Update for you all went to get the bike tonight it was hanging rear shock blown forks blown engine rattle at low revs p***ing out water from head engine badly painted blue rivvets holding rear mud on loads of play in rear sus told the guy it was not as listed and walked away he was ok about it i told him to relist it in bikes section and list the problems going to stick with my beta now ive sorted it all out

i get about 4-5 hours from a tank 3.5l but thats slow moving stuff i would like to try ride with speedo and see how far i could do on a tank

Andover is close to you manly off road to get there free to use and legal ! we go there most weekends that theres not a comp on

nadder look out for me me and my mate will be in a silver vauxhall vectra i have a blue helmet with red stars on it and ride a red beta and my mate has a pink/red gas gas come say hello

Thanks for all your comments some more usefull than others I got my curreny beta for 600 and it was a mess ive done all the rear end bearings ' fork seals ' piston rings and oil etc on it and it feels alot better and it runs better and starts better than my mates much newer gassers but my mate just got a 2000 txt for

It would be nice to put names to faces ?

just won a txt 280 mega cheap on e bay because it ended at 4.30 and was listed in parts any bits to look out for when i go look at it ? its a 2000 txt 280 in blue I already have a 1999 beta techno and its been used alot and feels like it so hoping this one will be less used and feel tight http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWNX:IT

using a trials bike frame and parts would be easyest because you just need to fit a motor and some dry cell batterys to keep weight down and fit the low down on the bash plate if a bike without engine comes up on ebay that would be best way to buy

Hello give me a text 07871044378 we ride andover almost every weekend if there is no trial on join http://www.walthamchasetrials.co.uk/ there is a trial on in southampton this sat if wanna come watch and have a go

oh yer the bike is a 99 techno im running 42-11 gearing bike had a 12 on when i got it ? should i be using first gear more for the slow stuff? did a whole comp in second last time before i changed the front cog

Would retarding my timing make my bike more controlable at low speed ? im finding it a bit lairy when my rist gets tired

Does anyone know where i can find a parts price list ?

Hello give me a pm i will send you my number i ride andover most weekends if you wanna come if its not to far for you ?

when i did some years ago i did 10 of a small 10 of a mid and 10 of the max i could do then 10 of the mid and 10 of the light as time went on i was starting with what i could do max before its the best way to not strain or rip anything

i think i know what you mean i think with a trials bike you acn move it around under you and because its rigid you can almost feel the edge of a ledge or rock but a moto is hevy and dead feeling because of the sus and tyre i think it just comes with trying maybe just keep trying all diffferent techs on the same items see what works best

i know this sounds gay but can you touch your toes a lot of lower back problems are caused buy hanstrings being to tight of you do 2 before riding and 2 after riding do a 30 second stretch trying to get your parms to touch the floor without bending your knees do it for a few day i bet it helps

i called them today still shut but if you call and leave a number they will call you back and tell you whats going on

i tryed to ride up stuff to slow and fell of loads best to do it to fast and slow it down each time till its a struggle

dont eat yellow snow

put your pushbike rear brake on the left like us uk people do then you wont have a problem ive done the same as you but i grab the clutch thinking its the rear brake but it brings front down anyway

try rolling your bars foward and not covering your brake and clutch it allows your wrists to more any where they want watch the pros they only use/cover when they stop

What im wondering is is the a point to getting a newer bike ir should i just trash and get good on my 99 till i NEED a new bike rather than just wanting a newer bike? any comments welcome

Looks good would look better with silver fork stantions

ok what i would like to know is should fork and shock be setup with slow rebound or fast to aid hoping ? or is it a case of trying both ?
