Try central wheels

Heated gloves might consume less power. 13W each 26 total and you can get a controller to adjust heat better. example: gloves https://www.gerbing.com/collections/12v-heated-gloves/products/gerbing-12v-heated-glove-liners?variant=45244436054307 controller https://www.gerbing.com/collections/heated-motorcycle-plugs-and-temperature-controllers/products/gerbing-12v-single-zone-temperature-controller-knobbed?variant=44879387394339

Roughly the same power as your horn. 🤓 Don't use the horn at the same time as your heated grips and there should be no issue.

Has anyone fitted heated grips to a 4ride (or a 4RT assuming they are the same) ? Splat shop do some sticky back heated elements that you then slip normal grips over the top, it says they consume 36W, will my 4 ride have enough power to drive them? And where am i best tapping into the wiring loom to take the feed?

Inch Perfect have a pre-order email out today. There are 125 250 and 300cc versions. Price is TBA. https://beta-uk.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=21684

Thanks for posting that alternative. About time. Electric and RHS starters will make me consider Beta again. I've had two and consider the starting dumb. Actually- why was the lever 3" too short? Actually my Beta dirtbike (ok so 3 Betas) has Electric. A couple of kilos means Im not puffing every section before I start riding my TRS which is an advantage over my Betas and GGs. For the Club rider this is a real advantage. Good on Beta.

Throttle pulley size is a personal preference thing, like bar position, lever position etc. I use the slow twistgrip on my 250 MAR and throttle control is exactly how I like it.

To me, the best thing about the solid separator/electrolyte is that it brings a significant safety improvement. It's much less prone to thermal runaway, and therefore reduces the risk of fire.

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this - logically to me it belongs in EM. The only fault I can find with the latest EM bikes is that they are a bit heavier than the ICE alternative. With solid state batteries soon to be a feature of the light car market I wonder if this will be the next development for electric trials bikes? The downside is going to be cost andalready the EM is more expensive than a Montesa or similar, but to be fair not by much. Anyway some news on this front in my feed propted me to look at this road bike development: https://www.ducati.com/ww/en/news/ducati-s-electric-research-continues-with-the-v21l-prototype-and-solid-state-batteries I guess this one will not be cheap 🤣

Many thanks 👍

I saw some made from stainless steel last weekend. A friend had a few custom buckles for trials helmets made locally. While it sounds like a good idea, non-OEM helmet parts or modifications will render a helmet non-compliant in a legal sense.

Need a new throttle assembly, anyone experiment with the Domino fast vs. slow on an OSSA MAR 250?

Just an update, all working and starting fine after new coil pack and condenser 👍🏻 thanks all

Airoh helmets STILL have buckles that rust through. I have been investigating stainless steel buckles for 20mm webbing straps, but can only find them for 25mm webbing straps. Anyone found a source of stainless steel buckles for 20mm straps?

In the US you have Hogans, Alex Snoop, Keith Lynas, Vintco

Go to www.todotrial.com and change the language at the top right of the page all the info there.

Some questions come to mind: - Will they offer the same engine capacities? - How easy is it to access the carb? - Where is the e-start battery located? - Does the starter have an over running clutch or solenoid? - How much weight does e-start add? - Did they change the kickstand mount?

Well, at least they put the kickstarter on the "normal" side. Wonder if that is going to annoy long-time Beta purists? But the cylinder reeds are a compromise so they could put the e-start motor where it is.

Yes, points open/points closed, it wouldn't work if it didn't. I have to make a few assumptions.... Are you sure you know how a magneto works ? Where are you showing this continuity ? And are you using an ohmeter ?

A completley new motor with induction through the barrel and a carb in a BETA EVO like chassis redesigned to look like a BETA EVO. I thought someone should do this as it is Trials Central.

Phil, it’s very easy to replace a head gasket/o-rings. I did it for the first time and it only took about 15 minutes and I’m no mechanic. Simply unbolt the head, lift it off, clean the surfaces, place new gasket/o-rings on then bolt it back together, tightening the bolts in a criss cross pattern, little by little, until the torque requirement so you don’t bend/warp the head. I believe your bike is air cooled so you don’t need to worry about draining the coolant. I had a friend in high school years ago, who had no experience mechanically, and he replaced his head gaskets on a TY 250 with no internet or YouTube to help. It’s very straightforward. You can do it yourself for sure. Good luck!

Thanks, Woody. I'm in the US, so I'll have to see if In Motion can ship to me. I will search for a US source as well. We have a rather "fluid" tariff situation and now the "de minimus" exemption has been rescinded which means small shipments (like a sprocket and a nut) go through the same process as a cargo container of goods. If worse comes to worse, I can machine a special nut as I'm fortunate to have a nice machine shop. Finding a sprocket will still be a challenge as I have not had experience with machining internal splines... may have to learn. Again appreciate your knowledge and generosity to share it.

The retaining nut is almost as big as a 10 tooth sprocket which means the chain rides up over the points of the nut when it is flush against the sprocket. To use a 10 tooth there is a nut with a shoulder on the inside to give clearance to the chain, you need to use this nut Depends where you live, in the UK, In Motion have all you need I run a dished rear sprocket on my MAR which only comes in 44 tooth size, this works well with the 10 tooth front
