I can confirm that the 4rt rear wheel fits the pre 2001 315r with the 325r spacers and the newer brake caliper (the inside-swingarm one), but not with the old one. just checked it today.

Well that is pretty cool. I Googled "chapman bsa trials" and the first hit is here: Looks like the original builder was a member here (mick_99) and replied, "...20 production bikes and there were 3 prototype made:..."

One of the 1st mono shock trials bikes, built by a chap called Mike Chapman. Based on a DT175, hence why you thought it was a DT

What you have there is a Chapman BSA.

Is your frame cracked?

Looking on ebay, the DT style shafts are readily available.

I have a 2001. I was able to get air filters and a rear caliper but that is all I have needed. The 01 cylinder is different in that the lower water connection is through the cases rather than through a hose like later Rev3s. I suspect the later cylinder could be made to work but don't know for sure. I would worry most about getting plastics like a rear fender or air box parts. Are there sources for them?

Hi, the dials are not used but you can adjust the power, speed and response using a computer connected to the Kelly controller.

Hi anyone here using a Beta Rev 3 on a regular basis? They seem to be really good value currently.. what is the spares availability like? thanks in advance Kevin

What is the finger height measurement? If it is too low there will not be enough leverage to disengage the clutch. this is from the 2015 users manual, finger height is 17.5mm +1mm -0mm, other years may have slightly different measurement specs.

Anyone any idea why my clutch is pushing against my casing when I am pulling it in just out new plate in now clutch won't work

Hi is anyone selling a short gear lever for a beta rev 250 thanks mark

It looks just yours is the model before mine ie original ty frame modified. Mines a mk1 godden frame my grandad ordered it new from john in 1980ish and is a 320 as well. I've just started to sort it out as it's sat in my dad's garage for about 20 years. I have swapped forks and wheels to mono 1s but the others were seized solid

Hi, Does anyone know where I can obtain an electronic copy for a 2024? Thanks!

Was it put back correctly. It only goes together one way. The finger tower has a notch in it and the pressure plate has an aligning mark.

mine failed internally, didnt fancy the £150+ for a new one so replced with manual version. basically a bernard mower fuel tap (M10 X 1 thread) https://sjtrials.com/products/beta-evo-rev-80-fuel-tap?variant=36215746625704&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&srsltid=AfmBOopCHYgFHOdrIJIDj9G5nNaVCq1ZammULxk_gtt_tgsWnTlV80zZeFw

That U shaped bracket came with the footpegs

I agree with lineaway, I have seen and fixed more than one buddies brakes because of contaminated pads over the years and most often its an oil based product, including but not limited to WD40, that got on the pads. Comments are always something like, but its just a little over spray (of what ever the product was), and no matter how much cleaning, heating, or other attempts I have tried to get it working again in the end only proper cleaning of the disk, new pads, and a good heat cycle and water quench has been the fix. My exp and 2 cents for what its worth.

Although this information is for North America https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_identification_number many European manufacturers use the 10th character in the same way. So M would be 1991 or 2021. Does that seem reasonable for the bike?

Can't figure out what year my TXT300 is. I've read many of these and it says the 10th digit which is M.... no idea what M is though. Any help is appreciated. I'd like to sell it. Thoughts on price? Runs great. VTRTG 3003 M120 6138

Yes, mine is a 250A. The kick stand mounts to the main frame and there is not a lot of space to move the peg. Thanks. Did you use weld on peg mounts or make your own?

Hi Feetupfun That's very observant ! I knew there was an issue as I couldn't fit the original speedo, and thought I had the front wheel in wrong way round, but the brake stay was in the wrong place 🤔 Now it makes sense that the forks are reversed. I did strip the forks down and fitted new chrome stanchions as they were quite pitted. I should have marked L & R ! Thanks for you reply

It's very nice to see an original Yam framed Majesty looking so beautiful. Something looked unusual and I've just worked out that it's that the fork legs and front wheel are fitted the opposite way to normal

This is an old photo of one of my TY250s. The lower cross tube on some models of the TY250 has a threaded hole, as this one has, which I think has a TY250B frame. People who have a TY250 without the threaded hole fit a threaded steel plug into the tube. Some are welded, some with an interference fit. The stand is not an issue on this bike. It is mounted to the right hand side of the swingarm and does not interfere with the footpeg. It sounds like your TY250 might be an A model with the stand mounted to the main frame under the left side footpeg. This is an old photo. It now has countersunk internal hex titanium screws instead of those external hex head screws.

yeah, obviously there is Frys Bottom. Thats about it. I've set up a petition, on change dot org regarding the planning application If you'd like to sign that. https://chng.it/cswzDC92xb
