benbeta23 Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 (edited) no but gasgasben reckons the warranty is second to none so dont worry about it Is there really any need for that?, why have you targeted that at me, I've read a few recent posts on here about Lampkins Service & they don't all come from me, I only wanted to point out Lampkins service was excellent, I mentioned it in one topic, Duggan Whatever your problem with the bike is mate, I'm sure they will help you out, Hope you get it sorted. Looks like your the first to discover a new problem with the 2011's. Edited October 15, 2010 by GasGasben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liviob Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 The o-rings that seal the two exhaust pipe sections together are probobly leaking. Unbolt the rear pipe section and slowly remove it to see if the o-rings are still set properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalley250 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 I like the look of the 2011 and maybe getting a new bike shortly if things pan out for me. I had numerous Rev3`s and always had an issue with the air filters on them. They did filter the complete airbox unlike GasGas which works alot better as it resides in the airbox and only filters the carb inlet. I use to get crap get into the carb on me Rev`s even though i did keep on top of cleaning them to which i do less on the GasGas and never suffer. Also do they still pi55 fuel out unless you mod them ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have mentioned your posts but equally could have mentioned some others. the point of the post is this. the topic is about a 2011 bike and the exhaust appears to be rubbing on the shock. How well was this design tested before being released to the public at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldilocks Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Nice to see that the argument from another topic has now been dragged over here? Really what is the point! fair enough its your topic I just think the two threads are related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duggan Posted October 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Had the exhaust off to see if it could be moved, it still touched but only just. Finally went to my local dealer and we gave the silencer a few tweaks and now it clears. The problem is the gap between the frame the silencer and the shock is only a few millimetres either side so it's easy to have a bike which rubs. Thinking back my 2009 Evo silencer used to make contact also after fitting a stiffer shock spring. Rode the bike today for a good few hours and it feels great all the small changes for 2011 have made an already great bike even greater!

liviob Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Thats interesting that your muffler rubs on the shock spring. I have an 09 290 and there is alot of clearance for all. Ill have to look closely next time i clean the air filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duggan Posted October 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Yeah have a skeet and let me know, I've had three evos now and they've all been very close specially on the first 09 bike when I fitted and stiffer spring. The 2011 bike comes with a heavier gauge spring as standard so must just take up a few extra millimetres of space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan williams Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 (edited) Heh heh it always seems to be a GasGas rider whining about how Beta fails on quality. There's a name for that particular psychological dynamic..... Oh I remember, "projection" Shouldn't you be off rebuilding your gearbox or something?
