"Since 1991, the Largest Warehouse of Trials Parts and Accessories in the USA."
Since those humble beginnings in the spring of 1991, we are still here at the same location, under the same ownership with the same telephone number. Statistically, we have been in continuous business longer than any USA European moto distributor, street or dirt, in past or present U.S. history
I bought my 2000 TXT280 in 2007 and it had been abused. I just now bought a new set of tires for it and to my horror I found a tube in the rear and a bunch of black RTV and clear silicone slathered under the rim band, in an obvious attempt by a PO to seal the rim before they gave up and used a tube. I cleaned it up as best I could and found some corrosion on the rim, a new rim band did not seal. I ended up taking tire slime and slathering it under the new rim band and that seemed to do the trick.
Just did the this seal change on my 2012 txt 280 pro after draining emulsified oil out of engine. This video was excellent viewing beforehand. Did it with pump still attached to coolant pipes - bit of a fiddle but avoids breaking the original factory pipe clips.
I actually have a short video that shows how easy it is to release and reuse those hose clamps - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6sAerXIhHMk.html
just an question, if i untherstand it right does AC comes in the thermostat, and then rectified, and not DC in and directly to the fan ? so do the lights need an extra rectifier ?
Jim you are the king. Thank you for the outstanding video's.It seems like every time I get stumped you have the trick I need to know. It has kept both my 94 jt250 and my 14 txt280 rr always up and running. Next bike is a trs1 due to you supporting them and making videos for them now. You are a true professional, the trials community worldwide is lucky to have you making such great videos.
Great video Jim! 📽💪🏼. Thank you for sharing your knowledge on Dellorto carburetors . Also amazing sound effects you can really imagine the engine doing that sound. Great to know about the 3 1/2 turns in the fuel screw. What can you tell us about the position of the clip in the needle of the slide? Is there a clip position you recommend? Thanks !
Thanks for this video - super helpful. tbh if i hadn't chanced across this video I probably would have been stuck and wouldn't have thought of doing this. As it turns out, even with the washer (or in my case large nut) welded to the bearing, and even with a big slide hammer it wasn't coming out, but then I realised that having welded the nut across meant i could just flip the wheel over and knock the bearing out from behind with a drift (hitting against the welded nut/washer).. which worked right away! So I guess if you don't have a slide hammer handy or your bearing is super stuck like mine was that could be an alternate approach, (building on Jim's initial idea). Hope it helps someone... Thanks again for all the videos Jim :)
Wow! In trials it’s the little details that can make a difference. Controls are so critical. Jim shows so clearly the absolute best way to wire a grip. Awesome!
Excellent and informative video. Very well presented. I recently bought a vintage Montesa that has had an ongoing and stubborn idle issue. Your video helped me understand the circuits and I realized it was missing an O ring. I also did not know that the mixture screw controls fuel vs. air. I also discovered that the float level had been set incorrectly, by placing the carb upside down while measuring the dimension, when it should be placed on its end. This makes a big difference as when its upside down the weight of the floats compresses the spring on the fuel inlet valve and puts the fuel level about 3/16" lower than it should be. Now running perfectly. Thank you for making the effort to record this helpful video.
In the Pampera engine, 3rd and 4th gear are slightly different ratios. This makes the six-speed Pampera gear ratios more evenly spaced. The Trials engine has the first four gears very close together and 5th and 6th are stepped higher for higher-speed trails. Other than this, the Pampera engine is exactly the same as the trials engine.
Hi great videos always watch your channel before starting work on mine, just a quick question, what would cause galloping type revs as the bike returns to idle from revving fully in neutral. The bikes a 1996 jtr, it does not do it all the time eather, it will sometimes idle normally but then sound like the timeing has changed as if its changed settings automatically its weard the bike pulls fine..
seems you have an air leak. (the symptoms are typical of a lean condition) and it is odd that it is not consistent. Could be left side crank seal. could be intake manifold in front of carburetor, could be jetting issue or even a partially obstructed pilot jet.
Great videos. I’m really new to trials and new to gasgas , I just brought a 2002 gasgas 125!and running poo , so hopefully with a carb rebuild and sort the clutch drag out we will be some where near .... thanks Jim
