  1. I talked to one of the workers at the endurocross and they mentioned that the company has changed hands several times in the last couple of years. This year they only did 3 events because of all of the changes. Supposedly the new owners are planning to double the number of events for next year and they want have more racers and classes. Hopefully they bring back the trials races next year.
  2. I've never ridden in the Boise area (though I wouldn't mind heading over for a competition or event). I live in Idaho Falls and usually only go to Boise for the Endurocross.
  3. Endurocross in Nampa is coming up next week and I'm interested in riding in the trials round during the event. The problem is that I can't find any registration info on a trials specific race. Any information or a local contact would be helpful. Thanks!
  4. I've been using various Betas on trails for years. This is because there aren't many people in my area to ride trials with. I've done lots of trails with no seat (before Beta offered a seat) and gas bottles in my pack. Just this year I bought an Evo with a seat for the extra fuel capacity. Most of the time a trials bike makes everything much easier. The only times I've been at a disadvantage with a trials bike is on big loose hill climbs and sand. However, the knowledge that I don't have to wrestle a 300 lb monster when I don't make a hill climb is priceless. For trail rides I would buy an Evo 250 with a seat, trials tire, and higher gearing.
  5. My new to me Evo jumped out of gear twice last night, pretty frustrating. I'll be following along.

    Evo Map Switch

    Thanks for the feedback. I will check the wiring and make sure the most aggressive tune is selected and leave the switch off the bike.

    Evo Map Switch

    One of the previous owners of my 2013 Evo 300 removed the Map switch. I have not yet inspected the wiring to determine exactly what was done. The bike runs fine. Does the switch itself do anything more than open and close a circuit? Is there any reason to remove the Map switch?
  8. I did the clutch fix on my Techno and ran 5w30 or 10w30 oil. The clutch worked perfectly for the 14 years I had the bike.

    Beta evo clutch

    Do you have any information on the lighter springs? Is there any particular oil that might help? Maybe a different weight? I just picked up a 2013 Evo and the clutch sticks when cold. The clutch in the Techno I just sold worked perfectly after the fix.
  10. The rear brake on my Techno works great. The pedal is adjusted just right, it doesn't have much travel, and lock's up the wheel easily. I would just look for a new pedal. Or see if you can get that one repaired.
  11. I've had my current pair of Gaerne Boots for the last ten years and they have held up great. As others have said, the boots are comfortable enough to walk in and feel great on the bike.
