will richen it up a bit. I have known some people (like the previous owner of my last bike)to turn this screw in to lean it off because the plug keeps fouling. Then I find they are running 50:1 petroil because the book says so and in reality we know 70:1 or 80:1 works better.

    TXT300 pro

    You're right. The flush screw is for the mixture its usually 3 to 3.1/2 turns out. the more turns out the richer the mixture! The proud one is the tick over, turn this to suit!
  23. Dextron III (Castrol TQ-D) About 350cc if it was well drained. Fill it up to between halfway and 3/4 up the sight window. Run it for a few minutes, then let it settle and check with bike vertical it should still be halfway up!
  24. I know the Fox, He has had a lifetime of spinning spanners and bet you he was not the one using Gay rubber gloves, Glad to hear you got your problem sorted though!
  25. I use Castrol TTS (Fully Synthetic) 70:1. runs sweet,
