That's a really great tip! I knew mine was original, so I figured if it wasn't leaking now it would be soon so I didn't bother testing it.

Had the same jet block leak on my Beta. I diagnosed it like this...

Thank you

It won’t reset. They only let you load a certain amount unless you become a paying member. The other way to load pictures, without the limit, is to use a photo sharing site that stores the photos there instead of on Trials Central. I use Flickr but there’s others. Somewhere on here is a description of how to do it but I always have a hard time finding it. You can also just include a link to the photos for wherever you have them stored. Good luck! I found the direction to uploading photos: https://www.trialscentral.com/forums/topic/43691-posting-photos/

Wondering if any regulars of this forum would be able to give me a little insight, as I was posting pictures before it said the file size limit was 3.5mb, now it is telling me its 2mb which is too small for the resolution of the photos I currently have, is this something that resets or if anyone has any input I would appreciate it😊

Thank you! I wish I knew more about the pictures but there was nothing written on them. I am actually not sure who the gentleman in the yellow Jacket is as my Uncle is the man in the 2nd picture leaning on the 1 bike smoking a cigarette with the M49 closer in frame

Looks like I've reached my attachment limit here on the forum so no more pictures unfortunately. Not completely satisfied with the idle on the bike, it's slightly erratic. Suspecting possible leaking jet block gasket - got one from Jetsrus.com so I'll hopefully get that installed tonight.

Rear sprocket guard also installed... any of the newer sprocket guards from the pro models will also fit these older bikes in my experience.

Front brake rotor guard from TheTryalsShop in New York is installed....

Thank you. I'm going to try them or the ARC levers.

A Full face MTB helmet is safer to your teeths and more ventilated. But, yes, too light for motorcycle helmet? They have MIPS technology and people in bike take serious jumps at much higher speeds than us.... The truth is: Trials helmet stopped on time and innovation is required by users for sure. Who will fill the gap???

Check if Trial solutions has them for Beta.

If the same as mine, where they go into the hub they are M6. Bear in mind though that they are special shouldered bolts

Welcome Shaun.

Hi, does anyone know where I can buy short clutch levers and brake levers for my 2023 Beta Evo 300 SS ? Greathings, Luc

Thank you Marky, i will look into those

The two major crank seals are built into the main bearings. The left side has an additional seal between the main bearing and the magneto. You'll be removing the engine and splitting the cases. This video from Jim Snell shows how...

I would recommend trying to source some OEM main bearings with in-built seals. Back in 2015, I had to rebuild my 2011 300 (due to cracked cases). I was advised to replace the mains with the new Xiu Engineering "low friction" bearings which were a good bit more expensive than OEM. Big mistake - within three months the bike was billowing smoke because the crank seals had failed. I had to rebuild the engine again but this time with new OEM bearings. I've not had a seal problem since. But to answer your question, the OEM bearings are fairly tight - hard to rotate with oily fingers while holding just the bearing. But the crank should rotate fine. The Xiu bearings felt much the same from memory. Yours sound way too tight. You run the risk of them spinning in the cases. It the left one moves at all, the oil holes won't line up. Unfortunately, sourcing OEM Gas Gas mains might prove difficult these days.

Hi, i've just recently bought a second hand Beta minitrial 20, electric Beta, for my daughter, to play around in the garden, and see if she likes it or not. Bought the bike second hand, so it has a little work to it. Chain and sprockets are worn out. Now, i do not seem to find a sprocket set for a reasonable price for this bike, also, it has a very narrow chain. I've seen a conversion on youtube were they use an Oset chain kit for this bike, but it seems like there a lot less teeth to the sprocket doing that conversion, so the bike will run a lot quicker, and loose a lot off torque. I've seen bigger Oset sprocket aswell, but how do i know wich one to order? I would like to keep te transmission ratio as much to stock as possible. Does anyone over here now what chain and sprocket kit can be adapted to this bike?

Love the looks of the M49, pretty bikes. What intrigues me is what appears to be numbers tucked into the back of their hats and the man in the yellow jacket also appears to be wearing Dunlop trials wellies. Brilliant atmospheric photos.......

Thank you for the warm welcome Ron! I hope you are able to find the Yamaha you're looking for, those sound like excellent memories!

I had a 1974 Yamaha TY 250 when I was a kid and loved it. I’ve been looking for one to restore myself but without much luck. They get snagged before I can get to them. It’s the sound of the engine that I remember most and when I see a video on YouTube with someone riding one around I get all choked up hearing that very unique, quite quiet, popping rhythm. I wish you the best of luck getting your uncle’s Bultaco back into shape. I’ll keep watching for your updates.

The 1st anniversary of his passing came around and I put in my first order of parts with Hugh's Bultaco. The first order was mainly just basics I could tell from an outside look including a full gasket kit with crank seals, carb kit for the Amal 627, air filter, a spark plug boot, and some rubber bits that were all dried out) which arrived quick! I then started tearing down the bike, starting with the air filter I just received an error that I am over my picture amount so I will have to add more another time!
