  1. I use Castrol TTS (Fully Synthetic) 70:1. runs sweet,
  2. Regulation TSR33 Offensive Behaviour, 'Any rider reported to the CofC for arguing or being offensive to an Observer, or other offical, renders that rider liable to disiplinary action.'
  3. This seems to be a good fix. 5 weeks later, it looks just the same as when I put it on and no oil leaks
  4. Might be worth you having a look at Enduro/Mx grips, there seems to be more choice, ProGrip do some called 'PillowTop' they're very soft and feel bigger in diameter, I had a pair on my enduro bike and no blisters.
  5. Been using Apico 3 finger for ages and not managed to break one yet, I keep trying to. I put a couple of wraps of PTFE tape round the handlebars under the lever clamps so they rotate during a crash. Forged levers are very tough and cast levers are brittle.
  6. Mine was fitted with a guide loop attached to the lower fork clamp, One of the pinch bolts is longer and has a spacer behind it to keep it away from the fork.

    Gear Lever

    I did the same as you, Filed it and fitted it as close as poss, At the time my enquiries came up with nothing, there is only one lever for the Pro model. As long as you have got the lever tight on the spline it will be fine.
  8. My mate aquired a nice 07 pro for a good price off the pistonheads site. after looking at so many paggered older bikes it was worth paying a couple of hundred more for one that needed nothing doing to it! Dont get me wrong there may be a something like an 04 thats had loads spent on but will likely sell word of mouth. My old bike sold the same day on Macctrials website. Try asking around some clubs or go to a trial. good luck.
  9. I got some strange looks from the shop assistants, it made me think I should have asked a Goth to go out with so I could borrow some to see if it worked,
  10. Hi JSE, The the damage was/still is on the travel area, I have lightly smoothed off the ragged edges so it is max diameter and then filled the sratches with Black nail varnish, It matches very well and I have no leaks. The varnish was
  11. I have recently had a quote from 'Bodycote' for retreating this type of fork tube,

    Small Question

    The magnet is only needed if you intend having a speedo, If you don't indend having one then no need to replace it.

    Slow Throttle?

    Asuming you have a 'Domino' make throtle There are two colours of the throttle tube, 'White is the Fast' 'Back is the slow' All the parts are interchangable you can just swap the tube.
  14. Hi Gordeee, Yes you're correct ml's are exactly the same as cc. I just about managed to get a 3rd oil change from a 1ltr bottle, so you mustn't spill any!
  15. I put in 340cc and then run it and let it settle, Check the level in the window it should be half way. Might need to add a spot more but shouldn't need more than 350cc in total
  16. I have scraped the black coating on my Alloy fork tube Has anyone had their's repaired or recoated and if so where and how much? Any help apreciated.

    Tyres

    Hi Pat Slinn, I have got a rear 4.00x18 Dunlop K950 tubed type, it looks like the owd trials universal and it's in top condition with sharp edges all over, If you'd like it you can have it I am just up the road from you in HazelGrove. Send me a PM for details.
  18. Pump it up hard to about 50psi for a few days or a week and then when you're next out ride it soft to get it warmed through and it should recover, At least try it and see, it's cheaper than a new tyre. Best keep the bike on a stand during long periods of storage. Or better still 'get out more'

    Hi

    See what everyone is riding, I would say 250 two stroke is the way to go.
  20. I could'nt get just seals on their own, They come as a full overhaul kit (4 pistons & 4 seals) price about
  21. Steve1979, You are a calm chap! There are parts catalogues to download on 'trialspartsusa' or have a look at 'haventrialsport' they list everything with prices. The arm is only available as a complete assembly but the other parts are available individually! Why? You can weld it till you get another then keep it as a spare. I have seen a few break off and its usually when the arm has turned out and the bike falls on that side and the rider went some where else.
  22. What model do you have and which part of it sheared? unfortunately you may get mad about it when find out how much the parts cost!

    2 Stroke Mix

    That's works out at 10:1

    Hello

    Your idea is what I've done, I bought a cheaper tidy bike to see if I liked trials and now I am hooked, so have just acquired a new bike but still need to sell the first one.
