Thanks with the caliper and forks looks like this one is a 2013 then. Price is ok and it looks clean so will go have a look as long as the 2013s don't have any big issues?
-
What are the changes?
-
No its in France. It had black fork stanchions and calipers. Frame and colour scheme look the same.

I'm thinking of buying a 300 factory its listed as a 2014 but after a bit of reading am sure its a 2013 by the forks and calipers. Can you tell by the frame numbers? Anything I need to check apart from the usual things to look for on a trials bike? Will the 2013 bike have the easy start kit fitted? Is the data cable, software and maps readily available at a reasonable price? I currently have a 2004 Beta rev3 and have only been riding for fun just over a year. If I find the 300 a bit much can it be easily tamed with a slow throttle and flywheel weight? Thanks in advance.

Andy Metcalfe Motorcycles 01642 475600 (in the north east) has a guy that rebuilds them I had the bladder replaced on mine.

Keep your eyes open on eBay I managed to get a pair of new guards for an 04 Rev3 for £30 delivered. Sometimes people list things badly and you can get a bargain.
-
I think it was around £90 for a rebuild if no other parts needed and it was £181 delivered to France so probably about £165 with the new bladder. Mine is an 04 the red shock. You could hear the oil moving around when you shake it couldn't hear anything when I got it back. Give Andy a ring he is a nice guy
-
I have just had mine rebuilt including a new bladder through Andy Metcalfe Motorcycles 01642 475600 even posted it back to me in France. Unbelievable difference.

My 04 bike is the opposite away from cylinder off. Up is on and towards cylinder reserve. Reset the tangs as described above and it will stop.
-
My 04 knocked fairly bad especially on over run. I thought it was the piston or little end. I noticed my head gasket was in the wrong position (tab not to the front) I corrected that and decoked the top of the piston and head its quiet now and has more power.

I have just had mine in bits to replace an idler gear and I put it in 6th gear put foot on the rear brake and it came off and tightened no problem
-
Thanks Col once I try it you know I will want one but 2 or 4 stroke My R6 is nice I just don't use it might as well get something I will use.
-
Very nice how you getting on with it? Bug catches on thinking of selling my road bike (R6) as I don't use it and might look for an Evo. What are the differences on the factory versions?
-
I pulled the clutch out today as I had the case off as the starter return spring has snapped and found the basket has slight grooves in it. I will smooth them out but that will be the cause of mine. (don't know why I didn't see them before)

Dry it off then with some kitchen roll only needs a very light covering but make sure its covered all over. Do a search on the net loads of how to vids
