Hi. My name is alex and looking to start trials riding. I do a lot of mountain biking and looking to ride a bit of trials for fun to switch I up. Where abouts in Aberdeenshire or moray is ther to ride hassle free. I live at the foot of bennachie and fancy playing around there but sure I'll get caught out after not too long. Cheers

Hi All, I've just purchased my son a Beta 80 and he's showing real keen interest, He had a KTM65 before this and didnt want to know it but all I hear now is "Dad can we go out on the bikes please?" So I thought i'd find a good place where to get info and stumbled across this site.

Hi all, Jeff here from Randle (Gifford Pinchott). I just bought an used 2019 Bete Evo 300. It had leaky rt fork and I'm trying to put in new seals in it. I'm trying to remove the bolt on the bottom of the fork. With the forks off I used an air impact gun and it loosened it enough for the oil to leak out. Now it just spins and I've researched the internet and cant find what I can do. Any help would be appreciated Thanks, Jeff

Hi all: Back in the 80's, when I was a "real" trials rider (not the imaginary rider I have de-volved into in recent years.....), I used to get these great European and Japanese trials videos from Cosmopolitan Motors (the old US Beta importer). There were compilations of World Rounds, Beta factory stuff and Japanese instruction tapes. When I joined Trials Central, I eagerly went through all of the great videos posted (thank you, Andy!) and have found that I need more. I would like to find outdoor world champ DVD's, top rider practice sessions, UK or Euro training instruction. I am a bit isolated now that my favorite nearby riding areas have gone under state control and we…

Thinking about getting into trials riding and a guy from another forum pointed me here. At the minute I can't afford a bike and all the gear but as soon as I can I'll get it all sorted. What would you guys say is the best way to get in to it? Tar

Hi all .... just thought I would drop in. I have been riding for along while and have always been interested in trials but have never participated. After going to an AHRMA event near here I don't know why I stayed away so long. Anyhow I have found a bike and am in the process of making it workable to practice and compete on next season so I am looking forward to that. Most of my riding experience has been enduros and trails with a little mx along time ago. Thanks Sam

Had a nasty fall from my Ducati last week, so have decided to leave the road and go back to clubman trials and track days. Just ordered a new Repsol 4rt ready for when my bones are mended, and I expect to sell the Ducati when she's back from the menders and get either an 1198 or Blade for next years track days. Not been on the site for probably 3 years and had a trials bike for a couple of years - since 09 Raga 300, but already looking forward to wobbling about in the woods again.

Hi I'm Charlie and I thought I'd introduce myself and my bikes... I'm 16 from Essex and have been messing around rebuilding engines since I was like nine! I have a bantam d1 in bits which is going to be pretty standard just alloy guards, trials seat, bigger rear sprocket and bigger trials bars... But my main trials fixation is my tiger cub, we got it in bits a couple of months ago from my dads college for just

Always fancied trials riding as far back as kickstart with Peter Purvis but never actually tried it. At 54 (now 57) I might be starting late but if I don't do anything too crazy I should be okay. Question is where do I ride in or near Birmingham and is there a local club? UPDATE: ive bought a Beta 250 (see pic)

I had logged on as oldtlsdoug back in 2009, that id fell off. Anyway, I was given a 2006 Beta Rev 3 270. It needs a kickstarter and maybe a stator. My plan is to change the kickstarter, see if she runs, then deal with the stator if not. I am a little reluctant to mix the gas 80:1, but it seems the going mix, so I guess I will. I think I have some Maxima K2 full synthetic oil. For the crankcase I have a lot of leftover Motorex 4T full synth 20W50 from my RC8 days. I am hoping I can use that. Anyway, I am looking forward to playing with the thing when I get her running.

Hi all, my first trials bike turned up today (1999 Beta Techno),mad bikes all my life but my trials experience is limited to jumping on my mates gas gas jtr at work and promptly twisting the throttle wide open with the inevitable result......

The clutch stick from cold is savage and I read with interest the fix in the sticky, only prob is the have no idea where to drain or fill the clutch from!! I am sure it will come to me, I have seen the parts manuals on sites but not an owner manual? Trial…
