2000 beta rev3 270 v. 2000 montesa 315r non trials rider thinking about getting a t bike for cross training and playing. Have pics of both beta looks show room mint, literally looks right off the floor. $2000 3 hours away = 6 hour round trip to check out 315r has been ridden but looks very good and has many new parts. same owner for the last 5 yrs used as playbike. asking $1900 1 hour away = 2hour round trip to check out. I'm looking for something that is easy to take care of as my enduro bike is my main ride and i don't want a bike I gotta wrench on all the time. ride/play around on it and roll it into the shed till next time. from what i've read the tesa/honda …

Hi just got a 2016 beta evo 250 to start on looking for workshop manual. There’s no problem finding an engine manual but not one for the maintenance as I am looking for fork oil levels and what 5w oil ie castrol oil or rock oil or something else cheers

Knew i wouldnt make it but had to try.... Fell over and smashed my right pinkie between rock and handlebar. SNAP Pins to be put in on during op on friday How do i get riding again and not break the damn thing twice? Anyone done the same - is there any protective gear you can put on to get riding again? What about those motorcross hand protectors - would they help? LOL Jza Only ridden my bike 4 times and am out for min of 4 weeks!!!!! DOH!

OK I am too lazy to do the search TC thing. I am trying to put a used Michilin trials tire onto the rear rim of my 1986 TLR 200 Reflex. This is my problem: the bead of the tire will not seat. It is a tubeless tire, the rim is for a tubed tire, and I have a brand new tube in said tire. Is the rim designed in such a way that is preventing the tubelss tire to seat on the rim? Or do I need more than 95 PSI to make it go "pop"

I'm trying to contact Nick Morgan who rode British Championship enduros from about 1985 through to 1994 and was the first British rider to finish the Dakar Rally. I need his personal phone number to speak to him about an article I'm writing. The phone number I have for him is unobtainable. PM me through Trials Central. Thanks, Mike Rapley

Well, as the title really, I've been wondering about workshop necessities... What do I need? Fed up of borrowing the old mans tools... what do I need in the way of tools, oils, lubricants, nuts, bolts, washers and anything else? I know the important stuff but I'm interested to what you all reccomend? Please give a quality make/brand but good value, dont want them breaking or not doing there job properly, so yeah, shoot away people... Cheers in advance, Jamie

Have just dug out an old video taken by my dad in 1979. Sorry about the quality but the cameras in those days where not the best and I would imagine the tape has deteriorated over the past 30 years . Anyway I can recognise a fair few riders but there are a few I can not name . 3 vids in total the first one is 2nd video 3rd video

Hi seen these jitsie throttle bearings and tube on the internet but cant find them anywhere else, the problem is the company is based in Australia so was unsure the link shows the page, if anyone had any experience in using either the bearing or the tube please let me know, i remember trials uk had the tubes but there not on their site anymore http://www.thehellteam.com/catalogue/c18/c158

sorry total newbie here again!!! When buying your 1st trial bike is there anything to look out for ? anyone got any buying tips.. Thanks again! regards jez

Sorry if this is a bit basic, but how often should I change / clean my air filter I

Have any of you been in high rev situations while in gear as your bike is running out of gas? Any stories and/or crashes? When my bike runs out of gas, it revs like crazy for about 20 seconds (it's horrible for everything, now I know that it sucks up more gas than I thought it did). Is it possible that I have an air leak since the revs last this long? What has been your experience(s) regarding lean fuel conditions?

Hi guys It's all to common to here of company after company delivering bad service. After a mention on here I sent some ajs stormer/villers parts to have some work done by Nametab engineering. I phoned Simon Bateman up on monday to ask if he had recieved my bits, to which he said yes however he was going away tuesday for 10 days (oh bugger).

Thanks guys

Hi, could some of the more experienced out there solve a problem, I am relatively new to trials and I am having a problem with the inner tube creeping round inside the tyre. The tyre itself is not moving (paint marks) but after a short time the valve is at an angle as the inner tube is moving relative to the wheel and tyre. It only seems to happen with new tyres/tubes and after a while stops happening. I run 5 psi on a classic ie heavy bike. Thanks Jon

Hi. Does anyone know if the stator on a beta evo 300 4t 2011 is capable of powering full bike lights, - headlight, brake light, indicators,etc for a night time mot? If not, is it possible to increase the size of it or is that just asking for trouble? I'm sure I could manage with just a day time mot, it's just it would be nice to not have to worry about night time driving, esp in winter when days are so short. Also for insurance, I know carol nash do trials insurance but is that just cover for competitions or for any time I wanna go out for a play ☺ Thanks for any help
