Modern bikes have no carburettors & their air filter is well out the way of dirt 😉

Sorry, I ride a Sherco

there are diffrent kinds of trials for diffrent people. the LDTs i go to a furhter away (more travel time) and long laps (100 miles) and are fun. but local events around a wood, 30 to 70 riders, 8-13 sections are fun too, but for a co-hort of riders the abilty to be home for mid sunday afternooon makes it an accessable kinf of motorsport for them. there are still national trials, often single laps, offering this halycon vision of trials, and long may it continue!

Well, I cleaned the air filter when I bought my Sherco, because the previous owner had overdone the oil a bit.  It still seems to be ok, so I'm going to try and get a nice round number like 1 year from it before I clean it again

Modern bikes would need you to stop and clean the carb, swap a new air filter, and have two oil changes by mid-afternoon if you had events that long. 

You've never been to the scott have you?

vertigo and 4RT are injection the other makes are carbs and in the majority.

An air filter does a few things but unlikely to do the main job it was designed for in cumbria.

I didn’t even manage to watch it on Jitsie this weekend. Still need to catch up on the footage.
