    I am prety sure that it is the same for all pro models (27x1mm Right hand male thread) and you can get them for about
  2. Do not use any synthetic engine oil, it can swell the fiber clutch plates! All your info can be read in the 'Tech' section on the trialspartsusa website For gearbox oil use Castrol TQ-D (it is actualy ATF DEXTRON III) and for fueloil I use 'TTS' at about 70:1
  3. I was just viewing to see if there were any replies yet.

    I have an 'S3' weight, it's fitted with 2 countersunk screws and the cover spacer is only 6mm, the lever will just about go fully on the shaft with no clearance so I pull it back 1mm.
  5. I have fitted an 'S3' flywheel weight. If you have one of these I can send you a PDF file with step by step instructions and lots of colour photos for each step. Please PM me if you would like a copy.
  6. Welcome to TC I would recomend the Manchester 17 'Dead Easy' trials.

    I do 70cc to 5Ltrs (about 70:1) Castrol TQ-D is the stuff (ATF Dextron III)

    Checkout this web page! There is a 3part video just on the 'Pro Clutch' http://www.trialspartsusa.com/tech.html Do you have a friend with mechanical experience who can help you?
  9. You can check the requirements in the manual online. 'motuk' also check the 'special notices' section. This is cut/paste from DVLA; Motorcycle number plates should have a character height - 64 millimetres character width - 44 millimetres (except the figure 1 or letter I) character stroke - 10 millimetres space between characters - 10 millimetres space between groups - 30 millimetres top, bottom and side margins - 11 millimetres (minimum) vertical space between groups - 13 millimetres I would reregister with a pre 2001 personal plate with less digits (3 on top line 2 on the bottom line) The minimum plate size could be 174 x 163mm (7"x6.5")
  10. Instructions for 'Blue Hylomar' is to apply an even film to both surfaces to be sealed, then allow solvent to dry before assembley. Note! you should only apply it to the top face of the Cylinder and the underside of the spacer, The O'rings will seal against the top side of the spacer!
  11. Do NOT use synthetic oil GasGas recomomend ATF Dextron III. I use Castrol TQD (same stuff)

    Hi RicTS, Welcome to TC, RT
  13. I struggle with just red & blue; Red on right Blue on left. After some years working on aircraft and being told to remember the saying 'Port is Red and on the Left' So for me it's right to be wrong and port is not red. HELP!
  14. richt replied to sawtooth's topic in Beta
    There was someone selling a kit comprising 4 spacers and 4 longer bolts. The easiest way to do it make some spacers or stack washers till they are about 8 to10mm thick and some longer bolts, should cost less than a Quid!
  15. richt replied to lian's topic in General Trials Talk
    The Front looks like new (very sharp edged) ave it! The rear is not good! The Manufacture Name is your choice, Mich, IRC, Metz, Barum. and so on.
  16. It's unique! Should'nt talk bad about it when one poor insuspecting idiot has bid (when I looked it was upto

    [quote RichT...any more news on where you got those full bearing kits for 55 quid??..would love to know. I've just put mine back together with the old bearings and lots of grease so I can ride this weekend. Will try to sort it asap tho! 'Stu' The kit I used was from 'AlllBalls' racing. ask your dealer to get you one. Please note as I said earlier it's for the linkage only. There was an extra bearing in mine I dont know if it is intentional or it may be a buy six get one free offer! or they expect you to wreck one putting them in! fitting them Insert them with the numbers facing outward. the other end is softer where they have closed up the bearing in manufacture. if you knock that end you will easily damage it.
  18. richt replied to stuessenhigh's topic in Gas Gas
    You can get a full kit with all 6 Bearings, 6 bushes, 8 seals and 4 shim washers required (for the linkage), cost about
  19. richt replied to orange250's topic in Gas Gas
    Yes they must be twice the price of any other make! Has anyone discovered if there is one from another brand that fits?
  20. richt replied to coxy's topic in Gas Gas
    If you have removed a bearing no point putting it back so now's the best time to replace it. Ask your dealer to get you a kit from AllBalls racing they do them for just about every bike bearings, bushes and seals all included, I have found them to be well priced and they have done the searching for you
  21. You have a problem with the fan, if it's not running often or long enough then the water is going to boil, the pressure will build up and can go two ways. Through the vent hose or if the hose is kinked or blocked (check this) then water pump seal is the next weakest point.
  22. Thanks for this tip, I restuck some of my decals with an old tube of 'grip glue' found in garage, and yes they are well stuck!. It seems to be like Evo-Stick which is petrol based so if I continue to splash fuel all over the tank decals as usual they may come away again. but still plenty left to stick em again
  23. I replaced mine with an AllBalls kit. The ends of the two bushes that go in the bearings in the swing arm should meet in the middle, the larger diameter on mine were too big to fit in the holes on each side of the swing arm against the seals and I needed to grind them down half a mm. Before I did it was like you described and they were tight enough to stop the shock from rebounding.
  24. The big change was in 2002. when the Pro models were launched. I've got an 06 and have noticed there are some changes; The handlebars are 'Fat bars' they are more rigid and dont need a brace. The fork stantions are Alluminium saving about 1kg The clutch on earlier models used brake fluid and tended to leak from the slave cyl into the engine oil, so they they tried different seals but now they changed to use Mineral hydraulic oil. The water pumps could also leak into the engine oil so they have been upgraded (made with better materials) You could carry out these mods on an earlier year bike but the costs would eat what you originally saved, for example a complete water pump is

    They have! A few months back I emailed an old address I still had from when I bought a 'Kliponoff Lite'. The reply I got back was from the new owners 'Pendle Engineering' they said they had bought the brand (about a year ago) and their intention was to develope the range. They only aquired some old stock of racks and a couple of 'lite' trailers in the takeover. You would have expected them to have done something by now.
