Professional tuner and 'Trials Competition' writer Jon Stoodley has very kindly stepped up to the plate to answer your questions. If you're having problems, or need some advice just send an email to Jon. If it's something that could be useful to others, we'll post it on the site.

Jim Snell of TrialsPartsUSA (Rising Sun Imports) has provided a wealth of information for this site. Many Trials bike owners find it difficult to find 'definitive' information on what's good and bad for their machines. Jim has given us the official Gas Gas recomendations. |
