Something a little different..my new wheels - Page 2 - SV650.org

Thanks, as a complete novice to the trials world (done motocross, trail riding and road riding) I know virtually nothing. I did know that the rear tyre should be virtualy flat as to form around the surface that it is on.

The bike is a 2.9. I was wonderin how to pick the back end up. I was thinking tha the exhaust may not be a good idea (gets hot!!!) but did not think about it snapping! Nice one

Should be out playing on it next weekend!

It always seems a great dilemma between riders what is right and wrong but in general as low as you can go without puncturing is my advise.

Many factors come into play such as weather conditions, weight of rider, weight of machine, construction and type of tyre and terrain and "going".

Front tyre pressures also effect paw print and general feel of the steering in a big way. Rear tyre pressures effect mainly grip but also gearing.

Try experimenting, you may be surprised with the results. Try the same section several times making adjustments and you may suddenly turn into "Dougie" MK.2.

Always use a pressure guage that you know to be correct, test it against a few of your mates items ,they don't always read the same.

The reason for all this tosh that I've written, is repeatability and being consistent, we can all fluke a "clean" once, but how many of us are truly consistent in trials, this item will help you make a start.

FRONT 3.5-7LBS. REAR1-7LBS.

P.S. I could write another two pages on this subject alone but this article is only to get you thinking "DON'T BE A SHEEP" do some testing.

World level riders adjust pressures from section to section I'm not suggesting you go to this extreme but you will find it needed sometimes during an event i.e. the last Buzzards trial .Winning is a combination of machine riding skills fitness dedication and No 1 using your grey matter.
