Ben H! Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Nice one Heath, the Evo 290 looks awesome, just got mine not so long ago, they are such an amazing bike, what do you think of it with the flywheel weight removed?The Meta looks very nice also!

austen Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Stunning! Love that. A mate has the 125 version and it rides soo nice. Just got my first mototrials as it happens, gas gas 280 (: loving it so far! Out of interest, what happens when you take the flywheel weight out?

r2wtrials Posted December 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 revs quicker.. and no over run at the top of something. When you shut the throttle at the top it stops, rather than still runs on a little way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austen Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Oh right cheers for that. Might try it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanczik Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 what rear tire you got on the meta?!?!do you really ride with itdont you get snakebits every ride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r2wtrials Posted December 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Larson on the rear... no snakebites yet but i am a shit rider, and very old!! Now i have the Beta I will be using the Meta for just messing about when time, weather and daylight allow just to try and keep fit for the moto stuff. Not into TGS street stuff, prefer section type riding and i am not good enough or brave enough to do all the big drop-offs. I enjoy just playing on the jumbles of rock on the sea front here or up the road in cheddar gorge and this time of the year it proves a bit difficult!!

trialsmax04 Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 (edited) although when the evo's came out the engine mounts cracked and the swinging arms do aswellThe gasgas PRO range has been out since 2003. 6 years to solve there problems, and they are still crap. When the evo's came out they only had teathing problems. As does every new model.Plus the only cracking problems i have heard of happen to the higher level riders, for most people there fine.
