HEY EVERYBODY RUNNING 80-1 AND PLUG IS WET ALMOST LIKE ITS RICH. IS THIS NORMAL?

Hi everyone, I know this seems like a stupid question but I just bought a 2007 beta 250 4-stroke and I'm trying to find out what exact model it's is? VIN is ZD3T3020070000206 . From what i can find its a rev 4T, but then I'm seeing evo's and 4RT's and rev3 4T, etc etc it's a bit confusing 🤡🤯 thanks

Hi everyone. Totally new to trials and Totally new to beta. I just bought a cheap and cheerfull 2007 rev4t 250 4-stroke. The clutch is dragging and it seems to then when driving it has to be let out completely then it engages kinda sharply. Anyway I found a few hints where you file the glue off the friction plates and polish the little dogs on the plates so I'll try that. But the lever is a bit sloppy and the screw that pushes the piston in the master cylinder is pushing at an angle? There's a small leak there too. Having a little trouble finding a master cylinder rebuild kit for it, hard to identify my master cylinder? Any tips appreciated. I'll add photos of master and…

Hi all, Just stripped my forks down on a Montesa 4rt and replaced lower and upper bushes along with new seals and oil. My question is to do with the right fork leg: Do I fit fork cap with fork compressed or extended? Im thinking compressed as that’s when you measure the oil height and it will work better with controlling the spring rebound. I can’t see this info in the manual. Pic of both legs ready to fit with difference in length.

Hi all, for context/back story I have a 300 Sherco trials bike and 300 Sherco 4-stroke enduro bike- and struggle to find time to use either! My trials riding is Novice level and living on the London/Essex border, my 'enduro' riding is the odd enduro practice day or Hare & Hounds practice day. Generally tighter stuff, and again I'm Novice level. I can't justify having both bikes, so am considering a trials bike with long-ride kit. A Honda 4-Ride is the logical option but I'm a little wary, so that leaves TRS, Beta, or Sherco. My Sherco has a biiiiiiig jump between 3rd and 4th, which isn't ideal. How do the TRS and Beta compare?

I have been looking for a pair of upper fork legs for my 2014 Montesa 4rt repsol. Is there an alternative that will fit the 39mm Showa lower legs? Hard to find Montesa parts that don’t break the bank! Cheers

Hi guys I’m looking for some help here I have a Beta evo 125 (22) and looking to make it more secure in my garage. I bought a Datatag and an Oxford Beast ground anchor, lock and chain but my sheer stupidity didn’t realise it won’t fit through the frame unless I take the spark plug out .. I don’t really want to be doing that its been suggested to take the wheels off which seems a good idea but I can pick the bike up then Anyone recommended a good lock and chain etc or are their other trains of thought? tia

Hi all I'm trying to import my 2022 TXT 250 into the US, but i'm currently not with my bike to check the stickers. Are there any 'competition only' or U.S emissions stickers on the bike? If so, could any kind soul send me or post a photos of the stickers (or stamps) so I can check with US customs if i can import or not. Thank you!

Need advice. I was washing my bike on the lawn and the kickstand sunk in into the soil and tipped the bike over jamming the front brake caliper. The lever, afterwards, would not spring back. I took the caliper off and forced the pistons open but the lever still had not sprung back. I then took the master cylinder apart and freed the piston. I inspected all the parts and they had no damage whatsoever. Then I tried bleeding the brakes, both by reverse and from the reservoir, but I cannot get the system to take any fluid at all. The ports in the master cylinder are open and clean. The pistons in the caliper move freely. I’ve checked the cable and it is free of clogs also. I’…

Hi. I'm new to trials and have got a gas gas txt racing 225. I'm finding that at low revs and in 1st gear the bike sometimes feels jerky, almost as if I was in too high a gear. Just wondering if anyone knows what could be causing this. I notice the chain could do with tensioning, could that cause it or is the gearing all wrong? It's got 9/48 sprockets. I've fitted a slow throttle too but find it very responsive despite the slow throttle. Any ideas/help appreciated. Cheers

Hello guys... basically part 2 of my previous topic about the 125cc. I'm looking for another trial bike to explore hard trails... but no bike is "local" to me, at least 1.5 hours from here. I've found a Montesa 310 Evasion, a 315, a couple of older TXT280s, a few Beta Revs from the early 2000s. I'd prefer a road legal bike as I don't own a van to move it around and I'm at about 10km from the nearest woods. Found more than one Evasion 310, one is basically brand new with less than 1000km but it needs plate/paperwork, so I'll have to apply for one and cover the costs... basically it will cost 250/300 bucks more than the other that already have the plate and …

Hello guys, for some reason I have an itch to give trial another chance... owned a Beta Rev 270 and a Gasgas TXT280... the GG wasn't street legal so I had to carry it on my SUV, very annoying. It looks like prices are all over the place at the moment... I wanted to get a cheap but decent bike to see if I can get better, but I want it street legal to not be forced to carry it on my car. It looks like I'd have to spend at least €2000 for a relatively recent Gasgas (2008 to 2012), while early 2000s models are only slightly cheaper at €1600. Makes no sense. Anyway I've also found a pretty cheap 2004 TXT 125cc. that's also road legal... but I'm almost 6' (180cm)…

hi all just wondering if anybody has got a wiring diagram for this its of a beta rev 3 and i need to fit it to a beta zero witch I'm told can be done just need to no what wires do what and go where or pointing to someone who has done this in the past Many thanks Andy

I broke the lever lug off my front brake master cylinder at the weekend so I need a new master cylinder. Are AJP and Braktec the same thing? I thought they were different but I've seen them advertised as the same.
