My Model 92 Sherpa T (1972 350cc) has a new set of Betor trials shocks installed. I am not familiar with the shocks and I do not know what the valves on the...
Hey Guys, I participated in the Moto Giro this weekend in Upstate New York. It was my first time doing the Giro and can definitely recommend this event. Even...
Kevin, Here is a picture of my Model 92 showing the chain guard. If you want a specific picture tell me how you want it taken. I rode a Trial yesterday so...
Dave, So have you guys in the frozen North country had you first Trial yet? We had our 4th yesterday - real killer sections for us Novice folks. I didn't know...
I've never owned a Bultaco but I stumbled upon this one last weekend. Its a 106 engine and a 152 frame. Full on vintage race bike as far as I can tell. I had...
Yep, on Saturday. Took the old reliable M49. Fired it up the night before, hasn't run since last Fall, still had the dirt on it from then too... second kick....
First off Kevin, welcome to TeamBultaco! You're kickstarter is in the wrong position. Look at the picture Alan just posted. Somewhere around that or so is...
Thanks for the welcome. I'll pull the kickstart and rotate it forward a bit. That might help. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it just yet. Time and...
Kevin, There is a post further up this page on starting Big Bultaco's. Say what you will but I'm a big fan of compression releases. I trigger mine just for a...
From what I've been told compression releases were popular in flat tracking especially for the bikes with no(!) brakes. Not for starting, for slowing down! One...
Adult diapers are recommended. For the rider. :-) But Bultacos are pretty basic. They, like all makes, have their quirks. Depending on how modified the bike...
Say before I go and crash this bike into a tree due to the lack of good braking, about how much is thing thing worth anyway? I seriously doubt I will be...
Kevin, Well look at what has sold on Ebay (not the asking price). If it is running and AHRMA legal I'd say you are looking at a minimum of $2,000 and a max of...
I can't tell you where the stash is just yet! Heck I don't even know, but I am trying to find out. I wouldn't mind a keeper Bultaco or two but I just don't...
I'd say those are some generous prices. First you are looking at a not-Astro flattracker. And to top it off, not even matching numbers. Perhaps with the right...
What a cool find. If you live anywhere near Costa Mesa Calif, you can race flat track/short track. Rick http://www.costamesaspeedway.net/flattrack.asp ...
Only 2050 miles. That's an easy weekend trip! I did get it started tonite using the kicker. First I got a pretty good backfire and then a few kicks later it...
Did any TeamBultaco members attend/race in the CALVMX/AHRMA Barona Creek event yesterday? Evidently there was a horrendous crash. An expert level racer was...
Peg, I've never heard the term Moto Giro, what was the event you participated in? Cool Metralla. Rick ... It was my first time doing ... weather was not the...
Alan: Thanks for the picture and the note. At the rear of the swing arm just ahead of the lower shock mount there is a hole for a bolt that fastens the steel...
Kevin, You can do it with calipers - just stick the pointed end down into the piston hole with the piston at top dead center and then measure down as is...
I'm assuming I'll need a flywheel puller. Im also willing to bet that the ones I have wont work. Chain guard? Kevin ... -- A bend in the road is not the end of...
Flywheel pullers are cheap ($15). This is the one thing you REALLY should get. Dial indicators are $15 from HF. A stand is another $15. Needless to say these...
you may need a fly wheel holder, but don't make the same mistake i did, a lot of the ones for sale are for modern dirt bikes that must have very small fly ...
Rick, The Moto Giro was a blast. Actually, it is an event that is recreated here from the original Moto Giro in Italy. In the US there is an East and a West....
hey peg, there are two east coast giros, one in the spring and the other in the fall, and you can go to 305 cc Max pre 1968, the two east coast giros are run...
Yeah, the one in the fall is in Vermont. Sorry, yes they do go to 305 cc. Actually aside from the 250 cc class, the most popular is the 50 cc class. I was...
